The whole family is obsessed with love? The princess woke them up one after another.

Qi Zhiyu looked at Qi Jingxi helplessly: "Second brother, it will be ours sooner or later. I'm just doing some calculations first."

Qi Jingxi: "...Sis, your feeling of having victory in your grasp is just... just..."

The shock was too much for him to handle!

Qi Zhiyu tilted her head slightly, looking at him with a puzzled expression.

A faint hint of doubt lingered in those innocent and clear eyes.

If we disregard what she just said and only look at her sister, she is truly a cute, well-behaved, and inquisitive little girl.

The problem is... something she doesn't understand, something's not right!

They had just laid out the cards behind the King of Wu, and hadn't even figured out how to strategize, how to respond, or how to counterattack... when his sister had already skipped all those steps and gone straight to calculating the final profit.

Who wouldn't be afraid?

"Very good, I admire you! I admire you!" Qi Jingxi bowed to Qi Zhiyu.

Besides this, he really didn't know what else to say.

Qi Zhiyu smiled slightly: "Second brother is also very capable."

"Even at such a young age, he was already able to discover and nurture talent for the family."

"That's right." Qi Jingxi immediately put her hands on her hips and puffed out her chest.

He's really capable.

Qi Jingchen glanced speechlessly at Qi Jingxi, who was looking smug, and silently turned his head away.

It's too offensive to look at; I don't want to watch it.

"This time, your royal grandfather will definitely investigate the supply of medicinal herbs over the years," said Prince Rui.

"This line will bring out a lot of people."

For so many years, the Duan family has held this line, and the interests involved have affected many people.

"Isn't this great?" Qi Zhiyu said.

Prince Rui nodded: "Indeed. Once this trade route is cleared up, the lives of the people who make a living by gathering herbs will be much better."

"Ordinary people will also dig up some basic medicinal herbs to supplement their income."

"It's a good thing for them that the medicinal herbs can be sold at a normal price."

"That's for sure." Qi Zhiyu tapped her fingers lightly on the table. "Father, are you saying that the Duan family has pocketed all the money they've had over the years?"

Prince Rui shook his head: "That's definitely not it."

"If it hadn't been given to the King of Wu, the Duan family wouldn't have been able to hold onto this line so firmly all these years."

Qi Jingchen thought of something, and then became even more puzzled.

Qi Jingxi clapped her hands excitedly and said, "Sis, you're planning to use this to deal with the King of Wu?"

"But even if the King of Wu accepted the money, he should have cleaned up his mess."

"It's not easy to find a flaw."

"Shut up!" Qi Jingchen snapped impatiently.

Qi Jingxi said, feeling wronged, "Let me ask what's wrong?"

"Yu'er must have thought of all that you mentioned. Yu'er, what are you planning to do here?" Qi Jingchen asked, voicing his doubts.

Qi Jingxi muttered under her breath, "You don't even understand it yourself, yet you're criticizing me? Ugh!"

Qi Jingxi covered the back of her head and looked at Qi Jingchen accusingly.

Hit him again!

"The amount of silver embezzled by the Duan family definitely doesn't add up, so..." Qi Zhiyu smiled, "Could the families of those concubines of the Prince of Wu who want to compete for the position step in?"

Prince Rui, Qi Jingchen, and Qi Jingxi: "!!!"

"After all, that silver went into the pocket of the King of Wu. Now that the King of Wu has moved it, it will be troublesome for us to dig it out," Qi Zhiyu said casually.

"In that case, let's try a different approach."

"Isn't his concubine's family the next weapon they want to use against us? Then let's settle this score with them."

"Whose money isn't money? As long as the money is there, that's all that matters."

After Qi Zhiyu finished speaking, she smiled with satisfaction.

She's easygoing and not picky, as long as there's money.

Qi Jingxi stared wide-eyed at her younger sister, mouth agape, utterly dumbfounded: "Sis...!"

"Would the family of the concubine of the King of Wu willingly hand over the money?"

Isn't this turn too sharp?

"Second Brother," Qi Zhiyu called out with a hint of helplessness.

You can't do that.

"If we don't have the conditions, we'll create them ourselves."

Qi Jingxi asked dryly, "How do you create it?"

"The current known condition is that the King of Wu will shift his focus to his illegitimate son, and the illegitimate son's mother will think that her son has a chance," Qi Zhiyu said patiently.

"Then the concubine's mother's family will definitely have to take a gamble for the future of their clan."

"If they're going to fight, they'll target us. Then we can just go with the flow."

After hearing this, Qi Jingxi felt as if everything went black.

I heard it, but I didn't understand it.

He turned to look at his older brother... Well, it was no use.

The older brother looked deep in thought, trying to figure out what his sister had said.

Qi Jingxi looked at his father.

His father nodded calmly, "What Yu'er said makes sense."

"Let's do it this way."

Qi Zhiyu smiled contentedly. Talking to smart people is so reassuring: "Dad, you two go ahead with your work. I'll head back now."

"Go ahead," Prince Rui replied with a smile.

After Qi Zhiyu left, Qi Jingxi immediately went to Prince Rui's side: "Father, Father, Father... what have you decided to do?"

"Come on, tell us!"

He couldn't figure it out, and he wanted to know how to do it.

Otherwise, it would be too agonizing and unbearable!

Qi Jingchen also looked at his father with anticipation.

Prince Rui took a sip of tea and replied, "I didn't expect that."

Qi Jingchen: "..."

Qi Jingxi: "..."

"No, Dad, you didn't expect that? Then what was the meaning of your knowing look just now?" Qi Jingxi was exasperated.

That's so weird, isn't it?

Prince Rui glared at him disdainfully: "Didn't you hear Yu'er say we should go with the flow?"

"How am I supposed to know what to do if they haven't even made a move?"

"Let's be prepared and just adapt as needed."

Qi Jingxi: "...So casual?"

This isn't child's play.

This is a battle for the crown prince position; one could lose their life at any moment!

Prince Rui patted Qi Jingxi on the shoulder: "Second son, relax a bit."

"Since we've already considered the worst-case scenario, what's there to worry about?"

"Learn from Yu'er."

Qi Jingxi gave a blank "oh".

"Come on, let's analyze what tricks they'll pull," Prince Rui said, beckoning to his two sons.

Qi Jingxi blinked twice and said, "Dad, Yu'er didn't mean to analyze these things... Ouch! Why did you hit me again?"

Qi Jingxi jumped up and down.

Why does he always get beaten up?

Prince Rui casually withdrew his hand, not even glancing at his foolish son.

Qi Jingchen said helplessly, "There's no need to analyze Yu'er. It's because she has a trump card that's big enough to overturn the world."

"If you have Yu'er's abilities, you don't need to analyze it."

Qi Jingxi pouted and put down the hand that was rubbing the back of her head.

Having just been beaten... it doesn't seem entirely unjust.

"Also, Yu'er is adaptable and capable of handling changes. Do you have that ability?" Qi Jingchen asked.

Qi Jingxi felt as if he had been stabbed in the chest: "Brother...we're brothers, there's no need to be so cruel."

Doesn't he have any pride?
