The evil sister is in charge, and the mother is getting married
Chapter 328 is not good at all.
Chapter 328 is not good at all.
"Just follow orders, kid. This isn't something you can understand. Get out of here!"
Sheng Wanqiu gave Lu Yu a sharp look, then pushed him aside and stood next to Lu Li, laying out the competition rules in front of everyone.
Everyone else had already seen it, and she had only just seen it herself. She had been too busy talking to Jin Sanbao to look at it at all, so she took it and handed it to Lu Li.
The competition consists of ten rounds, all of which are simple and easy to understand, and not difficult at all. They are in the arts category, including music, chess, calligraphy, and painting.
These four basic types are: sports, martial arts tournaments, polo, horseback archery and hunting, and pitching pot.
Embroidery? Carving? What the hell is this?
Moreover, both men and women can participate in the competition, which emphasizes gender equality.
Sheng Wanqiu felt that this competition was less exciting than watching street performances. She was only interested in polo and archery, which she thought were worth watching. Compared to the sporting competitions of her previous life, it was nothing special.
At least there are diving and swimming events, where a bunch of handsome guys strip down to their underwear!
It's so pleasing to the eye and beautiful, how satisfying!
"Dad, can you embroider? Why are you comparing this? Isn't this ridiculous?" Sheng Wanqiu said with a bitter face. She was about to burst out laughing. What kind of nonsense was this?
Why not have a cooking competition? She could demonstrate how to flip a wok!
Honestly, this is even more childish than kids playing house!
"You don't understand, do you? You should know that there was once a person who could embroider with both hands at the same time, and he could even embroider with flying needles!" Lu Heng, the old prince of Wu'an, interrupted.
"You're not talking about someone named Dongfang Bubai, are you? To practice this skill, one must first castrate oneself. I guess only he could do that!" Sheng Wanqiu exclaimed in shock. Good heavens, did she wander into the wrong movie set?
"What 'Invincible in the East, Defeated in the West'? His name is Liang Qi. He is the only son of the former prime minister of the Wei Kingdom. He was quite the celebrity back then! Moreover, his literary talent is no less than your old man's! He is also as handsome as Prince Lu."
"But then, during a drunken incident, someone chopped off both his hands! He apparently died in a fire. I was really upset about it for a while back then, sigh!"
Qiao Wenyuan shook his head helplessly and sighed.
Son of a former high-ranking official of the Wei Kingdom?
Sheng Wanqiu and Lu Lingyun looked at each other, instinctively feeling that something was fishy about this. Someone who was capable and good-looking had his hand chopped off in the end.
Is my father, the Prime Minister, just a figurehead?
Just as the group finished their discussion, they heard a commotion in the courtyard. Judging from the sound, they knew that Lu Guan and the others had returned, otherwise there wouldn't have been such a commotion.
"Wanqiu, come out quickly! Little Curly saw the people who tied him up, and we've brought him back!"
Lu Tangyun's loud and boisterous voice quickly reached the ears of Sheng Wanqiu and the others. This little curly-haired girl was pretty, and ever since she learned to talk, she had become quite sweet-talking.
Seeing the two large Buddha statues, everyone called him "Great-Grandpa" because everyone doted on him. Even the annoying Lu Shiyun never acted arrogantly towards Little Curly Hair.
It's clear how adorable this little kid is. As soon as they heard about him, they all rushed into the yard and saw a middle-aged man with a black eye.
He was bound tightly, his mouth gagged (perhaps Sister Han had poisoned him), and he was dragged into the courtyard by Lu Tangyun like a dead dog, looking completely dazed. Lu Tangyun would occasionally jump up and kick his buttocks, as if she wanted to cripple him.
"Alright, stop hitting him. If you kill him, what will you get out of him? What exactly happened?" Sheng Wanqiu stopped Lu Tangyun's actions and asked the people who had just come in from outside the courtyard.
"Sister Wanqiu, he's a bad person! He's the one who put me in a sack."
The little curly-haired boy was the first to jump out, his aggrieved little expression and red eyes made Sheng Wanqiu's heart ache.
"Let me tell you. We went to a pastry shop to buy some snacks, and then this guy came in too. When he saw Curly Hair, he turned around and ran away."
"Then Little Curly Hair said that this person put him in a sack, so we arrested him. This guy was very stubborn and wouldn't say anything, so Han Qingqing poisoned him. He was brought back to us in a daze, waiting for you to make a decision."
Lu Guan gave a general account of what had happened, omitting the part about how the women had brutally beaten the man. He figured that even if he didn't say anything, Sheng Wanqiu would already know what had happened.
Before this, when Sheng Wanqiu slept with Xiao Juanmao, she asked Xiao Juanmao where his home was.
The little curly-haired boy only said that the walls of his house were very high, the garden was very big, and there was a pond in the middle with beautiful fish in it. He couldn't get any other information from the boy.
When asked who his mother was, he only said that his mother was lying in bed, very thin, and spoke very softly. He always went to see her secretly so that no one else could find out, otherwise he would not have anything to eat.
Most of the time when he sneaked over, his mother was asleep. But the last time he went, she was awake. She touched his head and told him to sneak out to find someone. Before he could hear her clearly, she fell asleep again.
That evening, he was able to eat a large bowl of rice, which was a rare treat, and then, in a daze, he was stuffed into a cloth bag.
Judging from his appearance, this man is the murderer who impersonated the curly-haired boy. Otherwise, he wouldn't have turned and run away as soon as he was seen. He must have felt guilty or was in a hurry to go back and report to his master. Judging from his attire, he is most likely a butler or a junior steward.
"Sister Han, give him the antidote!" Sheng Wanqiu wanted to find out who Little Curly was. Since Little Curly couldn't explain, the only way to find out the truth was to get it from this person.
Han Qingqing pulled a slender silver needle from her collar. This move startled Lu Guan, who took several steps back. Good heavens, is this woman a hedgehog? How come she's covered in thorns?
The sisters were all stunned. They knew they must never put their arms around Sister Han again. They were afraid that she might accidentally prick them with a needle she had hidden on her body and kill them. That would be such an unjust death!
Han Qingqing didn't see the crowd retreating in unison. She strode forward and stabbed at the man's neck.
Good heavens, two-thirds of the long silver needle has gone in!
Everyone instinctively covered their necks, mainly because what they saw was a bit creepy, and they couldn't help but feel a chill on their necks.
Lu Heng's legs went weak, and before he could even grab the door frame, he caught Qiao Wenyuan, who was clutching his neck and also collapsing against him.
The two old men were quite frightened. They supported each other and decided to leave first, as they were too old to withstand such a brutal scene.
