"Fifth sister, I've completed the task you assigned me earlier. We can host a city-wide banquet tomorrow!"

Wan Qingyu's face was full of joy. She leaned close to Wan Qingyan's ear and chattered, her words full of the meaning of asking for credit and reward. After she finished speaking, she let go of Wan Qingyan's waist with satisfaction!

But then she reached out a hand mischievously, gently touched Wan Qingyan's belly, and blinked at Wan Qingyan playfully, as if to say, "Hehe, look, Fifth Sister, you don't have any reaction at all, you don't feel like vomiting at all!"

"Oh my! My dear eighth sister, you really didn't let me down. Look how beautifully you handled this matter. You are so reliable!

Then let's not delay any longer and quickly organize this city-wide banquet tomorrow, so that everyone in the city can taste the delicious food and share in the joy!"

After hearing Wan Qingyu's report, Wan Qingyan's face instantly blossomed with a smile as brilliant as a spring flower. The corners of her mouth raised high, revealing a row of white and neat teeth. She held Wan Qingyu's hand tightly with joy, nodding in praise.

"Okay, I'll give the order right away. Tomorrow will definitely be a lively day!"

After Wan Qingyu received Wan Qingyan's affirmative answer, a happy smile bloomed on his face. He held Wan Qingyan's hands tightly with both hands and nodded vigorously, indicating that he was willing to take charge of the relevant matters of tomorrow's banquet!

Zheng Changchuan, who had been standing silently by the side, saw everything that was happening before his eyes. He couldn't help but feel a strong sense of loss in his heart, as if he was a superfluous existence.

Despite this, Cui Shici was still unwilling to go to the backyard. He just wanted to stay by Wan Qingyan's side. Even if he just stared at her beautiful face quietly, it was enough to make him feel satisfied!

At this moment, Wan Qingyu walked slowly to Wan Qingyan's side and sat down. While she was talking to Wan Qingyan, she glanced at Zheng Changchuan with a scrutinizing look and said solemnly, "Fifth sister, I have some important matters to discuss with you alone.

"Wouldn't it be better for those insignificant people to stay away for the time being? Don't you agree?"

Although Wan Qingyu's words sounded like he was asking for Wan Qingyan's opinion, he actually clearly expressed his intention to drive Zheng Changchuan away!

Zheng Changchuan's mind was as clear as a mirror. He knew that the "idle people" Wan Qingyu was talking about were referring to himself. At this moment, he felt his face getting hot and he was very embarrassed!

Even so, Zheng Changchuan still stood firmly in the same place, not moving at all. He was waiting for Wan Qingyan's answer. As long as she asked him to go, he would leave immediately!

"Eighth sister, Xiaochuan is one of us. If you want to talk to me alone, just let Xiaochuan leave. Don't call him an outsider next time!"

Wan Qingyan heard the targeted meaning in Wan Qingyu's words, frowned slightly, and reached out to touch her smooth forehead. His eyes were full of doting. He couldn't bear to say harsh words to her, so he could only teach her a lesson!

"Fifth sister, I didn't mean it. I won't do this again next time!"

Seeing that Wan Qingyan was not angry, Wan Qingyu pulled her arm and started shaking her coquettishly, glancing at Zheng Changchuan out of the corner of her eye to see his expression and reaction.

After hearing Wan Qingyan's gentle teaching, Wan Qingyu felt relieved. She was really worried that it would make Wan Qingyan unhappy!

She hurriedly grabbed Wan Qingyan's arm, and her voice instantly became soft, like a cute kitten acting coquettishly.

Not only that, she also glanced at Zheng Changchuan out of the corner of her eye, wanting to see what expression and reaction he had at the moment!

"Xiaochuan, go to the backyard first. I'll come find you when I'm done!"

Wan Qingyan said gently with a smile on her lips. She held Wan Qingyu's hand tightly again and pulled her behind her, cleverly blocking her sight to prevent her from causing trouble. She smiled and asked Zheng Changchuan to go to the backyard to resolve the "awkward" situation!

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Zheng Changchuan responded with a happy smile on his face, and then he walked towards the backyard with light and cheerful steps as if the wind was blowing.

Along the way, his smile never dropped. Ever since he heard Wan Qingyan's words defending him, his heart was filled with indescribable joy and emotion, and he was completely immersed in this happiness!

"Eighth sister, if you have something to say, please tell me now. Xiaochuan has left!"

Wan Qingyan let go of Wan Qingyu's hand only after he made sure that Zheng Changchuan had left. He smiled and pinched her cheek, urging her to tell him what was going on!

"Fifth sister, you're right. Qingzhou does have many spies from the Queen Mother. I spotted a few suspicious individuals today. I went to question them and found them suspicious, but I didn't alert them and let them go!"

Wan Qingyu lowered his voice and reported the situation to Wan Qingyan's ear.

"Eighth sister, you did the right thing this time. We can't take action against these spies. After all, they are the Queen Mother's people!

Besides, these people will definitely report to the Queen Mother that we have raided many people's homes, and the gold, silver and treasures seized will definitely attract the Queen Mother's attention!"

Wan Qingyan supported her face with one hand and slowly raised the corners of her mouth. She was not at all surprised by Wan Qingyu's words. This was all expected. The empress had very rich channels of information!

"Fifth sister, what should we do with the gold, silver and treasures we have seized?"

Wan Qingyu was not as calm as Wan Qingyan. She was a little worried and clenched her fists silently. She was afraid that she would have to hand over all the silver!

These silvers were all dirty silvers that they had confiscated with great effort. They could give part of them to the empress for confiscation, but they really couldn't bear to hand them all over!

"Eighth sister, the Queen Mother doesn't know the exact amount of silver we confiscated. It's not easy to calculate. For example, for the city-wide banquet we're hosting tomorrow, we could say we spent 100,000 taels, or 200,000 taels. Who can really tell..."

Wan Qingyan reached out and patted Wan Qingyu on the head, saying something to comfort her.
