I Will Stand Up for You

Zhou Wanwan Spring and Autumn Annals genuinely angry. "Do you think you can exploit me? Keep dreaming!"

After saying that, he turned around and went back to his room.

She's in business, not charity.

Madam Nie said angrily:

"Bring her out here and let her stay in our house. She's gone too far! She's really out of control!"

I've never seen such an ill-mannered child. Find some strict discipline mothers and let them teach him a lesson.

A group of people rushed into Zhou Wanwan's room, but soon they all returned with bruises and swelling on their faces.

Madam Nie angrily cursed, "A bunch of useless trash! Go find some decent people, people who know kung fu!"

Madam Nie immediately hired more than twenty people who knew martial arts, fully expecting that Zhou Wanwan must have suffered a great deal.

The next day, Zhou Wanwan greeted her with great enthusiasm, "Good morning, Madam Nie! Did you sleep well last night?"

Madam Nie looked at Zhou Wanwan with a face full of horror and said, "How could you be unharmed? Last night you were clearly..."

She coughed. Last night, she had gathered more than 20 skilled men to teach Zhou Wanwan lesson.

Unexpectedly, those 20-plus people simply vanished.

That's terrifying! That's so eerie!

Nie Shi'an looked at Zhou Wanwan and asked, "What did you do to those people?"

Zhou Wanwan looked at him and said, "What is Lord Nie saying? I don't understand."

Nie Shi'an finally realized that Zhou Wanwan was acting strangely. He looked at Zhou Wanwan and said, "Hand over those 20 people today. If you don't, don't blame me for being impolite."

Zhou Wanwan smiled faintly and said, "Lord Nie, you're quite the show-off! I haven't done anything, and you're already threatening me..."

Before Nie Shi'an could speak, he heard Prince Rui's voice:

"I never expected Lord Nie to be so bold as to threaten a little girl."

Zhou Wanwan has suffered a lot of grievances while staying at your residence.

Looking at Prince Rui behind him, Nie Shi'an quickly kowtowed and said, "Your Highness Prince Rui, you don't know Zhou Wanwan..."

Zhou Wanwan looked at him with red eyes and said:

"Lord Nie, then tell me what heinous things I did yesterday?"

You came to threaten me first thing this morning.

Nie Shi'an looked at her and said, "More than 20 people went to your room yesterday, but they all disappeared. I'm here to ask if there's a problem?"

Zhou Wanwan looked at him and said, "Why did those 20-odd people come to my room? I really don't understand. Did you intend to kill them to silence them?"

Prince Rui said with a cold face, "Lord Nie, explain yourself properly, what exactly happened?"

Nie Shi'an was covered in cold sweat. He couldn't very well say that he sent more than 20 people to kill Zhou Wanwan because his wife disliked her, could he?

Zhou Wanwan said with red eyes:

"I think I'm pretty unlucky. I learned that a crop could yield two to three thousand catties per mu, and then I shared it with everyone."

As a result, Lord Nie arrested me and imprisoned me, accusing me of spreading heresy and misleading the public.

Prince Rui looked at Nie Shi'an and said, "Such a thing actually happened?"

Nie Shi'an quickly reported:

"No, that's not true. I just wanted Zhou Wanwan to come over as a guest."

Then, while we're at it, let's investigate whether this crop can yield two to three thousand catties per mu.

It was definitely not imprisoning her.

Zhou Wanwan looked at him and said, "Once I came to your house, I became your granddaughter's servant, and I can't go anywhere. Isn't that imprisoning me?"

Prince Rui sneered:

"I never imagined that the Provincial Surveillance Commissioner of Dongshan Prefecture had such great power, able to arrest people at will."

Moreover, to imprison someone arbitrarily without even determining the nature of the matter—is this Lord Nie's rule?

Nie Shi'an knelt down and said, "Your Highness, please calm down. I only wanted to invite Zhou Wanwan to visit. My wife treats Zhou Wanwan very well."

Prince Rui looked at him and said, "So you're here as a guest? Then you should act like a guest. You'd better treat Zhou Wanwan well."

"Yes, yes, we will definitely treat Zhou Wanwan well."

Prince Rui looked at Zhou Wanwan and said:

"Don't worry, Miss Zhou, I will back you up. If you have any problems, just come to me directly."

I have high hopes for you! You're a first-rate businesswoman, and I've heard you're even a scholar. Your future is limitless!

Zhou Wanwan looked at Prince Rui and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Prince Rui."

To be honest, she thought Prince Rui was quite nice.

However, according to the messages relayed by those trees, his birth mother was originally just an insignificant palace maid with a very low social status and no status in the palace, nor was she favored by the emperor.

After he was born, the mother and son lived a very stifling life in the palace. When he grew up, they were sent far away to their fiefdom, where they were left with no one to rely on.

However, the money he had wasn't all from his salary from the imperial court; it was money he had secretly saved by doing business in his fiefdom.

Fortunately, he was honest and managed his fiefdom well, which is how he accumulated this wealth. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to afford so much money to buy flowers and plants and book banquets.

He treated his queen very well; he was a man of great affection and loyalty.

The princess's family was quite wealthy, and she brought a generous dowry. She also quietly supported him throughout.

However, the princess is now pregnant, but her health has not been good, and the pregnancy is unstable. She has been taking medicine for a long time, but there has been no improvement. Prince Rui is very worried about this.

Prince Rui looked at Zhou Wanwan and said:

I saw you had a lot of medicinal herbs here yesterday, so I thought I'd take some.

My princess's pregnancy is unstable; I need to be able to treat her promptly should anything happen.

Zhou Wanwan looked at Prince Rui and asked, "What kind of medicinal herbs do you want?"

Prince Rui looked at her and said:

"I don't know what kind of medicine she needs, I just thought it would be better to be prepared, since my wife has never been healthy since childhood."

I'm just afraid something might happen to her...

Zhou Wanwan looked at Prince Rui, "If you don't mind the trouble, I can take your princess's pulse."

Prince Rui looked at Zhou Wanwan and said, "You also know medicine?"

Zhou Wanwan nodded. "Yes, I know a little bit."

Prince Rui took Zhou Wanwan directly to his courtyard. Zhou Wanwan was surprised that Prince Rui Prince Rui's Consort along.

Prince Rui's Consort was just an ordinary girl. She looked at Zhou Wanwan curiously and said, "Are you the child Prince Rui mentioned? You look so young!"

Zhou Wanwan smiled and said, "Prince Rui's Consort, I'm here to treat your illness."

Prince Rui's Consort smiled faintly and said:

"Your Prince Rui, how could you send a child like me to treat my illness?"

It's okay, you can chat with me for a while.

Zhou Wanwan looked at her and said:

"Rest assured, my medical skills are excellent. The princess is not suffering from a weak pregnancy; she has been poisoned by a chronic poison."

The poison doesn't kill, but it gradually weakens the mother's body, making the fetus unstable.

Prince Rui's face turned deathly pale:

What did you say? Poisoning? Impossible!

The Prince Rui is heavily guarded, staffed with trusted confidants. How could anyone dare to harm the Princess Consort?
