Chapter 495 I'm Not Afraid of the Wang Family

Wen Shu followed the servant for about a quarter of an hour and arrived at the Zou family, which was not far from the Wang residence.

The courtyard of the Zou family is not big, with two entrances in front and back. Wen Shu stood at the door and closed his eyes for a moment, then he could see the entire Zou house.

But, her father wasn't in there?! She frowned slightly and followed the messenger into the Zou Mansion.

In the front living room, a young man was cursing while covering his red and swollen face. When he saw Wen Shu, he was stunned for a moment and then sat up straight, glancing at Wen Shu. "Where did this young lady come from?"

Before the other servants could react, Wen Shu stepped forward and twisted his hands behind his back, "I heard that you arrested my father. Tell me, where is he?!"

"You mean that old man? He ran away a long time ago!!"

"Do you think I will believe it?" Wen Shu exerted a little force, and Zou Wei immediately cried out in pain.

"Really, really, the wound on my face was caused by him. If you don't believe me, just look." He raised his face, trying hard to prove himself.

Where did this crazy woman come from? She has such strong hands! If my leg wasn't injured and I couldn't move around easily, I would have taught her a lesson.

Wen Shu thought about it and realized that her father's strength had indeed increased a lot after eating the Huaimu fruit she gave him. She glanced at the four servants in the yard and thought that if there were only these few people, it would not be impossible for her father to escape.

Seeing her silence, the servant next to her thought she didn't believe it. Seeing his young master grimacing in pain, he chimed in, "Young Master is telling the truth. That old man is very strong. The four of us can't hold him down."

Wen Shu raised his eyebrows, "Since you can't hold him down, then how did you capture my father in the first place?!"

The servant hesitated, "We said we caught the young man who was with him, so he followed us here."

So that's what happened. Dad thought Qin Jingyang was caught by them, so he came here with them willingly. Later, when he found out that Qin Jingyang was not here, he broke free from their grip and ran away.

Like something her father would do.

She said that being strong definitely has its benefits.

After all, strength can defeat skill. Even if you don't know martial arts, you will not be bullied anywhere with this strength.

Upon learning that her father had escaped, Wen Shu felt a little better. She left Zou Wei and turned to leave, but halfway through, she remembered about the shop.

"By the way, I have taken over the former Wangji Teahouse on Qianyue Street. If you don't want to get yourself into trouble, don't cause trouble, otherwise..." She glanced at the tea table next to Zou Wei and kicked it. The tea table immediately broke into two halves, with debris flying everywhere.

Zou Wei took a deep breath and said repeatedly: "I dare not, I dare not."

Wen Shu nodded in satisfaction and turned to leave. At this moment, a woman ran out from the back hall, fell to her knees in front of her, and cried, "Young lady, help me."

"How did we let this bitch get out? Hurry up and bring her in." Zou Wei yelled at the servants.

The servants wanted to go forward, but when they saw Wen Shu, they did not dare to do so.

"Who are you?" Wen Shu looked at the person in front of him.

At the age of 10, she was wearing a colorful dress, but her eyes were red and swollen from crying, and there were bruises on her forehead.

"My name is Liu Yunniang, the daughter-in-law of Li Rongsheng from Wang's Teahouse. I was abducted by this playboy half a month ago. Please save me, madam." After the lady said this, she kowtowed repeatedly.

If she were an ordinary young lady, she would certainly not dare to ask for help, but she saw clearly in the back hall just now that this young lady knew martial arts, and she actually knew her father-in-law.

Since we know each other, you shouldn't just sit there and do nothing.

Wen Shu remembered what the shopkeeper had said, and went to help her, "Madam, get up quickly." Then he turned around and looked at Zou Wei.

Zou Wei shuddered immediately, and before she could speak, he said, "Take her away, I don't want her anymore."

"You just said you don't want it?" Wen Shu gently patted Lu Yunniang's arm, then slowly walked to Zou Wei, "She was living a good life, but you took her away and made her suffer. Now you want to let it go with just a few words?"

"Then what do you want?" Zou Wei was a little angry and confused.

The people being robbed were not her family members, so it’s none of her business. She’s really meddling in other people’s business.

But due to the means of the person in front of him, he dared only think about these words in his heart. "How is it? Of course." Wen Shu glanced at his lower body, and Zou Wei was immediately startled and cried, "Young lady, spare my life, I will never dare to do it again."

Wen Shu ignored him and turned to ask Liu Yunniang who was standing in the yard: "How do you want to punish him?"

Liu Yunniang was already frightened, shaking her body and shaking her head, "I don't know, I just want to go back to find my husband."

"Since she doesn't want to punish you, I will spare you for now. However, I will fine you 500 taels to pay for the medical expenses of this lady."

"You're crazy, this is blackmail!"

Wen Shu slapped him in the face, "It may be difficult for others, but you are Madam Wang's nephew, you can't be unable to come up with this little money."

"Since you know who I am, why do you still dare? Aren't you afraid of revenge from the Wang family?!" Zou Wei covered his face, very surprised.

"Humph, others are afraid of the Wang family, but I am not." She leaned close to Zou Wei's ear and whispered, "I am a foreigner and will be gone in a few days. Even if they kill you, the Wang family can't do anything to me."

There was a depth in her eyes, as if these were not empty words.

Zou Wei looked at her in fear, but in the end his life was more important, so he shouted, "I'll give it to you, I'll give it to you, someone, go to my room and get the box from the first compartment of the cabinet."

"We need Jiaozi that can be exchanged." Wen Shu added.

After a while, the servant brought a locked box. Zou Wei was about to take it, but Wen Shu snatched it away.

She glanced at the copper lock on the box, casually reached out and pulled and twisted it, and the lock suddenly deformed and fell off, revealing the contents of the box.

There was a jade pendant on the top, and underneath it was a stack of eight silver bills, all with a face value of one hundred taels.

Wen Shu directly pulled out seven cards, slowly put two of them into her waist, "These two cards are for my hard work. After all, unlocking a lock is not easy." She handed the remaining five cards to Liu Yunniang who was standing in the yard.

Liu Yunniang was afraid that Zou Wei would retaliate against her in the future, so she didn't dare to take it. Wen Shu simply stuffed the box into her clothes around her waist and threw the box back to Zou Wei.

"I'll leave the remaining one hundred taels to you, but remember, don't do these things to bully men and women again, otherwise I will come back to punish you."

Zou Wei was angry but dared not say anything, he could only nod expressionlessly.

That night, when the lights were just coming on, in an alley not far from Qianyue Street, a woman sat slumped at the door, crying: "Sir, Sir, why did you leave me?"

The crowd gathered around her and talked about her. Wen Shu stood under the eaves outside the crowd with his arms crossed, not knowing whether he should go forward to comfort her.

Liu Yunniang had a huge amount of money on her and was distracted, so based on the principle of saving people to the end and sending Buddha to the west, she went back here with her.

Who would have thought that the shopkeeper and his family moved out early this morning, and the neighbors all said they didn't know where they went.

"The Xu family left before dawn. They must be afraid of revenge from the Wang family." Neighbors thought so.

Some kind-hearted people tried to comfort her: "Maybe your parents-in-law have returned to their hometown. Why don't you go and look for them?"

There were also some malicious people who were gloating over her misfortune, "What do you mean she returned home? In my opinion, it was simply because the young master of the Xu family despised her for being unclean that he ran away early."

Hearing this, Liu Yunniang trembled and cried even more sadly: "Master, Master..."

Wen Shu couldn't stand it any longer, so he pushed through the crowd, went in and helped her up, then glared at the person who had spoken earlier, "She was abducted by force and against her will. If her husband dislikes her for this, it can only be said that she is not a good match. You don't have good manners when you speak, be careful that this will happen to you next time."

"Hey, where did you come from, you little bitch? How dare you curse me?" The woman was enraged and raised her hand to slap Wen Shu.

Wen Shu caught her raised hand and pushed her with a little force, causing her to stagger.

Seeing that she couldn't get what she wanted, the woman walked away cursing.
