More Wronged Than Dou E!

Madam Nie sneered, "That had to be the case. If they find out she really is your daughter, I'll take my two sons and go back to my parents' home."

Nie Shi'an quickly nodded and said, "She really isn't my illegitimate daughter, I swear."

But when they pushed open the cell door, the two men were stunned.

Zhou Wanwan reclined on a chaise lounge in the prison, holding half a large watermelon in her arms.

An ice basin sat at my feet, its cool air carrying the aroma of fruit.

The gilded food box was open, overflowing with chilled strawberries, peaches, and peeled lychees.

There was a glass of iced plum juice on the table beside me, and several books next to it.

The two maids each occupied a soft couch in the corner, one reading a storybook and the other eating grapes.

The entire cell had no musty smell at all; instead, it was filled with the aroma of ambergris.

Madam Nie was so angry that her hand trembled, and she slapped Nie Shi'an across the face:

"So you just let her go to jail like this? You really don't respect me anymore. What kind of young lady gets this kind of treatment?"

Even I can't afford such good fruit; it's lychee!

I wanted to eat lychees, but what did you say to me? The price was too high; it was simply impossible.

Lingnan is so far away from here, how come she can eat there?

Madam Nie looked at the cloth on the prison wall and laughed heartily:

"The fabric on this wall is all made of Yun brocade, which is priceless."

Nie Shi'an, you're so good to your daughter!

"Just because I can't give birth to a daughter, you treat me like this, is that it?"

Nie Shi'an almost burst into tears; he was innocent!

He Dou E!

He glared at Zhou Wanwan and said:

"Where did all these things come from? I never had anyone prepare these for you."

Who exactly prepared this for you? Is there a spy in my household?

Zhou Wanwan looked at him and said:

"Daddy, why are you so fierce? Waaah..."

Wanwan is so scared. You weren't like this to me and Mom before.

Didn't you say you'd only love me and Mom in this life? Why has everything changed?

Nie Shi'an roared, "Men, kill her!"

Zhou Wanwan burst into tears.

Didn't you promise to take good care of me?

Didn't you promise my mother that you would leave the Nie Residence's estate to me after your wife died?

Why are you going back on your word now?

Nie Shi'an laughed in extreme anger:

"Fine! You little brat, you actually tried to pull this on me!"

You're deliberately trying to drive a wedge between my wife and me!

Zhou Wanwan looked at him tremblingly, not daring to speak.

Nie Shi'an shouted, "Zhou Wanwan, do you really think I wouldn't dare kill you?"

Zhou Wanwan shuddered and said:

"I was wrong. I'll never call you 'Daddy' again. I... I really know I was wrong."

Why don't you take me home?

Madam Nie sneered:

So that's what you were thinking?

Nie Shi'an, let me tell you, you're dreaming.

All our family's property should go to my two sons; I won't give it to this slut."

Nie Shi'an wiped the sweat from his brow and said, "Madam, why don't you trust me? I've already told you, she's not my daughter."

Madam Nie said calmly, "Since she's not your daughter, then kill her!"

"We mustn't kill her; this girl is no ordinary person."

"Fine, fine, I don't believe you for a second." Madam Nie turned and left in anger.

After she left, Nie Shi'an looked at the things in the cell and said, "Zhou Wanwan, I don't know who arranged all this for you. You'd better behave yourself, or no one can save your life."

Zhou Wanwan made a face at him and said, "Lord Nie, you should mind your own business! I don't need you to worry about me, I'm behaving very well in prison!"

After they all left, the cell became quiet.

Suddenly, a strange laugh came from next door, "Hahaha... You little rascal, you're really something! You actually made Nie Shi'an so angry."

Zhou Wanwan was startled; she didn't know who lived next door.

She frowned and asked, "Who are you?"

The man chuckled and said, "No need to ask my name, I don't remember my surname or given name."

Zhou Wanwan said speechlessly, "Fine!"

The man continued:

"Little girl, you're from out of town, aren't you? Can you tell me about the outside world?"

I haven't been able to contact the outside world for a long time; I've been locked up here for seven years.

Zhou Wanwan sneered, "Why should I tell you what the outside world is like? You haven't even told me who you are!"

The man remained silent for a moment before speaking:

"My name is Xiao Che. Seven years ago, I was secretly summoned to the palace by the emperor and asked to investigate the evidence of the Nie Family's embezzlement, bribery, and misappropriation of money and grain."

I found crucial evidence and was about to return to the capital to report it when the Nie Family imprisoned me in this jail, where I've been for seven years."

Zhou Wanwan raised an eyebrow and said, "Then you're quite pitiful!"

Xiao Che gave a wry smile and said:

"I don't know what the outside world has become, little girl, could you give me a drink of water?"

I haven't eaten anything for a long time.

With a "click," the door to Zhou Wanwan's cell opened. She went to the next cell and saw a dirty and thin man.

He was so thin he was almost unrecognizable, with hardly any flesh on his body, and he was huddled in a corner, barely alive.

Zhou Wanwan frowned and said, "How did you get so thin?"

Xiao Che shook his head slightly and sighed, "Ever since I was locked up here, I've only been given one meal a day. Sometimes they forget to bring it, and then I just go hungry."

Zhou Wanwan spoke calmly:

I can save your life.

But from this day forward, your life belongs to me. Are you willing?

Xiao Che kowtowed and said, "If you are willing to save me, my life will belong to you from now on. I will serve you as my master for the rest of my life and will never have any other thoughts."

Zhou Wanwan took out paper and pen and handed them over. "Words are no proof; you need to sign and put your fingerprint on it."

She now has a penchant for collecting photos of high-ranking officials; she finally understands how this occupational hazard develops.

Xiao Che trembled as he signed the document, saying, "I thought I was going to die here for the rest of my life, but I never thought I would see the light of day again."

Zhou Wanwan reached out and took his pulse, then couldn't help but sigh, "Your health is really poor."

She told Xiao Che to close his eyes and rest for a while. Xiao Che felt his eyelids getting heavier and heavier, and soon he fell asleep.

He was barely clinging to life; his internal organs were severely damaged.

My stomach, in particular, was starving and couldn't eat anything.

Even a miracle doctor couldn't save anyone else.

But Zhou Wanwan is different.

She took out more than fifty kinds of precious medicinal herbs and spread them densely on his body, then used her own strength to send the medicinal power into his body little by little.

Most people can't absorb the nutrients from acupuncture and medication in his body.

But Zhou Wanwan directly infused his flesh and blood with energy and medicinal effects, slowly repairing his damaged internal organs and nourishing his long-neglected stomach.

In just a short while, that gentle force traveled through his entire body, pulling him back from the brink of death.
