Originally, according to Madam Lu and Lu Xuening's plan, they just wanted to find a man here to take over their relationship.

After all, if they went to the capital and were recognized, it would be a very troublesome matter.

However, after Madam Lu brought Lu Xuening back to the Lu Family, many more changes occurred.

Just then, the palace issued an imperial decree that all daughters of officials of the fourth rank or above, aged between ten and eighteen, must register to participate in the selection process and be sent to the palace for consideration.

The Lu Family has several eligible men, but those men would only be cannon fodder if they went to the palace, so it's naturally not feasible.

Lord Lu was naturally intrigued by Madam Lu's appearance. Madam Lu's current appearance was simply stunning; if she went to the palace, wouldn't she outshine all the beauties there?

After considering all the options, Lu Zhiwei was chosen.

Lu Yao was after the Nie Family's money. The Nie Family was wealthy and powerful in Jiangnan. Shen Yunshu was too stupid. Lu Yao and Lu Zhiwei together and came up with this plan.

Zhou Wanwan looked at the mother and son and almost died laughing. How could something so funny happen?

However, she was unwilling to expose it; she wouldn't get involved in things that didn't concern her!

However, Lu Zhiwei and Lu Yao hated her to the core. Lu Yao squinted at Zhou Wanwan and said, "Wanwan, you're doing quite well here. It won't be long before I come to the Nie Residence to keep you company!"

Zhou Wanwan said innocently, "Sister Lu, you'd better hurry up and come! This Nie Residence is so boring."

Yes, it will.

Soon everyone dispersed. After seeing everyone off, Madam Nie looked at Zhou Wanwan and said, "Zhou Wanwan, come with me."

Zhou Wanwan obediently followed Madam Nie into the house. Madam Nie closed the door and looked at her, saying:

"Zhou Wanwan, I don't care if you're Nie Shi'an's illegitimate daughter or not, you better behave yourself in the Nie Residence."

I won't make things too difficult for you, but if you go too far, don't blame me for being ruthless.

Get out of here!

Zhou Wanwan looked at her and asked, "Where am I living now? Or am I still in prison?"

Madam Nie sneered, "Go to the backyard, and get down there quickly."

Zhou Wanwan swaggered away.

Madam Nie was so angry her chest ached. "How can this brat be so annoying?"

The old nanny beside her said, "Madam, since she's so annoying, why do you still let her live in the inner courtyard?"

Madam Nie said helplessly:

"Now so many eyes are on our Nie Family."

"If we keep her in prison, wouldn't people laugh at the Nie Family for lacking magnanimity?"

The old woman beside him quickly nodded and said, "You've thought things through very well. So, how should we treat her now?"

Madam Nie gritted her teeth and said:

"Let's release dozens of poisonous snakes into her room today and have them bite her to death."

No, no, no, I don't think that's enough venomous snakes. Let's find some scorpions, centipedes, and the like, and put them in together."

The old woman smiled sinisterly and said, "Understood."

Zhou Wanwan never expected that Madam Nie would try to kill her. That night, she saw more than a hundred venomous snakes swimming in.

There were also scorpions and centipedes. Zhou Wanwan propped her head up and looked at these venomous creatures, saying, "Ugh! How boring. Are you trying to scare me with these things?"

The poisonous creatures all stood there obediently, without moving an inch.

Zhou Wanwan raised an eyebrow and said:

"It seems Madam Nie has too much free time. Uncle Scholar Tree, let's just empty her house!"

Then put her in that dark room and locked her up.

The Nie Family is quite wealthy; they didn't seem to care at all when their previous house was taken away.

"Put Nie Shi'an in too; that couple is just as annoying."

The Old Scholar Tree quickly took care of it; several thousand trees were moved overnight, and the place was completely cleaned up.

Even in the room where Zhou Wanwan lived, only a bed and a quilt remained; everything else had been moved out.

Nie Shi'an felt something crawling on his face. He opened his eyes and said, "What is that thing? It's crawling all over me, and it's so sticky!"

He held it in his hand, looked around, and said, "Why is it so dark? Is anyone there?"

Madam Nie opened her eyes and said, "It's not even dawn yet! Let's sleep a little longer!"

Nie Shi'an frowned and said, "I have a feeling something's not right. Is this... is this our room?"

Madam Nie sat up and said:

"Nie Shi'an, what are you thinking about all day long?"

I hosted a banquet for guests yesterday, and I was exhausted after a long day, so I thought I'd take a nap today.

You just had to wake me up, you... ah... what's this?

"Quack quack quack..."

Madam Nie shrieked, "What is that sound? It sounds like a frog!"

The two quickly got up and managed to light the candles, then huddled together in fear.

Madam Nie said in a trembling voice:

"Ah... what are all these? Poisonous snakes, toads, frogs, centipedes, scorpions, and rats, waaaah..."

Help! Someone please save us!

Nie Shi'an, clinging to the bedpost, cried out, "Who threw us into this Little Black? Help! Help!"

Unfortunately, everyone's asleep at this hour; who's going to care about them?

The two kept calling for help until the Nie Family servants woke up in the morning and discovered that the house was gone.

Nie Feng was sound asleep, embracing a concubine, when he was woken up. He couldn't help but complain loudly, "What's all the noise about? It's driving me crazy! If you keep making that noise, do you believe I'll beat you to death?"

The servant boy beside him replied, "Young master, something terrible has happened! Master, the madam is missing, and our family is gone too!"

Nie Feng burrowed deeper into the blankets and said:

"Disappeared? Then go look for them! Where could they have gone? Maybe they went to play at the village."

What do you mean, "your house is missing"? That's nonsense.

The servant looked at him and said, "Open your eyes and look carefully! Our house is really gone; even your room has been moved."

When Nie Feng opened his eyes, he found that his bed had been moved next to the outhouse.

No wonder he thought it stank horribly. He jumped up and shouted, "Who moved my house? What lunatic did that? Go find them right now! Where are my parents?"

I searched everywhere, but I couldn't find them.

Zhou Wanwan looked at them and said:

"Oh dear! We've been searching for an hour already, where could they have gone?"

I've thought of a place—could they have locked me in my darkroom before?

I don't know if that place has been moved.

Nie Feng glared at her and said, "You jinx! Ever since you came to the Nie Family Nie Family, something's been wrong every day. Someone, go and search the secret room."

Sure enough, a short while later, Madam Nie and Nie Shi'an were seen being helped back.

Madam Nie trembled with fear, Nie Shi'an, his face deathly pale, said, "Guards, investigate! I refuse to believe we can't find out!"

Madam Nie looked at Zhou Wanwan and said, "Did you do this? Did you bring people here?"

Zhou Wanwan looked at her and said:

"Madam Nie, you need evidence to support your claims. I opened my eyes this morning and found the house was gone."

I really want to ask you, who did your family offend? Why does it always turn out like this?

All my gold and silver jewelry is gone, and I'm going to settle the score with you!

Did you do this on purpose to embezzle my gold and silver treasures?
