Chapter 408: Hongmen Banquet



But Qian Ruoyu knew without even thinking that this must be a Hongmen Banquet.

Neither Qian Ruocheng nor Huang would be so kind as to invite me casually, let alone at this critical juncture. It was obvious that I had been very reluctant in the past.

But Qian Ruoyu knew in his heart that it was impossible not to go at this time. The matter of the 30,000 taels of silver had to be explained clearly, and the matter of the special potion also had to be explained clearly.

But at this time Qian Ruoyu was still thinking in his heart how to completely empty out all the assets of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

This is the plan that Qian Ruoyu has in mind.

After Yi Zhouxing said this, Qian Ruoyu immediately called Jin Lianhua and prepared to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion together.

Will Qian Ruoyu feel scared as long as the golden lotus is around?

With the strength of Golden Lotus, Qian Ruoyu believed that even if he followed her into the palace or into a dangerous place, no one would come to deal with him.

It is completely possible to avert danger.

Just as they arrived at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Qian Ruoyu suddenly said to Jin Lianhua beside him.

"Lotus, let's split up now. I'll go to the main hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion to meet with them. As for you, investigate it for me. Go to my father's room and try to find any account books to find out how much silver is hidden in the Prime Minister's Mansion."

Hearing Qian Ruoyu say this, Jin Lianhua naturally nodded immediately, and then followed Qian Ruoyu's lead in taking any action.

Qian Ruoyu had just finished speaking when Jin Lianhua glanced at the high wall of the Prime Minister's Mansion beside her, then used the force of the jump to climb over the wall in two or three leaps and entered directly into the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Qian Ruoyu took the initiative to come to the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The person standing at the door was the butler.

After all, no one would come to greet Shang Fei no matter what, and everyone would think that coming to greet Qian Ruoyu would be a very shameful thing.

The most suitable person to do this is actually Qian Ruocheng.

If Qian Ruocheng was really there to greet her at the door, Qian Ruoyu would not have felt that this was a Hongmen Banquet.

At least he invited me here, and it should be Qian Ruocheng who came to thank me. Now, not only did he not see Qian Ruocheng, he was even welcomed by the housekeeper. This was enough to show that this was a complete Hongmen Banquet.

Qian Ruoyu didn't waste any time and didn't exchange a few words with the housekeeper. Instead, he walked straight into the Prime Minister's Mansion and came to the hall.

A large table had been set up in the hall, with more than twenty dishes placed on it. They looked of extremely high standard, but after Qian Ruoyu saw the dishes, he immediately felt that something was up.

When Qian Ruoyu was seen, there were Qian Ruocheng, Huang Shi and Qian Ruocheng sitting at the table.

Qian Ruocheng's face was slightly angry at this time. Although he had tried hard to suppress it, Qian Ruoyu could still vaguely see it.

Huang said to Zhang Fei with a smile.

"Oh, Yu'er, you're finally here. Your father had someone prepare such a large table of dishes early in the morning. You're finally here. We were worried that you wouldn't come!"

Just as she finished speaking, the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion behind her slowly closed.

Huang did not stand up when he said this, and he looked malicious.

Qian Ruoyu was just pretending to greet him.

"Since Daddy invited me here, how could I not come? But why is the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion closed in broad daylight? Are we going to rest like this today?"

Huang's expression changed slightly when she suddenly heard Qian Ruoyu say this, but Qian Ruocheng spoke calmly.

"It's okay to lock the door, it's just to keep out the wind and dust."

"Dad is very happy that you can come."

Qian Ruoyu just nodded slightly, and then sat directly opposite the three people. It seemed that the two sides were on opposite sides.

This table can seat eight people, but only four people are sitting at it at this moment, and the other seats look empty.

Qian Ruoyu took a look and found that Qian Ruocheng was in a daze at this time, so Qian Ruoyu also said.

"Dad, didn't you say that you wanted my brother to come and thank me? I'm already here, why don't you let my brother thank me properly? Otherwise, are we just going to have this meal for nothing?"

Qian Ruocheng nodded slightly.

"Cheng'er, since your sister is here, you should thank her."

"If it weren't for her, I don't know whether you would be dead or alive now."

After hearing this, Qian Ruocheng nodded immediately, but did not stand up or make any other unnecessary gestures. He just spoke to Qian Ruoyu in a very calm tone.

"Oh, thank you, sister."

Seeing this scene is even more important. Qian Ruoyu is sure that nothing good has happened today. This family of three is indeed different. They are not even willing to pretend.

But Qian Ruoyu just kept a calm expression, and then spoke to the three of them at the same time.

"Oh, it's nothing. I just spent a little more money. After all, the special potion is not mine. I also think that 30,000 taels of silver is expensive. I just didn't expect my brother to be so perfunctory about stealing."

"I said, Second Madam."

"I don't know if it's because you didn't discipline me or what, but why is my brother so perfunctory in his apology?"

Huang was furious when she suddenly heard Qian Ruoyu talking about her, but at this moment she could only laugh it off with Qian Ruoyu.

After all, the master has the final say on how to punish Qian Ruoyu, so Huang said with a fake smile.

"Oh, how could your brother be so ignorant? He is just being rude to people, not things. Although he likes to apologize to others and is very polite, not everyone can get his full respect."

The situation on the table was already tense.

Qian Ruoyu said even more directly.

"So that's how it is. Can't you just say it's a double standard?"

"This kid is so hypocritical. It seems that he is two-faced. On the surface, he appears to respect and honor you, but in reality, he is actually disobeying you. Do you think this is what you mean?"

Huang was stunned for a moment.

Sure enough, the corners of his mouth trembled slightly. He never expected that Qian Ruoyu would use such words to refute him, which stunned Huang for a moment.

She had never imagined that Qian Ruoyu was so good at talking, and for a moment she almost couldn't say anything back.

After thinking about it, Huang said.

"Of course that's not what I meant. Cheng'er is polite and courteous to everyone, but I didn't expect him to be so different when it comes to you. Shouldn't you reflect on whether it's your problem or his?"
