The prince and Sheng Jingxuan looked a little embarrassed when they saw Sheng Shiyou.

After all, although Sheng Shiyou had always performed well, he had never coveted the throne. Even if the two of them were angry, they could not take it out on him.

After all, the prince is the boss, so he always has to maintain the hypocrisy on the surface.

"What a coincidence today. This place is so far away from the capital. How come the seventh and ninth brothers are both free to come here?"

Sheng Shiyou's appearance at this time relieved the prince from the siege and prevented Sheng Jingxuan from speaking too harshly.

"It just so happens that I am an old friend of Shopkeeper Qi. I have long heard that he has the idea of ​​Mengdie Villa. I also heard that his business has been doing well recently, so I stopped by to take a look."

Lu Zhiyan obviously didn't understand why Shengshi Youdou appeared at this time, but the deadlock downstairs was finally resolved. If the two of them continued to quarrel like this, there would be no results. On the contrary, they would not be able to do business.

"I remember that the Ninth Prince was sent by the Emperor to inspect officials in several nearby states and counties a few days ago. How did he appear here by such a coincidence?"

After all, Lu Wushuang was an errand in the palace and had better information. He clearly remembered that Sheng Shiyou had just left a few days ago.

The words sounded so true that Lu Youyou felt a little uneasy. She always felt that something big was going to happen if the Ninth Prince showed up at this time.

"You are indeed well-informed. Ninth Brother's eyesight is always so good. Even Shopkeeper Qi is your friend."

Although Sheng Jingxuan's words were not pleasant to listen to, sometimes he did admire his ninth brother.

He has always been so outstanding, and his father also praised him highly, but he never seemed to have any ambition. Although his background was not as good as the two of them, he has always been praised by everyone.

Originally, Sheng Jingxuan regarded him as his biggest enemy, but Sheng Shiyou didn't even have an official who supported him, which made him gradually relax his vigilance towards his ninth brother.

"It's just a coincidence. Shopkeeper Qi originally wanted to open a shop in the capital, but the stores in the capital were too expensive and not suitable for his idea. I happened to have a piece of land that my father gave me before, so I thought it would be Let’s invest in it.”

As soon as these words came out, the prince and Sheng Jingxuan knew that they should stop no matter how much they wanted to win over Qi Sili.

Sheng Shiyou was not willing to compete with them, so it was indeed inappropriate to snatch things over his head.

"It turns out that's the case. No wonder the location of Mengdie Villa is so good. It turns out it's all the credit of the ninth brother."

Before Mengdie Villa was opened, neither the prince nor Sheng Jingxuan felt how valuable this land was.

She even felt that Sheng Shiyou, who took over this land, was simply too unwilling to fight for it.

After wiping out bandits hundreds of miles outside the city, he only received such a small reward. He even thanked his father for the reward with a smile. From that time on, Sheng Jingxuan no longer regarded this man as his opponent.

While Sheng Shiyou rescued Qi Sili, he also gave up the idea of ​​the prince and Sheng Jingxuan.

It was not easy for the two of them to bully Sheng Shiyou, so they naturally stopped fighting the idea of ​​Mengdie Villa.

Seeing that what they wanted to do was not settled, the prince and Sheng Jingxuan did not plan to stay here longer, so they went back separately.

After confirming that the two people and their entourage had left, Lu Zhiyan and Lu Wushuang went downstairs.

"Why did the Ninth Prince suddenly appear here?" Lu Zhiyan breathed a sigh of relief after saving Mengdie Villa, but how could Sheng Shiyou, who should have been elsewhere, suddenly appear here by such a coincidence?

Not only him, everyone felt that this should not be a coincidence.

"I just happened to pass by after finishing my work and wanted to see how the business was going. Unexpectedly, I bumped into my eldest brother and my seventh brother."

Sheng Shiyou smiled calmly, and Lu Zhiyan did not have too much suspicion. However, Lu Youyou witnessed the whole process and naturally knew that his appearance here today was not a coincidence.

As the main villain in the original book, Sheng Shiyou's ability and knowledge far exceed those of these two idiots.

He had never cared much about the affairs of the court, and was unwilling to win over officials to bolster his reputation. The emperor had always regarded him as a tool, pushing him out when he needed to do things, and giving him symbolic rewards when he came back. He also accepted all the orders and never complained.

But since he is a capable villain, how could he be so naive?

From the fact that he was able to arrive in time today, Lu Youyou could tell that there were probably people arranged by him in the capital, or around the prince and Sheng Jingxuan.

He is so thoughtful that he may not even notice that you are as vicious as Sheng Jingxuan.

The prince and Sheng Jingxuan have always been at odds with each other, but for Sheng Shiyou, no matter how dissatisfied Sheng Jingxuan was, he would not attack him openly.

This may be the game he has been playing all along.

Lu Youyou didn't dare to tell her second brother and third brother anything, but with their brains, they should be able to see that there was something wrong here.

It was just that Sheng Shiyou had just helped them save Mengdie Villa, so even if they had any questions, they couldn't ask them.

Sheng Shiyou had indeed not returned to the capital for a long time. He happened to see Lu Youyou in Lu Wushuang's arms, and the joy on his face could not be concealed at all.

"Long time no see, sister Yoyo."

Sheng Shiyou still greeted her enthusiastically as usual, but Lu Youyou was thinking about very complicated things now, and she had no interest in facing him at all.

Although he knew that Sheng Shiyou was far superior to those two people in terms of talent and scheming, but what if he also wanted to use the General's Mansion as a stepping stone for himself?

Lu Youyou thought to herself, and turned her head to avoid Sheng Shiyou's hand. Looking at his hand that was still in the air, Lu Zhiyan also felt a little embarrassed.

"I carried her out early this morning. She is already here. She must be sleepy."

Lu Zhiyan smiled and explained to the person opposite him. Fortunately, Sheng Shiyou didn't think much about it.

"That's right. After all, you are still young. Don't always carry her out and walk so far. Go back and rest early."

Seeing that his hands were empty, Sheng Shiyou still felt a little disappointed, but looking at Lu Youyou's a little bored look, he also thought that he might just be sleepy.

After Sheng Shiyou said goodbye, he returned to the palace to resume his duties. Lu Zhiyan also took his younger brothers and sisters back home with him.

After what happened today, no one will come to rob Mengdie Villa in the future, and Qi Sili can do business safely.
