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

"As for the gold and silver treasures that Old Master Fan buried underground, we'll come back to dig them up tomorrow or the day after we've dealt with the Shi family."

"Either is fine." Nangong Wu raised her hand and swept the box into her spatial storage.

They did not work in vain last night by destroying the Shi family.

Bei Chenyan suddenly added, "Nangong Wu, you've avenged Fan Wuyou, so the recovered Fan family assets will be registered in your name!"

He harbored ulterior motives, intending to register the Fan family's businesses under Nangong Wu's name so that she would frequently visit Yulong City, allowing them to see each other often.

"Are you sure?" Nangong Wu asked in surprise.

"Yes." Bei Chenyan nodded firmly. "The Fan family is already wiped out. If we don't give it to you, it will go into the national treasury. Giving it to you is the same as giving it to our three children. We might as well take it."

Nangong Wu looked at him as if he were a fool. "Then it can be registered under your name as the Crown Prince, right? Even though you are the Crown Prince of a country, you can still have your own businesses."

Bei Chenyan shook his head. "No, if it's registered under my name, outsiders will definitely suspect my motives, that I destroyed the Shi family for the sake of the Fan family's assets."

"Alright then." Nangong Wu didn't stand on ceremony.

She looked around the main hall and said, "I want to preserve this Fan family mansion and let the original servants of the Fan family manage it again. I also want to keep the ancestral tablets of the Fan family in the ancestral hall so that someone can burn incense for them morning and evening."

"You can handle these things as you see fit." Bei Chenyan naturally had no objections.

"Shi Shengqing and Wan Shuhua are dead. The Fan family's great revenge has finally been achieved. I will go to the ancestral hall to offer them some incense to comfort their spirits in heaven." Nangong Wu stepped out.

"Do as you please."

"Then I'll wait for you outside the main gate." Bei Chenyan and she went out of the main hall together. They separated, one going to the backyard and the other going to the main gate.

The government officials were executing the murderers involved in the killing of the Fan family members outside the gate, which had already attracted a large crowd and sparked much discussion.

Nangong Wu led Li Shuang to the Fan family ancestral hall, took out a memorial tablet from her spatial storage, and placed it next to Fan Zhaodi's memorial tablet.

This is Fan Wuyou's memorial tablet. She had asked the guards of the Eastern Palace to help her find someone to carve it. Now, she and her daughter are together.

"Those who killed you have received their just deserts. May your souls rest in peace!"

She took the three incense sticks lit by Li Shuangbang, bowed three times to the memorial tablet, and inserted the incense sticks into the incense burner.

After the worship ceremony, the two left the ancestral hall.

Looking at the empty mansion, Li Shuang couldn't help but feel a little melancholy. "Heaven is really unfair to the Fan family. Fortunately, His Highness the Crown Prince helped us uncover Shi Shengqing's conspiracy. Otherwise, the Fan family would have died unjustly."

"No! This is a conspiracy by the Wan family." Nangong Wu sneered.

"What... a conspiracy by the Wan family?" Li Shuang was shocked.

"Yes!" Nangong Wu nodded and told her what she knew: "Wan Shuhua's previous husband was also killed by the Wan family..."

"Is that really how it is?" Li Shuang exclaimed in disbelief.

"That's right. Wan Shuhua's ex-husband's family was not prominent, but he was good-looking. Wan Shuhua insisted on marrying him, so the Wan family had no choice but to agree."

But her ex-husband was a good-looking scoundrel. After receiving support from the Wan family, he became arrogant and frequented brothels. He also beat her often, and the Wan family caused her to lose her husband.

Because the Wan family had their eyes on the Fan family's business, Wan Shuhua lost faith in love after being heartbroken, and Shi Shengqing was also quite handsome when he was young.

Wan Shuhua was prettier than Fan Zhaodi, and she deliberately seduced him. Shi Shengqing also wanted to use the Wan family's influence to climb the social ladder, and he was flattered by Wan Shuhua's favor. That's how the two got together.

Upon hearing this, Li Shuang couldn't help but ask again, "Since you have this evidence, why haven't you used it to expose the Wan family today? Is it because of Empress Wan, or is it simply not the right time?"

"It's not the right time yet," Nangong Wu nodded.

"Alas! It's really bad luck for the Fan family." Li Shuang felt sorry for the Fan family.

"The Fan family was once wealthy, but their fortunes have run out. Their population has dwindled, and they've encountered an ingrate like Shi Shengqing, who enjoys the Fan family's support while complaining about their status as merchants and their money-grubbing ways." Nangong Wu also felt quite sorry for them.

The two walked out while talking.

The entire mansion has been surrounded by the Imperial Guards, and everyone living there has been taken away by the government and is not allowed to take anything with them.

"What a fitting end." Li Shuang felt extremely relieved. "They enjoyed more than twenty years of wealth and luxury for nothing, but the blood-soaked buns weren't so delicious. In the end, it backfired, and their entire clan was wiped out."

Outside the gate of the Fan residence, nearly a hundred people, both men and women, were beheaded in the street. People who heard the news rushed to watch, and soon the area was packed with people pointing and talking about the corpses on the ground.

Bei Chenyan ordered that these people's corpses be left to rot for three days, and that the crimes of Shi Shengqing and Wan Shuhua be made public, with notices posted all over the streets of Yulong City.

More than twenty years have passed since then, and the younger generation has no idea about the Fan family. Only those over forty years old vaguely remember that there was a Fan family.

Nangong Wu stood inside the main gate for a while, but did not go out. She left with Li Shuang through the side gate.

Outside the side gate, a carriage was waiting for them.

"Return to the East Palace," Nangong Wu instructed, then boarded the carriage.

Lifting the carriage curtain, they saw Bei Chenyan sitting inside, reading a book.

Are you going back now too?

Bei Chenyan looked up at her and said, "Yes, with Zhang Qing and Wei Yang here, they will handle things well."

Nangong Wu sat down, tore off Fan Wuyou's fake skin mask, and then put on the fake mask belonging to the divine doctor.

"Aiqi, how is His Majesty's condition?"

"Master, His Majesty's condition is stable, and there has been no rejection reaction," Aiqi replied.

"That's good."

The surgery on Emperor Nanqi was successful, and his condition is stable. They should return to Runan City in two days.

"I just received news that after returning to the palace, the Empress Dowager knelt outside the Yikun Palace again." Bei Chenyan's expression was very bad.

Nangong Wu found it strange immediately. "Why is she kneeling? The evidence against Shi Shengqing and Wan Shuhua for murder is irrefutable. How dare she go to His Majesty?"

"Perhaps I disobeyed her today, and those account books—the Wan family won't willingly spit out what they've already swallowed." Bei Chenyan's expression darkened further.

"If you hadn't killed Shi Shengqing and Wan Shuhua today, given the current situation, it would have been impossible to bring those two to justice."

"Your royal affairs are really troublesome." Nangong Wu waved her hand. "I want to return to Runan City as soon as possible. I won't wait for the accounts between the Fan and Wan families. You can keep an eye on things."

"I've already found a few people to check those account books. Regardless of whether the Wan family comes or not, once all the accounts are settled, I'll send the bills to the Wan family in Fan Wuyou's name and let them collect the money."

"Whatever! I'm just afraid the Wan family won't be able to come up with the money and will try to renege." Nangong Wu looked at the Wan family's treasures in the space and smiled.
