The next day, the Xu family was prepared for Madam Ru to come and "take her away," but no one from the Song family showed up until nightfall.
It was only after Xu Yi returned that he told them that the Wang family members had been arrested.

This includes Wang Chunni, who has already been taken away by the Zhou family.
The Zhou family spent a lot of money to bring Zhou Baojin back. Zhou Baojin then used Wang Chunni's unborn child as leverage, pleading desperately. The Zhou family then added another sum of money and brought these two troublesome people back.
The Xu family did not intend to let Wang Chunni off so easily. Based on what Fu Man'er had inquired about, the Zhou family was like a den of wolves and tigers.
Wang Chunni, who was eager to marry into wealth and status, only began her ordeal there.
Unfortunately, no sooner had she arrived at the Zhou family's door than the Song family arrived.
Even if Zhou Baojin wanted to keep Wang Chunni, what could a small Zhou family use to resist the noble people coming from the capital?
Not only did they not dare to resist, but they also had to respectfully send the person out.
Wang Chunni was still unaware of what was happening, but she could clearly sense that the guards were treating her much more rudely.
She tried to ask them what their purpose was, but the guards remained silent with stern faces.
With a heavy heart, Wang Chunni arrived at the Song residence once again, and this time she met the Wang family again.
However, the situation is very different now than it was back then.
Wang Sanbao, Niu Daya, and Wang Dacai were tied up and made to kneel on the ground, their bodies trembling.
Wang Chunni was only in a daze when the person behind her shoved her hard, "How dare you! You don't even bow to the madam when you see her."
Caught off guard, Wang Chunni was pushed to the ground. Ignoring the pain, she quickly kowtowed and bowed, saying, "This humble woman greets Madam Ru."
While kowtowing, she glanced at Wang Dacai beside her.
Wang Dacai's face was filled with terror, his head hanging low, almost touching his chest.
Although she didn't know what had happened, the current situation told her that it wasn't a good thing.
The concubine, seated at the head of the table, glanced at the four people kneeling on the ground as if they were ants. "You are the ones who abused my daughter?"
Her voice, though not angry, was authoritative and struck Wang Sanbao and Niu Daya on the head, and the two hurriedly explained.
"Madam, we didn't, we didn't."

They had barely left the city when they were kidnapped and brought back by a group of people. The moment they saw Madam Ru, they knew it was all over, all over, all over.
The female official waiting nearby shouted angrily, "You dare to argue in front of the Madam? Watch your skin! Think about how many lives you have left to live!"
Wang Chunni understood what was going on. In just a few days, the noble lady in front of her already knew that Fu Man'er was her biological daughter.
Although she was still young at that time, she could remember things and knew how her family treated Fu Man'er.
Not only did Niu Daya beat and scold her constantly, but she also bossed Fu Man'er around.
Sometimes, when she's even slightly unhappy, she'll imitate Niu Daya, pinching and scolding her.
Thinking of this, Wang Chunni couldn't help but shudder. The Wang Sanbao couple next to her were still crying and shouting that they hadn't done it.
They're so stupid. At a time like this, the more they try to argue, the angrier they get.
Just as she was thinking this, Madam Ru suddenly threw the teacup in her hand, which hit Niu Daya hard on the head.
Broken porcelain shards fell down. Wang Chunni saw that it was a fine white jade quilt, worth a hundred taels of silver, but now it was nothing more than something for a nobleman to vent his anger.
The cup struck Niu Daya on the forehead, drawing blood that dripped onto the ground. The couple screamed in terror, but the female official had them slapped several times before finally calming them down.
A foul odor reached her nose, and Wang Chunni glanced over to see Wang Dacai.
He was so scared he peed his pants.
Clearly, this immoral behavior was met with disdain by the concubine. She gave the female official only a glance, and the official ordered Wang Dacai to be dragged out.
“Madam,” Wang Chunni said, forcing herself to calm down, “when Man’er was little, our family didn’t treat her very well.”
"But, at least Man'er was brought back from outside by my parents, which saved her life. Please, for this reason, spare our lives."
Wang Chunni laid her hands on the ground and kowtowed deeply to Madam Ru.
“In the beginning, my parents treated Man’er like their own daughter. But later, the family’s life got worse and worse, and there were too many unpleasant things, which made them lose their minds.”
"But no matter how much we beat or scolded her, our Wang family still saved Man'er's life."
Wang Chunni pleaded while crying, desperately hoping that this incident would make Madam Ru show them mercy.

Her words indeed drew the attention of Madam Ru, and seemed to have awakened Wang Sanbao and his wife.
They began to kowtow frantically, desperately recounting how good they had been to Fu Man'er during the first year they brought her back.
We beg Madam Ru to spare the Wang family's lives, out of consideration for their years of nurturing.
"The kindness of raising and nurturing." Lady Ru smiled as she listened.
"Indeed, no matter what, it is thanks to you that Man'er was brought back that she was able to survive."
The Wang family was overjoyed; had this worked?
"Yes, madam, please spare our lives. Our whole family will serve you like slaves to repay you."
Lady Ru nodded and said to the lady-in-waiting, "Take them away."
The Wang family left, expressing their gratitude profusely. Wang Chunni glanced at Madam Ru in a moment of surprise and delight.
Madam Ru had already lowered her head, her expression inscrutable.

"Madam?" the lady-in-waiting inquired.
Madam Ru said in a low voice, "Since that's the case, then let's give them a quick death."
This can be considered as repaying them for raising Man'er for those three years.
