"Yes, he's my brother." He Yan looked gossipy. "Have you known my brother for a long time?"
"Not long." Song Tingwan shook his head and did not ask why the two siblings had the surnames He and Lu respectively.
Lu Zhou took big steps and quickly walked in front of the two of them. He stared at his sister and asked, "Why are you here?"
He Yan's eyes widened immediately. "I'm here to celebrate your success! What? You don't welcome me?"
Lu Zhou was helpless. "Miss, please let me know in advance so I can pick you up."
After saying that, Lu Zhou looked at Song Tingwan who was standing beside him. "Miss Song, this is my sister. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you by being so careless. Do you mind if I take my sister along?"
Song Tingwan smiled, "Of course I don't mind. I saw him last time at the supermarket, so we're acquaintances. By the way, where are Grandpa Li and Mr. Ye?"
"They said they couldn't go anymore and let us young people have fun."
Song Tingwan raised an eyebrow and said nothing, "Then let's go."
Lu Zhou drove here himself, parking his Mercedes-Benz in a prominent position on the side of the road.
When the car lights came on, He Yan jumped into the car, as if she was afraid that Lu Zhou would suddenly change his mind and not let her go.
Lu Zhou shook his head and opened the back door.
Song Tingwan sat in without hesitation and said, "Thank you."
At the entrance of the venue, Sun Xinyuan and Song Jiagang saw this scene as they came out.
God really helps her!
Sun Xinyuan suppressed her inner excitement and pretended to be worried. "Brother Jia, after leaving the Song family, Sister Wanwan had no source of funds and her living standards dropped significantly. She wouldn't be forced to do bad things because of money, right?"
Seeing that Song Jia's face was not depressed, Sun Xinyuan began to exaggerate, "I have seen this man before. He seems to be the driver of a rich old man. Sister Wanwan entered today with the highest level black gold invitation letter, and now she is in his car..."
Every sentence is not explicit, but points to one meaning: Song Tingwan is being kept by a rich old man!
Song Jia snorted coldly, "What a disgrace to our Song family!"
Where Song Jia couldn't see, Sun Xinyuan's lips curled up in a triumphant smile.

Fengxian County.
Large groups of carriages and horses entered the county town. The items on the carriages were covered with cloth and no one could see what was inside. However, a big word "grain" was printed on the flag of the caravan, and an official seal was attached.
It’s disaster relief grain from the imperial court!
The onlookers dispersed after they figured out what it was.
Now that they have no shortage of food, there is naturally nothing to be surprised about.
When passing by the side of the yamen, Xuanwu ordered them to deliver the food and grass to the granary, and he turned around to report to his master.
Along the way, he also felt strange.
In such a severe famine, why didn't the people feel happy at all when they saw food and fodder?
Why do they all look so radiant and don’t look like they are hungry at all?
In this way, Xuanwu entered the lobby of the county government office with full of doubts.
Xuanwu bowed to the superior, "Master, the court has allocated relief grain, and it has been put into the granary."
Two days ago, a spy sent a message saying that Xuanwu was about to reach Fengxian County, so Xiao Yunze rushed back to Fengxian County as soon as he finished dealing with the affairs in Suizhou. He urgently needed to know his father's opinion on the issue of water diversion to fight drought.
Xiao Yunze: "How is it? Has the second memorial been submitted to the court?"
"Sir, the Emperor has spoken, leaving everything to you. He has also sent people from the Ministry of Works to assist you. Three people from the Ministry of Works are already on their way and will likely arrive in Feng County in a few days."
Xiao Yunze nodded to indicate that he understood.
Xuanwu continued, "Master, the person who intercepted our letters and memorials has been caught."
"oh?"
"They are the Third Prince's men. They are left alive in the capital."
A fierce look flashed in Xiao Yunze's eyes, and his fingers tapped the armrest lightly, "It's him again."
Zhuque looked indignant. "Master, the Third Prince is acting this way. Shouldn't we fight back? Do we really have to tolerate him over and over again?"
Xiao Yunze thought for a while, "No rush, it won't be too late to deal with him after returning to the capital. The most important thing right now is to solve the drought and planting problems."
"Suzaku, go and take the big box I brought back from Suizhou." Xiao Yunze stood up and walked out, "I need to go see the genius doctor girl."
"yes!"
Seeing Xiao Yunze leave, Xuanwu grabbed Zhuque and asked, "Where are Qinglong and Baihu?"
"Ah, I went to Huai County and Suizhou a few days ago and took down several corrupt officials and those who colluded with them."
"I said there were more powerful people behind them, so I had Baihu escort them to the capital, while Qinglong stayed there to handle the aftermath."
Xuanwu nodded, then raised a new question. "Before I left, Feng County was still short of water and food. Why were the people so indifferent to the imperial court's food and fodder? But they bought food and fodder from the miracle doctor girl?"
Zhuque smiled slyly, "You don't know this, do you? After I deliver the things to you, I'll tell you in detail. The things that the miracle doctor girl has are sure to open your eyes!"

Sifang City.
Still in that private restaurant, in the private dining room on the second floor, Song Tingwan and He Yan sat together, listening to Lu Zhou announce the final price of each lot.
"A green-glazed porcelain vase worth 36 million, three jade pendants worth 5.9 million, two jade hairpins worth 2.7 million, and ten gold ingots worth 11 million..."
After listing them one by one, Lu Zhou turned to the last page. "A total of 33 pieces of collection, sold for a great price of 81.1 million."
"No way!" He Yan exclaimed, looking at Song Tingwan with admiration, "Sister! You have so many collections! 81.1 million! A whopping price!"
Then he glared at his brother across from him, feigning anger. "Lu Zhou! Why didn't you take me in to see the auction? It's such a spectacular spectacle!"
Lu Zhou: "Miss, I gave you an invitation. It's because you're so famous that I can't even invite you."
He Yan was choked, she couldn't refute...
"That's because you didn't tell me that Sister Wanwan was on the auction!"
Lu Zhou said calmly, "Alright, next time I tie you up, I'll tie you up and let you in."
Seeing how the brother and sister get along with each other, Song Tingwan couldn't help but chuckle.
She really didn't expect Lu Zhou to be like this in private...
Hearing the sound, Lu Zhou stopped He Yan and turned to look at Song Tingwan. "I'm sorry, my sister is always making trouble. I made you laugh."
Song Tingwan smiled and shook her head. "Continue with the topic you were talking about. The food will be served soon."
Lu Zhou gave He Yan a look to signal her to be quiet, then picked up the price list again. "As for the auction, the company will charge a commission. Also, regarding taxes, will they be deducted together, or will Miss Song file her own tax return later?"
Song Tingwan thought it was too much trouble and said, "Let's deduct them all at once."
"Okay." Lu Zhou ticked the "Payment and Withholding" box and immediately opened the calculator on his phone to start calculating.
Soon, Lu Zhou showed the results to Song Tingwan. "After deducting all expenses, this is the number."
When Song Tingwan saw the numbers on the screen clearly, her heart beat uncontrollably.
