After hearing Wan Qingyan's plan, Wan Qingyu widened his eyes and opened his mouth in surprise.

Seeing her reaction, Wan Qingyan couldn't help but smile.

He placed his hand on her chin, gently lifted it up, and helped her close her mouth.

"Fifth sister, you are still smart!"

Wan Qingyu realized his previous gaffe and scratched his head in embarrassment.

He quickly gave a thumbs up and praised Wan Qingyan.

"Eighth sister, the key to the success of this plan lies in you. It all depends on you!"

Wan Qingyan gave her a solemn instruction and patted her shoulder, his eyes full of expectation and trust.

"Fifth sister, don't worry, I will do my best to make this happen! I won't let you down!"

Wan Qingyu clenched his fists and nodded vigorously, his eyes firm and confident.

She knew very well that this was a good opportunity to prove her abilities.

Wan Qingyan looked at Wan Qingyu's high morale and smiled with relief.

The two of them whispered a few more words until Wan Qingyan's stomach started to growl.

Then he stopped and prepared to have dinner.

As soon as the two opened the door, they saw Shi Ming guarding the door.

"Your Highnesses, the food in the kitchenette is ready! You may go and have your meal!"

Shi Ming bowed respectfully.

"Okay, let's go right away."

Wan Qingyan responded with a smile, she was indeed very hungry now.

Wan Qingyu smiled at Shi Ming as he passed by her.

Shi Ming was a little confused by Wan Qingyu's inexplicable smile.

After all, Wan Qingyu never smiled at her before.

Wan Qingyan walked quickly, and she could already smell the fragrance of the food.

She walked into the hall and asked everyone else to sit down and have dinner together.

A Nian came up happily and brought two cups of hot tea to Wan Qingyan and Wan Qingyu.

Wan Qingyu took the tea and took a sip, then touched Aniantou with a smile on his face.

A Nian was confused by Wan Qingyu's sudden tenderness.

Wan Qingyan sat down and concentrated on eating.

When the others saw Wan Qingyan start eating, they also sat down and started eating.

Wan Qingyan ate the most during the meal. She ate two large bowls of rice and three large bowls of vegetables.

Shi Ming and A Nian were secretly observing Wan Qingyu's expression and felt that they were not full.

Wan Qingyu secretly watched Wan Qingyan eat.

While I was serving her food and soup, I was also eating my fill.

"Well, I'm full! It's more comfortable to eat and drink enough!"

Wan Qingyan leaned back in his chair, half-closed his eyes, and sighed comfortably.

The others nodded repeatedly out of courtesy.

After Wan Qingyan said a few words to them, he went back to his room, using the excuse of being tired.

The sky gradually darkened, the entire yamen was silent, and everyone stayed quietly in their own rooms.

Wan Qingyan changed into night clothes, jumped onto the roof, and disappeared into the night.

When she rushed to the Ma Mansion and opened the door of the dark room, she happened to meet Cui Shici's eyes.

At this time, he was kneeling on the ground, struggling hard, trying to break free from the rope with his strength.

"Don't bother, Master Cui. This is a pig knot. Even a pig can't break free, let alone someone as small as you!"

Wan Qingyan closed the door of the dark room and smiled with raised eyebrows.

Cui Shici understood the sarcasm in Wan Qingyan's words.

He glared at her fiercely, disgust almost overflowing from his eyes.

"Mr. Cui, how does it feel to be hungry for a day?

I was afraid you were hungry, so I brought you some mung bean cakes. Come and try them!

Wan Qingyan smiled and took out the packaged mung bean cakes from his pocket.

This was specially packed for him. It is sweet but not greasy and very delicious.

She took out a piece of mung bean cake and handed it to Cui Shici's mouth.

Cui Shici didn't open his mouth, but looked up at Wan Qingyan and sneered.

“Master Cui, you’d better eat it while I still have patience.

Otherwise I will feed you in a way you can’t imagine!”

Wan Qingyan still had a smile on his face, and his tone was gentle and kind.

When Cui Shici heard this, he slowly opened his mouth and swallowed the whole mung bean cake in one bite.

"Host, it turns out that men cannot be treated kindly. They still need to be a little fierce."

The system popped up, and it still liked to watch Wan Qingyan’s strategy to conquer men.

Wan Qingyan ignored the system, turned around to get the mung bean cake, and continued to feed Cui Shici.

She had just handed the second mung bean cake to Cui Shici's mouth.

He actually spat bread crumbs all over Wan Qingyan's face and laughed provocatively.

Upon seeing this, the system immediately pretended to be dead and hung up, fearing that it would be implicated.

"Master Cui, it is said that businessmen are profit-oriented and smart, but why are you so stupid?

You don't even understand the principle that a lack of patience can ruin a great plan."

Wan Qingyan stood up, sneered, and wiped the biscuit crumbs off his face with his sleeve.

"I'm telling you clearly, I won't give in to you.

The Cui family and Li Guoan will send someone to look for me. You can’t keep me locked up for too long…”

Cui Shici gritted his teeth and shouted, veins bulging on his neck.

His eyes were like knives, and he wished he could skin Wan Qingyan alive.

“Mr. Cui, I have to say you are really naive.

The situation outside has changed, and Li Guoan is now helping me.

And the grain merchants also listened to my instructions.

In Qingzhou, you no longer have any cards to play against me.

As for the Cui family, do you believe that they will offend me for you?

You are not a legitimate child, not even a woman.

You also need to dress as a woman to get to where you are today.

Ask yourself, will the Cui family come to save you?

Or when you die, will they send a new agent?"

Wan Qingyan spoke slowly, with arrogance in his eyes and a disdainful and casual tone.

Every word she said pierced Cui Shici's heart.

She wanted to completely break down Cui Shici's defenses both physically and mentally.

After hearing this, Cui Shici was not at all panicked. He looked at him with contempt and laughed.

"You are lying. Li Guoan will never listen to you. She wouldn't dare betray Her Royal Highness.

Don't waste your time, I won't help you."

Wan Qingyan was too lazy to waste any more time talking and decided to teach him how to behave first.

She kicked Cui Shici down, stepped hard on his face with one foot, and spun back and forth.

The other foot stepped hard on his neck, making it difficult for him to breathe.

"Host, don't step on it to death!"

The system mustered up the courage to speak up and persuade.

"Okay, I'll give you a favor."

Wan Qingyan grinned and wiped the soles of his shoes with Cui Shici's face before stopping the attack.

She squatted down, grabbed his collar and pulled him up.

"Mr. Cui, what do you have that is worthy of my deceiving you?

I have in my hands the secret letters between Li Guoan and the princess.

Does Li Guoan have any choice? She can only obey!

If you are unwilling to help me, I will imprison you until you die.

You can also look at your saviors to see if they will come to save you.

If you think it through and are willing to help me, I will definitely not treat you unfairly.

You can name a price, and we can win together!"

Wan Qingyan smiled, and the murderous intent in his eyes slowly faded away.

He turned around and took a piece of mung bean cake and fed it to Cui Shici again.
