With a warehouse full of supplies, I stood alone as king in this chaotic world, gun in hand.

"Since you're not dead, where did you go last night? Why didn't you come back?" Shi Shengqing stared at her with bloodshot eyes.

"Come back? Come back so you can kill me? Wouldn't that disturb my sleep? If I come back, none of you will be alive now. If you're all dead, who will return the Fan family's property?" Nangong Wu gritted her teeth and forced back the urge to kick out.

"Hahaha..." Shi Shengqing suddenly threw his head back and laughed a few times, his face contorted. "You still want the Fan family's wealth?"

"Hmm." Nangong Wu's expression was indifferent, seemingly unaware that the hall was already surrounded by hundreds of experts.

"A life for a life, a debt for a debt—this is an immutable law since ancient times!"

"Good! Very good!" Shi Shengqing exclaimed several times, then his voice suddenly rose, "Someone come here!"

"Father, don't be angry." A woman's voice came in.

Nangong Wu looked up and saw Wan Shuhua and Shi Peiqiong appear at the door.

Wan Shuhua's face wasn't as swollen anymore, but the handprint was still very obvious.

Upon seeing this, Shi Shengqing immediately went over. "Madam, Qiong'er, what brings you here?"

"I heard that my sister was here, so I came to see her," Shi Peiqiong said softly.

Sister? Nangong Wu was surprised to hear that the actors had arrived!

"Is this Sister Wuyou?" Shi Peiqiong walked gracefully to Nangong Wu, took her hand, and called out, "Sister."

"Don't call people that!" Nangong Wu took two steps back: "My mother only gave birth to one daughter, me."

Shi Peiqiong's smile froze slightly. "Sister, are you still angry with Father?"

She took a handkerchief and wiped away non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes. "I have heard about my mother's difficult childbirth and postpartum hemorrhage, which resulted in the death of both mother and child. The unborn child was also my father's flesh and blood, and he was also very sad. When you were little, you were weak, so your father had no choice but to send you to the estate to be raised."

Later, you ran away and never came back. Your father was very worried and sent people everywhere to look for you. So many years have passed, and everyone thought you had met with some misfortune, but your father has never given up looking for you.

Nangong Wu remained silent, her arms crossed, watching her continue her performance with a leisurely air.

Shi Peiqiong continued to act out the sisterly affection, "Sister Wuyou, it's good that you're alright. Now that you're back, let's live a good life together as a family."

"You've reached the age for marriage, so let your father help you find a good match. You can choose any noble young man in the capital. As long as you like him, I'll go to the palace and ask the Empress to bestow a marriage upon you."

Upon hearing her words, Shi Shengqing immediately understood.

Rather than killing Fan Wuyou, it might be better to keep her calm and perhaps get some value from her family, and then get her to return what she stole.

Women? They just hope to find a good marriage. His daughter, Shi Shengqing, has the Empress as her guarantor. Once the news gets out, people who want to marry Fan Wuyou will probably be lining up at the door.

"Qiong'er, you are a sensible child. So, please put in a good word for your sister's marriage with the Empress."

"Father, don't worry, I will." Shi Peiqiong nodded with a smile, seemingly genuinely concerned about Fan Wuyou's marriage.

Li Shuang couldn't stand it anymore and said to Nangong Wu, "Miss, this woman is acting so well. It's as if the people who set fire to us last night and tried to burn us alive weren't them."

"Hmm, her acting is indeed quite good, but what she said is really disgusting." Nangong Wu said, making a vomiting gesture.

Shi Peiqiong's eyes immediately reddened, as if she had suffered a great injustice. "Sister, I'm only doing this for your own good. How can you say such things to me?"

Shi Shengqing was immediately enraged. "You unfilial daughter! Qiong'er is only doing this for your own good. She's your sister. How can you speak so harshly to her?"

"Father, please don't say that about my sister. She has been living away from home for so many years, and it's understandable that she feels bitter and resentful towards us. I can understand that."

Shi Peiqiong's tears fell like rain: "Sister, no matter how much resentment you feel, we are all family. We share the same fate, and we share the same fate. We will make up for the suffering you have endured."

Women will eventually get married. Don't worry, I will ask Her Majesty the Empress to arrange a good marriage for you and prepare a generous dowry so you can have a grand wedding..."

"Shut up!" Nangong Wu interrupted her.

"Who said I was getting married? Let me correct you again, my surname is Fan, and I have absolutely no relation to your surname Shi. This is the Fan family. I'm back today to settle accounts with you and make you return everything you've taken from the Fan family over the years."

Shi Peiqiong stopped pressing the handkerchief she was holding to the corner of her eye, and her gaze turned cold.

"You wretch, Qiong'er was just giving you a way out, don't be ungrateful." Wan Shuhua was spoiled since childhood and didn't have Shi Peiqiong's acting skills or composure.

After all, Shi Peiqiong grew up by Empress Wan's side and was raised by the palace maids. Her every word and action was proper, and she never showed her emotions.

Nangong Wu watched the changing expressions on the faces of the family of three and sneered:

"Shi Shengqing, Wan Shuhua, you adulterous couple, you conspired to commit adultery back then, secretly got pregnant, hired someone to kill my maternal grandfather, and poisoned my mother who was eight months pregnant, causing her to die along with her unborn child. Did you think that after so many years, this blood debt would have disappeared?"

I've returned this time to make your entire family pay for their crimes in blood and receive the retribution they deserve.

When she bluntly revealed the shameful affair, Shi Shengqing and Wan Shuhua's faces contorted in rage.

"Shi Shengqing, this is the good daughter you gave birth to. If you don't handle this little bitch's matter well, I'll divorce you." Wan Shuhua pointed at Shi Shengqing.

"Mother." Shi Peiqiong grabbed her hand, gave her a wink, and then looked at Nangong Wu.

"Sister, did you hear some nonsense outside and that's why you misunderstood Father and Mother? We can explain these things!"

Aiqi's voice suddenly rang out in the space, "Master, be careful! This woman is hiding something in her sleeve. The package contains a powdery substance. I think she's planning something bad for you."

Nangong Wu looked and saw that Shi Peiqiong had already put her hand into her sleeve and was walking towards her.

"Sister, I have something good to show you."

Nangong Wu stood there without moving, watching how she would make her move.

A ruthless glint flashed in Shi Peiqiong's eyes as she suddenly threw a packet of poison powder she had prepared in her sleeve at her.

Suddenly, Nangong Wu produced a fan in her hand, used it to block the poison powder, and then kicked it out hard.

"Ah!" Shi Peiqiong screamed as she flew straight out.

"Qiong'er..."

Shi Shengqing and Wan Shuhua screamed in surprise.

Suddenly, a figure flew in at lightning speed from outside the door and caught Shi Peiqiong.

"Guards! Seize this wretched girl and take her life or death!" Shi Shengqing roared angrily.
