Chapter 11168: Chapter 11167: The Battle of the Three Kingdoms!
“Hehe, it seems like he wants to give a favor and make willingly give him 20 points of luck.”
Zhangsun Sheng revealed a look of disdain.” He thinks he’s smart. Does he really think I’m a fool? He can fool however he wants?”
If not for Lord Chu backing him up, he might have had no choice but to swallow this loss.
But now, everything Lin Yi did was nothing but a clown in his eyes.
Ning Yuqi hesitated.
The most important reason she ca back to the House was to be Lin Yi’s spy, to monitor the House’s movents, and to talk to Lin Yi and Zhangsun Sheng so that they could work together more smoothly.
But he didn’t expect Zhangsun Sheng to be so hostile towards Lin Yi!
If she tried to smooth things over for Lin Yi now, it would only backfire.
“Yu Qi, you’ve t Lin Yi before, right?” Zhangsun Sheng glanced at her and changed the topic.
Ning Yuqi quickly explained.” We t a few tis in the Divine Kingdom on land. But please rest assured, Duke. I have always kept myself clean. I have never spoken to any other man, nor have I had any entanglents.”
“There’s no need to be so nervous.”
Zhangsun Sheng smiled and patted her hand.” I’m not suspecting that you have anything to do with him. It’s just that I’m going to treat him to a drink. I hope you can be there to accompany .”
Ning Yuqi heaved a sigh of relief.” Understood. I will personally arrange the banquet. I will definitely satisfy the Duke.”
“You still don’t understand what I an.” Zhangsun Sheng shook his head.
“What do you an?” Ning Yuqi was confused.
A jug of wine suddenly appeared in Zhangsun Sheng’s hand. He said firmly,” What I an is that you will accompany him to drink in my place. You must make him drink this jug of wine. If necessary, it’s fine to sacrifice so of your looks.”
“This…”
Ning Yuqi’s face instantly turned pale.
She was the wife of the Duke who had been officially married to the Duke Protector’s Estate. This was also the identity she valued the most.
Although she and Zhangsun Sheng did not have a deep relationship, at least before this, Zhangsun Sheng still liked her and gave her the corresponding respect.
Today, he actually personally asked her to accompany a man outside. Was this still the little duke she admired?
Zhangsun Sheng gently advised,” This is for the future of the entire House. Don’t feel burdened. As long as you can make Lin Yi drink this wine, it’ll be a great contribution. I won’t despise you after this, and I won’t let anyone say that you’re not a woman.”
“But…” Ning Yuqi was in a dilemma.
If it was before this, she might have believed his words, but after experiencing the exile incident, no matter how naive she was, she had more or less seen through his character.
If she agreed this ti, there might not be anything in the short term, but as ti went on, it would definitely beco a stain on her body.
In fact, one day in the future, the other party might use this reason to kick her out of the house.
Zhangsun Sheng hurriedly coaxed and pestered her again.
Not only was this the ultimate trump card for him to get back the twenty percent of luck from Lin Yi, but it also involved Chu Wang.
If he couldn’t even handle this matter properly, he would have offended King Chu as well.
He could not bear the consequences.
As for Ning Yuqi, he didn’t want to let Lin Yi take advantage of her beauty.
However, he could not bear to part with the child, so he could only sacrifice himself a little.
Moreover, as long as he could keep the 20% of the luck dividends, he could have as many won as he wanted in the future. Ning Yuqi was not a problem at all.
In the end, Ning Yuqi really couldn’t refuse and could only agree with a troubled expression.
“Duke, what is so special about this jug of wine that I have to show my face in public and personally persuade him to drink it?”
Ning Yuqi carefully probed.
Zhangsun Sheng smiled smugly.” This wine has a big background. As for what it’s used for, I’ll keep you in suspense. You just need to know that it was personally given to by King Chu.”
“King Chu gave it to personally?” Ning Yuqi could not help but be shocked.
“You don’t believe ?” Zhangsun Sheng glanced at her.
Ning Yuqi said weakly,” It’s not that I don’t believe it, but everyone knows King Chu’s character. Even the previous Duke was not treated politely by him. Why does he treat you differently?”
Zhangsun Sheng said proudly,” I can’t go into details, but there is one thing. This is my chance. Whether or not I can catch the King of Chu’s eye and make use of the power of the Chu royal residence to make the Duke Protector’s Residence prosper will all depend on this.”
After a pause, Zhangsun Sheng added,” Of course, the key to success lies with you. This concerns the future of the entire Duke Protector’s Residence. Yu Qi, you can’t disappoint .”
Ning Yuqi looked at him deeply and finally smiled.” I am one with you, Duke. Since it is sothing you have decided on, I will not hesitate.”
“That’s good. As expected of my good wife!”
Zhangsun Sheng nodded repeatedly.
The next day, Lin Yi received an invitation to the banquet.
The Duke Protector’s Residence was an important target that he had carefully selected. He was also prepared to work together for a long ti in the future. If he could build a good relationship with Zhangsun Sheng, it would be a good thing.
Zhangsun Sheng had changed from the cold attitude he had when the court session ended yesterday. He ordered the Public House to open the middle door and personally brought Ning Yuqi to welco them at the door.
Apart from that, all the core mbers of the Duke Protector’s Residence were present, including the second and third branches who had already separated.
In terms of the scale of the scene, it was almost full, and there was no room for nitpicking.
Normally, even if the seven kings ca personally, it would probably be nothing more than this.
Everyone in the Duke Protector’s estate was looking forward to it, whispering to each other in private, guessing who they were waiting for to make Zhangsun Sheng make such a big fuss.
But when they saw Lin Yi’s face, they couldn’t help but feel disappointed.
It was simply too ordinary.
Zhangsun Sheng didn’t care about their reactions. Lin Yi arrived and imdiately welcod him with Ning Yuqi.
Lin Yi was surprised.
This new protector of the country changed his character quite quickly?
Yesterday, he felt as if his parents had died and his crotch had been cut off. It had only been one night, and his brain had already turned around?
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Zhangsun Sheng welcod Lin Yi into the Public House.
“Mister Lin’s first visit has brought light to our humble residence. The banquet has been prepared, we must have a good drink today.”
Zhangsun Sheng gave Ning Yuqi a look.
Ning Yuqi understood and walked to the other side of Lin Yi, holding back his embarrassnt.
As for the rest of the people from the Duke Protector’s Residence, after they were done with their roles, they left and didn’t follow along.
