Chapter 140 sold for a good price.
Yu Nian leaned closer to Chunyu Han and whispered her plan to him.
That's it?
In Chunyu Han's eyes, Yu Nian's request was utterly insignificant compared to the value of the lottery ticket.
Upon hearing Chunyu Han's question, Yu Nian immediately felt somewhat annoyed.
Hey, I should have made more requests.
...
The next morning, Yu Nian got up early to stake out the location.
The moment Lao Liu clocked in for work, Yu Nian mentally caught him.
"Stop saying anything, Sixth Brother. I trusted you so much, and you actually betrayed me on my birthday. I have to file a complaint against you today. I've already prepared a ten-thousand-word complaint letter."
For the first time ever, Lao Liu was stunned. What was Yu Nian saying? He couldn't understand it.
But the word "complaint" instantly perked Lao Liu up. Yesterday, during the holiday, he had assured his eldest grandson that the sales targets here would definitely be met and there would be no problems.
Wait a minute, calm down. How did I trick you? I was just trying to be nice by preparing a birthday cake for you, and you treat me like this.
"How dare you talk about that lousy cake of yours? After I ate it, I was completely out of control. Last night, I even pounced on Chunyu Han. I lost out big time."
Alright, there's no point in saying all this, I'm going to file a complaint.
Yu Nian felt it was necessary to punish this old geezer system, otherwise it would always use dirty tricks on her.
"Look at you, so hot-tempered as a young man. Even if you want me to die, you should at least let me die knowing why. Let me check, and if it wasn't the cake that was the problem, you can't wrongly accuse me."
The sixth brother muttered under his breath, judging from Yu Nian's agitated state, Chunyu Han probably didn't satisfy her last night.
"Hurry up, stop dawdling, and stop deliberately delaying the time."
Yu Nian felt that it must be the cake's fault, since everything was normal before eating the cake.
[Don't worry, the print on this cake box is too small. Let me find my reading glasses.]
Yu Nian: ...
About ten minutes later, Lao Liu finally finished reading the ingredient list.
【I'm so sorry, granddaughter, it's all because the print on the ingredient list was too small, I didn't pay attention. This is a prop cake, with some fruit jam added inside.】
This jam is a unique product of the sixth grandson's dimension. It's fine for one person to eat it, but if two people eat it and get close to each other, they will stick together. The effect lasts for about two hours.
Yu Nian could only say that her eyes had been opened; this sixth brother could come up with all sorts of things.
"Stop bluffing, what kind of prop is this piece of junk?"
Hmm... sex toys...
Yu Nian: Okay, never mind.
Don't be angry, I really didn't mean to mess with you this time. We've been working together for so long, this is such a small thing, it's not worth complaining about. It was unintentional, please have pity on me, I'm so old and still sticking to my post...
Don't try that on me.
Yu Nian impatiently interrupted Lao Liu's performance, telling him not to engage in such empty talk.
How about I give you something as compensation?
"Okay, and by the way, you've exempted me from a week of life-extending missions."
Yu Nian readily agreed, as if she had been waiting for Lao Liu to say those words.
Lao Liu was speechless; this girl was playing tricks on him!
Okay, wait a minute.
After fiddling around for a while, the sixth brother managed to pry out a pill.
[This War God Pill, originally priced at 10,000 merit points, is being given away for free today. It's mint flavored, refreshing, and vacuum-packed for cleanliness and hygiene.]
Yu Nian looked at the pill that had appeared in her consciousness. It looked like a big black ball in a vacuum bag—a counterfeit product with no manufacturer, no production date, and no quality certification…
"Sixth Brother, don't take this opportunity to inflate prices. This thing looks very un-warrior-like."
So what? Does the War God Pill have to contain a War God? There's no wife in Wife Cake, but it's still called that.
Don't be ignorant! This War God Pill will instantly boost your strength, making you feel like a war god has possessed you. With your small frame, you could easily take on ten opponents.
To be honest, Yu Nian was a little tempted. She was currently lacking this life-saving item, and Chunyu Han had also taken away her safety amulet that could protect her from fatal injuries.
If I had a War God Pill by my side, at least I would feel a little safe.
"There aren't any deadly side effects, are there?"
Yu Nian still asked cautiously.
It certainly won't kill me, but I'll definitely be exhausted. Gaining superhuman power always comes at a price.
"Deal, I'll take it. But if there's any strange reaction this time, don't blame me for being ruthless and filing a complaint."
As Yu Nian was pondering where to put the War God Pill, she suddenly realized that Chunyu Han's pleasure level had actually reached its maximum last night.
It seems Chunyu Han had a pretty good birthday yesterday.
As a reward, Yu Nian received one cubic meter of storage space.
Although it's not big, it's much more convenient to put some personal belongings there than before.
Moreover, Yu Nian felt that its greatest use was for hiding her secret stash of money, so she no longer had to bend over and dig holes to steal from others.
After doing all this, Yu Nian began to prepare the things she would need for the operation that night. Now everything was ready, and all that was needed was the right opportunity.
...
As dusk fell, at the Ministry of Personnel.
Lu Mingsi was looking in the mirror, trying on the jewelry that Lu Mingzhu had given her as part of her betrothal gifts.
"This tea merchant is really generous. The jewelry he gave away is top-notch, and its quality is no worse than that of noble families."
The thought of these wonderful things becoming her dowry brought a smile to Lu Mingsi's face.
"That's right. When your mother chooses things for you, of course she won't choose anything bad. That little slut didn't eat our food for nothing; she did get a good price."
Lu Bai sipped her tea contentedly, in a very good mood. The tea merchant, having postponed the wedding, sent two more boxes as an apology.
Lu Mingsi smiled and twirled in front of the mirror, admiring her gorgeous jewelry.
"Thank you, Mother. You're so resourceful. You managed to get so many good things from someone who just eats for nothing. You must find a good marriage for me in the future."
Lu Mingsi actually wanted to enter the Eastern Palace. Given her status, if her father put in a good word for her, she would definitely be eligible.
With her mother's help, even if she becomes a concubine of the crown prince, she can slowly plan her way up until the crown prince ascends the throne, at which point she will surely become a noble consort!
Lu Mingsi had seen Lu Mingyue return home for a visit once; it was incredibly luxurious and dazzling. Even that kind of slut had such good fortune, so she wasn't lacking in anything either.
"Of course, you're my only precious darling..."
As Madam Lu Bai was talking to Lu Mingsi, a maid from the manor hurriedly came over to report.
When Madam Lu saw that it was the maid in charge of looking after Lu Mingzhu's courtyard, she frowned.
"What's wrong? Is that girl causing a scene?"
Upon hearing this, the maid quickly shook her head: "No, Madam, I just went to the courtyard to deliver food to Miss Mingzhu, but when I got there I found that Miss Mingzhu wasn't in her room at all..."
