You're Saying Everything in My Shops Is Gone?

Qin Shuo frowned and said, "I don't think so. Shen Yumei is so rich, and they're so in love right now. How could they possibly start fighting in just one month?"

Zhou Wanwan smiled and said:

"I took all the estates and shops under Shen Yumei's control that I could."

So Shen Yumei is now penniless.

I'm just wondering, now that he knows she's penniless, will Duan Beishan still stay with her?

Qin Shuo sighed and said, "Regardless of anything else, Duan Beishan is no good."

Old Scholar Tree threw the drunk Qin Shuo onto the bed, while Zhou Wanwan fell asleep.

The next morning, as soon as Shen Yumei woke up, her stewards rushed over, saying, "Madam, something terrible has happened!"

Shen Yumei and Duan Beishan stayed up very late last night. She rubbed her eyes and asked, "What happened? Have they found those thieves from yesterday?"

The manager shook his head and said:

"No, madam, those thieves were not found yesterday."

All the shopkeepers came today and said that everything in our shops is gone.

Shen Yumei's eyes widened as she said:

"How could this happen? You're saying everything in my shop is gone?"

I own a jewelry shop, a silk store, two restaurants, and a grain shop.

How could these things be gone?

The manager sighed and said, "I don't know either, anyway, all our managers are outside."

Shen Yumei, without bothering to wash up, rushed out. "What exactly is going on?"

The managers shook their heads:

"Madam, we don't know what's going on either."

When I woke up this morning, I found that everything in the shop was gone, including the remaining stock.

Shen Yumei looked at the jewelry shop owner and said, "What about all those top-quality jewelry pieces in the shop? And all those exquisite gemstones? Are they all gone too?"

These are all treasures that Shen Yumei has collected for a long time, and many of them are priceless.

It can be considered the prized possession of their shop.

"Gone, all gone." There were dozens of guards on duty in the shop yesterday, but everything in the shop disappeared overnight.

Shen Yumei cursed, "A bunch of useless trash, isn't anyone watching them?"

"Yes, those people are still watching at the door, but they just don't know how those things disappeared."

Shen Yumei trembled with anger. "Go and fetch the magistrate! Go and fetch the magistrate right now!"

Shen Tao also rushed over; he was eager to see this place become a laughing stock.

Shen Yumei looked at Shen Tao and said, "Shen Tao, you have to stand up for me!"

Shen Tao looked at his former mother-in-law and asked, "What happened here?"

With tears streaming down her face, Shen Yumei said, "My home is gone overnight, and even the things in my shop are gone."

Qin Shuang rushed out of the inner room and said, "My dowry is all gone, including all the jewelry! What happened? Has our house been robbed?"

Shen Tao felt secretly pleased. He hadn't been able to eat or sleep for the past few days, and he had finally gotten his revenge.

He said calmly, "You've probably offended someone, haven't you?"

Qin Shuang looked at him and said, "Who could we possibly offend? Shen Tao, are you here to laugh at us?"

Shen Tao glanced at her and said, "If you want to laugh, then laugh! I advise you to release Zhou Wanwan immediately."

Qin Shuang sneered:

"I sent you here to investigate the case. There's no way Zhou Wanwan will be released, so don't even think about it."

Are you treating Zhou Wanwan as your illegitimate daughter?

I doubt you're exactly clean outside either.

Shen Tao had said all he needed to say; he was too lazy to explain further to Qin Shuang.

This Zhou Wanwan at the Qin Clan is like a bomb.

He had no idea when or how it would explode.

The first wave has already been detonated, and he doesn't know what will happen next.

Since Zhou Wanwan is here, she'll definitely need to find something to have fun with.

Shen Tao walked around a few times, then around the shop a few more times, and said, "I really don't know. I've already checked, but I can't find anything."

Shen Yumei frowned and said, "How come you have absolutely no skills? No wonder my daughter doesn't like you."

Shen Tao sighed and said, "Your daughter's cousin is quite capable. When it comes to eating, drinking, gambling, and whoring, he's an expert in everything. I certainly can't compare to him."

"What nonsense are you spouting! Her cousin is a handsome young man, and he's currently taking the imperial examination to become a scholar! He'll pass it soon," Shen Yumei retorted.

This cousin is Shen Yumei's nephew, so naturally she would protect him.

Shen Tao chuckled speechlessly and said, "Fine, fine, whatever you say."

After saying that, he turned to leave.

Qin Shuang said loudly:

"Shen Tao, you stop right there! You can't find anything out right now!"

I've lost all my money, aren't you going to give me any money for household expenses?

Shen Tao stopped and looked at Qin Shuang, asking, "Ah? How many do you want?"

Qin Shuang sneered and said, "I want 10,000 taels of silver."

Shen Tao chuckled and said, "Oh! You wait at home! I'll cook for you later."

Qin Shuang stomped her feet in anger. "Shen Tao, what did you say about helping me burn it? You heartless bastard!"

Shen Tao looked at Qin Shuang and said, "Yes, yes, you have a conscience. You cheated on me, and you still expect me to give you money? What are you dreaming of?"

Qin Shuang, with her three children in tow, pointed at Shen Tao and said, "You've seen your father, haven't you? That's the kind of person he is; he's utterly heartless."

Qin Shuang's eldest son sneered:

"Mother, who is the heartless one?"

Father didn't want these things to become a public scandal in order to keep them quiet, and you, how dare you ask Father for money?

Qin Shuang's second son also sneered, "Don't say you're our mother, it's too shameful."

Qin Shuang's third daughter looked at Shen Tao pitifully and said, "Father, I miss you. Can I go with you?"

Shen Tao looked at his daughter and said, "You're already 13 years old. It's not appropriate for you to be with me."

Shen Tao is 32 years old this year, and Yaya is 13 years old, a 19-year age difference, which is indeed a bit inappropriate.

But this girl was spoiled since she was a child.

Shen Tao was also deeply saddened. In truth, Shen Tao wasn't a person with any Dazhi.

I usually enjoy tending to flowers and plants, and also helping the children with their homework.

He was very good to these three children.

Qin Shuang looked at the three children and said, "Are you three out of your minds? I am your mother, he is not your biological father at all."

Qin Shuang's eldest son said calmly:

We're already so grown up, and I'm already married.

I plan to move out of the Qin residence and live elsewhere. As for you, Mother, you can decide for yourself!

Qin Shuang's second son also nodded and said:

"Thanks to my father for buying us a house."

Moreover, each of us owns a manor, which is enough for us to live on.

Mother, you'd better take care of yourself from now on!

Qin Shuang slapped her thigh and said, "Oh dear, you bunch of ingrates! Are you abandoning me?"

Qin Shuang's third daughter looked at her coldly and said:

Why did you do this? Do you know how outrageous your actions are?

Because of what you did, I'm having a hard time finding a spouse now; no one wants to marry me.

Now that my fiancé has broken off the engagement, are you satisfied?

Qin Shuang stammered, "This... this isn't what I wanted?"

The third daughter Shen Miaomiao, sneered, "Now my reputation is ruined, and it's all your fault."

She walked to Shen Tao's side and said, "Father... Shen Tao, I want to go home."

Shen Tao sighed and said, "Alright! Stay at my place for now! I'll buy you a house tomorrow, and you can move in."

After all, the child was older now. Shen Miaomiao grasped Shen Tao's hand and said, "Thank you."

Shen Tao sighed helplessly; after all, she had watched this child grow up from a young age. "The engagement over there has been called off?"

Shen Miaomiao nodded and said, "It's off. Steward Ye came over personally last night and gave me the annulment papers."

Shen Tao looked at her and said, "I don't think the Ye Family is a good match; it's better to break it off."
