Fengjie lay on the table and laughed. As she laughed, she suddenly started to cry.
Leng Yu hated to see women cry, so he frowned and asked:
"Are you okay? Someone come..."
"Need not."
She looked up at him.
"You don't like me that much? You wish I could disappear from your sight right now, right?"
"No, you drank too much. You should go back and rest early."
Sister Feng shook her head vigorously.
"I had already made up my mind before I came here today. I won't leave until I'm drunk with you."
After saying that, she simply picked up the wine jug, put her hand to the spout, and started drinking.
For a woman like her who hangs out with men, drinking is a natural thing for her.
After drinking a pot of wine, she raised her drunken eyes and looked at him.

"hehe!"
Sister Feng laughed at herself again.
"We say we're good sisters, but in reality, we're just using each other. Besides, we only meet a handful of times a year. She's after money, and I'm after money too."
"Who is your best sister?"
He asked about his doubts, and Sister Feng took a long breath and shook her head.
"I don't know who she is either. I only know that she has a special relationship with the Empress. She not only has businesses in Yilan County, but also in other places. She even has close ties with the Dongyang Kingdom..."
At this point, she looked at Leng Yu warily.
"Fourth...Fourth Brother, you won't...you won't tell anyone what I said, right?"
