Upon hearing this, Yu Yingji's eyes flashed with a hint of irony. "I heard that Officer Si and the eldest young master of the Lu family have a very good personal relationship. Now it seems that the rumors are indeed true."

"Young Master Lu's sister is getting engaged, and Officer Si, as a good friend, came to congratulate her... It seems the two of them are indeed very close."

The implication is that Lu Wensheng is unloved and can only rely on his brother Lu Xiuyuan's network of contacts to gain some face for himself.

He even secretly accused the procuratorate of favoring Lu Wensheng and Lu Youyou because of their personal relationship.

Si Yan seemed not to have heard Yu Yingji's words. He just turned around and opened the tray held by a prosecutor behind him, revealing a bright yellow, exquisite and low-key carved porcelain on it.

The moment this thing was revealed, everyone's attention was focused on it.

“Is this… a vase?!”

"It looks quite new... and it doesn't look like a valuable antique..."

Suddenly, most people looked confused.

People who don't know the inside story will just look at this thing as a precious porcelain and assess its value.

But among those who came to the Lu family to attend the engagement banquet, there were also many knowledgeable people who could see at a glance what this porcelain represented.

Immediately, deep horror appeared in his eyes.

This is……

Yu Yingji carefully observed the porcelain, and a thought flashed through his mind.

But the next moment, she denied it.

This is impossible!

Country H has a population of over a billion, so there are plenty of geniuses, including some of the best. How could Lu Youyou and Lu Wensheng deserve such an honor?!

A flash of disdain flashed through Yu Yingji's heart. She looked at Si Yan and said sarcastically, "To Miss Lu's engagement party, they sent such a shabby piece of porcelain. It's not even an antique... It shows that the person who asked Officer Si to deliver the gift is not very respectable!"

Si Yan glanced at her, his eyes deep and his tone calm, "This is an engagement gift specially sent to Lu Youyou."

He looked at Lu Xiuyuan, a smile crossing his lips. "Tell Lu Youyou that 'National Father' has always been thinking about you, a good girl. Tell her to grow up quickly and become a good girl who contributes to 'National Father' as soon as possible."

In an instant, the whole audience was in an uproar.

One after another, horrified eyes were all cast at the vase, which looked ordinary in every way.

Yu Yingji's arrogant expression froze in an instant.

She suddenly lowered her head and stared at the porcelain, her eyes full of disbelief.

This is impossible!

Lu Youyou is just Lu Wensheng's "second personality." She doesn't have Lu Wensheng's extraordinary mathematical talent. Her background is obvious, and she's prone to assault and murder. Such a cruel and violent psychopath... How could she deserve such supreme honor?!

After the other people at the scene came to their senses, they looked at the vase again with envy in their eyes.

This is... a state gift!

This is an engagement gift specially sent for Lu Youyou!

Although it doesn't look very valuable, the value of this gift is not even as much as the corner of this vase, even compared to the gifts given by everyone present.

At the same time, Si Yan's move also made everyone present understand one thing.

The higher-ups chose this time to openly send Lu Youyou an engagement gift. In addition to appreciating Lu Wensheng's talent, they were probably also taking the opportunity to warn certain people that Lu Youyou and Lu Wensheng were being protected by the higher-ups, and they were not allowed to touch her.

Immediately, meaningful glances were cast at Yu Yingji and Xu Jiayu one after another.

Xu Jiayu looked unhappy.

Yu Yingji looked at the porcelain with anger in her eyes.

Once this thing appeared, the Yu family would never dare to kill Lu Wensheng openly as they did before, unless they didn't want to live!

Thinking of what she had just said, Yu Yingji's face turned even redder. She stood there biting her lips tightly, wishing she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

Because the gift was so shocking, the scene fell silent for a moment.

After a long while, Yu Yingji finally came back to her senses from the humiliation and shame. Seeing that no one was outside the hall, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing Lu Xiuyuan ordering the people around him to come forward, collect the vase, and pass it to Lu Qingtang, she lowered her voice and said sarcastically, "No matter how nice the words are, isn't it all for profit?"

"Lu Wensheng lived for eighteen years, but in the end, there was no one who truly cared about her."

"From the beginning to the end, all everyone saw was her talent."

"Not a single one came here truly for her!"

"She lived in this world, but never received any genuine care or blessing. Isn't such a life pitiful, no matter how smart she was or how high she rose?"

"Don't you think so, Master Lu?!"

Lu Xiuyuan's eyes turned colder, but he was unable to refute Yu Yingji's sarcasm.

This is the sin of the Lu family themselves...

Faced with such accusations, you can only bear it yourself!

Seeing Lu Xiuyuan remained silent, Yu Yingji knew she had hit a sore spot for Lu Wensheng. She sneered and was about to continue her ridicule when a group of people suddenly walked in from outside the hall...
