Dressed as a vicious stepmother, farming and raising cubs

Su Liu walked over with Shen Luochen, greeted Boss Jia and others, and asked:
  "I wonder why Boss Jia held a banquet today and specially invited me?"

Unexpectedly, Boss Jia and Du Jiaohong both looked at her with smiles, quite teasing her:
  "Boss Su treats us too much like outsiders! We are not invited to such a big event as getting married!"

Su Liu thought of the wedding a few days ago, and suddenly understood, and explained:
  "Actually, the children made up for the two of us. In fact, we have already gotten married, so we didn't invite everyone."

Boss Jia waved his hand and said seriously:
  "Hey, this is wrong. Since it is a happy event, everyone should celebrate it together. Is that right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the guests around him echoed in unison, and Boss Jia's appeal was evident.

"In this case, I have no choice but to accept Boss Jia's kindness." Su Liu smiled politely, then turned sideways and pointed at the senior and three juniors standing next to him.

"I haven't introduced you yet, but this is my humble husband, whose surname is Shen. These three children are Leyan, Leshui and Qingqing."

Shen Luochen nodded in greeting, and the three dolls also greeted Boss Jia and Du Jiaohong very obediently:
  "Hello, uncle! Hello, aunt!"

Boss Jia seemed to like children quite a lot. He smiled with a smile on his face and nodded repeatedly:

"Okay, okay, what three good kids."

After chatting for a while, Su Liu took Shen Luochen and the children to sit down. This banquet was a separate table. The whole family shared a small table, and the dishes on each table were the same. There are servants nearby to help spread the dishes and pour wine.

It was the first time for several children to eat at Yuelaiju. They were so excited when faced with the exquisite and delicious dishes that they grabbed their chopsticks and ate.

"Is it more delicious than what I made?" Su Liu looked at the eating habits of the children and joked with a smile.

The children all have a strong desire to survive. After hearing this, they quickly shook their heads:
  "No, no, no! Mom makes the best food!"

Su Liu smiled even brighter and picked up vegetables for the children from time to time, but he didn't take a few bites.

Since the protagonists of this banquet were her and Shen Luochen, during the dinner, people came one after another to congratulate them, and toasts were inevitable.

Su Liu basically returned the greetings one by one. Her drinking capacity was average. After a few glasses of white wine, she became dizzy after a while and fell on the table.

"Stop drinking, I'll do it for you." Shen Luochen looked at her worriedly and whispered in her ear.

Su Liu nodded and tried to sit up unsteadily, but suddenly staggered and fell on him.

Her face was bright red and she pressed tightly against his arm.

They were husband and wife, so this behavior was nothing strange to outsiders, but Shen Luochen tensed up nervously and did not dare to move.

When those who came to toast saw this scene, most of them stepped back with interest.

After a while, Su Liu sat up suddenly again, with a strange look on his face. He struggled to stand up again and muttered:

"I-I have to go to the latrine!"

Seeing her looking unsteady, Shen Luochen couldn't help but feel worried and said:

"How about I support you?"

Unexpectedly, Su Liu reacted greatly, his cheeks became even redder, and he said loudly:

"no need!"

Then she stumbled towards the side door and soon disappeared.

Shen Luochen froze on the spot and reacted for a long time before he realized how wrong what he just said was wrong.

After all, no one wants to be helped up to the latrine! Su Liu was quite familiar with the terrain of Yuelaiju. He found the hut by groping and solved the urgent problem.

When she came back, she needed to pass by the yard, and a few rays of cool breeze blew on her face, which made her sober.

The backyard of Yuelaiju is very large, with many rare flowers and plants. A stream winds through the corridor, and there are several rockeries for decoration. The scenery is quite unique.

Su Liu thought that since they were all out, he might as well take a breather outside and wait until the drunkenness had completely dissipated before going back.

So she wandered around the yard, looking around, and finally stopped by a pool to feed the fish.

Yuelaiju is very wealthy, and the koi he raises are almost as big as ordinary carp, and each one is plump. Su Liu found a bag of fish food next to the pool, and threw it into the water. Several fish were vying for it. Floating up to eat.

Su Liu found it very interesting. When he was having a great time feeding the fish, a man's voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Are all the goods ready?"

She looked back curiously, but did not see the owner of the voice. Judging from the direction, he should be behind the rockery behind her.

Then, another man's voice was heard:

"One hundred sharp swords, one hundred spears, two hundred pairs of bows and crossbows, and one hundred kilograms of gunpowder are all ready, just waiting for delivery."

"You did a good job. Go to my master's house tomorrow to collect the money. Remember not to leak any news."

The two deliberately lowered their voices when talking, but because of the close distance, Su Liu could still hear their conversation clearly.

She belatedly realized that she seemed to be observing an underground arms deal.

She had also read in books before that many restaurants in ancient times were not as simple as they appeared on the surface. Behind the scenes, they might be arms dealers, or even control spy networks between several countries.

I just didn't expect that I would meet her today.

After realizing that the other party was smuggled goods, Su Liu held his breath and did not dare to move for fear of being discovered by the other party.

"This war between the two countries on the border is inevitable. Go back and prepare, and you will earn it!" The man at the beginning said again.

"Come on, please take care of our business." The other person's voice was a little excited, and he could tell that he was in a good mood.

The two said a few more words and then left one after another.

It wasn't until there was absolutely no movement at the other end of the rockery that Su Liu breathed a sigh of relief, walked around and glanced at the place where the two had just spoken.

The location is really secluded, surrounded by rockeries, and you won't even notice it if you don't look carefully.

What she heard from the conversation between the two was that two countries were about to go to war, and the arms dealers could make a fortune from it.

It is said that some powerful arms dealers in ancient times would even provoke wars in order to make money. I wonder if today's people have that ability.

Su Liu thought seriously while walking back.

She might be able to borrow this idea. Although she wouldn't resell arms, it would be good to use the restaurant to establish an intelligence network.

I followed Shen Luochen to interrogate the prisoner before, but because the other party bit his tongue and committed suicide, he couldn't find out who was behind the scenes.

If he opened a wine shop like Yuelaiju, he might be able to secretly collect information and help Shen Luochen.
