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

Chapter 296 You're not hungry, but she is.
Apart from the few women who entered the shop, the guards all sat on the ground and ate directly, which was arranged by Lu Yu.

"Father, this way please, Uncle Wu. Shuxue has already made arrangements," Sheng Wanqiu said with a smile as she walked to Qiao Wenyuan's side.

"Please, Your Excellency!" Qiao Wenyuan paid no attention to Sheng Wanqiu's address to the Marquis of Xiaoyao and gestured for Wu Yao to enter. He had great confidence in his little daughter.

It's a good thing that the elders like their own little girl; it just shows how excellent Sheng Wanqiu is. Why care about these details? It's really unnecessary.

"Grand Tutor Qiao, please go first!" Wu Yao also smiled and gestured for Qiao Wenyuan to go first, showing him great respect.

He had heard of the old man's debate with the scholars back then, which made him a meritorious official of the Great Yue Kingdom. Half of the civil officials in the Great Yue Kingdom were his students. Although he was old now, he was still very capable.

"You two should both invite each other. If you keep going back and forth like this, the noodles will get soggy and won't taste good anymore. Hurry up and invite them!" Sheng Wanqiu really wanted to roll her eyes at the sight of the two of them going back and forth.

You're not hungry, but she is. Although she just ate two pieces of jujube cake that Lu Li gave her, it was no use at all. She didn't care about that anymore, so she grabbed one of them with each arm and dragged them quickly into the noodle shop.

Qiao Wenyuan and Wu Yao almost lost their shoes because of her dragging them, and they hurriedly followed Sheng Wanqiu into the noodle shop.

After pressing the two big shots down onto the chairs, Sheng Wanqiu finally saw the lunch that Lu Shuxue had arranged on the table: a bowl of chicken noodle soup for each person, along with braised tofu, braised beef, a plate of blanched green vegetables, and a plate of unidentified pickled vegetables. The restaurant thoughtfully served tea as well.

The food looked very clean and hygienic. Considering it was just a roadside stall, this arrangement was already quite good.

The two big shots, along with Sheng Wanqiu, Lu Li, Lu Lingyun, and Qiao Yuchen, sat at one table. Han Qingqing and Lu Tangyun, along with Sheng Wanqiu's eight nephews and Lu Yu, sat on the other side. Wu Yao's personal guard sat at a separate table, making a total of four tables.

"Don't move, let me check for poison first!"

Just as everyone was about to pick up their chopsticks, Lu Tangyun, the idiot, interrupted them with a shout. Everyone was speechless. See? This girl's thought process is definitely not ordinary.

This kind of thing can be done secretly, why make such a fuss? And when did this girl learn how to test for drugs? Is this her job?!
The noodle shop owner standing nearby turned pale. What did this mean? Did they think he was stupid? This was the royal team! Did they want to lose their heads? They even dared to poison him! Were they planning a game of "Eliminating Nine Clans"?
"Hehe, these are my sister Han's silver needles. I'll borrow them to see how they work!"

Lu Tangyun was startled by the several pairs of eyes staring at her, and immediately explained in a low voice. Of course, her hands did not stop. She quickly poked at the bowls of the others a few times, and then looked at them with a mysterious air.

"It's not poisonous, everyone can eat it!"

"Boss, you're a law-abiding citizen, keep up the good work! Keep it up!"

After saying that, Lu Tangyun ran away, leaving the bewildered boss and Sheng Wanqiu's table of people looking at each other in an awkward silence.

Sheng Wanqiu gestured to Han Qingqing to keep an eye on this idiot, and Han Qingqing returned her a helpless look.

Marquis Wu Yao has now completely ruled out the Third Princess of Dayue in his mind; no matter who his nephew marries, he cannot marry her.

Good heavens, he didn't even dare to think that if he married this silly princess, the intelligence of their Northern Xu Kingdom's prince would definitely plummet, which would be a devastating blow.

After a peaceful lunch and a short rest, the group continued its journey.

At this moment, Sheng Wanqiu gave up riding a horse and took out a simple deck of cards that she had asked Granny Qiu to make. She had drawn these cards with her nephews and nieces to pass the time on the road. "Uncle Wu, come on, I'll teach you how to play cards. It's so much fun! Come on up!"

Sheng Wanqiu pulled Wu Yao, the Marquis of Xiaoyao, into Qiao Wenyuan's carriage, then waved the cards at the remaining people and said, "One person is still missing. Who wants to play? Whoever comes in first gets to play!"

After saying that, she smiled smugly and immediately returned to the carriage.

Just like a scene from a Stephen Chow movie, where someone shouted "Protect the Emperor!" and then everyone squeezed into the tent, it was the same here. In less than three seconds, nine people squeezed into Qiao Wenyuan's fairly spacious carriage.

"Hey, hey, hey, who stepped on my foot? It hurts so much!"

"Let go of me! Stop pulling my hair! I'm going bald!"

"I am a marquis! Whoever robbed me, show yourself!"

"Who ripped my sleeve? They almost tore my clothes off!"

"Hey, I'm an old man and I'm so crowded I don't even have room anymore, move aside!"

"Get off! I'm your cousin! Is it appropriate for you to sit on my lap? Get off now!"

The carriage was like a noisy market. Lu Tangyun, Han Qingqing, Lu Li, Yu Guiqing, Yu Guiyue, and Jiang Hexi all got in. Of course, there were others who couldn't squeeze in and were pushed out.

This is when you can see the importance of martial arts training. Apart from Lu Li, who was nearby and rushed up immediately, none of the other students who studied literature came up.

"Alright! Guiqing, here you go. Take them to play in the other carriage!" Sheng Wanqiu was squeezed into a corner and could only take out another deck of cards and hand it to Er Yu.

Qiao Wenyuan echoed Sheng Wanqiu's words, glaring at her. No one else could say anything, but everyone from the Qiao family left. Lu Tangyun and Han Qingqing stubbornly stayed in the carriage.

Lu Li, Qiao Wenyuan, Sheng Wanqiu, and Wu Yao, the Marquis of Xiaoyao, sat in a circle in the carriage, and Sheng Wanqiu began to teach them how to play Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game).

The other two sat down behind Sheng Wanqiu and solemnly promised that they would not say anything out of line. Only then did Sheng Wanqiu reluctantly agree to let them stay.

On an early autumn afternoon, the sunlight poured down like molten gold onto the exceptionally quiet official road. The only sound was the rumbling of the carriages turning. The sky was so blue that a few white clouds drifted leisurely among them.

"Lu Li, I'm your sister! Can't you be a little more considerate of me? Why do you always steal my cards!"

"Third girl, if you're not as skilled as others, don't try to show off!"

"Hey! Old Man Qiao, no, Grand Tutor Qiao, who are you on? You were sitting behind me, and you said you'd give me some pointers, but this is how you gave me pointers?"

"I don't care, let's start over! Let's play another round!"

"Third Princess, could you please stick the note back on before starting again? Do you think you, the Third Princess of Great Yue, are going to deny it?"
