Your Whole Family Has Something Wrong with Their Heads

Madam Nie scoffed and said:

"My Nie Feng is many times better than Zhou Qingchen. Nie Feng has been exceptionally talented since childhood, and he will definitely make a name for himself sooner or later."

This poor kid, I have no idea where he came from.

I don't know what kind of taste you have. Trying to make any random beggar your in-law; it's laughable.

Madam Nie's words became increasingly harsh.

Madam Shen laughed and said, "I wonder what kind of talent you have? When it comes to bullying others, all the young men of Jiangnan would have to admit defeat."

Madam Nie choked, and said angrily:

"Fine, you win. I'd like to see just how far this impoverished scion can go."

My son Nie Feng passed the imperial examination and became a Xiucai (a scholar who passed the lowest level of the imperial examinations). His teacher said he is intelligent and has a bright future.

Hmph! Your Shen Clan will regret this someday.

Nie Shi'an looked at Shen Congrong indifferently and said, "Shen Congrong, is there something wrong with your wife's head?"

Shen Congrong glared at him and said:

"Nie Shi'an, your wife is the one with a problem in her head, your whole family has a problem in their heads."

Your worthless son doesn't even deserve to marry my Yunshu! Dream on!

My Yunshu, if she's going to marry, she'll marry the best.

Nie Shi'an pointed at Zhou Qingchen and said, "This is what you call the best?"

Zhou Qingchen smiled faintly and said:

"Although I am not the richest, I will definitely treat Shen Yunshu well."

I swear, I will never take a concubine, and Yunshu will be my only one for the rest of my life.

In fact, the Zhou Family brothers were all more or less influenced by Zhou Wanwan, and felt that it was perfectly normal to marry someone like her in this lifetime.

Nie Shi'an chuckled and said, "You talk a good game, but how many people can actually do it?"

Shen Congrong looked at him and said:

"I did it! My wife is the only one in my life, and I think it's great."

Aren't you the same? Oh... wait, you had a mistress before, and she was murdered."

Nie Shi'an's smile vanished; Shen Congrong knew exactly how to pierce his heart.

Shen Congrong looked at Zhou Qingchen and said, "Good lad, you've got a pretty good physique! You know kung fu?"

Zhou Qingchen nodded and said, "I know a little."

Nie Feng sneered from the side:

"What a load of bull! Someone like you, knowing kung fu?"

You boast about everything! One minute you're talking about martial arts, the next you're talking about playing football. Why don't you just say you can do everything?

Several young men chimed in, "Doesn't he know a lot? Let's see who's better!"

Zhou Qingchen smiled faintly and said, "No, it's pointless to compete."

Actually, there's no benefit to winning, and he's unwilling to accept that.

Nie Feng continued to fan the flames, saying, "It seems you're still incompetent; naturally you wouldn't dare to compete, you useless coward."

Zhou Wanwan chuckled and said, "What's the point of comparing myself to you? Besides wasting energy, I get nothing."

Nie Feng laughed, "So this guy is short-sighted; he won't compete unless there's a reward!"

Madam Nie glanced at Zhou Qingchen disdainfully and said, "It's just a prize! Go to my storeroom and fetch that red gold phoenix hairpin inlaid with pearls."

Madam Nie looked at Madam Shen with a hint of provocation and said:

"Since my Nie Family has offered such a generous gift as a prize, if my son Nie Feng wins the competition today, then..."

What do you plan to offer in return?

Just as Madam Shen was about to speak, Zhou Wanwan said, "It's alright, it's alright. I'll pay the prize money for my brother's competition with them."

Madam Nie laughed heartily, "What could a little girl like you from some backwater possibly have to offer?"

Zhou Wanwan smiled faintly and said, "Just pick one!"

Zheng Xing'an stepped forward, and with a flick of her slender hand, a short dagger appeared in her grasp.

The moment the dagger was drawn, a cold light flashed, its sharpness so chilling it made one's heart tighten; it was clearly a peerless weapon capable of cutting through iron like mud.

The young noble families present were initially shocked, then erupted in an uproar. "That... that's... the Sky-Splitting Dagger!"

"It's the legendary Sky-Splitting Dagger! It's said that this dagger is extremely sharp, capable of slicing through metal and stone."

"They're even using treasures of this caliber as prizes... Just who are they?"

"I didn't expect it to be the Sky-Splitting Dagger right off the bat. I originally wanted to bid on this dagger at the last auction."

Do you know how much the asking price was? It actually reached five thousand taels of gold!

"What? Five thousand taels of gold? That's an astronomical price!"

Zhou Wanwan asked softly:

"What Sky-Splitting Dagger? I've never heard of it before."

"Isn't this something we just casually made in our mountain stronghold?"

Zheng Xing'an explained softly:

"The daggers we have at home are all ones that you can't buy on the market."

These short daggers, they call them "Sky-Splitting Dagger," are very valuable.

Madam Nie scoffed coldly, "I wonder where they picked them up from. Alright, shall we begin? How do you plan to compete?"

Nie Feng looked at them and said, "How about we compete in kung fu, football, or archery?"

Zhou Qingchen smiled and said, "Anything is fine! We country folk don't know much anyway, so we'll do whatever you say."

Nie Feng looked at him disdainfully and said, "Since there are four of you, then we'll arrange for four people as well. Let's begin!"

Zhou Wanwan was enthusiastically eating melon next to her, while Shen Yunshu was extremely anxious.

"Wanwan, is your brother okay?"

Judging from how frail your brothers are, they're probably no match for Nie Feng.

Nie Feng learned martial arts from a young age and became extremely skilled.

And his men are no pushovers either.

These older brothers are so frail, how could they possibly be a match for them?

Zhou Wanwan said with a grin, "Oh! It's okay, losing is losing!"

Shen Yunshu sighed:

"That's the Sky-Splitting Dagger! This dagger is priceless."

My dad wanted to buy me a self-defense weapon before, but he couldn't find one! How come you...?"

Zhou Wanwan pulled out a dagger from her person and said, "Hey! You didn't even tell me you liked this thing! Here, take this one."

This dagger is much better than the previous one; it's completely studded with all sorts of gems.

Shen Yunshu was dumbfounded. "Where... where did you get all this?"

Zhou Wanwan smiled faintly and said, "I have plenty at home, you don't need to be so polite with me."

"A lot???" Shen Yunshu was completely dumbfounded.

Zhou Wanwan ate sunflower seeds while drinking milk tea and said:

"This milk tea doesn't taste authentic; it's nothing like the delicious milk tea my family makes."

The sweet soup tastes good, but it's a bit too sweet; it's cloying.

Madam Nie glared at her and said, "You should be grateful to have anything to eat, why are you being so picky?"

Zhou Wanwan made a face at her and said, "Mommy, I was wrong, please don't be angry!"

Madam Nie's face turned green:

"Who's your mother? Do you have a habit of casually calling someone 'father' or 'mother'?"

You are not Nie Shi'an's illegitimate daughter at all; don't try to claim any connection.
