The evil sister is in charge, and the mother is getting married

Chapter 259 Is this pile of junk from the Lu family mansion?
Coupled with this dilapidated courtyard that has been vandalized, with door frames missing, houses without roofs, and walls collapsed into a single line, tsk tsk tsk, even a thief would shed a tear of sympathy upon arriving.

Sheng Wanqiu walked to the door and looked back. Tsk tsk tsk, wouldn't it be even more fitting if it snowed?

"Girl, are you close to this Fei Yuhe? Why do I feel like this guy's smile is so sinister? He's bringing wine and food, something seems off about this kid!"

"Hey! Stop eating, Dad's talking to you!"

Sheng Wanqiu sighed deeply, reluctantly putting down the braised pork knuckle in her hand, and rolled her eyes at Qiao Wenyuan, who was sitting to her left, with a very helpless expression.

“Dad, this is the eighth time you’ve spoken ill of Hua Man Lou since we entered. We’re here to spend money. This table of food must have cost a lot. As the owner, what’s wrong with giving us a few free dishes when we’re big spenders like you?”

"This is a marketing tactic. They're probably hoping we'll come back to patronize their business again. Do they think they'd take a liking to me?"

"Come on, Dad, I'll share half of this big pork knuckle with you!"

As soon as Sheng Wanqiu finished speaking, she took action and tore her half-eaten pork knuckle in half, putting the uneaten side into Qiao Wenyuan's plate, trying to shut him up.

Qiao Wenyuan glanced at the tender, braised pork knuckle in the dish, then at Sheng Wanqiu who was already devouring the meat. He smacked his lips a few times. Well, it seems he was just overthinking it.

However, based on his intuition, he felt that Fei Yu and this kid had ill intentions. Seeing Sheng Wanqiu's obsequious manner made him extremely unhappy, even more so than when he saw Lu Li, that little fox.

But his daughter's attitude made him wonder if he was overthinking things. His little daughter did indeed treat Fei Yuhe like a servant, summoning him at will. She would refuse to serve the waiter and instead ask Fei Yuhe to take her orders, and Fei Yuhe would happily come over, acting very obediently. It was really too strange.

However, Qiao Wenyuan was overthinking it. Fei Yuhe really didn't have any romantic feelings for Sheng Wanqiu. For a man like him who hadn't yet achieved his great ambitions, only grand plans and achievements were his pursuits. Romantic feelings were not a priority for him at the moment.

However, he only admired Sheng Wanqiu, especially when he saw her bombard the Qian family's roof, that admiration reached its peak.

What surprised him even more was that Sheng Wanqiu was able to develop weapons; wasn't this the partner he was looking for?

He has money, and Sheng Wanqiu has brains, ability, and courage. If they join forces, how can they not achieve great things!
That's why he started to fawn over Sheng Wanqiu. When he saw that Sheng Wanqiu had brought people over for dinner, serving her food and wine was just routine. He mainly wanted to curry favor with her!

"Old Joe! Let's drink, let's drink!"

“We’re getting old. Young people have their own ideas, and we can’t keep up.”

"Your little girl is so smart, who could fool her? Don't worry, cheers!"

Lu Heng, sitting next to Qiao Wenyuan, naturally heard what Qiao Wenyuan said and saw his old friend occasionally casting glares at Fei Yuhe, who was bringing wine and dishes into the private room.

This old man is such a busybody. Sheng Wanqiu looks like a little fox with all her fur on her sleeve. Who could possibly lie to her? We should be grateful she doesn't lie to anyone.

"You old codger, drink less. I reckon you'll definitely be going to the palace tomorrow. Don't get too drunk, or you'll be too embarrassed to get up!"

Qiao Wenyuan glanced at him sideways and rolled his eyes, but still picked up the wine cup on the table. "I can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, how about we have a contest?"

"Back in the day, when we were drinking with the late emperor, you were so drunk you couldn't even get up, and I had to carry you back! So much time has passed in the blink of an eye! Ah, time flies!"

Lu Heng was suddenly filled with emotion, and a sense of melancholy welled up in his heart.

Seeing my son get beaten today, I feel both sad and upset. Although it's said that a father is to blame for not teaching his son properly, Lu Zhi deserved to have his son beaten.

But he and his son also had this problem. If they hadn't been away fighting on the front lines back then, leaving their child to be raised by the late emperor's concubines, and he hadn't grown up surrounded by women, he wouldn't have developed such a effeminate personality.

Although the couple later realized their mistake and took their son to the military for rigorous training, they couldn't simply change a personality ingrained from childhood. Ultimately, they also bear some responsibility for their son's current situation.

"How dare you say that? You call that carrying on your back? You're just slinging it over your shoulder!"

"I was perfectly fine, but you stubbornly carried me upside down until I threw up, and now you have the nerve to say that?"

"What do you mean by old age? We call this 'still sharp as ever'! You won't admit you're uncultured, you brat! Drink up, drink up, we won't leave until we're drunk!"

Having worked together for so many years, Qiao Wenyuan could tell at a glance that something was wrong with Lu Heng, so he immediately changed the subject and started making jokes.

"You old rascal, you're so vengeful! I'm not afraid of you! Hahaha, drink up, let's drink until we're drunk!"

Lu Heng's emotions came and went quickly, which was perhaps a common problem for military generals. Moreover, he couldn't be provoked, so the two old men immediately started toasting each other.

Sheng Wanqiu winked at Lu Shuxue, and the two of them suppressed their laughter at the same time. Old people are like children, just like that.

They were having a good time, but when Qiao Guanjie and Jiang Hui came out of the palace, they received a report from the servants that their father had led a group of people to cause trouble at Lu Zhi's residence, and that the commotion was quite large.

The two immediately ran to Lu Zhi's residence, intending to support their father. In fact, they were mainly afraid that their father would make too much of a scene and that the old Prince Wu'an would take his anger out on them.

"My eldest sister and brother-in-law are the best! My brother-in-law hasn't come back from visiting relatives in his hometown yet, so I don't have to be on edge with worry. Sigh!"

Jiang Hui sighed, genuinely envious that Qiao Ruoxuan and Yu Wanxiu weren't home, while hurrying to keep up with Qiao Guanjie's pace, afraid of falling behind.

"Just because those two aren't going doesn't mean no one from their family is going. All four of their sons went with them. I don't even want to think about what kind of mess they'll make of the Lu mansion. Let's go!"

Qiao Guanjie quickened his pace, running with incredible agility.

"Right, right, I almost forgot, my sister-in-law can make bombs, hurry up!" Jiang Hui suddenly remembered this and started running.

Then the two of them stared at each other in front of the Lu residence. Was this pile of junk part of the Lu residence?
