This is the entertainment industry! No tantrums or shouting allowed!

Due to differing ideologies, a rift gradually developed between the ruler and his ministers.

The empress valued literature, so the Grand Secretary's status rose higher and higher, and he wielded immense power.

The general, however, was promoted in name only but demoted in reality. Disheartened, he volunteered to be stationed on the frontier.

But at this critical moment, the Empress died of poisoning.

Wen Yao's gaze was calm: "General, don't you think you are the prime suspect?"

The General said, "I have no way to defend myself! But I believe the innocent will clear themselves!"

Yun Xing was shocked: "Brother, could it really be that you poisoned and killed the Empress?!"

The general wished he could throw this naive and innocent girl out!

Is this something you can just say carelessly?

"Here's what I'll do. I'll give you a transfer order. Go to Steward Lu's office and retrieve the case file from that day. It records all the details of the Empress's death from poisoning."

Wen Yao: "Thank you, General."

She pulled out her initial task for achieving political merit: "Could you please stamp this for me?"

The general glanced at it: "One thousand taels."

Wen Yao was about to take out her money when Yun Xing stopped her.

"Brother! She is my sister. Sisters walk together for life. If you break my sister's wings, I will destroy your entire paradise!"

The general said expressionlessly, "I don't understand what you're saying."

"You're not allowed to take money from my sisters!" Yunxing lay down on the ground. "Otherwise, I won't get up!"

General: ???

Where did this brat come from?!

"Yunxing! You are the sister of my General Zhenbei, how could you behave in such a childish and shameless manner?"

"You scoundrel, huh? Then I'll show you how to be a scoundrel!" Yunxing started rolling twice to the left and twice to the right, shouting, "You're not allowed to take her money! You're not allowed to take her money! Ahh ...

The general, having reached his limit, finally had no choice but to stamp Wen Yao's seal for free.

Yun Xing scrambled to her feet in a second, tidying her messy hair: "Thank you, brother~"

General: ...Having a brat sister is such a headache.

When Wen Yao arrived at Steward Lu's place, she found Gu Yanzheng and Joshua playing pitch-pot.

Gu Yan breathed on the arrow: "Dude, today I'll show you what a master of pitch-pot really is!"

Paji——

The arrow fell to the ground.

Joshua suddenly realized: "So the rule is to throw it outside the pot?"

Gu Yan: ...You're killing me by breaking my spirit, buddy.

[Haha, Josius knows how to cut someone's heart!]

Even memorizing jokes at 5 a.m. can't compare to a naturally gifted player like Joshua.

...

Steward Lu explained again: "Please note, sir, that's how you score a point—it's only if the arrow lands in the pot. Each person gets three arrows, and whoever scores the most wins."

Josius nodded, picked up the arrow, and tossed it casually—

"Clang—"

in!

Gu Yan broke down: "Damn, are you using an auto-aiming cheat?"

"Isn't this something anyone can do?" Joshua asked in bewilderment, successfully pulling off a Versailles-like maneuver.

Enraged, Gu Yan threw a second arrow.

It grazed the edge and fell to the ground.

The third arrow finally went in.

But Joshua was hit by two more arrows, won the victory, and received a reward of five thousand taels.

"Sister." Only then did Joshua notice Wen Yao, a hint of a smile appearing in his blue eyes. He handed the silver notes he had just received to Wen Yao, "Take these and spend them."

Gu Yan was displeased: "Hey, you're an envoy from the Western Regions, what are you doing here claiming kinship with!"

Joshua said sincerely, "I like pretty girls, so I want to give them money to spend."

Gu Yan condemned: "Greasy!"

Joshua asked earnestly, "Then what does it mean to not be greasy?"

"Watch closely, I'll teach you once—" Gu Yan shook his leg and said nonchalantly, "You, yes you! Hand over all the money!"

Wen Yao:?

"you sure?"

【Danger!!】

[Yanzi has already found a way to die!!]

[She's completely forgotten how painful the slap was!]
