Do You Think Our Home Will Be Wiped Out Today?

With a gentle lift of the tree root, the wooden box lid slowly opened, instantly revealing a dazzling array of precious stones.

It was filled with rubies, Blue Treasure, cat's-eye stones, pearls, red agate, and crystal beads.

There were also sets of gold-inlaid jade jewelry, kingfisher feather headdresses, and silver-gilt necklaces, all dazzlingly luxurious.

The persimmon tree, its eyes tingling with envy, buried itself in its work and dug furiously. Suddenly, it shoveled up some soil and shouted, "Mine's the most valuable! It's a huge lacquer treasure chest!"

It was filled with large gold Yuanbao, pure gold jewelry, jade pendants, icy jade bracelets, and imperial green jade ornaments.

There were also deep-sea pearls, amber, coral, tourmaline, several rolls of dark cloud brocade material only found in the palace, and a token.

Zhou Wanwan looked at the token and said, "I wonder what kind of token it is. I'll show it to them when we get back."

She carefully put the token away before saying, "This courtyard really looks nice. As expected of the richest man in Jiangnan, he's definitely different!"

The Old Scholar Tree nodded and said, "These houses are all built with the finest sandalwood; they're very nice."

Zhou Wanwan nodded and said, "Then let's continue moving! I need to go back to sleep. I haven't slept well these past two days sleeping in the woodshed, I'm exhausted."

Zhou Wanwan went back to sleep, while the Old Scholar Tree directed its subordinates to keep moving things.

However, this house was not as big as the previous one, and the move was completed quickly.

The entire house was completely emptied.

Early the next morning, Lord Shen and his Madam Shen smelled a foul odor.

When Lord Shen opened his eyes, he found himself lying next to a pile of cow dung.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out that there was a cow on his head.

He let out a loud "Aow!" which startled Madam Shen. "What are you yelling about? I didn't sleep well yesterday, and I was hoping to take a nap today, but you woke me up."

She rubbed her eyes and realized she was sleeping in a cowshed.

She burst into tears with a loud "Aww":

"Shen Congrong, who exactly have you offended? Why are you getting more and more terrifying every day?"

Yesterday we slept on the edge of the field, today we'll sleep in the cowshed.

"Am I going to wake up in this cesspool tomorrow?"

Shen Congrong shuddered in fright, and he scrambled to his feet, cursing as he said:

"I don't know which deity I offended, this is our ancestral home!"

It was taken away! I can't live anymore!

Madam Shen was on the verge of tears. "Who is it?"

Shen Congrong gritted her teeth and said, "Zhou Wanwan, it must be her. I'm going to find her right now."

When Zhou Wanwan was brought in, she was still hugging her pillow, and mumbled sleepily, "What's going on? I want to go back to sleep, I'm not fully awake yet."

Shen Congrong sat on the only bench in her house. The bench was of such poor quality that the bandits probably didn't want it.

He looked at Zhou Wanwan and asked, "What were you doing last night?"

Zhou Wanwan thought for a moment and said, "Of course I'm sleeping! What else could I be doing locked in the woodshed?"

Shen Congrong was furious:

"Zhou Wanwan, tell me honestly, did you move my two houses?"

If you confess, I'll let you go back.

Zhou Wanwan gestured with her arms and said, "You mean, with my skinny arms and legs, I can move your house?"

Zhou Wanwan glanced around and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Your house is quite clean after all that moving!"

Apart from this stool, nothing else was left. No, wait, a woodshed and an outhouse were also left.

Someone nearby couldn't help but retort, "They even left a pigsty and a cowshed!"

Zhou Wanwan wanted to laugh even more:

"No, what's wrong with you? Wherever we go, your house doesn't go."

How about this? You take me back to Jiangnan; I've long wanted to see the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan.

I want to visit Suzhou, I want to visit Hangzhou, and I also want to visit Yangzhou...

Jiangnan exists, and it exists in this world.

Therefore, Zhou Wanwan really wanted to know how the Jiangnan here differed from the Jiangnan of her previous life.

Shen Congrong was so angry that she burst into curses:

"Don't even think about it. If I take you back, you'll steal my home in Jiangnan again? No way."

Zhou Wanwan, tell me, how did you do that?

Zhou Wanwan sighed and said, "I don't know how I did it, I was sleeping the whole time!"

Shen Congrong stomped her feet in anger:

"Alright, you win. Tonight we'll go somewhere else and lock her in the woodshed again."

I refuse to believe that those guys could steal for three days straight. This time, I'm going to find a really big house.

I saw you stealing.

Lord Shen flew into a rage on the spot and immediately ordered someone to find a very large and spacious summer resort.

This is no ordinary residence; it is a large estate nestled in the mountains, complete with pavilions, towers, side rooms, storerooms, stables, and gardens.

Zhuangzi was built against the green mountains, covering a vast area, with all kinds of fruit trees planted all over the mountains.

Peach trees, pear trees, apricot trees, jujube trees, pomegranate trees, and persimmon trees, with lush foliage, stretch as far as the eye can see.

A spring breeze carries the fragrance of flowers and fruits, mingling with the fresh air of the mountains and forests, creating an exceptionally refreshing atmosphere.

Upon seeing this spectacle, Madam Shen was so angry that she stamped her feet and exclaimed:

"Are you crazy! This is such a big estate."

If someone targets you or you get robbed, you'll have nowhere to cry then!

Shen Congrong gave a cold laugh, her tone resolute:

"With such a large estate, which part could she possibly steal?"

Besides, my estate is full of grain, not gold, silver, or valuables.

Could he possibly steal from these hilltops? Could he possibly uproot all the fruit trees covering the mountains?

Ha! I'll see just how powerful those petty thieves are; I refuse to believe it.

It's just a few houses, isn't it? The Shen Clan has plenty of houses; this estate is just the tip of the iceberg for us.

I gathered a lot of people today, just waiting for them to arrive so we can catch them all in one fell swoop.

Madam, please rest assured and sleep peacefully.

How could Madam Shen possibly sleep?

She tossed and turned, looking at the Daya beside her, and said, "Do you think our household will be wiped out today?"

The Daya quickly waved her hand and said:

"No, madam, don't worry! Master brought several hundred soldiers with him today, and they've been patrolling this area non-stop."

If those bandits dare to come, I'll kill them all.

Madam Shen sighed and said:

"I traveled all the way from Jiangnan to this godforsaken place, but I never expected it to be like this."

I live in constant fear, and I don't know when it will end.

Madam Shen didn't go to sleep until midnight. Shen Congrong patrolled outside for a long time, found nothing unusual, and then went back to her room to sleep.

He put his arm around Madam Shen and said:

"Madam, don't be afraid. These people can't cause any trouble. Look, I brought several hundred men today, and so far there haven't been any problems."

Those hundreds of people are still patrolling now; I don't believe he has any extraordinary abilities.

Let's go to sleep now!

Madam Shen finally drifted off to sleep, but the next day she was awakened again by a pig-like scream.
