Breakfast Comes First, Even If the Sky Falls

Zhou Wanwan looked at her coldly and said, "What do you want by bringing the yamen runners here?"

Fang Ting snorted coldly and said, "Of course we're here to arrest you! You stole my things, so you'll have to pay the price. Just wait!"

Zhou Wanwan looked at Liu Su'e and said, "Father, Mother, don't worry about that, let's have breakfast first!"

Even if the sky falls, you still have to eat breakfast first.

The Zhou Family looked at her with amusement; there was only one table in the living room.

They had all finished eating, but they deliberately stayed, waiting to see Zhou Wanwan make a fool of herself.

Zheng Xing'an called out loudly, "Serve breakfast!"

Then I saw several people carrying a long table in, and they quickly set up the chairs.

A dozen or so maids dressed in matching blue dresses filed in through the door, each carrying a carved mahogany tray, their footsteps so light they were almost silent.

In just a short while, the entire wooden table was filled to the Manman, dazzling the eyes.

On the table are:

Crystal shrimp dumplings, crab roe xiaolongbao, siu mai, steamed dumplings, custard buns, red bean buns, and pork buns.

Golden thread flower rolls, water chestnut cake, radish cake, and layered oil cake.

Century egg and lean pork congee, lily bulb and lotus seed congee, white fungus and red date congee, shredded chicken congee.

Three stir-fried seasonal vegetables, cold black fungus salad, pickled cucumber, crispy radish, spiced braised beef, and braised duck tongue.

Steamed corn, steamed yam, steamed taro, boiled eggs, tea eggs, poached eggs.

There were also several small, delicate dishes of pickled vegetables, candied fruits, and preserved fruits.

There were also warm milk tea, soy milk, and regular milk on the side.

Zhou Wanwan sat in the main seat, and the others also took their seats, Congrong calmly and not finding it strange at all.

The Zhou Family standing nearby were completely dumbfounded, their eyes wide open and their mouths agape.

Zhou Fuyu couldn't help but cry out:

"You guys... you actually ate such a good breakfast? That's too extravagant!"

"Just the seven of you, and you've prepared dozens of different breakfast dishes. Don't you think that's a huge waste?"

Zhou Qingzhou swallowed hard. Compared to Zhou Wanwan's family's breakfast, their breakfast was incredibly meager.

Zhou Wanwan was really hungry, so Zheng Xing'an served her a bowl of chicken porridge and said, "Miss, let me check with a silver needle first."

Fang Ting couldn't help but sneer, "Your family is a bit too particular about rules, isn't it? It's like someone's trying to harm her."

Zhou Wanwan couldn't be bothered with her, and she didn't want to either.

But behind her was a group of civil and military officials, who felt that these things had to be done.

After quickly testing for the poison, Zhou Wanwan immediately started drinking chicken porridge, then ate a few crystal shrimp dumplings, two tea eggs, and finally a bowl of milk tea.

She was now satisfied, and looked at the Zhou Family members, saying:

Why are you all staring at us?

Our breakfast is certainly not as good as yours, oh dear! It's just something simple we eat.

This is deliberate mockery.

Old Madam Zhou was so angry that her face turned red.

"Since you've prepared so much breakfast, why don't you share it with everyone? Are you doing this on purpose?"

Fourth brother! You weren't like this before. You used to eagerly give me and your father the best of everything.

How did you become like this?

Zhou Fuyu looked at Zhou Fusheng and said, "I always thought you were a filial son, but I never expected you to become so selfish."

Zhou Fusheng took a sip of soy milk and said:

"You all know this was in the past. Wasn't I stupid back then?"

Look at you, you don't even invite us to breakfast, you won't even let us sit at the table, and you expect us to be filial to you?

How can I possibly be filial to you?

Old Madam Zhou looked at him and said:

What do you mean by that? Aren't we good enough to you?

After you came back, you took all our beds away. What else do you want?

Zhou Fusheng found it exhausting to talk to her, when he saw more than twenty constables walk in.

Fang Ting said with a smile, "Zhou Wanwan, it's finally time to deal with you. Search her room; my things are definitely in her room."

Zhou Wanwan suddenly spoke up:

What if I don't have any of your things in my room?

"What if you start spouting nonsense and try to take my things from my room?"

Fang Ting sneered, "Who else could it be but you? I heard you're a bandit; isn't robbing people normal?"

Zhou Wanwan's people rushed in as well, and she smiled gently:

"It's not that we can't search, but we can't just let whatever you say go, can we?"

Okay, write down what you've lost first.

Then if you lose something in my room, then you can take it.

"What are you going to do if your lost item isn't in my room?"

Fang Ting looked at her and said:

"Are you trying to negotiate with me? I'm the eldest daughter of the prefect's family. Who do you think you are? Just a petty thief."

Today I'm going to arrest you and send you to prison.

What are you all standing there for? Just arrest them!

The lead constable looked at Zhou Wanwan, swallowed hard, and said, "Miss, we're not here to arrest anyone for you. If you really have any evidence, we can help you investigate."

Fang Ting stomped her feet in anger. "What are you all worried about? Didn't my father send you here to help me?"

The constable smiled wryly and said, "We were indeed sent to help you, but he also told us not to do anything reckless."

His heart was pounding. Who was this? This was the leader of Black Wind Stronghold!

This young lady has absolutely no idea how terrifying the Black Wind Stronghold leader is.

Fang Ting roared angrily, "Whose subordinates are you anyway? Anyone who didn't know better would think you were Zhou Wanwan's men!"

Zhou Wanwan looked at Fang Ting with a half-smile and said, "You want to search my room? Fine, but first you need to give me an explanation. What do you plan to do if you can't find those things?"

Fang Ting scoffed lightly:

"If I can't find out, then I'll kneel down and kowtow to you three times in front of the entire city."

What if they find out?

Zhou Wanwan said with a grin, "Whatever you say, we'll do it!"

Fang Ting thought for a moment and said, "Then give me something of equal value in return, and that bed is mine too."

Zhou Wanwan laughed and said, "Come on, sign and put your fingerprint on this."

Zhou Wanwan was very familiar with this process.

Fang Ting looked at the constables and said, "Go in and search!"

All the constables stared at Zhou Wanwan. Zhou Wanwan coughed and said, "Go! Go! Don't break my things. If you do, you'll have to pay for them."

The head constable quickly nodded and said, "Don't worry, we absolutely won't damage anything for you."

The constables tiptoed into the room. Fang Ting was furious. "She's just a child, what are you afraid of her for? Search her now!"

"Aren't we searching? Miss, please calm down."

These constables searched very thoroughly, but also very slowly.

Furthermore, to ensure the integrity of Zhou Wanwan's belongings, they deliberately spread several pieces of cloth on the ground.

Zhou Wanwan's jewelry quickly filled several pieces of cloth.
