Before rebirth, Shen Weiwan was the famous "stupid" legitimate daughter in the capital. She was used as a pawn by her aunt and cousin, handing over the key to the general's mansion ware...
Shen Weiwan leaned close to the Queen Mother's ear and whispered for a while. The Queen Mother nodded repeatedly and clapped her thigh: "Great! Let's do it! Tomorrow I will stew the 'Ten-Ingredient Tonic Soup' for that old man!"
A few days later, the emperor, with dark circles under his eyes, came to Xiao Yu to complain: "Seventh Brother, your mother said I have kidney deficiency, so she made me a bowl of soup. I drank it and had diarrhea for three days!"
Xiao Yu suppressed a laugh: "Father, perhaps you have made amends?"
"Repaired?" the emperor blew his beard and glared. "She said she'd give me a massage, but she nearly broke my waist! She must have learned those crooked ways from your wife!"
Xiao Yu finally couldn't help laughing: "Father, just accept your fate. Who told you to marry a 'scam expert'?"
Word spread like wildfire, and the reputation of the "Scam Academy" grew even greater. Even the young eunuchs in the palace secretly signed up to learn how to "elegantly" handle the chief eunuch. The legend of Shen Weiwan as the "reincarnation of the devil" grew even more outlandish. Some said she could shake the capital with a single stomp of her foot, while others said she could ruin someone's fortune for ten years with a single smile.
On this day, an unexpected person came to the college - the lame Li Xiu. He was wearing patched old clothes and had messy hair. When he saw Shen Weiwan, he kowtowed and said, "Dean Shen, I...I also want to sign up."
Shen Weiwan raised her eyebrows: "What does Mr. Li want to learn?"
Li Xiu rubbed his cracked hands, his voice choking with sobs. "I want to learn...how to avoid being ripped off. I'm broke now, and my creditors hound me every day..."
Kengkeng and Wawa immediately surrounded them, slingshots and itching powder in hand: "Want to learn how to avoid being tricked? Let us trick you first!"
Li Xiu was so frightened that he stepped back repeatedly, his limp legs giving way as he sat on the ground. "I know I was wrong... I shouldn't have lied to you back then... Please, have mercy..."
Shen Weiwan looked at his dejected appearance, and recalled the misery of being deceived into marriage by him in her previous life. Her heart was no longer moved. She sighed and said to Chuntao, "Go and give him ten taels of silver."
Li Xiu was stunned: "Dean Shen, you...are not going to trick me?"
"Why would I cheat you?" Shen Weiwan shrugged. "Looking at you like this now, it's more satisfying than cheating you."
Li Xiu held the silver in his hands, bursting into tears, and kowtowed as he left. Xiao Yu walked out from behind the screen and hugged Shen Weiwan's shoulders: "It's rare to see you being so soft-hearted."
"It's not that I'm soft-hearted, it's that I feel it's boring." Shen Weiwan leaned in his arms, "The real pit is to let him fall into the mud pit and can't climb out."
As the sun sets, the plaque reading "School of Tricksters" gleams in the afterglow. Outside the courtyard wall, several children chase each other and sing a newly composed ballad:
"Devil King Dean Shen Weiwan, who cheated others and made a fortune,
The bad guys trembled when they saw it, and the good guys smiled when they saw it.
The beggar learned not to be beaten, and the prince loved his wife.
Everyone in Beijing knows that if you want to cheat someone, look for Sister Weiwan!
Shen Weiwan listened to the ballad, a hearty smile on her lips. In this life, she didn't rely on power or witchcraft, but used her "devious wit" to trample her enemies underfoot, becoming the most legendary "demon king" in the capital. As for that "Scam Academy"? Let it continue to operate, after all -
Things like cheating others must be taught from a young age!
Xiao Yu looked at the light in his wife's eyes and shook his head helplessly and dotingly. He knew that with Chen Weiwan around, life in the capital would only get more lively and enjoyable! And he was willing to be her strongest supporter, even if he was occasionally betrayed, he was happy to accept it. After all, who made him fall in love with such a quirky, vindictive, yet kind-hearted "demon king"?
