At the entrance of Zuixianlou

Lu Zhan and Su Yuejian got off the carriage one after another.

When Zhou Wangzhi saw Su Yuejian, he ran over happily and held her hand.

Looking at his big watery eyes, Su Yue's heart softened.

Zhou Min followed Zhou Wangzhi and said with an apologetic smile,

"I'm sorry to have made Princess Minghua laugh, but Zhi'er is not usually like this."

She was telling the truth. Due to physical reasons, Zhou Wangzhi had been a loner since childhood and rarely took the initiative to get close to others.

Su Yuejian smiled and said, "Princess Langning is too polite. It seems that the young marquis and I get along well. I am very happy to meet him."

Zhou Min remembered meeting her at Madam Su's birthday party that day.

At that time, Su Yuejian had not yet recognized her identity and her eyes had not recovered, but Zhou Min saw her demeanor and behavior that day, which was different from those noble ladies who only knew how to gossip.

Zhou Min still had a good impression of her, and coupled with what happened today, Su Yuejian risked her life to protect Zhou Wangzhi, which made him feel even closer to her.

She smiled brightly at Su Yuejian and stepped forward and said,

"I'm also very happy to see Miss Su. Miss Su, there's no need to call me Princess. I'm a few years older than you, so just call me Sister like Zhi'er does."

Su Yuejian was a little flattered and looked at her carefully.

Zhou Min was dressed in a blue suit with cloud patterns, and her black hair was tied up in a high ponytail with a jade crown, looking very heroic.

As Lu Zhan said, she is really a heroine with a straightforward and cheerful personality.

She quickly responded with a smile, "Then Sister Min, just call me Yue'er."

The two smiled at each other, and then they entered Zuixian Tower together.

The servant led a few people to the innermost private room on the third floor. When they passed the middle private room, a surprised male voice suddenly came.

"Brother Lu, what a coincidence!"

Lu Zhan looked over when he heard the voice and said in surprise, "Brother Shen."

When Zhou Min and Su Yue met, Zhou Wangzhi stopped.

Shen Sibai stood up and walked to the door. "Brother Lu, it's a rare day off, and you're here for dinner too. Why don't we join you?"

Lu Zhan looked at Su Yuejian and the others beside him. Shen Sibai followed his gaze. He didn't recognize Su Yuejian because she was wearing a veil hat, but he recognized Zhou Min and Zhou Wangzhi.

Shen Sibai bowed and saluted, "Shen Sibai greets Princess Langning and the young marquis."

He paused as he looked at Su Yuejian, and Lu Zhan began to introduce her with a proud tone, "This is my sister, Su Yuejian."

Shen Sibai was shocked.

"So it's Princess Minghua. I've long admired her. Meeting is fate. How about you all dine together today? My sister has often told me about the Princess's extraordinary talent and she admires it very much."

Su Yuejian looked up and saw Shen Wenshu also sitting inside, bowing to the few people.

Su Yue glanced at Zhou Min and saw that she had no objection, so she nodded.

Then Shen Sibai enthusiastically pulled Lu Zhan into the private room.

Several people sat down one after another.

Zhou Wangzhi sat next to Zhou Min and Su Yuejian, Su Yuejian sat next to Lu Zhan, and opposite them sat Shen Wenshu and Shen Sibai.

After sitting down, Su Yuejian took off the veil and handed it to Yuzhu.

Shen Sibai and Shen Wenshu were stunned for a moment when they saw the bright and beautiful woman in front of them.

During this period, Su Yuejian's reputation as the most beautiful woman in Tianjin has spread throughout Tianjin, but when they met today, they realized that the rumors were true.

Especially since Shen Sibai kept staring at Su Yuejian blankly, Lu Zhan beside him instantly became unhappy.

Why is he staring at his sister like that? Doesn’t he always show off to him how great his sister is?

He coughed lightly, "Ahem...Brother Shen, is it time to order?"

Shen Sibai realized his impoliteness and came back to his senses. He laughed dryly and said, "Not yet. We just arrived."

Then he asked the waiter to bring the menu, and several people ordered dishes and started eating.

The group was enjoying their meal when Lu Zhan suddenly picked up a piece of fish and sighed, "Yue'er, this fish jerky is far inferior to your cooking skills."

After saying this, he glanced at Shen Sibai intentionally or unintentionally.

Su Yue was confused and a little embarrassed.

What's wrong with Third Brother suddenly? Why is he saying all this for no reason?

Shen Sibai naturally knew that he had always been showing off his sister in front of Lu Zhan. Now that he had such a precious cousin, he was looking for an opportunity to show off.

He ignored Lu Zhan and continued to eat without changing his expression.

Seeing him trying so hard, Lu Zhan raised a wicked smile.

"Brother Shen, I've already solved all the unsolved chess games in the chess book you gave me."

After hearing this, Shen Sibai couldn't stand it anymore, put down the chopsticks in his hand, and said hurriedly,

"what?!"

"How did you figure it out so quickly? I've been studying that chess game for two months!"

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Lu Zhan puffed out his chest like a proud rooster and said, "Of course it's because I have a sister!"

He paused and emphasized the word "sister".

"My Xiaoyue'er broke you in just two hours!"

Seeing Lu Zhan's smug look, Su Yuejian wanted to bury her head in the bowl. If she had known earlier, she would have worn a veil while eating.

Seeing Shen Sibai looking at her in shock, she could only raise her head and smile politely.

Then he poured a bowl of fish soup and placed it in front of Lu Zhan, gritting his teeth and saying, "Third brother, drink the soup and eat."

Lu Zhan ignored Su Yuejian's warning glare, took the fish soup, and continued to attack Shen Sibai.

"Brother Shen, it's really different when you have a sister. The fish soup you serve is especially fragrant."

Su Yuejian was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and smiled awkwardly.

What's wrong with this third brother?

Shen Wenshu covered her lips and chuckled. She knew that Shen Sibai often showed off in front of Lu Zhan, but now the situation has changed.

Shen Wenshu looked at Shen Sibai's unwilling eyes, raised her hand and poured him a bowl of soup, which comforted him a little.

Seeing Su Yuejian was a little embarrassed, "Princess, don't mind it. My brother and Mr. Lu have been like this since they were young. They want to compete with each other in everything. I don't know what they are competing for."

Lu Zhan and Shen Sibai were classmates. In the imperial examination that year, Lu Zhan was the third place winner and Shen Sibai was the second place winner. But in fact, it was because Lu Zhan's appearance was more outstanding that he got the title of third place winner. The two entered the officialdom together, and Shen Sibai now serves as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

When they were studying, the two of them had always been competing with each other. Over the years, the only thing that allowed Shen Sibai to surpass Lu Zhan was that he had a beautiful and talented sister.

After hearing Shen Wenshu's explanation, Su Yuejian finally understood a little and smiled brightly at her.

Zhou Min on the side found it quite interesting. She didn't expect that Lu Zhan, who was known as the Iron-faced King of Hell, could be so childish.

She chuckled and raised her hand to pick up the five-flavor chicken, but the plate was a little far away. She turned around to ask the servant for help, but when she looked back, a piece of chicken was already in her bowl.

She watched Lu Zhan retract his hand, looked up at his cold eyes, her heart moved slightly, and after a moment she came back to her senses and nodded and smiled at him.

After Zhou Wangzhi had eaten, he kept peeling shrimps silently, then divided the shrimp meat into two portions, one for Zhou Min's bowl and one for Su Yuejian.

Su Yuejian liked his well-behaved little appearance so much!

She imitated Zhou Min, raised her thumbs and bent it twice to express her gratitude to him.

Zhou Wangzhi grinned, and his two little fangs looked even more adorable.

Su Yuejian picked up a wet handkerchief and secretly took his pulse while wiping his hands.

Zhou Min noticed her movements, frowned slightly, and was a little confused.

Su Yue put down the wet handkerchief without changing her expression when she saw him, but she felt a little heavy in her heart. Zhou Wangzhi's stubborn illness was more difficult to deal with than she had imagined.

After the meal, Shen Sibai was not full, but was angry with Lu.

Lu Zhan was quite satisfied with the meal and was in a good mood.

In the afternoon, he wanted to take Su Yuejian to Jinxiufang or Linglong Pavilion again, but Su Yuejian was not interested. She was still thinking about the golden silkworm and wanted to go back to study it.

Therefore, after dinner, Shen Sibai and Shen Wenshu said goodbye and left first.

At the entrance of Zuixianlou, Zhou Wangzhi kept holding Su Yuejian and refused to leave.

Zhou Min tried to persuade him for a long time, and finally Su Yuejian agreed to go out with him again in a few days, and he was willing to leave obediently.

Looking at Zhou Wangzhi's lovely smiling face, Su Yuejian smiled gently.

A breeze blew, lifting the veil of the hat, revealing the girl's pure and beautiful smile.

Xie Jiusi had just gone downstairs when he inadvertently looked up and saw the woman at the door, and was stunned.

By the time he came to his senses and wanted to chase after her, Su Yuejian and Lu Zhan had already boarded the carriage and were heading towards the Duke of Huguo's Mansion.
