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

Chapter 288 Tch! Sycophant!
"Alright! Let's go! The carriage is waiting outside!" Lu Yu peeked out and saw that Qiao Wenyuan had walked away before he dared to relax and urge him on.

"Okay, we're all packed up now, let's go!"

Sheng Wanqiu had been here for so long and hadn't really gone out for sightseeing, so she was very interested in Lu Yu's invitation to go horseback riding together today.

"Auntie, where are you going? Can you take me with you?" Qiao Yuchen asked with a fawning smile, reaching out to grab Sheng Wanqiu's sleeve and starting to act coquettishly.

"Alright! One more or one less won't make a difference! Let's go!" Sheng Wanqiu now realized that her seniority had increased, and she often unconsciously treated the younger members of the Qiao family with a touch of doting. She immediately agreed.

"Hehe! Little Auntie is the best!" Qiao Yuchen smiled, her eyes narrowing.

"Tch! Sycophant!" Lu Tangyun rolled her eyes dismissively and muttered under her breath.

So the group of five walked out of the Qiao family's gate. The girls got into the carriage, and the two men drove straight to the horse farm outside the city.

When Qiao Yuyi finished tidying herself up and rushed out, there was no one left in the front hall. She only encountered the butler, who was holding a family law and had rushed over with a red face.

The two looked at each other in bewilderment. How could the person have disappeared in such a short time?
The butler sighed silently, realizing that all the legal maneuvering had been for nothing! This was just a waste of time!

The group of five had already left the city. The three girls inside the carriage lifted the curtains of the carriage. The scenery along the way was quite beautiful. It was already early autumn. Sunlight poured down from the azure sky, and the leaves shimmered with emerald green light under the sunlight.

A gentle breeze rustled the leaves, bringing a refreshing coolness and making the air outside feel exceptionally fresh. Lu Yu was quite skilled at driving the carriage, and the speed was also quite fast. Soon they arrived at their destination for the day's visit.

"Girls, don't rush to talk. Listen to my arrangements for today. If you don't think they're suitable, we can make adjustments." Lu Yu stopped the carriage, lifted the curtain, and called out to the passengers.

The three women chattered incessantly about everything under the sun throughout the journey. He truly understood the saying "three women make a drama," and their noise almost made it impossible for him to concentrate on catching the train.

"Tell us what you want! We'll listen to you!" Sheng Wanqiu said, having already jumped off the carriage and looking at the racetrack in front of her.

Although it's called a racecourse, judging from the surrounding fences, it looks more like a large farm, somewhat like a modern-day agritourism resort.

"Come on, follow me, we'll talk as we walk!" Lu Yu waved his hand, looking like a tour guide, all that was missing was a small flag.

The group followed him into the village, which was surrounded by green trees, lush flowers and plants, well-defined fields, and a sizable pond in the distance, forming a natural pastoral landscape.

"This estate was part of my mother's dowry. We usually farm here, raise chickens, ducks and geese, and there are fish in the pond over there. The racecourse is over there, and there are people who take care of the horses!"

"I'm planning to take you horseback riding first, then we'll have roast lamb for lunch, and in the afternoon we'll go fishing at the pond. What do you think?"

"Of course, this was all arranged by my older brother. I was responsible for execution and communication, hehe!"

Lu Yu hadn't seen his older brother speak the entire way, so he quickly steered the conversation towards him. He was now traumatized; whenever his brother was silent, he felt like he was plotting something to get back at him. He had no idea that his brother's absent-mindedness and silence today were simply because of a happy gesture Sheng Wanqiu made while drunk last night, which left him unsure how to face her.

"I didn't expect Brother Lu to be so good at this. Your arrangement is great. Let's do it your way. We have no objections and will listen to you. Can we go horseback riding now?"

Sheng Wanqiu rubbed her hands excitedly, mainly because she could already see the horses running freely in the distance, and her desire to ride a horse had reached its peak.

"Oh, okay!" Lu Li came back to his senses and saw Sheng Wanqiu looking at him with a smile. He couldn't help but feel his heart flutter again.

The main problem today is that Lu Lingyun isn't here. If Lu Lingyun were here, she would definitely have noticed that something was off about this guy. This boy's little schemes are really pretentious.

"Wow! Hahaha! I'm off now!"

Sheng Wanqiu tightened the reins, slapped the horse's rump, and the big black horse neighed and charged off like an arrow.

"Hey! Wait for me! I'm coming!"

Lu Tangyun also rode her horse and followed. She was a skilled horse rider, so she caught up quite easily.

Of the three girls, only Qiao Yuchen was still struggling with the gentle white horse she had chosen, making no progress whatsoever, and was still practicing mounting it.

"Big brother, look how fast Wanqiu learns! I only explained a few key points, and she can already ride a horse. Tsk tsk tsk, smart people really do learn everything quickly!"

Lu Yu was still chattering away, while Lu Li, who was slowly strolling on horseback, had a dark expression. What did that mean? Was his younger brother saying he was stupid?
"Hehe, big brother, I'm not saying you're stupid! You're already pretty good, at least you managed to get on. Look over there, hahaha, that's really stupid!"

As soon as Lu Yu finished speaking, Lu Li saw Qiao Yuchen, who was still struggling with the horse and couldn't get on, and his face darkened even more.

What they didn't know was that Sheng Wanqiu had a cheating artifact, the Spirit Spring Water. While the others were still choosing their horses, Sheng Wanqiu gave the Spirit Spring Water to the big black horse she had her eye on.

Based on the experience gained from the little donkey and the tiger, this spiritual spring water can awaken the intelligence of animals. Although it may not be able to make the animals speak, it is enough for them to at least understand what Sheng Wanqiu is saying.

And indeed, after drinking the spiritual spring water, the black horse's eyes became much smarter, and it could fully understand any instructions given by Sheng Wanqiu.

Moreover, Sheng Wanqiu threatened the black horse, saying that if it dared to kick her, she would kill it and eat it. Goodness, the black horse immediately realized that it had met a tough person today. Also, it was a horse and could not kick; only donkeys could kick.

Then a scene that shocked them unfolded: Sheng Wanqiu could mount her horse and run. She first strolled around for a bit, and then she was able to gallop at full speed.

Sheng Wanqiu sat on the black horse, feeling the wind blowing in her face. She was as happy as a bird, completely carefree.
