When Did Zhou Wanwan Become the Grand Princess's Own Granddaughter?

Second sister-in-law Shen Huizhen looked at the eldest princess and said:

"Princess, it's my fault. I was jealous and that's why I gave the child away."

Now that the child has been found, please, have mercy and let me go!

Zhou Wanwan snorted coldly and said, "Let you go? You make it sound so easy. Who will repay my father for all the suffering he's endured over the years?"

Zhou Wanwan looked at the Princess and said:

"Grandma, you have no idea how much my dad has suffered. He even broke his leg when he was young, and those so-called grandparents wouldn't help him get treatment."

Later, he became lame and was laughed at by everyone in the village. I was the one who found a way to cure his leg.

The princess's face was full of heartache. "Your so-called grandparents, are they that Old Madam Zhou?"

Zhou Wanwan nodded and said:

"Isn't it her? She even wanted to sell me to an old bachelor in the village for just a bag of grain. Luckily, my parents protected me."

They kicked us out, and now they're turning around and accusing us of neglecting them. We're so wronged!

The princess's hands were already trembling as she led a group of female officials out.

Zhou Wanwan naturally followed along eagerly.

The eldest princess rushed straight to the banquet. Old Madam Zhou ate with gusto, her mouth greasy with food; she hadn't had such a delicious feast in a long time.

Compared to this banquet, the village's banquets are simply not up to par.

Because of her special status, she was seated alone at a table, which allowed her to enjoy her meal to the fullest.

She was fantasizing about packing up everything on the table after they finished eating.

How could she possibly finish that king crab by herself?

I ate only a little over half of it; I'll pack it up for them to take home later.

Thinking of this, the corners of her mouth turned up.

At that moment, several female officials pinned her to the ground.

Old Madam Zhou looked at them in horror and said, "What are you doing? I am a distinguished guest invited by the Princess, you can't treat me like this."

The female official went up and slapped Old Madam Zhou twice, making her see stars.

The eldest princess looked at her and said, "Ha! How dare you treat my son like this? You're tired of living! Take her away and give her a good beating, twenty strokes of the cane."

Old Madam Zhou pleaded loudly for mercy:

"Your Highness, you can't treat me like this! I don't even know what I did wrong, sob sob sob..."

Did you listen to that brat Zhou Wanwan? That brat is full of tricks, don't trust her!

The eldest princess glared at her and said, "You brat! Scheming and cunning? Do you know who you're talking about? You're talking about my own granddaughter!"

Everyone at the banquet was stunned.

The surrounding ladies exchanged bewildered glances. "What does the Princess mean by that?"

"When did Wanwan become the Princess's granddaughter this Zhou Wanwan? Isn't that like rising to the top in one fell swoop?"

"Zhou Wanwan are really clever!"

Princess Jianing rushed over and said:

"Aunt, I think you've gone senile. You actually got fooled by this brat."

She's a complete fraud, and a ruthless bandit at that! You can't trust her!

The eldest princess looked at Princess Jianing and said, "Send Princess Jianing back to the palace. Next time, remember to be more polite to my granddaughter; she's your cousin."

Princess Jianing rolled her eyes in anger.

This aunt is really getting senile. She's only in her fifties, how come her mind isn't working properly?

I actually got fooled by that brat.

Princess Jianing stared intently at Zhou Wanwan and said, "You just wait and see. I'm going back right now to tell my mother, and see how she deals with you."

After saying that, he turned and left.

The banquet grew increasingly lively, and no one expected something like this to happen.

Old Madam Zhou was no longer in the mood to pack up the food; after 20 lashes, she was left with her skin torn and bleeding.

The eldest princess snorted coldly and said, "Throw her out of the princess's residence."

Old Madam Zhou let out a wail and said:

"Princess, don't listen to her nonsense. She's just a little liar. Why don't you believe her?"

Zhou Wanwan, you're really something! You actually dared to deceive the Eldest Princess.

Zhou Wanwan rolled her eyes and said:

"Old lady, don't call me by my name, I don't know you."

Oh! Thank goodness I'm not Zhou Family, this feels so good! Just don't ever come to our house again, and don't keep bothering us like this."

Upon hearing this, Old Madam Zhou fainted from anger.

Because if this happened, Zhou Fusheng would no longer be Zhou Family, and upon hearing that Zhou Fusheng was the son of the eldest princess, she became even more furious.

How could such a lowly scoundrel be worthy of being the son of the eldest princess?

Old Madam Zhou said loudly:

"Princess, don't listen to this little hussy's nonsense. She stole that jade pendant from my youngest son."

My youngest son is... is your real son!

The eldest princess almost laughed out of anger. She never expected that this Old Madam Zhou would actually make up lies.

The princess looked at the two female officials and said, "Give them a good beating! Teach them a lesson they won't forget."

The two female officials immediately started slapping her, "Slap slap slap slap slap..."

Soon, Old Madam Zhou's face swelled up.

The eldest princess looked down at her and said, "You can even make up such a lie. But my son looks five parts like the prince consort and three parts like me. Do you think I'm blind?"

Zhou Wanwan looked at Zhou Fusheng and the Princess, and they did indeed look somewhat alike.

Liu Su'e pulled Zhou Wanwan and asked, "Wanwan, what's going on? What are they saying?"

Zhou Wanwan patted her hand. "Mother, the Eldest Princess is my father's mother, which means the Eldest Princess is my grandmother."

Liu Su'e was stunned, staring at the Princess, and opened her mouth to say, "You mean your father is the Princess's son? Heavens! This... how is this possible?"

The eldest princess looked at her and smiled, "You're my daughter-in-law, aren't you? Come here."

Liu Su'e slowly walked over, feeling as if she were dreaming.

The eldest princess took out a mutton-fat jade bracelet from her wrist and said, "This is for you. You've worked hard all these years."

Liu Su'e shook her head and said, "It's not hard work, it's not hard work."

The eldest princess looked at them and said, "Why don't you just stay at the princess's residence from now on? That will save you the trouble of traveling back and forth."

Liu Su'e looked at Zhou Wanwan, and Zhou Fusheng also looked at Zhou Wanwan.

Only then did the eldest princess realize that Zhou Wanwan was in charge of their household.

Zhou Wanwan smiled faintly and said:

Let's not do it for now!

I was worried my parents wouldn't be used to it. My home isn't far from here; it only takes the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

The eldest princess nodded, looking at the guests, and said, "Everyone, go home today! I'm happy too, and I wanted the family to spend more time together."

Old Madam Zhou's face looked like a pig's head, and her buttocks were bruised and battered; she was thrown out directly.

She limped home; they had rented a small one-courtyard house in the capital.

As soon as she stepped into the house, Zhou Fu'an looked at her and asked, "Mother, what's wrong?"

Zhou Fukang also came over to help her up, saying, "How did your face get slapped like this? Who hit you? Let's go find him and settle the score right now."

Old Madam Zhou sighed and said, "It's nothing, it's the Eldest Princess."

Zhou Fuyu frowned and said, "The Eldest Princess? Why did the Eldest Princess beat you up like this? Wasn't she supposed to send you to have your fortune told?"
