Going Hunting on the Mountain and Ending Up Owing Such an Enormous Sum

Shen Wanjun was trembling all over:

"How should I know what to do? I never imagined that going hunting in the mountains would lead to such a huge debt."

"Over 100 million taels of silver. Even if all of us combined our assets, I'm afraid we couldn't scrape together that much."

Liu Quan said softly, "Then let's get through this hurdle first. I have 600,000 taels here."

I have 200,000 taels here.

I only have 1.1 million taels here.

As a result, more than a dozen students from Jiangnan raised more than 3 million taels of silver.

Zhou Wanwan looked at Shen Wanjun and said:

"Not even enough for interest, so take everything of value from yourselves."

Shen Wanjun, write me an IOU.

I'll let you go back."

Shen Wanjun was now in a difficult position and could only write down the IOU with trembling hands.

Zhou Wanwan then smiled and carefully put away the silver notes, saying, "Hey! Brothers, meeting adjourned. I'll come find you guys to play again sometime."

As soon as she finished speaking, the wild beasts slowly retreated and soon disappeared.

Shen Wanjun and the others breathed a sigh of relief, and Zhou Wanwan then looked at them and said:

"Oh my! You students from Jiangnan are so kind."

I'd really welcome you to visit. Let's have a friendly match sometime.

The students from Jiangnan were furious, their faces turning red. Liu Quan glared at her and said, "Sparring my ass! Zhou Wanwan, you just wait, you'll pay for this sooner or later."

Someone wiped away tears and cried, "Everyone says Dongshan Prefecture is a wild and uncivilized place, and now I see it's true."

"Poor and remote areas breed unruly people—that's absolutely true!"

A group of people were cursing and preparing to leave Zhou Wanwan reminded them:

"Don't rush! There's plenty of delicious food here. Why don't you eat something before you go?"

After all, you paid so much money.

Shen Wanjun glared at her and said:

"I have over a hundred million taels of silver, what can't I eat?"

I'd eat people if I wanted to, why would I want to eat you piece of trash?

You just wait.

Zhou Wanwan looked at him with a half-smile and said:

"Young Master Shen, don't be so fierce. You have to pay me back every month. If you can't, you'll have to sell yourself into slavery!"

Let's think about what to do!

"Waaaaah..." Shen Wanjun ran away crying.

Zhou Wanwan sighed and said:

"What's there to cry about? What kind of man are you, crying like this?"

What should we do now? Maybe we should go back; it's too boring up here."

Fang Zhiyuan quickly nodded in agreement, saying, "Huihui, let's go back now! I'm terrified those wild beasts will suddenly appear."

Zhou Wanwan walked up to him and said, "Brother Fang, don't be afraid..."

"No... I'm not afraid. What's there to be afraid of? I'm not afraid."

Zhou Wanwan almost died laughing when she saw his walking posture, where he moved his arms and legs in unison.

This prefect is really no good, and this county magistrate is no better; how come their families are all like this?

Fang Zhiyuan looked at Gu Sinian and said, "Boss, don't you think Zhou Wanwan is scary?"

Gu Sinian shook his head and said, "Terrible?"

He turned to look at Zhou Wanwan, his eyes full of tenderness, and said:

"It's not scary! I think Zhou Wanwan has a pretty good personality and temper. As long as others don't provoke her, she will never cause trouble."

But if anyone provokes her, their fate is uncertain.

Fang Zhiyuan saying, "I will definitely go back and try to persuade my dad. He's so brainless, I'm really scared!"

When they got home, they saw that Old Madam Zhou and Old Man Zhou were still awake and sitting in the living room waiting for them!

Old Madam Zhou looked at Zhou Wanwan and said, "You brat, I don't know where you ran off to, and you're only just coming back now."

Zhou Wanwan pouted and said, "You're still awake? Waiting for us here? Did you prepare dinner for us?"

She sneered and said:

"Dream on! What kind of dinner are you making? Our family rule is that we only eat at mealtimes; if we miss them, there's no food."

I just went to see your room, and I think the things inside are pretty good.

Your third sister-in-law has her eye on it, especially that bed; you're lucky.

She was just about to send someone to move it!

Hey! If I had come back any later, all her things would have been stolen from her room?

Then Liu Su'e's voice came. "What right do you have to touch the child's things?"

"My young lady is the daughter of the prefect. It is the bed's owner's good fortune to have taken a liking to this bed."

Don't deliberately obstruct us, or don't blame us for being impolite.

Liu Su'e sneered:

"This is our stuff, why should we give it to you? Don't even think about it!"

If you lay a hand on me again, you'll be sorry when my daughter gets back!

The servants laughed loudly:

"Hmph, a six-year-old brat dares to put on airs in front of us?"

"She's just a greenhorn, how dare she challenge our master?"

"Exactly! Born into a lowly family, not even as good as a maid in a respectable household, yet she dares to put on airs here!"

The other person spat out a mouthful of contempt:

"You ignorant fool! The prefect's daughter's purse is extremely valuable; she would be guilty of a capital offense for stepping on it!"

It's only because the young lady is kind-hearted that she didn't hold it against her; if it were anyone else, they would have dragged her out and beaten her to death long ago. How could they tolerate her acting so presumptuously here?

Such a lowly person, born to be trampled underfoot, dares to come near us!

Zhou Fusheng trembled with anger. "I'm a scholar, after all! If you dare touch my daughter's things, I'll fight you to the death!"

The servants became even more brazen. "What scholar, sir? In our prefect's mansion, he's nothing but a fart!"

"Beat them! Beat them to death! These scoundrels deserve to be taught a lesson."

Just as they were about to make a move, Zhou Wanwan led a group of people into the room:

"What a show of power! Are you a servant of the prefect's household?"

"Bring them here and take them before Third Sister-in-law. I want to ask, is this how the Prefect's family is raised?"

She was in a great mood after winning so much on the mountain, so she didn't want to argue with Fang Ting.

But I can't let it go tonight.

She led a group of people straight to Fang Ting and kicked open Fang Ting's door.

Fang Ting screamed, "What are you doing? Why are you kicking down my door?"

Zhou Wanwan sneered, "Fang Ting, are these all your subordinates?"

Fang Ting looked down at her and said:

"Zhou Wanwan, you've come at the right time. I've got my eye on your bed. Give it to me!"

And all that gold and silver jewelry—what does a little kid need so much for? Give it all to me!

This is truly shameless.

Zhou Wanwan looked at her and said, "Are you saying that I have to give you whatever you want? What kind of rule is that?"

Fang Ting chuckled and said:

"That's naturally the rule of the prefect's residence, so I'll just tell you that!"

I am my father's most beloved daughter, and my dowry alone amounted to eighteen loads.

How many people in the entire Dongshan Prefecture could afford such a large dowry?

So you'd better not mess with me. It's your good fortune that I've taken a liking to your things.
