Splendid Twins

Lu Yuan did not reply to Si Yao. He wanted to go see her. This time, no matter what the little fairy said, he would bring her with him.

Someone was sent to deliver the letter to North Vietnam in advance, and the delegation set off afterwards. Lu Yuan prepared two substitutes in the team, while he took the little emperor on a fast horse and took a detour.

"Uncle Huang...are we faster than them?"

Lu Yuan glanced at the little emperor who was being protected by Shadow Blade, lowered his eyes and said softly:

"You can call Lu Chen when you are outside. Remember to call for help if something happens. Don't make a fuss."

"I know, uncle."

Si Yao knew nothing about this and she was a little depressed. Why did Lu Yuan take so long to reply? Could he be having someone else outside?

As expected, no one can stand being apart from each other. She and Lu Yuan are in a cross-border relationship...

"Yao Yao?"

Liu Niang frowned slightly. Why did she feel like her daughter seemed to be worried about something?

I've been in a daze these past two days, and I'm obviously a lot more anxious...

"what happened?"

Si Yao came back to her senses and decided to stop thinking about things she couldn't figure out. Lu Yuan was a man, a powerful adult man. If he changed his mind, what could she do? Wouldn't she just forgive him like a father?

puff……

If Lu Yuan knew that she wanted to be a father, would he be furious?

"Aunt Liu has made another kind of jam. Would you like to try the taste?"

Seeing her daughter frowning and laughing at times, Liu Niang was a little worried about her mental state. Was it because she had stayed at home for too long and was feeling depressed?

"Okay, I'll go take a look."

Si Yao put down the account book in her hand. She now had full authority to handle it. She would find time a day to do the accounting, and the rest of the time she would either sleep or eat and drink.

Now, whether it is making canned food or jam, the core technologies have been mastered by the aunts. Village women have also been hired to do other assembly line work. The village chief also comes to inspect from time to time. Si Yao has really achieved the goal of making money while lying down.

It is the hot season now, and who doesn't want to eat something refreshing and delicious? During the national mourning period, no meat or fish is allowed. The emergence of canned food and jam directly solved some unspeakable problems and brought unprecedented wealth.

"Sixth Aunt, I'm here. What delicious food have you made?"

Si Yao came to the jam shop. After the village chief knew her kindness, he directly had several houses built specifically for making canned food and jam.

"Yao girl, try it first."

Sixth Aunt handed over the freshly baked jam mixed with a cup of water. Si Yao didn't hesitate to take a sip. How should I put it? The taste was a bit like peach juice mixed with water, which was better than plain water.

"How is it? Girl, how much do you think this bowl should cost?"

Sell?

Si Yao was stunned, and spoke uncertainly:

"You want to sell this?"

Aunt Six was a little insecure:

"The imperial examination will be held in a few days. I think a bowl of water in the town costs one penny, and it's cold water. I can definitely sell the water with fruit juice in it..."

Si Yao nodded. The money she had now was more than enough. Not to mention that the space system would automatically exchange money every time it was upgraded, her thresher alone made a lot of money. County Magistrate Li gave her 10,000 taels of silver in private. Money was not a problem in officialdom. What was lacking was a good reputation. If an official could win the hearts of the people, that would be a good omen for promotion and wealth!

There were also dividends from the oil mill. Every household in the surrounding villages had peanuts, except for the oil mill in Sijia Village. County Magistrate Li had already made a lot of money, so of course the dividends given to her were more than enough for her to spend.

Together with the popular canned products and jams, she made a lot of money. When Aunt Liu wanted to make some extra money, she supported her.

"Do you want to sell it yourself or hire someone to do it for you?"

Aunt Six smiled happily and said:

"My nephew from my mother's family is free at home right now, and I want him to... But don't worry, Yaoyao, I will never delay your business."

Si Yao nodded: "It's okay, just pay attention to hygiene. The weather is hot, be careful not to attract mosquitoes and flies."

If Sixth Aunt hadn't mentioned it, she would have really forgotten that Si Qing was going to Beijing to take the imperial examination in a few days, and this would be his last time to publish his results.

I don’t know how Si Yang is doing. I saw him at the border last time. He hasn’t sent a letter back in such a long time. Tsk, how bad…

"Sister Yao, someone is looking for you."

Just as Si Yao was strolling leisurely, a child from the village came running over from a distance, panting and saying:

"Sister Yao, someone is looking for you outside the village..."

Si Yao reached out and took out a piece of candy and handed it to the little carrot head in front of her:

"Okay, sister will go and take a look. You take a rest first."

Who is looking for her outside the village?

Why don't you come in?

Zhou Yu?

When Si Yao arrived outside the village, his face darkened when he saw someone coming. It would be better if it was Zhou Yu who came!

The one who came was Zhou Yu’s father, the Duke of Zhenguo!

Si Yao took a few steps forward, his eyes fell on the people brought by the Duke of Zhenguo. Seven or eight masters disguised as servants came to this remote place and made such a big fuss?

The Duke of Zhenguo knew at a glance that this was not Zhou Yao. Zhou Yao was afraid of him and did not dare to look him in the eye so blatantly. She said with a sullen face:

"What, are you playing wild here? Don't you know how to call for help when you see me?"

Si Yao rolled his eyes in his heart, why are you calling me that? You’re not my real dad.

"You are..."

The Duke of Zhenguo stared at Si Yao with deep eyes, his gaze was heavy:

"There will be a banquet in the palace in a few days. You will go there on behalf of the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion."

This was a completely notification-like attitude, which made Si Yao sneer:

"You are old, why are you still pestering me?"

"what?"

Si Yao felt a surge of anger in her heart. Damn it, she had already said everything clearly, but this old man was still asleep and was still thinking of sending her to the palace!

"Didn't Zhou Yu tell you?"

Upon hearing this, the Duke of Zhenguo's face darkened and he said word by word:

"What future do you have staying here? People always strive for higher positions. With the Duke's Mansion as your backer, don't be ungrateful!"

Si Yao heard this without changing her expression and said:

"Some people pursue power, fame and wealth, while others prefer simple food and simple meals. Could it be that the Duke wants to force a cow to drink water?"

"presumptuous!"

The Duke of Zhenguo glared at Si Yao with a dark face. He had never seen such a sharp-tongued woman.

Si Yao ignored his anger and spoke fearlessly:

"I've made it very clear, we should live our own lives and not disturb each other, please go back."

The Duke of Zhenguo controlled his emotions very well. He was furious just now, but now he was threatening people with an expressionless face:

"Your elder brother... Si Qing is a student in this year's imperial examination. If our prince is not careful... then Si Qing will become famous overnight!"

Si Yao licked his fangs with the tip of his tongue. Threatening her?

very good!

"You have investigated so thoroughly, you should know that I once saved Zhou Yu's life. If I had been careless... Zhou Yu would have been dead!"

Ha, who doesn't know how to threaten others?

"You are not her, aren't you afraid that the Duke of this country will arrest you as a monster?"

There was murderous intent in the eyes of the Duke of Zhenguo. He had never been threatened like this before. This was simply courting death!
