Wasn't This Fate?

Zhao Kun was quickly taken home; he was in so much pain he was convulsing.

Soon, the doctors from the manor arrived. Several doctors examined Zhao Kun for a long time, but all of them shook their heads.

"It seems like this leg can't be saved."

Zhao Kun roared, "Impossible! That bitch, I'm going to kill her! Go and bring her back right now!"

Dozens of servants rushed into the courtyard where Jiang Yunyao lived.

Jiang Yunyao and Zhou Wanwan were taken directly to the Zhao Family.

Zhou Wanwan had no intention of returning to the Qin Clan Qin Clan; she was simply tired of staying there.

Moreover, now that she has taken out the Qin Clan's military seal, the Qin Clan can no longer cause any trouble.

The situation with the Zhao Family was quite interesting. When the Zhao Family family members arrived and saw Zhou Wanwan, they said, "You two actually dared to hurt Fifth Master."

They were taken directly to the Zhao residence, which was not Zhao Lili's home, but the home of Zhao Mingzhu and Zhao Yuzhu.

Zhou Wanwan looked at the house and said, "Is this house of your Zhao Family newly built?"

The Zhao Family family steward said with a smug look on his face:

"Of course, it cost us 150,000 taels!"

They hired the best craftsmen and used the finest building materials to build it.

Zhou Wanwan looked at the house; it looked familiar, all too familiar.

Isn't this what they made?

The Old Scholar Tree next to it said:

"The unified decoration style of our house is to make it easier and more convenient to move back to this house."

I never expected that the Zhao Family, whom we moved once before, would now hire our craftsmen.

Isn't this just fate?

Zhou Wanwan nodded in agreement.

They were taken directly to Zhao Kun's room. Zhao Kun lay on the bed, glaring coldly at them, and said, "You two have quite the nerve, daring to come here."

Zhou Wanwan grinned and said, "Ouch! Brother Kun, can't you move your leg?"

Zhao Kun gritted his teeth and said, "Men, break their legs!"

A dozen or so men walked up to them, holding sticks. Jiang Yunyao lunged at Zhou Wanwan and asked, "What do you want?"

"Of course, I'll break your legs. You had my legs broken, so you'll have to pay the price."

Beat them! Beat them hard!

He had barely finished speaking when he let out a bloodcurdling scream.

Originally, his left leg was broken, but now his right leg has also broken with a "crack".

Zhou Wanwan smiled and said, "Brother Kun, how does it feel? Pretty refreshing, right?"

Zhao Kun screamed repeatedly. Soon, several doctors filed in. After examining his leg, they all shook their heads and said, "His right leg is broken too. It can't be cured. Fifth Master, who exactly have you offended?"

Zhao Kun was in despair. "I'm just lying at home, what kind of people can I possibly offend?"

He saw Zhou Wanwan and Jiang Yunyao and said, "It's you two? How did you manage to do that?"

Zhou Wanwan chuckled and said:

"That's how you did it! Zhao Kun, don't mess with me again."

I'm really scared. You still have two hands. What if those hands are also broken?

Zhao Kun gritted his teeth and said, "I don't believe it! Take their legs..."

"Crack..." Before Zhao Kun could finish speaking, his thumb was broken off.

I was in so much pain that I was rolling around on the bed.

"Ah... I was wrong, I was wrong, my Little Ancestor, my Little Ancestor!"

I'll never do it again, please forgive me!

Zhou Wanwan looked at him and said, "My Little Ancestor is hungry."

Zhao Kun shouted, "Someone, bring her the food, the best food!"

Zhou Wanwan sat down at the table with satisfaction, and soon, the kitchen brought out more than a dozen dishes.

The Zhao Family family is now of a much higher social standing than the Qin Clan.

Rock sugar stewed bird's nest, roast duck, cherry pork, braised pork knuckle, steamed yellow croaker, stir-fried shrimp, chicken with mushrooms, crystal meatballs, braised duck kidneys, candied fruit, milk buns, bird's nest soup...

While eating, Zhou Wanwan said, "Zhao Kun, your Zhao Family's dishes are quite good! Much better than the Qin Clan's dishes."

Zhao Kun was in so much pain that his forehead was covered in sweat, and he couldn't care less about what this Little Ancestor was saying.

Zhou Wanwan finished eating and drinking, she looked at Zhao Kun and asked, "Where am I going to stay tonight? You're not going to make me stay in the woodshed, are you?"

Zhao Kun wiped the sweat from his brow and said, "Clean up the room next door and let her stay there."

Zhou Wanwan and Jiang Yunyao were taken to the next room. Jiang Yunyao said softly, "Would Zhao Kun be so kind as to let us stay here?"

Zhou Wanwan chuckled and said:

"They certainly wouldn't be that kind, but it's okay, we'll just stay here."

Anyway, I'm quite comfortable wherever I live; the environment is always the same.

Look at this little courtyard; we've meticulously crafted it all.

Jiang Yunyao nodded and said, "These courtyards are really nice, they seem similar to ours."

After finishing her meal, Zhou Wanwan strolled around the courtyard a few times and even fed the koi in the Imperial Garden.

I must say, the Zhao Family raises their koi exceptionally well.

Just after feeding them, Qin Zimo, Qin Zixuan, Qin Ziyu, the Great Qi, Zhao Mingzhu, Zhao Yuzhu, and a group of others rushed over.

Zhou Wanwan waved her hand and said, "Hello everyone! Coming to visit so late at night?"

Qin Zimo looked at Zhou Wanwan and said, "Zhou Wanwan, what are you doing here?"

Zhou Wanwan looked at Qin Zimo and said, "Hey! Let me explain."

Qin Zimo glared at Zhou Wanwan and said, "I remember you were locked in our woodshed, right? How did you get out?"

Zhou Wanwan frowned and said, "You just walked out like that? Does it require any skill?"

Qin Zimo gritted his teeth and said, "I'll settle this score with you later, you just wait."

He turned to look at Jiang Yunyao and said, "Mother, haven't you made enough of a scene? Come home with me."

Jiang Yunyao looked at him coldly and said:

Why should I go home with you?

"I've divorced your father, and I have no connection with the Qin Clan whatsoever."

Qin Zimo snorted coldly and said:

"You think it's okay just because you say so? Who are you going to get to settle all those messy debts?"

I'm getting married soon, and to the second princess no less. Do you think she'll still choose me?

Jiang Yunyao said calmly, "Who the Second Princess chooses is not something I can decide."

Then the second princess walked in, her face veiled. Seeing Zhou Wanwan, she approached and said, "Zhou Wanwan, let's have a good talk!"

Zhou Wanwan looked at the Second Princess and said, "Alright! What do you plan to talk to me about?"

The second princess looked at Zhou Wanwan earnestly and said, "I know you're capable; you can definitely help me remove the dark spots on my face. Name your price!"

Zhou Wanwan smiled faintly and said, "I don't like to set prices; I prefer others to offer prices. If what you've given me is worth my money, then I'll make the offer."

The second princess thought for a moment and said, "Can you guarantee that my face will stay like this forever after it's healed?"

Zhou Wanwan said calmly, "It depends on the price you offered. If your price is high, I'll let you maintain this position for a longer period. If your price is low, then there's nothing I can do."

The second princess remained silent for a moment before speaking, "Someone, bring the food up."

The maids filed in, carrying several vermilion lacquered wooden boxes, and gently placed them on the ground.

The chest was opened, revealing items the princess had kept hidden away: a pure gold bracelet, a gold hairpin inlaid with pearls, ruby earrings, a carved gold hairpin with dangling ornaments, a mutton-fat jade pendant, a jadeite thumb ring, a gilded incense box, a string of pearls, a small silver mirror, a gilded cosmetic box...

A maid whispered to Zhou Wanwan, "These are the princess's private treasures, which she keeps very secret and rarely shows to others."

Zhou Wanwan said calmly, "Are you trying to fool me with things meant for palace maids? These last two boxes were probably for palace maids too, weren't they?"

The second princess was stunned. She coughed and said, "This is all I have right now. I'll give it all to you."

Zhou Wanwan said, "That will last for a year, but with the jewelry you're wearing, I can extend it to two years."
