Whoever Gains Zhou Wanwan Gains the World

Lin Shuang roared, "Nonsense! My mother isn't like that!"

Old Madam Zhao looked at her and said, "You grew up by my side since you were little. Have you ever seen me be ruthless to others?"

Lin Shuang's face turned deathly pale. Suddenly, she slowly knelt down and said, "How could this be? My mother clearly said that you stole her position Madam Zhao."

Old Madam Zhao looked at her and said, "Is your mother still alive? If she is, bring her here so we can confront her face to face."

Lin Shuang nodded and said, "Alright, I'll bring my mother over now. I want to know which of you is lying."

Soon, Lin Shuang brought her mother over.

Lin Shuang's mother, whose face was covered in scars, slapped Lin Shuang across the face and said, "Useless thing, you can't even properly administer a Gu poison."

Lin Shuang looked at her and asked, "Mother, what exactly happened back then?"

Lin Shuang's mother said:

"If it weren't for that old hag, how could I have ended up like that back then?"

How could she have gotten involved with a hoodlum and then had you?

"Luckily you were so brave, you actually married Zhao Botong."

Lin Shuang burst into tears. "So that's how it is. It was all a lie. You've been lying to me all along."

Lin Shuang laughed loudly, "I was just one step away from killing this old hag, why couldn't you be more capable?"

Lin Shuang suddenly vomited blood and slowly collapsed to the ground.

Lin Shuang exclaimed in alarm, "Mother! What's wrong?"

Zhou Wanwan said, "She committed suicide by poisoning herself. She knew she couldn't escape what she had done today, so she simply chose to end it all."

Old Madam Zhao sighed and said:

Why do this? An endless cycle of revenge only leads to more revenge.

If she hadn't been jealous of me back then, she wouldn't have ended up like this.

Lin Shuang knelt down, and Zhao Mingzhu and Zhao Yuzhu also knelt down.

Zhao Mingzhu said, "Grandmother, please, please spare my mother!"

Old Madam Zhao sighed and looked at Zhao Botong: "Botong, what do you think should be done about this?"

Zhao Botong looked at her and said, "Mother, I... I don't know either. I'll do whatever you say."

Old Madam Zhao looked at Lin Shuang and said, "Lin Shuang, is there anything you want to say?"

Lin Shuang said:

"My daughter-in-law has nothing to say. I plan to become a nun. Please give my children a way to survive."

Mingzhu has just become engaged to the Crown Prince, and Yuzhu has just found a husband.

Old Madam Zhao looked at Lin Shuang calmly and said:

"Lin Shuang, you were brought to my side when you were 5 years old."

I truly loved you like my own daughter, but I never imagined you would do something like this.

Lin Shuang wept bitterly, and in the end Lin Shuang was imprisoned on the estate.

Zhao Mingzhu and Zhao Yuzhu's faces were covered in marks from being beaten.

Zhao Mingzhu looked at Zhou Wanwan and said, "It's all your fault. If it weren't for you, how could our family have ended up like this?"

Zhou Wanwan looked at her and said, "This is so unreasonable. If I don't tell you this, your grandmother won't live much longer."

Old Madam Zhao looked at Zhao Mingzhu and Zhao Yuzhu and said:

"Take them away and let them reflect on their actions in the ancestral hall. They are not allowed to come out without my permission."

They were made to copy the "Admonitions for Women" one hundred times as punishment.

Soon, the two young ladies were pulled away.

Old Madam Zhao looked at Zhao Botong, "Do you believe me now?"

Zhao Botong nodded and said, "I believe you now. I didn't expect Zhou Wanwan to actually have such a skill."

Old Madam Zhao held Zhou Wanwan's hand and said, "Good child, from now on you will call me Grandmother. Someone, bring me that sandalwood box."

Soon a maid came over carrying a sandalwood box.

Inside was a kingfisher feather hairpin with a pearl pendant, a piece of mutton-fat white jade pendant, and a pair of bright green jadeite bracelets.

There are also ruby and gold rings and amber carvings, and hidden at the bottom is a string of pearls, each a valuable family heirloom.

Zhao Botong's face changed when he saw these things. "Mother, these are things you usually wouldn't wear. Why did you take them all out?"

Old Lady Zhao smiled and said:

"Wanwan saved my life this time, and these things are a thank you gift to her."

From now on, Wanwan from our Zhao Family will be considered an honored guest.

Did you all hear that?

Everyone in the Zhao Family nodded in agreement.

Old Lady Zhao held Zhou Wanwan's hand and said, "I have five sons, all of whom are good-for-nothings. You will stay at the Zhao Family's house from now on, and I will have someone prepare a courtyard for you."

Zhou Wanwan quickly declined, saying, "I'm only staying for a few days; I plan to leave tomorrow."

Old Madam Zhao took Zhou Wanwan's hand and said, "Then let's stay two more days. I'm planning to hold a winter feast, and you must attend."

Rich people always join this club or that club.

Zhou Wanwan nodded and said, "That works too."

Old Madam Zhao smiled and said, "Then it's settled. Someone, take Wanwan down to rest and prepare the best room for her."

Zhao Kun smiled and said, "Then wouldn't I have another niece?"

Zhao Botong rolled his eyes and said, "I don't know what you're so happy about. I think you're all under Zhou Wanwan's spell; there's something wrong with that child."

Zhao Kun looked at his older brother and said:

"Brother, why do you have such a strong prejudice against her? Is it because of your wife's situation?"

This was indeed my sister-in-law's fault.

Bah! What sister-in-law? She's going to kill our mother.

Zhao Botong didn't say anything more.

As soon as Zhou Wanwan stepped outside, she saw the Great Qi standing there with his hands behind his back, saying, "Zhou Wanwan, do you know that the War God's Tomb has been opened?"

Zhou Wanwan looked at him and said, "Why are you suddenly telling me this?"

"Aren't you curious about what's inside the War God's Tomb?"

Zhou Wanwan nodded and said, "I'm quite curious, but what's the point? I'd rather work hard and earn money outside!"

The Great Qi took a deep breath and said, "You really don't understand anything. Have you ever heard of the saying 'whoever possesses the War God's Tomb will rule the world'?"

Zhou Wanwan looked at the Great Qi and said:

You actually believe such nonsense?

If you believe, you will gain the world by possessing the War God's Tomb.

It's better to believe that whoever wins over Zhou Wanwan wins the world.

The Great Qi laughed heartily:

"You're quite interesting, huh? You think you're very funny?"

"A mere young girl like you dares to say anything, and you even think Zhou Wanwan is the one who wins the world? Who do you think you are?"

The Great Qi scoffed:

"You're just lucky, that's why you went from being a peasant to what you are now."

It's an honor for you to have me follow you.

You think you can achieve instant success? You should really think about it.

Still so narcissistic.

Zhou Wanwan turned and left, Great Qi said behind her:

"Don't think you're safe. Do you know Consort Li is like now?"

She seems to have a grudge against you!

Zhou Wanwan naturally knew who Consort Li was; Consort Li was Zhao Lili.

Now she has entered the palace as the Imperial Consort of the Great Qi, and is deeply favored by the Emperor of Great Qi.

It's fair to say that she's the one truly in charge of the Great Qi now.

Consort Li is now pregnant. If she gives birth to a boy, it will inevitably threaten the position of Great Qi of Daqi.

Therefore, the Great Qi became anxious and wanted to join forces with Zhou Wanwan.

As long as he joins forces with Zhou Wanwan, he can find a way to bring Zhou Wanwan into the palace and then secretly abort Consort Li's child.

Unfortunately, Zhou Wanwan couldn't be bothered with him and went straight back to her room to sleep.

Today was so tiring; I treated so many patients.

Fortunately, it was a Manman day; I made a lot of money.

Zhou Wanwan soundly, but many members of the Zhao Family couldn't sleep.

As soon as Lin Shuang arrived at the estate, someone came looking for her and said, "Lin Shuang, you actually failed your mission! You're such a waste!"

Lin Shuang quickly said, "Master, please calm down. I didn't expect that a little girl would see through this today."

The man looked at Lin Shuang and said, "She's just a little girl, what's there to be afraid of?"

Lin Shuang shook her head and said:

"Something's not right with this girl. I have a feeling she's not simple."

"Master, what should we do now?"

Then they heard the man say, "We must take down the Zhao Family; they have far too many Zhao Family."
