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

Chapter 298 It wasn't long before the old man resorted to his old tricks again.
"What exactly happened? Why was there an explosion? What did you do? Where are the others?"

Lu Lingyun and Lu Shuxue also came downstairs, apparently alerted by the sound of the explosion.

Upon hearing Sheng Wanqiu's series of questions, Lu Yu caught his breath and struggled to stand up, a look of embarrassment on his face.

“We were strolling down the street when we saw an old man get knocked down. Tangtang went to help him up, but the old man insisted that we were the ones who knocked him down.”

"When they asked us to pay them money, Tangtang started arguing with them. In the end, when we saw that more and more people were coming, I thought it would be better to settle things with money. We were in an unfamiliar place, so it was best not to cause any conflict. I decided to pay them fifty taels of silver, and that was the end of it!"

"Who knew that we would enter a small tavern and soon see the old man using the same trick again, and we would realize that we had been tricked and had encountered a swindler."

"As you know, I couldn't stop these two at all. Tangtang and Miss Han rushed down to confront the old man, but he pretended to be pitiful. The group of people he was deceiving thought that Tangtang and Miss Han were bullies who were trying to harass him, and the two sides started arguing as soon as they disagreed."

"I saw the old man who was the culprit was about to run away, so I told the younger ones not to wander around in the tavern and I went after him. But this guy was as slippery as an eel, and he disappeared into the alleys by turning east and west."

"When I came back, I saw that they had been caught in a net and taken away!"

Lu Yu looked like a little dog rolling in the mud, covered in dirt. Every time he spoke or shook his head, the dirt on his head would fall off in a swish.

Lu Li quickly poured his younger brother a cup of tea. Lu Yu glanced gratefully at his older brother, picked up the cup, and drank it.

"Auntie, you have no idea, that net was even flashing with golden light. It caught Tangtang and the others in one go. Even though my brother knows martial arts, he couldn't break free. It's amazing!"

Yu Guijiao shuddered as she recalled the scene just now. Luckily, the younger ones hadn't gone out, otherwise they would have been easy targets.

"Then what happened to all of you being covered in dirt?" Lu Lingyun asked.

"Where are the others?" Sheng Wanqiu asked anxiously.

"I saw them being taken away, so I took the three younger ones and followed behind them. We watched as they were dragged into a courtyard, and we hid outside to watch, hoping to find a chance to rescue them!"

"I didn't expect the yard to explode at this time! I quickly pressed the boys down to the ground. I sensed something was wrong, so I ran back to find you guys!"

"Then hurry up and let's not waste any time. You three little ones stay here, Brother Lu, please take care of them for me!"

"Sister Yun, Shuxue, let's go. Little Brother Lu, you lead the way, hurry up!"

Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, Sheng Wanqiu knew that the explosives she had given to Han Qingqing and Lu Tangyun had been used by those two tigresses. She wondered if they themselves had been injured. If they hadn't dodged properly, she estimated that they could have injured 10,000 enemies and 30,000 of their own people.

At Sheng Wanqiu's call, the other three quickly sprang into action, each bringing their capable subordinates with them.

Lu Li had no choice but to stay and take care of the three little ones who were covered in dust and dirt. He arranged for the innkeeper to take them to take a bath and also had to inform Qiao Wenyuan, who had already heard about the commotion.

Sheng Wanqiu's group was very fast, after all, they were all skilled in martial arts, and each of them was no slower than Usain Bolt. But when they arrived at Lu Yu's courtyard, a scene that left everyone dumbfounded appeared before their eyes. A dozen or so people were hanging upside down from the trees, caught in nets. It looked very strange, especially like the scene in Journey to the West where Pigsy was caught in a net by fairies. What was going on?

"Wanqiu, Yunmei, we're here!"

That was Han Qingqing's voice. Then, when Sheng Wanqiu looked up, she saw that Han Qingqing and Lu Tangyun were actually standing in the tree. Of course, her other nephews were also sitting on the branches!
Sheng Wanqiu was not blind, of course. She also saw a young man of about thirty standing next to Han Qingqing. How to describe him? He looked a bit effeminate, with an androgynous appearance. Overall, he was handsome and dashing, especially when he smiled, his phoenix eyes had a sinister quality.

"This is my ninth martial uncle, Qin You. He saved us. Hehe, isn't my ninth martial uncle handsome? Doesn't he look a lot like a woman?"

Han Qingqing's smug voice rang out, and then Qin You almost slapped her off the tree. She was so frightened that she quickly grabbed a nearby branch to avoid falling.

"Hello, I am Qin You, this girl's ninth uncle. It's a pleasure to meet you!"

"Especially you, Sheng girl!"

Qin You showed goodwill towards Sheng Wanqiu, suppressing his evil nature. You should know that he deals with poisons all day long, and coupled with his innate ruthlessness, anyone who sees him will shrink back.

Among his thirteen fellow disciples, quite a few knew how to use poison, since medicine and poison are inseparable, but only he was called "Old Poison Master," which was due to his own actions.

"Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you too. We often hear Sister Han talk about you!"

Sheng Wanqiu stared at Qin You with bright eyes, her tone very enthusiastic. You see, she had wanted that little red frog last time, and now that he was here, the little red frog should be within her reach.

Besides, they didn't mean any harm. Although they seemed a bit intimidating, they were still Sister Han's senior martial uncle, and the one who was particularly skilled in using poison. If they were to offend them, a single dose of poison would probably kill them all. It was better to be polite.

"Hey! You're being so polite now! Just let us out! We're from Tianqi, we're going to attend the Grand Court Assembly!"

"Who exactly are you! You've offended us, and you'll regret it!"

The people who were tied up like dumplings and hung upside down on the tree were so angry that they saw that the girls ignored them and even started chatting with them.

Being hung upside down was already uncomfortable, and then someone poisoned me. Now I feel weak all over, want to vomit but can't, and my head is spinning.

"Are you from the Tianqi Kingdom? Are you sure?"

Sheng Wanqiu looked at the young man who was speaking. Mainly because the man was caught in the net and hanging upside down from the tree, it was really difficult to see what he looked like. Judging from his voice, he was a young man.

"Hmph! So what if you're from Tianqi? I'm still a princess of Dayue, and you still managed to catch me like a fish in a net!"

"Hey Ninth Uncle, quick, give them some more poison, poison them all into being mute!"
