I Have to Go See Them Today

Zhou Wanwan shook her head and said:

"Jealousy really does make people ugly. I just snatched them away. I get annoyed just seeing that mother and daughter."

If they don't send their secret guards to kill me, I won't even bother robbing them!

I wonder if the ladies and young Upper Capital have any money? Please don't disappoint me.

Zhou Wanwan turned and went back to her residence; she didn't need to worry about anything else.

Those trees will transport things directly up the mountain.

The next morning, Zheng Xing'an came in and said:

"Miss, hehehe, something terrible has happened! Last night, the Lu Family's two carriages simply vanished."

The clothes and jewelry worn by Madam Lu and Miss Lu were also missing.

This morning someone found them by the roadside, and the beggars pulled them away.

Zhou Wanwan exclaimed, "No way? What... what's going on?"

The Old Scholar Tree sighed and said:

"It's really not our fault. We didn't strip Madam Lu and Miss Lu of their clothes."

We didn't even want those clothes! We were the ones who stripped the jewelry off.

Then weren't all of Madam Lu's bodyguards sent to assassinate us?

Only a few guards remained, and those guards had limited skills. When Madam Lu woke up, she saw a group of beggars.

As a result, a conflict broke out with the beggars, and the beggars directly attacked the guards.

Then they pulled Madam Lu and Lu Xuening into the dilapidated temple...

Zhou Wanwan looked up at the Old Scholar Tree and asked, "And then?"

The Old Scholar Tree sighed and said, "Of course, she was... you know. Later, the Lu Family found her, and now Countess of Yongning is busy announcing the engagement!"

Zhou Wanwan sighed and said:

"It's one thing after another, but Madam Lu is ruthless; she transferred all of her personal guards away."

There were ten guards in total, and not a single one was spared. It seems they have no way to save me.

"Such a big thing happened, I have to go and check on them! Where are they living now?"

The Old Scholar Tree nearly burst out laughing, "Are you sure they want to see you right now?"

Zhou Wanwan looked at the Old Scholar Tree and said:

"Uncle Scholar Tree, we should have a conscience. Yesterday she sent ten guards to check on me."

This is an affirmation; I must go see them today, and bring some gifts.

Uh... they must have lost a lot of blood last night, they need to replenish their fluids."

They even thoughtfully found Madam Su Zhixia.

Madam Su looked at Zhou Wanwan and said:

"Haha, you're really something, kid. Yes, yes, we've been neighbors for years."

We should go and see them properly; they both suffered last night.

Now we all know.

Zhou Wanwan scoffed lightly:

"They don't suffer, but we do."

Last night, they had initially tried to pin everything on Zhixia.

"Thieves are shameless, so we have to take a good look at them today."

Madam Su said coldly:

"We have no grudge against the Lu Family, so why are they targeting us?"

I really don't understand, I don't quite get it.

And as for Countess of Yongning, we've been neighbors for a long time. No matter what, she shouldn't have stooped to such a low level.

She insists on making my daughter a concubine. Why doesn't she let her own daughter be a concubine? It's ridiculous.

Zhou Wanwan nodded and said, "Let's go, let's get out of the car, we've arrived."

At this moment, Madam Lu and Lu Xuening were being settled in the post station.

This post station was a place specifically used by the government to entertain relatives and families of officials from other places. It was not luxurious, but it was known for its strict rules and safety.

The atmosphere inside is very oppressive; there's not a trace of liveliness.

Zhou Wanwan entered carrying a food box. Not only had they arrived, but many noble ladies and young women had also come.

Zhou Wanwan entered the room and said, "Sister Xuening, I heard you weren't feeling well, so I specially cooked a bowl of porridge to bring you some to replenish your energy."

Lu Xuening saw Zhou Wanwan and was filled with hatred. She got out of bed and said, "Zhou Wanwan, you little bitch, how dare you come here?"

Surprisingly, everyone in the room was there, including Shangguan Wan'er, Lu Lan, and Wen Zhiyu.

Zhou Wanwan quickly comforted her:

"Sister Lu, why are you so angry? You don't need to get up, you don't need to get up."

Everyone knows what happened last night.

You went to all the trouble of getting up just to greet me; that's really admirable.

"You have so many wounds! You look so pitiful! I have some wound medicine here, would you like some?"

Lu Xuening was so angry that she spat out a mouthful of blood. Next door, Madam Lu was sobbing uncontrollably, "What a tragedy! Zhou Wanwan, you come here right now!"

Zhou Wanwan, disregarding Lu Xuening, quickly turned and went next door, saying, "Madam Lu, I also brought you a bowl of porridge. It's good for replenishing your blood and energy, perfect for your current condition. Please eat it while it's hot."

Madam Lu looked at Zhou Wanwan and said, "I'm asking you, where are my family's bodyguards?"

Zhou Wanwan was startled. "Madam Lu, what do you mean by that? Why would your guards come to ask me?"

Madam Lu was so angry she trembled:

"Did you kill my bodyguards? Hand them over right now!"

These guards were trained with great care by my master. If you kill them, you'd better expect the Lu Family's revenge!

Zhou Wanwan was both amused and exasperated.

"Madam Lu thinks too highly of me. How could I possibly have the ability to kill a secret guard?"

It's quite a coincidence, though. Yesterday it did seem like someone was trying to kill me, but I ended up fighting with other people instead.

Later, they fought back and forth, and I lost track of where I went.

But why are your bodyguards looking for me? You... you're not planning to kill me to cover your tracks, are you?

Madam Lu, how cruel you are! I'm only six years old, and you want to kill me to cover it up? Waaaaah...

I'm so scared! Madam Su, this Madam Lu is so terrifying!

Madam Su patted Zhou Wanwan's head and said:

"Madam Lu, what exactly did Zhou Wanwan do wrong?"

You're going to send ten bodyguards to assassinate her? She's just a child!

Those around exchanged bewildered glances when Countess of Yongning walked in with a cold expression and said, "Madam Lu, let's call off the marriage between our two families!"

Her tone was full of sarcasm:

We can't afford to deal with your daughter!

Last night, they actually spent the night with beggars at the temple. Our family can't afford to have that kind of reputation.

Give me the wedding invitation and engagement letter right now, and we'll exchange them on the spot, then we're even!

Madam Lu's face turned pale instantly, and she roared angrily:

"Countess of Yongning! What do you mean by this?"

Is Xuening someone I can marry and break off relationships with as I please?

Nothing happened last night, so stop making baseless accusations!

Countess of Yongning sneered, her eyes filled with disdain. "Madam Lu, you know the truth! The evidence is all there; do you expect me to explain everything in public?"

She raised her hand, interrupting Madam Lu's explanation, and said resolutely, "The marriage invitation must be returned! With your daughter in her current state, she still wants to marry into our Estate of the Count of Yongning? Dream on!"
