Chapter 174 Terrible Gu Naizheng
Shen Cangfeng and Wei Changying were both stunned, saying unanimously, “For us?”
Wei Changying’s expression changed and immediately thought of the lotus-picking girls.
However, Gu Naizheng smiled and said nothing, looking unpredictable. His attitude made Wei Changying, who didn't know his temperament, felt so hurried that she almost couldn't help asking him. Fortunately, Huo Zhaoyu was considerate. He smiled gently and explained, “Brother Yaoye and the sister-in-law, Brother Zilie is talking nonsense. In fact, I happened to live by the lake to escape the heat these days. Seeing the tavern of Xie Family catching fish and shrimp by the lake this morning, I thought that the tavern had now changed its rules and opened in summer as well. I came here on purpose because I have admired the excellent cooking skill of Uncle Xie, but I didn’t expect that Uncle Xie had prepared the dishes for you and that he didn't intend to do business today.”

During this period, Uncle Xie specially greeted his guests. When Wei Changying watched this man over sixty years old, she thought that he was not as old as he looked, because his son and daughter-in-law were still rather young. It was likely that the person on the lake worked so hard that he looked older than he actually was. He was a merciful old man with a slight trace of fishy smell,

In the end, Gu Naizheng and his pals' boats couldn't be found, which was natural. In the midsummer of Furong Islet, the lotus flowers and leaves surged to the sky, and the dense reeds could almost seal off the vast Furong Islet.It was easy enough to hide three small boats in a place like this. Unless someone accidentally met them, the boats wouldn't be found out until the dry season between the autumn and winter months. After hearing the news, Brother Xie and his wife, each poling a small boat, looked around for a long time and didn't find any clues.

Because both girls were delicate princesses, the people could only persuade them gently, but dare not stop them.Seeing these girls in colorful dresses, Madam Su frowned and held Wei Changying's hand as she said, "They've seen us.... We'll leave soon after we greeted them. Don't speak!"At the same time, Wei Changying had realized the girl who was being

Su Yuwu’s birthday was the day after Empress Gu was informed of the lotus-picking girls. Madam Su specially came to congratulate Su Yuwu in person, which was just an excuse because Madam Su, as an aunt, didn’t need to specially go back to her family for her niece's eighteenth birthday. The real reason was that the last time Su Pingzhan commanded his descendants to stop struggling with each other, so Madam Su kept this matter in mind after hearing Wei Changying's words. She planned to take advantage of this time to come back and explain to his father in person, lest there would be grudges in two families.If Madam Su went back to her family, her daughters-in-law would accompany her.

If you can't remember them very well, go to the bursary and find them."Three daughters-in-law heard it suddenly and all became surprised because the fourth young master, Shen Canghui, had just married Mrs. Pei, so mentioning the bride price meant that it should be talking about the fifth young master, Shen Cangji, who was Madam Su's favorite son.But they had never heard anything about Shen Cangji looking for a wife.There was one meeting last year.
