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

Chapter 318 She'd be happy if she saw the people of Wei unhappy.

"This is just a small token of our appreciation. We hope you like it and thank you for your help last time."

"This is for Miss Han. Please give it to her when she returns!"

Gu Chengze waved his hand, and Fei Ye and Fei Lin respectfully carried over two small boxes.

"Hey! Why be so polite! I owe it all to your Wei Kingdom. If I hadn't unearthed your treasure, I wouldn't be the princess of Dayue!"

"You agree, don't you, Second Prince? Hahaha!"

She immediately went all out, and Sheng Wanqiu knew how to provoke people. Sure enough, her words left Gu Chengze speechless and his face turned pale.

Sheng Wanqiu waved her hand, and Xia Hua and Qiu Yi behind her stepped forward to take the small boxes from the two people opposite.

"Second Prince, Fourth Prince, please come in!"

Lu Lingyun smiled and gestured for them to proceed. She was also suppressing her laughter, mainly because she was happy to see the Wei people unhappy. When it comes to eloquence, Wanqiu was the best.

To prepare for the trap of this luncheon, Sheng Wanqiu went to explain the situation to Qiao Wenyuan. Qiao Wenyuan was exhausted that morning, mainly from supervising his eight grandsons' studies; he almost broke the bamboo pole he was holding.

Upon hearing Sheng Wanqiu's suggestion, he said he wanted to go out for a stroll and take a firsthand look at the living standards of the people of Wei. He then took his eight grandsons out for a shopping trip and lunch.

So, apart from the two Gu brothers, the other five people at the lunch table were from Dayue.

"Come, come, don't be shy! There's a saying that goes, 'Isn't it a pleasure to have friends coming from afar?'"

"Let's drink this first, it's fate! Don't you think so, Xiao Fengzi!" Sheng Wanqiu said with a smile, calling out to Gu Chengfeng, this little fool.

"Yes, yes, yes, may I still call you Miss Wanqiu?" The silly Gu Chengfeng immediately replied.

"Let's finish this drink first. You can call me whatever you want. It's just a name!" Sheng Wanqiu said, then stood up, raised her glass, and downed a glass of wine first.

Seeing that Sheng Wanqiu had finished her drink so readily, Gu Chengfeng, being a man, couldn't fall behind the women and immediately drank his own.

Gu Chengze sensed something was wrong, but he had already been put in this position, so he couldn't refuse to drink. He finished the wine in his glass, not leaving a single drop.

"I suppose you two don't know many of us here? Then I'll volunteer to introduce you to these elites of our Great Yue Kingdom!"

Sheng Wanqiu was adept at navigating drinking etiquette, and began introducing people to the Gu brothers. At the same time, she nudged Lu Lingyun and Lu Li under the table, and the two immediately understood and began to follow Sheng Wanqiu's lead.

After all that, Sheng Wanqiu's efforts weren't in vain. Each of the four men had to drink a glass of wine, and Gu Chengfeng, who couldn't hold his liquor, was already flushed from head to toe, looking like a boiled shrimp. Gu Chengze understood; it seemed these people wanted to get the two brothers drunk—was it to extract information? Or did they have some other purpose?
He was a little dizzy, but that wasn't a big deal for him. The most important thing was his younger brother. He knew how to use the "truth comes out when drunk" trick, and that would be the end of him!
"Second Prince, I've heard that the Yunyan Pavilion in Wei Kingdom is famous for producing a kind of fabric that shines under moonlight, something like Moon Shadow Satin. Do you know anyone there? I'd like to order a batch!"

Lu Li, holding a wine glass, smiled and said to Gu Chengze, "I think the more guarded a person is, the less suspicious they will be if you ask them directly. If I were to ask the dizzy Gu Chengfeng, the sober Second Prince would definitely suspect my motives."

"Hmm! I do know someone there. May I ask, Young Master Lu, what do you intend to do with this Moon Shadow Satin? How much do you want?"

"It's not that I'm being nosy, but you should know that this Moon Shadow Satin is available in limited quantities at Cloud Mist Pavilion. I need to find out more before I can inquire for you!"

Gu Chengze was wary; he was wary that Sheng Wanqiu and the others would try to find out about the performances of their contestants. However, Lu Li didn't ask about that, so he relaxed his guard. But he still had to ask.

"To be honest, Qiyun Pavilion is my business. Recently, I received a big order. The Empress Dowager of Tianqi Kingdom needs a tent made for her birthday."

"Qiyun Pavilion is actually yours, Prince Lu! It's a chain store! It's located in all five kingdoms. I never imagined that you, Prince Lu, would be so capable at such a young age!"

Gu Chengze was also surprised. He originally thought that this Prince Lu was just someone waiting to inherit the family business, except that he was a bit good-looking. He didn't expect him to be so capable. Indeed, you can't judge a book by its cover.

"Your Highness is too kind. So please help me make the introductions! Cheers! Thank you in advance!" Lu Li smiled, raised his cup, and drank it all in one gulp.

Sheng Wanqiu had given him some spiritual spring water before, otherwise he wouldn't have dared to drink it like that. He probably would have been sleeping under the table after drinking three cups.

"Of course, of course. My uncle is the manager of Yunyan Pavilion. I will definitely help you, Young Master Lu, to get this done!" Gu Chengze agreed with a smile and finished his drink.

While Gu Chengze was drinking, Sheng Wanqiu and Lu Lingyun exchanged glances and both saw surprise in each other's eyes.

It seems that the appearance of that totem must not be a coincidence, and the death of the Empress of Dayue must be related to the royal family of Wei!
"Snapped!"

"Who acknowledges him as our uncle? He's just a greedy scoundrel who only helped Mother with a tiny errand and yet he demanded such a large sum of money from her!"

"Pah! Uncle? He's just a distant relative of my mother!"

A dazed Gu Chengfeng slammed his hand on the table and stood up, rattling off a long string of words. Sheng Wanqiu and Lu Lingyun immediately sensed something fishy about his words. It seemed that the manager of Yunyan Pavilion and this Consort Chen had a special relationship!
"Xiao Feng, don't be silly! Sit down!" Gu Chengze stood up apologetically and pressed Gu Chengfeng, whose face was flushed, onto the stool.

"Who's talking nonsense? I'm telling the truth. I saw it with my own eyes, humph!"

"My mother was furious and even slapped him! I was right at the door, they just didn't see me!"

Gu Chengfeng kept chattering on and on, which made Gu Chengze very embarrassed. The saying goes that family scandals should not be aired in public, but his silly younger brother really dared to air anything. The key point is that Gu Chengze didn't know about this matter and had never heard him mention it before.

"Here! Drink some honey water, it will make you feel better!" Sheng Wanqiu thoughtfully handed over a cup of honey water, gesturing for Gu Chengfeng to drink it quickly.
