Madam Shen was utterly speechless; Shen Congrong was acting like a child.

She said helplessly:

"Can't you be a little more mature? You're a father of three, and you're still so childish? People would laugh at you if they knew."

Why are you getting angry with a 6-year-old?

Zhou Wanwan patted her stomach and said, "Auntie, I'm full."

Madam Shen looked at Zhou Wanwan and said:

"You're so pretty. Auntie will take you home later."

How about I take you to the farm today?

Zhou Wanwan quickly clapped her hands. Madam Shen really liked her and treated her like her own child.

He took her to a very large estate, and Shen Congrong stared at Zhou Wanwan, saying:

"I'll be keeping a close eye on you. You better behave yourself. This is my wife's estate. If you dare to misbehave..."

I'll just break your legs!

Zhou Wanwan looked at him with a half-smile, while Madam Shen grabbed his ear and said:

"Whose legs are you trying to break, Shen Congrong? You think you're so tough now!"

If they're going to harm a child, are they going to harm me next?

Shen Congrong looked at her and said:

"Madam, haven't I treated you well all these years? How could I possibly bear to harm you!"

I don't even have a concubine, nor a woman by my side. Why would I lay a hand on you?"

Madam Shen coughed and said, "Wanwan, don't mind him. Auntie will take you to play on the boat."

Shen Yunshu also liked Zhou Wanwan very much, and said while holding her hand:

"Wanwan, there's a boat over there, let's go fishing on it!"

Do you know how to fish? If not, I'll teach you!

Shen Congrong sneered:

"With her like that, fishing? That's hilarious."

I have to say I'm really good at catching big fish every time. Today I've caught a grass carp for you guys to try.

Madam Shen's boat was a large painted barge; it was very big and looked particularly impressive.

She walked to the bow of the boat, stood for a while, and then sat down.

Shen Congrong was sitting not far away. She glanced at her and snorted disdainfully.

Zhou Wanwan put the bait in the water, and not long after, the fishing rod suddenly sank.

She immediately exclaimed happily, "Oh! My fish seems to have taken the bait!"

With that, he pulled up a large bluefish, which landed on the boat with a "plop" and was still jumping around.

Shen Congrong glanced at it, coughed, and said indignantly:

"What's so great about it? It's just a bluefish."

You're just lucky as a beginner.

"You wait, I'll catch an even bigger one in a bit."

He fished for more than half an hour, but the float didn't move at all, and he didn't catch a single fish.

Looking at Zhou Wanwan again, there were already more than ten fish behind her, each one bigger than the last.

Shen Yunshu, who was standing next to her, was also having good luck today, catching two big fish and smiling very happily.

Shen Wanjun, standing to the side, said helplessly:

"Uncle, can't you be a little more assertive?"

Everyone else has caught so many fish Wanwan, and you haven't caught a single one. That's so embarrassing!

But no matter how hard Shen Congrong tried today, he couldn't catch a single big fish.

Finally, he caught a fish and laughed loudly, "A fish took the bait... This fish is really big, hahaha..."

He gripped the fishing rod tightly with both hands, pulling it upwards with all his might, his face turning red as he leaned back forcefully.

But the force underwater was terrifyingly strong. Not only did he fail to pull the fish up, he was instead violently pulled by a tremendous force!

"Why--!"

Shen Congrong was dragged forward and fell into the river with a splash.

There was a moment of silence on the ship, followed by a low chuckle.

Zhou Wanwan stood at the bow of the boat, laughing so hard she was bent over:

"Oh dear, Lord Shen, I'm starting to see something..."

"You're not fishing, the fish are fishing for you!"

Shen Congrong gritted her teeth and said:

"Zhou Wanwan, you just wait, don't be so smug."

"One day I'll prove to everyone just how wicked you are, you little brat!"

He changed his clothes and called Shen Wanjun over, saying:

"Madam, I'll tell you right now just how wicked and vicious this girl is!"

Our Shen Wanjun made a bet with her, and that girl won over 100 million taels of silver from our family.

Over 100 million taels of silver! Just think about it, what kind of person could this girl be!

Shen Wanjun, you should quickly tell your aunt how she bullied you!

Everyone stared at Shen Wanjun, Shen Wanjun kept his head down and remained silent.

Shen Congrong looked at him and said, "Are you mute? Hurry up and say something! Let everyone see her true colors while there are so many people around."

Shen Wanjun took a deep breath and said, "Actually, the bet was my fault. I made a bet with Wanwan, and we had a contract."

He took out the contract directly, and Madam Shen looked at it and said:

"Tsk tsk tsk... Shen Wanjun, you're really something."

Sending a 6-year-old child alone into the deep mountains and forests—you Shen Clan really did that!

Isn't this ridiculous? What if the child gets carried off by a wild animal?

She paused for a moment, then said, "That doesn't seem right! How did Wanwan win over 100 million taels of silver Wanwan?"

Zhou Wanwan smiled and said:

"I made a deal with those animals!"

As long as they come with me, I'll treat them to a meal later, and they'll come with me as soon as they hear that!

Shen Congrong retorted angrily, "Only a fool would believe that."

Shen Wanjun looked at his uncle and said, "It's true, those animals are so obedient. Whatever you ask them to do Wanwan, they do it!"

Shen Congrong scoffed coldly:

Why don't you say he can fly to the sky? And that you can make all the animals listen to you?

I don't believe it. I remember we kept dozens of dogs in our village.

If you can train these dozens of dogs well, I will...

Zhou Wanwan asked, "What does Lord Shen mean?"

Shen Congrong took out a box, inside which was a gold bracelet inlaid with gemstones.

The bracelet is made entirely of pure gold, densely inlaid with rubies, Blue Treasure, and crystals that sparkle in the sunlight, making it impossible to look away.

Shen Congrong said with a smile:

"See this? This is a red gold inlaid jewel bracelet, a tribute from the Western Regions. There are only a handful in the entire capital."

If you win, I'll give this to you.

Zhou Wanwan seemed to like the bracelet quite a bit, and nodded, saying, "Alright then!"

Before long, the farm brought over dozens of dogs.

Before we even got close, we heard a chorus of barking that made our ears ring.

Zhou Wanwan turned around and was stunned.

Most of these dogs were actually large and fierce Tibetan Mastiffs, with strong builds, bushy fur, and a menacing and intimidating appearance.

Madam Shen was so frightened that her face turned pale. She quickly hugged Zhou Wanwan and said hastily, "No, no, let's not compete anymore, it's too scary."

She turned to Shen Congrong and said, "Give me that gemstone bracelet. I'll give it directly to Wanwan. Don't let her take that risk."

But Shen Congrong wouldn't listen; she turned her head away, her attitude very firm:

"No way! I brought this bracelet out to make a bet."

If she loses, I definitely can't just give it to her like that!
