Tomorrow I'm Going to Jail

Zhou Wanwan said pitifully, "Then I'll eat a lot tonight. I'm going to jail tomorrow, so I'm afraid I won't be able to eat such good food anymore."

Madam Shen looked at her and said, "What do you mean by 'going to jail'? I don't understand."

Zhou Wanwan said pitifully:

"I said there was a kind of grain that could yield several thousand kilograms per acre, and then Nie Shi'an said I was full of lies."

Now they're going to lock me up, put me in their family jail."

Madam Shen glared angrily at Shen Congrong, Shen Congrong quickly said, "He doesn't give me any face at all. I've already pleaded for Zhou Wanwan."

Zhou Wanwan nodded. "They did say a couple of things on my behalf..."

Shen Congrong looked at her and said:

"Wife, I've been good enough to her."

They were going to put her in jail today, but I saved her.

"That Nie Shi'an is definitely a scoundrel, but Zhou Wanwan is no pushover either, otherwise why would she be constantly being watched?"

Before Zhou Wanwan could speak, Madam Shen glared at him and said, "What do you mean by 'troublesome'? This is such a good thing!"

"Can you believe it? No matter what kind of grain it is, you can't grow more than a few thousand kilograms per acre, okay? Isn't that just nonsense?"

Zhou Wanwan looked at Madam Shen and said, "Yes, I can have someone bring some over, Auntie. Do you trust me?"

Madam Shen quickly nodded. "I believe you, I believe you. You're not the kind of person who makes things up."

Zhou Wanwan nodded and said:

"Yes, I'm just telling the truth. I've tried all these things myself, so I naturally know how many kilograms the yield is per mu."

I'm hungry, let's have dinner!

Dinner was prepared in a very lavish manner. Zhou Wanwan had instructed her imperial chefs to prepare the dishes carefully, and the aroma of the food filled the air.

There was spicy blood curd, pickled fish, dry pot bullfrog, and a large bowl of garlic crayfish.

In addition to these main dishes, the imperial chef also specially prepared a sweet and smooth milk tea, along with several refreshing side dishes to relieve the spiciness and greasiness.

As soon as the dishes were served, their aroma filled the air.

Shen Yunshu was the first to pick up her chopsticks, eating a lot of spicy blood curd and a lot of pickled fish, enjoying it immensely and unable to stop.

Shen Yunshu rubbed her belly and said, "Wanwan, your cook's skills are amazing, even better than mine."

After tasting it, the others couldn't help but exclaim, "It's so delicious! I've never eaten such fragrant food before!"

Shen Congrong shoveled rice into her mouth while praising:

"It's so delicious! It's so delicious!"

I ate three bowls of rice last night, I just can't stop!

This spicy and fragrant Mao Xue Wang (a Sichuan dish) is absolutely delicious!

Zhou Wanwan finished eating and drinking, she picked up a watermelon juice, looked at him, and said, "You won't be able to eat such delicious things for a while."

Shen Congrong's lips twitched as she said, "How about this? You give me your family's cook..."

Zhou Wanwan chuckled and said, "Dream on, I'm going to see the old man."

She stood up, and Shen Congrong followed suit, saying, "I want to see how you cure illnesses."

Zhou Wanwan waved her hand and said, "I refuse to let anyone watch."

Shen Congrong pouted and said, "Tch, I don't care! You really think you can cure this disease?"

Zhou Wanwan went straight to Old Master Xie Old Master Xie's room. She took his pulse and examined his leg, saying, "There's a possibility of recovery, Grandpa Xie. Why don't you get some sleep?"

Old Master Xie lay down and slowly fell asleep. Zhou Wanwan placed more than a hundred kinds of medicinal herbs on his lap.

Lingbao jumped out and said, "There are over 100 kinds of medicinal herbs here! And they're all from our back mountain. I wonder if they can heal these two legs."

"This leg was broken by the carriage. The wheel hit it just right; the bones weren't completely shattered, and the tendons weren't destroyed. Let me give it a try!"

Zhou Wanwan channeled all her energy into the medicinal herbs, and the energy within them slowly merged into Old Master Xie's legs.

An hour passed before all the medicinal herbs were fully absorbed.

Zhou Wanwan nudged Old Master Xie and said, "Why don't you try moving your leg now?"

Old Master Xie opened his eyes, moved his legs, and said, "Hey! I can really feel my legs now!"

Zhou Wanwan nodded and said, "Then put your leg down and move it around."

Old Master Xie put his legs down, slowly stood up, and said:

"Wow! I can really stand up! I really can stand up! Hahaha!"

Am I dreaming? Waaaaaah...

I feel like I'm dreaming.

Zhou Wanwan smiled and said, "It's not a dream, it's real! You really can stand up again."

Old Master Xie knelt down in the tunnel:

"Wanwan, from now on, I'll do whatever you ask me to do."

You have no idea, but I actually didn't want to live anymore. I felt like there was no hope in this kind of life.

Zhou Wanwan looked at him with a smile and said, "Nothing is better than being alive. You can live for many more decades!"

Old Master Xie slowly walked out of the room. Madam Shen looked at him, crying with excitement, "Father, you're really better! It feels like a dream!"

Shen Congrong cried her heart out.

"Oh my! Father-in-law, is your leg really healed?"

"So if you hit me from now on, can I not run away anymore?"

Old Master Xie laughed heartily, and Shen Yunshu's eyes also reddened. "If people in the capital knew that your leg is completely healed, they'd be scared to death."

Old Master Xie snorted coldly and said:

"I can't be bothered with those kinds of people."

I'm also tired of the court; I might as well stay here and live out my remaining years in peace."

The Shen Clan didn't sleep a wink that night.

Zhou Wanwan, on the other hand, was fast asleep, she was just too tired. She got extremely exhausted after overusing her energy.

The next morning, Nie Shi'an arrived at the manor with his men.

Shen Congrong looked at him and said:

"Nie Shi'an, that's enough. How old is this child? Can you really bear to let her go to jail?"

Besides, what heinous thing did she do?

Nie Shi'an sneered:

"Don't think I don't know, she is the chieftain of Clear Breeze Mountain Stronghold."

Moreover, they spread rumors and misled the public, claiming that one acre of land could produce several thousand kilograms of grain.

Several counties below are now planning to grow sweet potatoes.

Have you ever considered the significant negative impact her words have had?

What if everyone goes to grow sweet potatoes and they can't grow them successfully? What will happen to Dongshan Prefecture?

Can you shoulder this responsibility?

Shen Congrong retorted, "Then tell your subordinates not to plant it! Besides, they're just children; they speak without thinking."

Nie Shi'an glared at him and said:

"I never expected you to say such a thing. This is irresponsible to the people and to Dongshan Prefecture."

If people go hungry in the future, will they all come to your house for a meal?

Shen Congrong was speechless for a moment.

Zhou Wanwan asked excitedly, "When are we leaving? How about now?"

Madam Shen hugged her and said, "Wanwan, he's no good. Eat breakfast first, then we'll talk about it!"

She scooped Zhou Wanwan up and carried her into the military camp, saying:

"You'd better slip out the back door quickly, I've already found a few soldiers."

When the time comes, have them send you back. Hide in the mountains and never come out.
