My father, on horseback, is the empire's dragon commander; off horseback, he is the current prime minister. People call me the Young Prime Minister.
My father and I both feared being slau...
"What happened in the kitchen, Yu Cen?"
"Oh, it's nothing!"
"Try it quickly, the soup is getting cold." Du Yucheng picked up a soup spoon and put it to Wang Yucen's lips.
"I can do it myself." Wang Yucen quickly picked up the bowl and took a small sip.
Du Yucheng asked, "Is it good?"
"It's delicious!" Wang Yucen nodded.
Du Yucheng laughed and said, "Then hurry up and finish it!"
Wang Yucen rubbed her stomach and shook her head, saying, "I'm too full to drink anything."
"Well... I'll leave it here for now, and I'll heat it up for you when it gets cold!"
Seeing that Du Yucheng showed no sign of leaving, Wang Yucen rolled her eyes and said, "Brother Chengdu, I'm a little sleepy."
"I'll stay a little longer and then leave."
Before Wang Yucen could get rid of him, Du Yucheng continued, "The Right Prime Minister's residence is really lively today. Even the Gun Demon Wen Pojun has come. Yucen, you have to admit that Zhao Cheng is really bold, daring to offend even Wen Pojun."
When Zhao Cheng was mentioned, Wang Yucen became interested and chimed in, "Brother Zhao Cheng is not afraid of anything! What is Wen Pojun? Although Brother Zhao Cheng can't fight, he's cunning. A hundred Wen Pojuns wouldn't be a match for him."
"Is your... Brother Zhao Cheng really that amazing?"
"Of course!" Wang Yucen said proudly, as if Zhao Cheng were her own brother: "You went to the state banquet too, didn't you see that Zhou Jinghuan was completely outmatched by Brother Zhao Cheng?"
Du Yucheng was unconvinced and said, "That's because Zhao Cheng has already gotten together with the Princess. With the Princess backing him up, Zhou Jinghuan has no choice but to step in."
Wang Yucen asked, "What did the Southern Spy Star say? Brother Zhao Cheng defeated the Southern Zhou spies three times!"
Du Yucheng said, “Zhao Cheng has experts by his side, as well as soldiers from the Right Prime Minister’s mansion. You saw it today too. Although the Right Prime Minister’s mansion only has three hundred soldiers left, their momentum… To be honest, if I were to take these three hundred soldiers to the battlefield, they would be more effective than the three thousand men under the General!”
Wang Yucen was also unconvinced and asked again, "Then Brother Zhao Cheng is also very good at business. Look at the immortal wine he sells, no one dislikes it!"
"Immortal Wine is indeed a fine wine." Du Yucheng first affirmed Zhao Cheng, then changed the subject and said, "But even the best wine needs advertising! The reason why Immortal Wine sells so well is because Zhao Cheng relies on his connections and family background."
Wang Yucen pouted.
Du Yucheng continued, "Yu Cen, you treat Zhao Cheng as your brother, so he's been romanticized in your eyes. As far as I know, he's actually just a spoiled brat who runs rampant in Yanchuan City. The reason he's become so famous in the last two years is simply because of the Right Chancellor and the Eldest Princess. How much ability does he really have?"
Wang Yucen was displeased and said, "You're talking nonsense!"
Despite knowing that Wang Yucen was angry, Du Yucheng did not want to stop; he wanted to tear off Zhao Cheng's pretense in front of Wang Yucen.
I'll prove Zhao Cheng incompetent; I'll have to appeal to Chengdu!
"Doing business requires experience. No one is born knowing how to do business. Even if he was a businessman in his past life, he still has to start from scratch in this life. But think about it, he just started selling immortal wine, and he can become a great merchant overnight? Without his father and wife's help, he would be nothing!"
Du Yucheng snorted coldly and said, "Look at today, didn't we still have to rely on the Princess to step in?"
"Zhao Cheng is just a freeloader who lives off his parents!"
"Stop talking!!" Wang Yucen was genuinely angry. She stood up and said angrily, "Don't talk about him like that, he's my brother!"
Du Yucheng said forcefully, "Yu Cen, wake up! Your brother is General Wang Yuluan of the Cloud Cavalry! Your brother is the former General Wang Yufeng of the Zhaoyong Army! And Zhao Cheng is the murderer who killed your brother Wang Yufeng!"
Bang!
Wang Yucen swept the table, knocking over the soup bowl, and shouted, "Get out!!"
“Yu Cen…”
"go out!!!"
Wang Yucen covered her ears with both hands and stomped her feet, shouting, "I won't listen! I won't listen!!!"
"Okay, okay, I'll go, I'll go. Don't be angry, go to sleep early..." Du Yucheng quickly pushed him out and closed the door.
He stood at the door for a while, then a smug smile appeared on his face.
He had his own calculations in mind.
The angrier Wang Yucen got, the more effective his words became.
He wanted Wang Yucen to face reality: no matter what your relationship with Zhao Cheng was, Zhao Cheng was the murderer of your brother. This was a fact that could not be changed!
The better your relationship with Zhao Cheng, the more conflicted you should feel inside!
In this way, a rift will form in your heart, until you can't stand it anymore and you will completely break with Zhao Cheng!
Du Yucheng became more and more excited as he thought about it, and strode towards his room.
But just as he turned the corner, he heard the sound of a door opening behind him.
He quickly hid and looked back, seeing Wang Yucen walk out of the room.
"Where is she going so late?"
Du Yucheng, filled with doubt, secretly followed them.
Kitchen.
Wang Yucen pulled Qiu Shu along to the kitchen, and then politely told the kitchen servants her requirements. The cooks were very enthusiastic towards the well-behaved and lovely Wang Yucen, providing her with any ingredients she wanted.
Wang Yucen patiently busied herself by the stove, adding ingredients and seasonings to the pot.
As night deepened, Wang Yucen brought the freshly cooked soup to Zhou Nuo's door.
The lights were still on inside.
Wang Yucen cleared her throat and said, "Brother Zhao Cheng, Sister Zhou Nuo, are you asleep?"
The door was immediately opened by Zhao Cheng.
Zhao Cheng exclaimed in surprise, "Sister Yu Cen, what brings you here?"
Wang Yucen said, "You've been drinking a lot of alcohol these past few days, so this is a hangover soup I just made for you."
