Zhou Wanwan, Will You Please Give Me Back Those Betrothal Gifts?
Zhou Wanwan looked at them helplessly and said:
"I cheated? How can you expect me to cheat? Even this estate is yours."
"You guys chose the size first, I didn't even touch the dice cup, how am I supposed to cheat?"
The Old Scholar Tree outside chuckled, "I've seen stupid people, but I've never seen anyone this stupid. Xie Cheng'en suffered a setback at your hands before, but he hasn't learned his lesson."
Cui Hongyuan frightened that his whole body was trembling:
"Zhou Wanwan, you are my concubine, so aren't the profits you make mine?"
Yes, give me back everything you have, and return it all to its owner.
Zhou Wanwan scoffed lightly:
"Right now, it's all your Cui Family talking nonsense. You want me to be your concubine? Do you even deserve it?"
You haven't even looked in the mirror! Look at your donkey face, it's hideous!
Cui Hongyuan shouted loudly:
"Zhou Wanwan, stop messing around!"
This matter is settled. Now the entire Dongshan Prefecture knows that you are going to be my concubine. You'd better be sensible and obey.
Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless.
Zhou Wanwan scoffed, "Cui Hongyuan, you're so cute, so ruthless! Who's afraid of your ruthlessness?"
Zhou Wanwan put all the money away and said:
"Now you all feel better, are you satisfied?"
Oh dear! I only meant to gamble a little, but it turned out to be such a big gamble.
Go home and sleep, go to sleep.
All the young men of the capital collapsed onto their stools, while Xie Yan wept bitterly.
"What do we do now, cousin? Didn't you say Zhou Wanwan wasn't that amazing?"
I've gambled away all my dowry, which included five large estates!
Xie Cheng'en was also on the verge of tears. "How should I know what to do? I need to hurry back and tell Grandpa so he can think of a solution."
Cui Hongyuan of tears.
"The betrothal gifts are to be delivered to the Fang Family tomorrow; my mother spent a long time collecting them."
My wife's family said that whatever the betrothal gifts we give, they will give back double the dowry.
Now look what's happened, everything's gone.
He stumbled out and looked at Zhou Wanwan, saying:
"Zhou Wanwan, can you please return those betrothal gifts to me?"
Otherwise, I really won't be able to explain it tomorrow. I'm sending her to her Fang Family tomorrow, and my wife will give me double the money.
"When I get double, I'll give you this one too, okay?"
Zhou Wanwan chuckled and said, "No, a scumbag like you shouldn't hurt other girls."
Cui Hongyuan angry that he pounded his chest and stamped his feet.
Zhou Wanwan slept quite soundly that night, but she couldn't sleep soundly the next day.
Madam Cui the Younger led dozens of people to block her door.
She shouted:
"Zhou Wanwan, you actually took my son's betrothal gifts! Are you crazy?"
Are you perhaps planning to marry into the Cui Family?
"Let me tell you, a lowly bitch like you dares to dream of entering the Cui Family? Don't even think about it."
Zhou Wanwan was sleeping soundly when she was woken up.
She rubbed her eyes and said, "Is this ever going to end? I'm speechless. Her son lost the betrothal gifts, what does it have to do with me?"
Zheng Xing'an helped Zhou Wanwan get dressed and gently coaxed her, "She's making a lot of noise outside, it's not a good thing, the master and madam are worried sick."
Zhou Wanwan said helplessly, "Alright! Let's go out then!"
The Old Scholar Tree handed Zhou Wanwan a stack of papers, saying, "Take this."
As soon as Zhou Wanwan stepped outside, she saw Madam Cui the Younger leading dozens of people, saying, "Bring Zhou Wanwan out here! She's just one of my concubines, how dare she be so arrogant!"
As Zhou Wanwan walked out, she heard Madam Cui the Younger say arrogantly, "Zhou Wanwan, you peasant, you want to be the legal wife? Give me back our betrothal gifts!"
People around pointed and whispered, "Has this child gone mad? He actually brought back all eighty-eight taels of betrothal gifts! How dare he do that?"
"That's disgusting! They've painstakingly saved up for over a decade for this dowry, it's worth several million taels!"
"No way? How can this child be so bold? But how did he get the betrothal gifts?"
Madam Nie said, "Of course she stole it. How could your whole family do such a thing? A house full of thieves!"
Liu Su'e's eyes reddened. "Nonsense, we never steal anything."
Zhou Fusheng nodded and said, "The betrothal gifts weren't stolen."
Madam Nie snorted coldly and said, "Your whole family is a den of thieves. A bandit is a bandit; you can't change your nature."
Everyone around was startled.
"This whole family are bandits? That's terrifying!"
They live next door to us now, what if they try to harm us?
"We need to drive them away, otherwise it's too dangerous."
"Get back to your Black Mountain Stronghold right now! The thought of those bandits living next door terrifies me."
Zhou Wanwan looked at them and said:
"If you're scared, then move out right now!"
And Madam Cui, Madam Nie, if you say I'm a thief, you need evidence."
Madam Cui pointed at her and said, "You want evidence? What kind of evidence do you want?"
Seeing that everyone had finished discussing it, Zhou Wanwan took out a stack of papers and said:
"Look at the signatures and fingerprints on this; they were all left by Cui Hongyuan."
Last night, he lost his betrothal gifts to me. This is the proof, everyone take a good look!
Zhou Wanwan printed several hundred copies last night, and everyone who sees them gets a copy.
She distributed some to her subordinates, saying:
"Help me go to the city and distribute them everywhere."
This needs to be known to everyone in the city, otherwise people will really think I'm a thief!
I was sleeping peacefully at home, and when I woke up, I found myself transformed into a thief! It's hilarious!
Madam Cui's face turned green as she looked at the contract:
"This... this must be fake. My Hongyuan been well-behaved since he was little."
I was studying at the academy all day yesterday, how could I possibly be gambling?
What methods did you use to force him to write this contract?
Zhou Wanwan looked at her and said:
"Madam Cui, if you don't believe me, then go and ask around."
There were many people at the Lingyun Pavilion last night; I can't possibly silence everyone."
Madam Cui nearly fainted, but luckily her maid supported her. She shouted, "Let's go back now! I'll go back right now and ask him what he did!"
Standing beside her was Zhao Wanting, Madam Cui's future daughter-in-law, who looked at Zhou Wanwan with a smile and said:
I heard the Cui Family wants to take you as a concubine. I think you're quite good.
"If Miss Zhou is willing, I can help you."
Zhou Wanwan smiled faintly and said:
"Don't bother worrying about it. It's not even certain whether you can marry into the Cui Family!"
But I think you and Cui Hongyuan are quite a good match; you're both a bit out of your minds.
Would she really marry a man like that?
Zhou Wanwan initially thought she had done a good deed, but now it seems she was overthinking it.
However, Zhao Wanting Wanting's willingness to marry had absolutely nothing to do with her.
