After collecting the red envelopes, everyone had come out, but out of the one thousand dollars, eight hundred had gone to waste.
Empress Mother: Sending a group red envelope, six in total, one for each person!
As soon as Yun Wan'er sent the message, Shi Tian opened the group members and saw that Li Ziyu had been added by Yun Wan'er.
Seeing Li Ziyu send a smiley face emoji, Shi Tian thought to himself that he was about to lose more money.
The group nickname changed again, and another red envelope appeared, offering one thousand two hundred dollars. The group instantly burst into joy.
Crown Prince: I heard a heavy snow is approaching Shandong. Empress Mother, will you be going to the Southern Kingdom to avoid the harsh winter?
Empress Mother: The Southern Kingdom is too exhausting. It would be more leisurely to enjoy the snow and plum blossoms in the Northern Country. We can go there when the year-end comes!
Upon seeing this message, Yun Wan'er decided she no longer wanted to go to Sanya.
Crown Prince: Recently, while touring Nanzhao, I came across some delicious snacks. I will send them to Shandong tomorrow for Empress Mother to taste.
Since she wasn’t going to Sanya anymore, she decided to send the specialties to Shandong instead!
As soon as the message was sent, Yun Wan'er immediately called.
You went to Yunnan? Who did you go with?
Why call when we can chat in the group?
Come over here; Lu Ge and Jun Ge are also here. Yun Jie, I managed to sneak Lu Ying Er's ID card from Old Lu. I planned to bring it to Xishuangbanna for her, but they won’t arrive for another two weeks.
Shi Tian was about to take credit when Yun Wan'er interrupted him: Aren't you supposed to send me something? Also send a copy to Ling Er; put her ID card in the package. Once it's sent, let Ye Ge know so he can keep an eye on it.
And remember not to forget Xiao Yu's package!
The ID card situation is a bit sensitive for Lu Ying Er; it wouldn’t be good to give it directly. Sending it along with the specialties will make it seem like nothing happened, and no one will mention it again. This way, Lu Ying Er can save face.
I just told Ying Er Jie that I would send her some specialties. Don’t worry; I didn’t mention the ID card! Xiao Yu's package will definitely be included; I can handle this.
Upon hearing this from Shi Tian, Yun Wan'er immediately hung up. Returning to the group chat, she noticed Shi Chui was chatting casually with Shi Ye, and no one seemed to notice that she and Shi Tian hadn’t spoken for over half a minute.
Empress Mother: Qintianjian reports that heavy snow is expected in two days; winter is approaching. Empress Mother has discussed with you all that we should head to the Southern Kingdom tomorrow!
Crown Prince: In that case, I will send Qian Tong and Xiao Yu’s packages together via express delivery to the Southern Kingdom tomorrow. I hope the Princess Consort and Xiao Yu will pay attention and receive them.
Seeing these two acting like teenagers in the group, Lu Ying Er was eager to join in as well. She quickly changed her nickname to Princess Consort and ordered Shi Ye to change his nickname to Prince.
Princess Consort: Thank you, Crown Prince! There are no delicacies in the capital; only roast duck is worth mentioning. Tomorrow, I will personally choose a few for everyone to taste!
After a few exchanges, the group chat had almost turned into a scene from "Zhen Huan Zhuan." Yun Wan'er and Lu Ying Er were chatting in a palace intrigue style, leaving Shi Tian somewhat dumbfounded.
He exited the group chat and made a video call to Li Ziyu to discuss how her fish-stealing plan was going.
"Crown Princess, how many fish did you steal today?"
In private conversations with Li Ziyu, he didn’t need to be overly cautious with her title. However, getting her to change her group nickname would take some time; respect was essential.
"Hmph! You're taking advantage of me again! I held back a few old men for half an hour, and they only caught eight Xiao Yu in total!"
Li Ziyu seemed dissatisfied with the outcome of their little battle.
"That's not too bad. The fewer you catch, the more active the fish are. In a few days, when we take Wo Liao out to catch some, I guarantee we'll come back with a full load!" After comforting Li Ziyu, Shi Tian began sharing photos he took at night.
To entice Li Ziyu to Xishuangbanna, he first needed to gauge her interest in the place. If she was interested, it would be easy; they could devise a plan and provide her with a reasonable excuse to come. If not, it would be best not to bring it up at all.
The old men were discussing Shi Ban's feed, which Shi Tian had anticipated. If they wanted the feed, they needed to show some sincerity.
In fact, the old men were quite sincere; they helped Li Ziyu set up audio-visual equipment and recording studio gear, along with some preliminary renovations—this was no small project.
"Xiao Yu, we can provide the feed, but don’t make it too easy for them; otherwise, it won’t be worth anything."
"Tomorrow, take half of the feed from the third floor and give it to Old Kong. Just tell him it's for them to use for now; if he asks for more later, then we can distribute it."
"If that doesn’t work, just call me in front of them and falsely claim that you accidentally fed Shi Ban's feed to the koi in the Artificial Lake so that I have to prepare more feed for you."
If he wanted to outsmart the old men, he needed Li Ziyu to infiltrate their ranks. Even if she couldn’t overhear their tricks, gaining some benefits would still be worthwhile!
