My wife is number one in the world

Upon hearing this, Qi Yun's pretty face instantly became curious.

"Oh? My husband, that's secondary. Then what is the main issue?"

Looking at the curious expression that suddenly appeared on his wife's beautiful face, Liu Mingzhi chuckled and gently brushed the hair beside her ear with his right hand.

"Yun'er, the main problem is that I need to give you sisters plenty of time to properly prepare the ingredients for the banquet for that guy Lei Jun."

When Qi Yun heard her husband's light laugh in response, her pretty face momentarily froze for a second, but she quickly recovered from her daze.

"What? Prepare the ingredients?"

Hearing Qi Yun's questioning tone, Liu Mingzhi nodded gently with an unchanged smile.

"Yes, that's right, it's about preparing the ingredients."

Upon hearing her husband's words, Qi Yun glanced at him and pondered for a moment before she understood what Young Master Liu meant.

"Husband, do you mean you plan to serve that fat Lei guy Yangzhou cuisine in three days?"

Upon seeing Qi Yun, Liu Shao immediately understood the meaning behind his words. With a smile on his face, he raised his arms and clapped his hands lightly, then extended his right arm and gave Qi Yun a thumbs up.

"Hahaha, my parents gave me life, but Yun'er understands me best!"

"My dear wife, you're right. I did intend to treat Lei Jun to Yangzhou cuisine."

As Liu Mingzhi spoke loudly, the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

Immediately, he frowned slightly, opened his mouth, and exhaled a long breath.

"Whoo~"

"Yun'er, you know Lei Jun's background. He's never short of money. What kind of delicacies can't he eat every day?"
Therefore, when I hosted a banquet for Lei Jun this time, I didn't prepare any special delicacies.

For those wandering far from home, no delicacy can compare to the home-cooked meals prepared by their mothers, followed by the hometown dishes they've eaten since childhood.

Unfortunately, our family is now in a foreign land, and I, as her husband, cannot ask Mrs. Lei to personally cook a table of dishes for her son.

Therefore, I had no choice but to settle for a table full of hometown dishes for him.

While those delicacies and dishes of meat and fish may look very sumptuous, none of them can warm your heart like a table full of hometown dishes!

Because of the friendship between my husband and Fatty Lei, he deserved a special meal of our hometown dishes prepared for him.

After listening to Young Master Liu's eloquent explanation, Qi Yun looked at him with a smile in her beautiful eyes and nodded slightly a few times.

"Mmm, I understand."

My husband, you've thought things through much better regarding hosting Fatty Lei.

Given the deep friendship between you two brothers since childhood, the sentiment behind it is far more important than any lavish display.

"My lord, I know I have no choice but to take care of it. You can leave this matter to my sisters. They will arrange everything perfectly for you, ensuring that Fatty Lei truly feels at home."

Upon hearing Qi Yun's solemn reply, Liu Mingzhi immediately nodded with a smile.

"Yes, yes, yes, I believe you."

No sooner had Liu Mingzhi finished speaking with a smile than the Third Princess Li Yan, who was sitting in a carved chair at the table, suddenly spoke.

"My lord, I have a suggestion."

Upon hearing the Third Princess's soft and melodious voice, Liu Mingzhi instinctively turned around and looked towards the source of the sound.

He looked at the Third Princess, who was now smiling at him, and said softly with a smile, "Yan'er, do you have any suggestions?"

Hearing her husband's curious question, the Third Princess gently pursed her luscious red lips twice, then gracefully stood up from the chair beneath her shapely bottom. She then walked lightly towards Young Master Liu.

“My lord, this is what I think: everyone has their own taste when it comes to food. For example, some people don’t like to eat scallions, some people don’t like to eat ginger, some people don’t like to eat garlic, and some people simply don’t like to eat certain foods.”

The Lei Pang you and Sister Yun were talking about earlier... uh... umm, even if Lei Jun, whom you and Sister Yun mentioned, is from Yangzhou, it doesn't necessarily mean he'll like all Yangzhou cuisine.

After all, everyone has things they don't like to eat.

Therefore, I believe that in addition to various Yangzhou dishes, we should also prepare a few dishes from other cuisines to be on the safe side.

After listening to the Third Princess's suggestion, Liu Mingzhi's eyes lit up.

"Yan'er, do you mean to have Yangzhou cuisine as the main dish, with a few other dishes as side dishes?"

Seeing her husband's sudden brightening reaction, the Third Princess smiled and nodded twice to Young Master Liu.

“My lord, that is exactly what I meant.”

While good intentions are important, dishes that are too monotonous are not quite right.

It's just adding a few more dishes, it's not a big deal, why don't we make sure everything is prepared properly?

As soon as the Third Princess finished speaking in her soft and melodious voice, Young Master Liu couldn't help but burst into loud laughter.

"Hahaha, hahaha~ hahahahaha."

"Very good, very good, very good, what a perfect solution!"

As Liu Mingzhi spoke loudly, he turned his head with a smile and looked back at Qi Yun's beautiful face.

"Good wife, did you see that? Did you praise me too soon?"
Compared to my previous thoughts, Yan'er's idea is clearly more thoughtful!

Looking at her husband's beaming face, Qi Yun nodded a few times in agreement with Young Master Liu.

“My dear husband, Yan’er is intelligent and kind-hearted, and her thoughts are more thoughtful than yours. Isn’t that normal?”

Upon hearing Qi Yun's words, Young Master Liu did not refute them; instead, he nodded without hesitation.

"Good Yun'er, you're right. This is indeed a very normal thing. After all, all of you sisters are my virtuous wives!"

As Qi Yun listened to her husband praising her group of best friends, she gave Young Master Liu a charmingly disdainful glare.

"Pah, what a disgrace!"

Liu Mingzhi took a deep breath with his lips slightly parted, and his expression gradually became serious.

"Yun'er, let's not joke around anymore. As for the matter of hosting Lei Jun, I'll leave it to you sisters."

"Oh, what's the big deal about it being hard work? This is all part of our duties as sisters," Qi Yun replied softly with a smile in her beautiful eyes as she saw her husband return to his serious demeanor.

Upon hearing this, Liu Mingzhi chuckled and nodded.

"Yun'er, besides the banquet for Lei Jun, there's also that brat Yue'er's ten thousand taels of silver. Once she gets back, you..."

Before Liu Mingzhi could finish speaking, a clear and melodious voice suddenly rang out from outside the courtyard gate not far away, interrupting his words.

"Good father, good mothers, good aunts, I'm back." Upon hearing the voice, Liu Mingzhi subconsciously turned around and looked in the direction of the voice. He saw the little cutie smiling brightly and walking towards him and his group with a carefree manner.

Seeing the little cutie swaggering around with such a powerful and energetic air, he immediately withdrew his gaze and chuckled as he shrugged at Qi Yun.

"Hehehe, Yun'er, look, it really is true that you can speak of the devil and he appears!"

Even I suspect that this girl overheard me talking about the ten thousand taels of silver from the main hall of the palace, and then flew straight back from there.”

Seeing how amusing Young Master Liu's words were, Qi Yun, the Third Princess, and all the other sisters couldn't help but chuckle.

"Pfft, giggle, giggle~ giggle."

"Pfft, hmm, giggle giggle giggle."

The little cutie walked up to Young Master Liu and stopped. With her stunningly beautiful face still beaming, she bowed to Young Master Liu, Qi Yun, the Third Princess, the Empress, Huang Lingyi and her husband, as well as Ren Qingrui and Gu Molanya.

"Good father, dear mothers, and two dear aunts, Yue'er greets you all."

Seeing this, Liu Mingzhi casually waved his hand.

"Alright, alright, forget it."

Immediately afterwards, Qi Yun, the Third Princess, and their sisters also raised their slender arms and waved to the little cutie.

"No need for formalities, no need for formalities."

"No need, no need."

"No need for formalities, please excuse the formalities."

"Hehehe, thank you so much, dear father, thank you so much, dear mothers, and thank you so much, dear aunts." The little cutie smiled and straightened her slender waist before thanking Young Master Liu and his group.

After Xiao Ke'ai finished greeting Liu Dashao, Qi Yun and the others, Lena and her sisters immediately bowed to Xiao Ke'ai in unison.

"Your Highness, we are your humble servant sisters."

Seeing this, the little cutie simply raised her slender arm and waved gently at Lena and her sisters.

"No need for formalities, all of it is waived."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

The little cutie withdrew her gaze, gently turning her fair and slender neck to scan Liu Dashao, Qi Yun, the Third Princess, Gu Molanya, Ren Qingrui, and the rest of the group.

"Dear Father, dear Mothers, and two Aunts, what are you all talking about? You seem to be having a very pleasant conversation."

As soon as the little cutie asked this question, Qi Yun and her group of sisters couldn't help but chuckle again.

Qi Yun, the Third Princess, Ren Qingrui, and their sisters all giggled, making the little cutie furrow her delicate brows slightly.

Huh? What's going on? Does my question sound funny?

Seeing the little cutie's slightly furrowed brows and puzzled expression, Young Master Liu coughed softly a few times.

"Cough, cough, cough."

"We didn't talk about much, just that your lightness skill is getting better and better."

When the little cutie heard her father say this, she looked at Young Master Liu with a mixture of belief and doubt.

"Oh? Is that so?"

"Yes, yes, that's right." Liu Mingzhi nodded without hesitation and said loudly with a faint smile.

Listening to Young Master Liu's serious reply, Little Cutie turned her head suspiciously and glanced at Qi Yun, the Third Princess, Ren Qingrui, and their group of sisters.

"No, well... well, is it really that funny that my lightness skill is getting better and better?"

After Qi Yun stopped laughing, she raised her hand to gently stroke her slightly heaving chest, and took two steps forward.

"Moon, don't listen to your father's nonsense."

Here's what happened: Your father was just telling me about your ten thousand taels of silver!

As a result, before your father could finish speaking, you happened to come back from outside, so he casually made a few jokes at your expense.

He said that as soon as you speak of the devil, he appears; he said he suspected you overheard the story of the ten thousand taels of silver in the main hall of the palace, and then he flew directly back from the main hall.

"Your father's words were so amusing that your sisters and I couldn't help but laugh along."

After hearing Qi Yun's explanation, the little cutie was not annoyed by her father's teasing words. Instead, she grinned and chuckled softly.

"Hehehehe, oh dear, when I saw all my dear mothers and two dear aunts, you were all laughing non-stop. I thought you had some interesting conversation with my father again. So that's what happened!"

After responding to Qi Yun with a soft, innocent laugh, the little cutie immediately turned around and looked at Young Master Liu, feigning anger.

"Good father, you're really something. So in your eyes, your precious daughter is just a money-grubber?"

Hearing his beloved daughter's angry question, Liu Mingzhi smiled and raised an eyebrow before softly asking his little darling a question in return.

"Oh? Isn't that right?"

"Hmph! Of course not."

"no?"

"Mmm, no."

"Since you're not the kind of person who's greedy for money, how about we just forget about the ten thousand taels of silver?"

Upon hearing Liu Mingzhi's words, the little cutie's pretty face instantly tightened, and she hurriedly and decisively uttered two words.

"no!"

The little cutie's reaction made Young Master Liu chuckle loudly involuntarily.

"Hahaha, my dear daughter, your reaction doesn't seem like that of someone who doesn't care about money!"

Upon hearing this, the little cutie angrily raised her hands and gently pinched her slender waist.

"Good father, I want you to understand something. Being greedy for money and caring about money are two completely different things, okay?"
As the saying goes, a gentleman loves wealth, but he acquires it in a proper way.

Of these ten thousand taels of silver, seven thousand taels were lent to you by me, Yue'er, and three thousand taels were earned by me through my own abilities.

I don't steal or rob; I earn money entirely through my own abilities.

This is the money I, Yue'er, deserve. Why should I not take it?

"Huh? Good father, why should I not want it?" (End of this chapter)
