"No, my brother saw that I was bored at home, so he brought me here." Yu Wangfei picked up the hot tea in front of him, took a sip, and immediately frowned.

"What's wrong?" Chu Yuheng thought she was scalded by the hot tea and quickly took the cup away from her hand.

"What kind of tea is this? Why does it taste so strange?" Yu Wangfei asked with a frown.

Before Chu Yuheng could answer, a woman came in from outside. She was dressed elegantly, with her hair half tied up and a long whip worn around her waist.

"Sister should be drinking matcha." The woman walked towards them with a smile, "Greetings to the Seventh Prince and the Ninth Lord."

"Xiaoting, now you're here. I told you it's just a gathering among friends, so don't be formal." Chu Fei quickly made room for Lu Xiaoting and motioned for her to take her seat.

Yu Wangfei stared at the woman in a daze. Wasn't she the woman who ate hot pot with Chu Yuheng in Xizhou? It turned out that they were old acquaintances.

"This is our matcha, brought specially from Jiangnan." Lu Xiaoting smiled and poured another cup for Yu Wangfei, "Sister, try it."

Facing Lu Xiaoting's enthusiasm, Yu Wangfei had no choice but to take another sip: "Very good."

Although she was still not used to drinking it, she couldn't offend others.

"I guess you are Wangfeng's sister." Lu Xiaoting suddenly clasped her fists and looked at Yu Wangfei, "My name is Lu Xiaoting. I was born in Xizhou. I don't understand the red tape in the capital. If I offend you in the future, you must be more tolerant."

“My given name is Fei. If you don’t mind, you can just call me Wang Fei. No need to call me sister.” Yu Wang Fei responded.

"Okay, then Wang Fei can just call me Xiao Ting."

When the waiter downstairs saw that all the guests in the room had arrived, he brought up all the specialties of the store and even brought up a few jars of the store's finest wine.

Lu Xiaoting opened the jars of wine and began to pour a glass for everyone.

"This is my Lu family's precious wine. For today's gathering, I specially asked the waiter to dig it out from the general's mansion." After drinking the wine, Lu Xiaoting pointed at the hot pot in front of her, "And this hot pot, but I specially asked someone to bring it back from Xizhou. You must taste it today."

At this moment, Yu Wangfei suddenly remembered that the waiter had said that the owner of this store was in Xizhou. Could it be that she was the owner of this store?

"Are you the owner of this shop?" Yu Wangfei asked tentatively.

"Good eyesight, you're right." Lu Xiaoting smiled and raised her glass, motioning them to drink together.

Suddenly Yu Wangfei seemed to realize something.

If it is true as Yu Wangfeng said, that the Lu family is all in Xizhou and has never thought of returning to Beijing, then why would Lu Xiaoting open a Xizhou hot pot shop in the capital? Is it just to make money?

But the general’s mansion shouldn’t be short of money.

Moreover, after Chu Yuheng and Chu Fei went to Xizhou, Lu Xiaoting suddenly received an imperial edict to return to Beijing. This was too strange, and Yu Wangfei seemed to have noticed something.

No wonder Chu Yuheng told her that a storm was coming. It seemed that they wanted to confront Chu Aotian head-on.

At first, Yu Wangfei was worried that if she stood on the side of the Seventh Prince, would the Yu family blame her for getting involved in the party dispute? But now, Yu Wangfeng is the Seventh Prince's man.

It seems that the Yu family will be dragged into this battle for the throne no matter what.

"Wang Fei, don't you want to drink?" Lu Xiaoting asked deliberately when she saw that Yu Wang Fei did not pick up the wine glass.

Upon hearing this, Yu Wangfei immediately picked up the teacup and said, "I can't drink much, so I'll use tea instead of wine."

"Drinking some wine can warm your body, why don't you try it, Wang Fei?" Lu Xiaoting urged again, "Besides, the women in our Xizhou are all good at singing and dancing and have a high tolerance for alcohol. I believe you can drink too."

"Fei Fei is not good at drinking, so I'll drink her glass for her." Chu Yuheng picked up Yu Wangfei's glass and drank it all.

"I forgot that Wang Fei grew up in the capital, not in Xizhou." Lu Xiaoting said deliberately.

For some reason, this sentence always sounded weird to Yu Wangfei.

After a few people sat together and exchanged a few pleasantries, Chu Fei decided to get down to business and began to discuss the next plan with them.

But Lu Xiaoting suddenly interrupted Chu Fei. She looked at Yu Wangfei warily and said, "Wangfei, why don't you go back first? It's not convenient for you to hear what I'm going to say next. This is all for your own good."

Chu Yuheng said unhappily, "It's something you can't listen to. Feifei is not an outsider, so she can't tell anyone."

"You misunderstood me." Lu Xiaoting explained quickly, "After all, the more you know about this kind of thing, the more dangerous it is. You don't want Wang Fei to fall into danger, do you?"

After hearing this, Yu Wangfeng felt that Lu Xiaoting's words made sense. He was reckless today and did not consider this aspect. He just wanted to take Yu Wangfei out to relax and introduce her to Lu Xiaoting.

"If there is any danger, I can naturally protect her." Although Chu Yuheng was a little worried, he didn't want Yu Wangfei to leave just like that.

"You know the degree of danger of this matter better than us. If you can really protect Wang Fei well, I will naturally not advise you."

Chu Yuheng certainly knew all this. He thought about it for a while and felt that Lu Xiaoting was right. They really couldn’t let Yu Wangfei know what they had done. Otherwise, if they failed, Yu Wangfei would inevitably be implicated.

Previously, Chu Yuheng wanted to send Yu Wangfei and the entire Yu family to Jiangnan, but Yu Wangfei refused to leave. He then thought about removing the Yu family from this matter, but Yu Wangfeng was a soldier from Xizhou after all, and the Yu family had already joined the game anyway.

Since he can't protect the entire Yu family, he must protect Yu Wangfei.

Seeing that Chu Yuheng didn't say anything, Lu Xiaoting knew that she had succeeded, so she looked at Yu Wangfei and said slowly: "Thank you for your hard work, Wangfei, go back first. When I have time in the future, I will ask Wangfei to go out for fun."

Chu Yuheng sighed and looked at Yu Wangfei apologetically: "Fei Fei, what we want to talk about is indeed..."

"It's not convenient for me to hear, right?" Yu Wangfei smiled coldly.

She didn't expect that she would be excluded by this group of people. She had nothing to do with them and was of no help to what they were going to do, so it was normal not to let her listen.

Thinking of this, Yu Wangfei stood up and glanced at everyone: "Then I will go back home first, but I know your plan and what you want to do."

Hearing this, Yu Wangfeng looked at her in surprise, unable to believe that his sister knew everything.

"By the way, if there are any occasions in the future that I am not convenient to participate in, please do not notify me." Yu Wangfei smiled and saluted Chu Fei, then took a few steps towards the door.

Suddenly she turned around and looked at everyone: "I forgot to tell you that the eldest prince also met me in this room before. I suggest you choose a different place for your future plots."
