Easy to Invite a God, Hard to Send One Away

Zhou Wanwan placed all the jewelry she won yesterday in the yard.

Nie Shi'an looked at Zhou Wanwan and said, "How could a mere girl cause such a commotion? We're probably being watched."

Zhou Wanwan looked at them and said, "I'm hungry. I haven't had a proper meal since I came to your house, except for yesterday. I want to eat breakfast."

Madam Nie glared at her and said, "Eat... eat my ass! What time is it? Still eating? Go back to your room!"

Zhou Wanwan looked at her room and said, "There's only one bed left in my room, why are you telling me to go back?"

Madam Nie looked at Nie Shi'an and asked, "What do we do now?"

Nie Shi'an thought for a moment and said:

"Let's find a small house to live in first, and then I'll think about what to do. I'm afraid these thieves have their eyes on our house."

Let's not bring anything valuable.

Madam Nie nodded helplessly. Soon, they arrived at a three-courtyard house, which was quite ordinary.

Zhou Wanwan was thrown into a room at the back of the house. The room was empty and covered in dust.

Zhou Wanwan looked at the house and said, "The Nie Family is really shameless to leave me here. The longer I live here, the poorer I become. What are we going to do in the future?"

Madam Nie looked at the house with disdain in her eyes. "You want me to live in a house like this? If people find out, they'll laugh themselves to death!"

Nie Shi'an sighed and said:

I don't know if it's funny or not, but if we lived in a nicer house, we'd probably have to move out too.

I don't know how long this will continue.

Looking at the shabby house, Madam Nie said, "I don't care, I don't want to live here forever. You'd better think of a solution quickly!"

Nie Shi'an went to see the prefect. He looked at Prefect Fang and said, "Lord Fang, you know that such a big thing has happened in my prefecture. You should know who did it, right?"

Prefect Fang coughed and said:

"Well, I really don't know about this, Lord Nie. You know I'm incredibly busy every day, how could I possibly be involved in something like this?"

What's more, now that the drought has struck, look how hot it is getting day by day, and people are struggling to get enough to eat.

I'm just as anxious as an ant on a hot pan right now. Why don't you ask someone else for help?

Nie Shi'an sneered, "I didn't expect Dongshan Prefecture to be like this. I will definitely write a report about what happened here and submit it to the imperial court."

Prefect Fang looked at him and said:

"If you want to report this to the imperial court, then go ahead and do it! There's nothing we can do about it anyway."

Why does that person only steal from yours and not from others?

You should also think carefully about whether you've offended anyone.

Nie Shi'an looked at him and said, "Lord Fang, are you saying that I brought this on myself?"

Prefect Fang sighed and looked at him, saying:

"I've said it before, there are some people you can mess with, and some people you can't."

Lord Nie, I find this matter very strange. Why don't you release Zhou Wanwan?

Nie Shi'an slammed his fist on the table in anger. "What does this have to do with Zhou Wanwan? What nonsense are you spouting?"

Prefect Fang was quite desperate. Where did this person come from? How could someone like this become an official?

He made himself so clear, practically pointing at Zhou Wanwan and saying that she was the one who did all these things, so why couldn't she understand?

Prefect Fang shook his head helplessly and said:

"I've only heard that Zhou Wanwan is a jinx; wherever she goes, things don't Taiping."

Perhaps if you let her go, this matter will be over.

Nie Shi'an looked at Prefect Fang and said:

"What is your relationship with this child? Is she perhaps your illegitimate daughter?"

What exactly are you trying to achieve by repeatedly protecting her?

You people from Dongshan Prefecture are really something else! The house is gone, and you don't send anyone to look for it? Don't you send anyone to investigate?

You're blaming Zhou Wanwan for everything, you just want to say she's a jinx, ha! Ridiculous! Utterly laughable."

Prefect Fang is going crazy!

He used both explicit and implicit methods; his words were so obvious, yet Nie Shi'an still couldn't understand.

He declared, with no other option but to burn his bridges:

"I think Zhou Wanwan was the one who did this."

Lord Nie, it's easy to invite a god in, but hard to send him away. Why don't you just let Zhou Wanwan go?

Prefect Fang was helpless, since Lord Nie had caused trouble on his territory.

Nie Shi'an sneered:

"I've seen it all now; Dongshan Prefecture truly has a wealth of talented people!"

Since they couldn't find the thieves, they pinned the blame on a little girl.

You guys pulled off that trick pretty well!

Prefect Fang:...

Nie Shi'an turned and left immediately, much to the anger of Prefect Fang:

"This Nie Shi'an is simply unable to understand human language. If you tell him the truth, he thinks it's a lie."

When I told him it was a lie, he thought it was true.

Cheng Xiao came out and said, "This Nie Shi'an is really a weirdo, his thought process is so peculiar."

Prefect Fang scoffed coldly:

"He's arrogant and thinks he's so great, he never listens to anyone else."

Forget it, forget it. I've already warned him anyway. This Zhou Wanwan is more than just a jinx! She's a jinx! A demon!

"Look at our two sons, look what she's done to them!"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Xiao became even angrier:

"My Cheng Chao used to be so well-behaved! He's a bit chubby, but he was always so obedient!"

Now look what's happened, he's completely Zhou Wanwan's little follower, I think he's mistaken his mother for someone else."

Prefect Fang laughed heartily, "No, no, he's just naive now, thinking he can make money by following Zhou Wanwan."

He spotted Fang Zhiyuan's figure and quickly waved, calling out, "Fang Zhiyuan, where are you going?"

Fang Zhiyuan looked at him and said:

"I'm going to find Gu Sinian, Dad. Let me tell you, Gu Sinian is truly amazing. I've never seen such a remarkable person before."

Do you believe it or not? Give him a few years, and he can become the top scholar in the imperial examination.

Prefect Fang was so angry that he burst into curses:

"I don't believe you! You're the prefect's son, your future is much brighter than his, why would you need to fawn over him?"

Shouldn't he be the one showering you with attention? Don't you think you're being too eager?

You have no idea that I've become a complete joke.

Fang Zhiyuan looked at him and said, "Dad, who would dare to laugh at you? Uncle Cheng would never laugh at you."

Cheng Xiao covered her face and said helplessly:

"Yes, I would never laugh at myself; I'm a joke myself!"

I just don't understand why you're all acting like crazy?

You're Gu Sinian's simp, and Cheng Chao is Zhou Wanwan's simp. Were you both drugged?

Fang Zhiyuan looked at them and said:

"Actually, I don't quite understand either. What are you thinking?"

Gu Sinian and Zhou Wanwan are both very capable people.

Prefect Fang took a deep breath and looked at him, saying:

"They are a gang of bandits, committing all sorts of evil deeds and killing people without hesitation."

We just can't do anything about them right now. It's not that we haven't tried fighting Black Wind Stronghold, it's just that Black Wind Stronghold is really something else these days.

They couldn't even defeat the subordinates of several great generals, and one of the generals even defected to Black Wind Stronghold.

Otherwise, do you think I would be so polite to them?
