The head of the Chu family, Chu Xuanhe, was on the couch in his room.
Weng Qin snuggled next to Chu Xuanhe and asked softly: "Do we really want that girl Youwei to represent our Chu family and be invited to the Qin family's family dinner? In previous years, Youren was the one who went."
"Today is different from the past," Chu Xuanhe said bluntly with a hint of depth in his eyes: "Today, the value of this girl Youwei is much more than that boy Youren."
Weng Qin thought of something and asked in surprise: "Is it related to the people sent by the Luo family during the day? Luo Tianfu is still thinking about this girl Youwei?"
Chu Xuanhe said in a deep voice: "That man was sent by Master Luo."
Weng Qin was surprised, "Master Luo also likes Youwei?"
Chu Xuanhe said speechlessly: "He didn't come entirely for Youwei, he just conveyed a signal to us in a subtle way."
"What do you mean?" Weng Qin was confused.
Chu Xuanhe explained: "The people he sent reported the failure of Luo Tianfu's trip to the Sword Ruins. Not only did he not bring back any valuable resources or techniques, but even the accompanying guards suffered heavy casualties. The top brass of the Luo family
Very angry about this.”
Weng Qin asked doubtfully: "We have heard this kind of news since the battle of Jianxu. Why did he specially send someone to convey it this time?"
Chu Xuanhe said: "Luo Tianfu's trip to the Sword Ruins was with the intention of making meritorious deeds. It was his last chance. After this failure, it will be difficult for the Luo family to make a comeback in the future."
Weng Qin was suddenly startled and realized: "Master Luo, are you asking us to clarify the current situation? To clarify our position? To prevent us from getting involved with Luo Tianfu anymore?"
"More than that," Chu Xuanhe said in a deep voice with deep meaning in his eyes: "Luo Tianfu covets the girl Youwei. It is not a secret news in Xuanjin City. The ears and eyes of Yiluo Young Master must have heard about it. This time he sent
They came here, firstly, to warn us not to get too close to Luo Tianfu and to give up the idea of clinging to him; secondly, they also wanted to use our hands to give Luo Tianfu the final blow."
"Let us take action?" Weng Qin was surprised, "Does he want to use us as his spearmen? If he is not careful, he can also avoid the infamy of being at war with his fellow tribesmen? To protect himself?"
Chu Xuanhe shook his head and explained: "He intends to get the last piece of Luo family's property in Luo Tianfu's hands."
Weng Qin was surprised: "Is it the rouge business targeting us?"
Chu Xuanhe nodded and said: "Youwei's retrieval of Zidaihua has not been hidden from Mr. Luo. He got the wind from unknown sources and predicted that our Chu family's Baidai Immortal Fat will reappear in the near future and wants to unite
We will completely defeat Luo Tianfu."
"In this way, the rouge business in his hands will be destroyed. For us, it is also a win-win situation."
"Back then, Luo Tianfu made a solemn promise in front of the top brass of the Luo family that he would use this rouge business to occupy and exploit our Chu family's market and resources. To this end, he also obtained strong support from the top brass of the Luo family."
"Given his current situation, if something goes wrong in this area, his end may be more than just being unable to turn over."
Weng Qin sneered, "It's best if he's dead. I've long been used to seeing him. He just robs women properly, uses despicable means to intimidate and lure her, and even plots against our rouge business. He's really not a man."
Chu Xuanhe also had a hint of coldness on his face, as if he was resentful and angry at Luo Tianfu for using the rouge trade to suppress the Chu family and threatening Chu Youwei for his entertainment. Such humiliating and disrespectful behavior.
He didn't care about Chu Youwei's life and safety, but he couldn't bear the fact that he was forced to tolerate flattery or even shyly fawning.
After Weng Qin calmed down, he added: "Not many people in the clan know about Youwei's retrieval of Zi Daihua, and the news has not spread. If Master Luo finds out so easily, I am afraid that within our clan,
We have placed an informant, so we must be careful in case what happened in the past happens again..."
Chu Xuanhe solemnly said: "In those days, Zidaihua was concentrated in a single flower garden management, and it was strictly forbidden to leave. Only a few people had flower seeds in their hands, so it was possible for people to plot and destroy them. Now it won't happen. I
It has been ordered that the Zidai flower will no longer be managed in a limited manner. In addition to opening flower gardens in various places and expanding its planting, everyone will have flower seeds in their hands in the future, so that it will never become extinct again."

Weng Qin asked in confusion: "Since we are determined to cooperate with Mr. Luo to deal with Luo Tianfu and remove the obstacles to the rouge business, why do we send Youwei to the Qin family's family banquet? Mr. Luo wants her to attend the family banquet.
Go ahead, will something happen again with Luo Tianfu?"
Chu Xuanhe explained: "This is not what Mr. Luo meant, it was arranged by me. Although I need to make my position clear, until the end of the Luo family's dispute, who can guarantee that Mr. Luo will take the upper hand?"
"If Luo Tianfu really has some trump cards to turn around, if we offend him to death, there will be no room for relaxation in the future."
"Therefore, it is most appropriate to arrange for Youwei to appear. When the time comes, she will attend with that boy from the Lin family."
Weng Qin said happily: "This plan is very clever. In this way, not only will Master Luo know our position, but there will also be room for relaxation on Luo Tianfu's side. This can all be blamed on Youwei herself. Due to the pressure of the marriage,
It was a helpless move to draw Luo Tianfu's hatred to her and the Lin family boys, instead of involving our Chu family."
Chu Xuanhe smiled sinisterly: "For this reason, although we will cooperate with Mr. Luo to take action in Rouge Line, even if we are held accountable, there will be no specific accusations. We are just running our own business as before, but there are too many
There is a kind of Baidai Immortal Lip that can dominate the rouge world."
Weng Qin laughed evilly and asked with concern: "Since you are determined to let Youwei attend the banquet, then I will go to the warehouse to arrange a gift for her tomorrow?"
"No need," Chu Xuanhe signaled: "The hairpin I made for you a while ago didn't come with two hairpins. The one you don't want is of inferior quality. I gave it to her earlier as a congratulation.
"
Weng Qin laughed in embarrassment: "Isn't that too shabby? The texture of the hairpin with flaws can only be regarded as the Five Elements grade, but there are still many impurities in the hairpin body."
Chu Xuanhe smiled indifferently, "The Qin family doesn't have any treasures, so no matter how precious you give them, they won't care."
"Besides, the congratulatory gifts are just birthday congratulations. Yu Ruyan will definitely not open them on the spot to verify what they are. Afterwards, it is hard to say whether she will have the intention to count them. If she is not sure, she will directly deposit them into the warehouse.
I don’t care about the quality at all.”
…
Noon the next day.
Lu Feng and Lin Xiaowan suddenly received an invitation from Chu Youwei and went to a teahouse in the east of Xuanjin City.
After looking around, the two walked up to the attic.
I saw Chu Youwei in front of an antique tea table by the window.
Today, Chu Youwei is wearing a gradient ink-colored gown with delicate lotus patterns embroidered on the skirt. The gentle breeze blows through the window, gently blowing the tulle draped around her shoulders.
The dark dress, combined with the pale white gauze, next to the antique window sill, made her look extremely elegant, with a faint sense of mysterious beauty.
Seeing Lu Feng approaching, Chu Youwei hesitated for a moment unconsciously, but soon regained her composure.
He motioned for the two of them to sit at the same table and have tea and snacks.
As soon as Lin Xiaowan sat down, a curious voice came out, "Sister Weiwei, why are you here suddenly looking for us? Are you in any trouble?"
Chu Youwei said bluntly: "The Qin family's family banquet is coming soon, and my uncle asked me to call your brother to attend the banquet together."
Lu Feng couldn't help but be stunned.
If he had known about this scene, he wouldn't have had to go to great lengths to blackmail Qin Chao Se and others.
Lin Xiaowan suddenly felt a little aggrieved and said dissatisfiedly: "But didn't your brother just threaten that he wanted my brother to become a disciple of his master friend before allowing him to enter your Chu family?"
"What do you mean by suddenly coming to a banquet together?"
"In what name do you want to attend the banquet?"
Lin Xiaowan's successive posts made Chu Youwei a little frightened, and her face was a little embarrassed. She responded awkwardly: "This is all uncle's intention."
Lu Feng was a little confused about Chu Xuanhe's intention, and asked with some curiosity: "Is it your uncle's intention to attribute the credit to me for finding Zidaihua?"
Chu Youwei's face froze, "This, this is what I mean. Just for the merit of finding Zi Daihua, I am worried that I will still be forced to act as a pawn for the family's interests and marry someone like Luo Tianfu."
Lin Xiaowan was surprised and said happily: "So, you still want to marry my brother?"
Chu Youwei's face suddenly turned red, and she said in a panic: "I...I didn't mean that, I just wanted to say that I can delay it for a while and try to get out of the Chu family."
As he spoke, he looked at Lu Feng and said apologetically: "I hope Mr. Lin doesn't mind Youwei's decision."
Lin Xiaowan responded first: "My brother won't mind this little thing. Then you are going to go to the banquet together as a married couple?"
Seeing Chu Youwei blushing, she nodded lightly.
Lin Xiaowan took advantage of the situation and said, "How about taking my sister-in-law with you by the way? You can also take me to see the world. There will definitely be a lot of delicious food at the Qin family's family banquet."
Chu Youwei smiled and said, "Look at how greedy you are."
Lin Xiaowan pouted and said: "That day you went to the Luo family to secretly eat fish soup made from ice-tailed fish. I was envious of you. The Qin family is no less powerful than the Luo family. Maybe they would have such a rare delicacy.
It’s normal for me to be greedy.”
Hearing the word ice-tailed fish, the scene of that day suddenly appeared in Chu Youwei's mind. She thought of the filth stuck in her hair. Lin Xiaowan caught her and picked it up, smelled it, licked it and ate it. For a time, she still mistakenly thought it was...
Rare fish soup...
For a moment, the warm blush on Chu Youwei's face couldn't help but get hotter.
From the corner of his eye, he glanced at 'Lin Liyun' who was sitting in front of him. It was clearly his face that he was looking at, but another figure emerged in his mind.
This made Chu Youwei feel ashamed and unable to face her own heart.
'What's wrong with me...'
'Are they just like those free-spirited women who are happy to see each one?'
