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

The meaning of Chapter 327 is self-evident!

Compared to the other countries, if Dayue and Beixu were to form an alliance, at least Dayue would be guaranteed not to be attacked from both sides, and would not be attacked from behind by Liangxia and Tianqi.

"Don't be nervous, Mr. Jin. I just wanted to ask you to prepare a copy for me in advance when other countries submit their entry lists, so that we can delay submitting our entry lists."

"That's it?" Jin Sanbao was a little dumbfounded. He had made such a big fuss, but he could have easily handled this little thing behind the scenes. He thought it was something big.

It scared him half to death!

"Yes, that's it!"

"As the saying goes, 'Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.' As long as you help me with this, first of all, I'm not a stingy person, and you certainly know that!"

"The most important thing is that helping me is helping yourselves. I'm not afraid for you to go back and tell your emperor that as long as you help me this time, I will not only not stop his recent actions, but I will also put in a good word for him!"

After Sheng Wanqiu finished speaking, she winked playfully at Jin Sanbao, the meaning of which was self-evident!

“Alright! Princess Yonghe, just you wait and see! This little thing can be handled by me all by myself. Okay! Wait for my good news!” Jin Sanbao immediately made an OK sign, which he had learned from Sheng Wanqiu when he came to deliver ingredients last time.

Who knows, the Great Yue Kingdom might become their in-laws in the future. It's just a small time difference, and it's not like they're going to rebel. It's a piece of cake. They're not asking him to poison the food in other countries. It's not difficult at all.

"Hahaha! Great! Looking forward to your good news!" Sheng Wanqiu also responded with an OK sign. She genuinely thought that Jin Sanbao was a wonderful person. Talking to him was so comfortable and effortless; he understood everything immediately.

She was so tempted to offer him a hefty sum to poach him and make him her housekeeper. She wouldn't even have to say a word; the job would be done perfectly, which would be so convenient!
"First Snow, you must have noticed by now, they're trying to isolate us!"

"Why are they all princesses? Why do they get to call the shots!"

"Can't you believe how infuriating they are! I haven't been able to eat or sleep well these past few days! I've lost weight, and I don't know how long I'll have to suffer like this!"

Lu Shiyun, with a bitter and resentful expression, grabbed Lu Chuxue's hand and began to complain incessantly, completely unaware of the eye roll Lu Chuxue was secretly giving her.

Lu Chuxue really wanted to shake off her hand. What the hell?
She's not a princess, and even if she were, so what?
If you don't have the strength, then stop showing off. You can't beat them in a fight, and you can't win a verbal battle either. She thinks it's best to just stay put for now.

Besides, her goal isn't to become king or conqueror. Even if she can't win over the Emperor of Beixu, winning over the princes of other countries would be good too, right?
Now that her mother's loan sharking has been exposed and she's been beaten half to death by her father, and her brother is a good-for-nothing, she doesn't want to stay in that chaotic home at all.

She might as well go out and try her luck. She's not ugly, and she's pretty smart. Anyway, this time she's just shooting in the dark. If she can't get the emperor, she'll get another prince. If all else fails, the son of a minister from another country will do. She just doesn't want to go back.

That's why she tearfully found her aunt and the eldest princess, and managed to squeeze into the team coming to Beixu for the competition. She wouldn't easily give up this hard-won opportunity; she wouldn't stoop to the level of that foolish second princess.

Not eating well?
Chun Chun is talking nonsense. She eats more than a pig, and just last night she stole the only chicken leg she had.
You should know that when she insisted on not coming out to eat, there was a chicken with two legs; one was given to her grandfather, and the other was given to the only girl at the table, as priority was given to the ladies.

As soon as Lu Shiyun arrived, good heavens, she got nothing. The fact that Lu Shiyun isn't turning against her now is already a huge favor! Not sleeping well? That's utter nonsense. Lu Shiyun lives right next door; how could she not know?
One of the royal princesses snores so loudly that it really keeps her from sleeping.

"Why aren't you saying anything? Haven't you noticed they're ostracizing us?"

After not hearing Lu Chuxue's response for a while, Lu Shiyun looked up and saw that Lu Chuxue's eyes were glazed over as if she was thinking about something else and had not heard what she said at all. She couldn't help but feel angry.

That little bitch Lu Chuxue is ignoring what she said, isn't she!

Damn it!

"Your Highness, what can I say? Am I supposed to go and pull their hair? With my small arms and legs, I'm no match for them, am I?"

"Don't even mention Princess Yonghe, my sister, who shares the same father, could tear me apart. So I think the most important thing for us right now is to find a way to get a spot in the competition, perform well, and try to get first place. Even if we don't get first place, third place would be good too!"

"I need to go practice calligraphy, so I'll have to go now! I don't have much time left!"

After Lu Chuxue finished speaking, she bowed respectfully and left with her maid, leaving Lu Shiyun furious, like an inflated pufferfish.

Their conversation was overheard by the people Lu Lingyun had secretly sent to monitor them. When Lu Lingyun found out, she thought her cousin Lu Chuxue was quite clever.

As long as she doesn't cause them any trouble, they can just treat her as another mascot; it's not a big deal. But the surveillance must continue. She needs to know the movements of everyone in the Great Yue Kingdom to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

In the Xuezhuyuan council hall, Sheng Wanqiu cleared the room, leaving behind the two Buddhas, the Lu brothers, and Lu Lingyun, and explained the deal she had just made with Jin Sanbao.

"Haha, my little daughter is so smart, well done!" Qiao Wenyuan laughed out loud.

"Isn't this cheating?" Lu Yu muttered weakly, and then was almost knocked out of his mind by a slap from the Prince of Wu'an standing next to him.

"That's called 'all's fair in war,' and you, a martial artist, don't even understand this basic principle!"

"Ah Li, teach this simple-minded but physically strong kid a good lesson later. You can't expect him to have all the wisdom in his body!"

Lu Li was speechless. Why did you have to drag me into this when you were scolding him? Then he couldn't help himself and punched Lu Yu again, making him grimace in pain.

"It's not that we're not going to compete; we just want to understand our opponents' strengths and our own weaknesses so we can better assemble our team and make the best of a situation."

“Real cheating isn’t like this. If I were to ask Sister Han to put some colorless and odorless poison in their food, not to kill them, but to make them weak and give them diarrhea, would they still have the energy to participate in the competition?”
