"Who doesn't know that Princess Jing has been doted on deeply? And now she wants to marry again as the descendant of the Yun clan. In Navy Tide Palace, this can be considered the first precedent." Qi Yu had a smile on her face, but her eyes were ice-cold.

Gu Mingyan raised her eyebrows. She didn't expect Qi Yu to be such a vengeful person.

"You don't need to say anything sarcastic here." Qi Rou came out from behind the stage, a smile on her face, as if she was seriously in love with Qi Yu. She then said softly, "If you are truly filial, but you have been here for so long, yet you have never gone to see your father. I'm afraid that the weasel would not be here to greet the chicken."

"Rou Er, long time no see. You're quite the eloquent one now." Qi Yu covered her mouth and chuckled, "I came here today to discuss business with father. If father is willing, I will accept the Misty Rain Pavilion."

"What big words." Qi Rou slowly raised her hand and put down the book in her hand. She leaned against the side of the stage and said with a smile, "However, if it's about business, I would welcome you. I've already booked a room at the restaurant nearby. Why don't we have a nice talk."

"I want to talk to Father." Qi Yu raised her eyebrows.

"I'm the one negotiating business in Misty Rain Pavilion right now." Qi Rou did not stay for long. She hooked her fingers at Gu Pingyan as she brought the two maidservants to a nearby restaurant.

He was clearly not prepared to let Qi Yu have a chance to resist. Seeing that Qi Rou was willing to bring him to watch the show, Gu Ming Yan stood up and followed her, walking beside her, "You're confident."

"She once acted so arrogantly in the Manor. Now, it's my turn." Qi Rou smiled faintly.

Gu Danyan subconsciously shrunk her neck and thought for a second. Although Qi Yu had found a good marriage partner outside, Qi Rou had not only taken care of the Misty Rain Pavilion, she also did other things as well. If they were to fight against each other, they probably wouldn't lose.

Thinking of this, Gu Daiyan relaxed.

Not long after the two of them arrived at the restaurant, Qi Yu came over with a darkened expression.

If they really wanted to talk about this business, they really did want Misty Rain Pavilion. They needed to meet Qi Ming, and they should indeed talk to Qi Rou.

However, Qi Rou had laughed herself into her trap the moment she had gotten here. She had always felt uncomfortable in her heart.

The several of them randomly ordered some dishes. The waiter also frequently brought food to Prince Jing's mansion. He placed the cloth on his shoulder, then cupped his hands towards Gu Daiyan with a smile: "Congratulations, consort."

Only then did he remember that the second son was congratulating him on getting married. Unfortunately, she was broke and had no money, so he could only look at Qi Rou. Qi Rou helplessly took out a silver ingot and gave it to the waiter: "This is given by Crown Princess Jing. Go and get some peach blossoms to brew."

"Many thanks to Crown Princess Jing, many thanks to Second Young Miss!" The waiter held the silver in one hand while holding onto the second floor railing. He shouted to the people downstairs, "A table of good dishes with two peach blossoms drunk, a plate of golden jade filled hall, plus an Luan Feng and Ming Ming, one serving of each of the candied date paste cake!"

The waiter shouted so loudly that almost everyone heard him. Qi Rou naturally responded to the call from Jin Yu Hall, while Gu Pingyan responded to the call from Luan Feng. The two of them looked at each other helplessly.

After a while, the waiter shouted, "Today, the princess will treat you to wine!"

Once she said that, Qi Rou also started laughing. She gave another few more silver taels to the shopkeeper, who came up to give her his blessings. It was even more lively downstairs.

Qi Yu, on the other hand, was watching quietly. She held her cup in her hand and frowned, "Since when did Sky Fire City become so noisy as well?"

"People from the streets and outsiders are starting to take root." Qi Rou raised her eyebrows and looked at her, "When you left that day, even the waiter of this restaurant knew most of it, but it wasn't lively."

"Look at how greedy that waiter was. This kind of person shouldn't be dirtying the human eye in a place like Sky Flame." Qi Yu was still full of disdain.

Gu Liuyan was also not used to hearing these words, but since this was Qi Rou's home ground, she did not have the time to talk. She could only wait for the dishes to be served, then open the window and look down from a distance.

"Recently, my husband has found some pretty good rouge from the Western Regions and other small countries, and there are even more rare things. After all, I am the daughter of the Qi family. Qi Yu finally explained her purpose of visit and even passed a thick booklet to Qi Rou.

There were a lot of strange things written on it. Gu Pingyan only took a glance before he lifted the corner of his mouth and turned his head to look outside the window.

After a while, Qi Rou closed the booklet and returned it to Qi Yu. "Big sister always does things differently. It really makes my eyes light up."

"It's good that you know this. Otherwise, if we continue to fight, the fall of Misty Rain Guild will happen sooner or later." Qi Yu took the booklet back proudly.

"Such a good opportunity. If I were big sister, I would definitely not give it to anyone else." Qi Rou sneered, "It's not easy to transport these things here from far away. Just the cost of the journey alone is not small. I'm afraid that brother-in-law's financial resources are insufficient."

"How could that be? If my husband doesn't have money, then it's natural that he won't be able to find these small things." Qi Yu said in dissatisfaction, "By the looks of it, the things in Fanghua Pavilion are not much worse than those in Misty Rain Pavilion. We also have a lot more than those in Misty Rain Pavilion."

"Indeed. For better or worse, Fanghua Pavilion is still a place for everyone. I'm sure that brother-in-law took a fancy to his elder sister's ability and married you to enter the sect." The smile on Qi Rou's face caused Qi Yu's back to feel numb.

"What do you mean?"

"I'm helping you, big sister." Qi Rou smiled and waved at Gu Daiyan, who then turned to look at Qi Yu, "Qi Yu, you came over to say that you want to work together, so you might as well say that you're looking for someone else."

Qi Yu's expression changed and she bit her lower lip.

After sipping on the Peach Blossom Wine, Gu Pingyan helped Qi Rou and said softly, "When your husband married you, his motives were not pure. Initially, you wanted to take your husband and go against Qi Rou, but after such a long time, the two of you still haven't made a decision.

Qi Rou also looked at Qi Yu with sparkling eyes.

She and Gu Daiyan were pretty similar in intelligence. If Qi Rou could see the business opportunity, then Gu Daiyan could understand the human heart.

Qi Yu did not expect to be exposed, so she simply pointed at Qi Rou and said, "Isn't it all your fault!"

Qi Rou was a little confused by the scolding, while Gu Pingyan was stunned for a moment before he finally reacted and shook his head: "No wonder you don't want to meet Qi Rou, you have to meet Old Master Qi."

"Looks like your husband has his eyes on Qi Rou's talent. No wonder he abandoned you." Gu Daiyan quickly said.
