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

Chapter 297 The Letter Has Arrived
"Hey! Lord Xiaoyao, open your eyes and look at my face, is there anywhere left to stick this on? I don't care, if I lose the next round, we'll stick it on together!"

"Hahahahahaha!"

"Sister Han, go easy on me a little. Why are you taking it so seriously? It's like I'm the only one here with bad card skills!"

"That's because your card skills are really bad, Tangtang!"

"Aaaaaah! I'm going to go all out against you guys with the best card skills this round!"

"Hahaha, bring it on, girl!"

Lu Lingyun and Sheng Wanqiu were riding on horseback when they heard a sound coming from the carriage behind them. They looked at each other and burst out laughing at the same time.

Years later, when the two talked about this scene, they couldn't help but laugh. Isn't this the truest reflection of a peaceful and happy life?

Inside the Imperial Study of the Northern Xu Palace.

"Your Majesty, the Marquis's letter has arrived!" Emperor Wu Zhiyu of Beixu took the letter from his personal eunuch Jin Sanbao and quickly opened it, reading it in a few lines at a glance.

"Sanbao, have someone expedite the preparation of accommodations for the Da Yue group. Focus on the largest courtyard, Xuezhu Garden, and make sure it's ready for the people of Da Yue!"

"And the furnishings inside must be the best. Make sure the servants inside are on their best behavior. Go and get it done!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will arrange it right away!" Jin Sanbao didn't even think twice before running off.

Wu Zhiyu picked up the letter his uncle Wu Yao had written to him again and started reading it. He couldn't help but laugh. It seemed that his uncle had really messed up this time. He had a good plan, but who knew that none of the princesses of Dayue were normal? It was hilarious.

His uncle is good in every way, except he loves to urge him to get married and have children. If he's really in such a hurry, why doesn't he get married again himself? He's only in his forties now, he's got the will and the ability to do anything, and maybe he can even give him a little brother!
Of course, he dared not say these things; if he had, he would have been torn to pieces.

He was quite curious about the commoner princess of Dai Viet mentioned in his uncle's letter. His uncle was always very picky about people, and someone he praised so highly must be an exceptionally outstanding person.

At this moment, this exceptionally talented person, Sheng Wanqiu, has led her team to a town, Pingjiang Town, which is where they will rest tonight.

Lu Yu and Lu Shuxue have already gone to the inn, and all of the hundred or so people have been arranged to stay in an inn called Guilai.

As the group entered, no one noticed the exchange of glances between Lu Li and the innkeeper.

That's right, this inn is one of Lu Li's businesses.

The waiter led them up to the second floor. Looking at the furnishings in the inn, Sheng Wanqiu felt they looked familiar, as if she had seen them somewhere before, but she couldn't quite place them.

The bedding was very clean and tidy, and the room was already lit with a pleasant fragrance, which made Sheng Wanqiu very satisfied with the innkeeper's thoughtfulness.

She thought it was arranged in advance by Lu Shuxue and the others, but little did she know that someone else had made the arrangements beforehand.

"Wanqiu, can I sleep in the same room with you tonight?" Lu Tangyun grabbed Sheng Wanqiu's shoulder and started tugging at her clothes, acting coquettishly. "You're dreaming!" Sheng Wanqiu didn't hold back at all, giving her a look that told her to figure it out herself.

"Ugh! I'll go find Sister Han then!" Knowing that her trick wouldn't work on Sheng Wanqiu, Lu Tangyun left and ran off to find Han Qingqing. Even if Han Qingqing didn't work, there was always Lu Shuxue. Anyway, she wouldn't tell them that she was mainly afraid of the dark and ghosts and didn't dare to sleep alone.

Of course, she wouldn't go to her older sister Lu Lingyun either, because in her eyes Lu Lingyun was more terrifying than a ghost.

During dinner that evening, Sheng Wanqiu finally understood what was going on; a plate of braised pork had completely exposed Lu Li's secret.

No wonder the decorations here look so familiar! And the shopkeeper is exceptionally warm and attentive; it turns out this place is also one of Lu Li's properties.

"Brother Lu, you really are a hidden talent!" Sheng Wanqiu found an opening to sidle up to Lu Li and winked at him.

"Shh!" Lu Li immediately understood Sheng Wanqiu's meaning. This little girl had figured it out; her insight was unmatched. He immediately made a shushing gesture.

"You're something else! Making money off your own people, what a shrewd businessman! Humph!" Sheng Wanqiu silently gave him a thumbs up.

Judging from this situation, even Lu Yu, that idiot, probably doesn't know that this is his older brother's business. He's still so busy. Tsk tsk tsk, they're born of the same parents, how come there's such a big difference?

After dinner, it was still early, and Lu Tangyun couldn't stay still. She insisted on going out for a stroll, complaining that she was still locked up in the palace every day. She was so glad to finally be able to go out. If she wasn't allowed to go out, she would cry herself blind!

Hearing such an absurd reason, Sheng Wanqiu was also at a loss and could only let her go. Lu Yu, the four sons of the Yu family, the four sons of the Jiang family, plus Han Qingqing, the whole group went out for a stroll.

Sheng Wanqiu just wanted to lie in bed and meet with Morpheus. What was there to do at night in ancient times? Apart from brothels, there was no nightlife at all. It was really boring!

Lu Lingyun and Lu Shuxue were too lazy to go, and Qiao Yuchen didn't dare to go. She was really scared after being kidnapped by human traffickers last time. In addition, she was forced into the stable by Lu Yu a few days ago. She felt that she didn't know martial arts and it was safest to stay in the inn.

Qiao Wenyuan and Wu Yao had been traveling by carriage all day, and like Sheng Wanqiu, they just wanted to lie down and rest to conserve their energy for another day of travel tomorrow!

Lu Li then found a quiet moment to talk to the innkeeper.

After washing up, Sheng Wanqiu immediately rushed to Rou Ran's bed. Riding a horse and sitting in a carriage was too much for her slender waist. She drank a bottle of spiritual spring water to restore her strength, closed her eyes, and immediately went to find the Duke of Zhou (a figure in Chinese mythology associated with dreams).

After an unknown amount of time, Sheng Wanqiu was awakened by the sound of explosions. Moreover, it wasn't just one explosion; several explosions in succession immediately jolted Sheng Wanqiu awake from her drowsy state.

Immediately afterwards, there was a knock on Sheng Wanqiu's door.

"Wanqiu, get up quickly, let's go see! Tangtang and the others have been arrested!" Lu Li's voice rang out from outside, sounding very urgent.

Sheng Wanqiu quickly got dressed, opened the door, and saw Lu Li standing anxiously at the door.

"Let's go! They've got some nerve, daring to touch our people!"

The two quickly went downstairs and saw Lu Yu and Qiao's three youngest nephews sitting in the inn's lobby, looking disheveled and panting heavily. Seeing how miserable they looked, Sheng Wanqiu knew that they had met a tough opponent this time.
