The clingy concubine ran away, and the sickly prince lost control.

"It's much better than a military camp."

Luo Qingyan choked, realizing it was indeed better than the military camp.

"Liar, there's no white fungus and lotus seed soup to be delivered."

Suddenly, a shout of cursing came from outside.

"fraud"

"Pah! They tricked us into coming here, then didn't even deliver anything, and the vegetable prices have gone up."

The Deyue Restaurant is in an uproar.

"There's more excitement to watch, isn't that great?" Pei Shiyuan raised an eyebrow and gave Luo Qingyan a cold glance.

She was really clever; without telling him, she secretly moved to Kangning Pavilion to enjoy a life of luxury, with freedom of movement and a lively atmosphere, free from many rules and restrictions.

"Qian Fanghai wanted to harm Kangning Pavilion, and he has only himself to blame."

Kangning Pavilion was closed today, so a group of people were upstairs watching the noisy Deyue Restaurant across the street.

Luo Qingyan pushed Pei Shiyuan toward the window.

"Your Highness."

"Your Highness."

Everyone bowed and greeted Pei Shiyuan, making way for him.

downstairs.

"Don't go, the bill hasn't been settled yet."

Qian Fanghai stopped several old ladies.

Upstairs, Granny Liu smiled, those were her old friends.

"What are you arguing about? You're not even giving away the white fungus and lotus seed soup, and you've doubled the price of vegetables. Are you trying to take advantage of this old woman?"

"No, there was a sudden problem with the white fungus, it's not that I didn't want to deliver it."

Qian Fanghai scratched his head. He had clearly given the bad white fungus to Kangning Pavilion and kept the good one for himself, but when he woke up, the kitchen told him that there was only bad white fungus.

Could it be that a ghost appeared in the middle of the night?

No, it's Luo Haitang. She and Luo Qingyan are sisters after all, so it must have been her who leaked the information to Luo Qingyan.

Luo Qingyan came in the middle of the night and replaced the white fungus.

"And what about the price of vegetables?" The old lady's spittle was already flying onto Qian Fanghai's face.

"What are you yelling for? Don't think that just because you're old I won't dare to hit you." Qian Fanghai raised his folding fan.

"Come on! Shoot this way!" Several old ladies rushed forward together.

They used to be rough-working maids, but they were quite strong, and today they even brought rolling pins with them.

"Boss, boss, calm down." Xiao Liuzi pulled Qian Fanghai back: "Didn't my sister say that harmony is the most important thing?"

The "sister" that Xiao Liuzi mentioned is Qian Mingyi, the second wife of the Duke's family.

Qian Fanghai lowered his fist, panting heavily. If his older sister hadn't repeatedly told him not to cause trouble, he would have definitely ordered someone to beat up these unruly customers.

They were making a fuss while eating at his restaurant.

So what if prices go up? He spent the money, but the white fungus is gone. Who's going to compensate him? He has to raise prices to make up for it.

Seeing that Qian Fanghai's momentum had weakened, the other customers vented their dissatisfaction.

"Is the white fungus and lotus seed soup still offered as a complimentary gift?"

"If you're not going to give us a free gift, shouldn't you offer us a discount?"

"Yes, discount, discount."

"I don't think the boss wants to offer a discount."

"If there's no discount, we're leaving."

"If the vegetable prices are suddenly raised today, then we shouldn't pay."

Yes, yes.

"Let's go, let's go."

Many people put down their chopsticks and rushed towards the door.

Who is this person, offering different prices yesterday and today? Are they treating people like monkeys?

"What do you think you're doing? Eating without paying? Be careful, I'll report you to the authorities!" Qian Fanghai shouted, but was pushed aside by the crowd. His face turned red with anger. He shouldn't have listened to his older sister. He should have called a dozen guards to keep order and see if these people dared to leave. He would have beaten them to death.

Now look what's happened, we've lost so much money.

With Kangning Pavilion closed today, Deyue Restaurant is busier than yesterday due to a large number of diners, and the chaos makes it even harder to calm the situation.

The crowd wasn't afraid at all. With so many people, he probably wouldn't even be able to tell who was who, let alone want to sue the authorities.

He tricked them into coming to eat, then suddenly raised the price; when they brought it up to the authorities, he ignored them.

No one was afraid of Qian Fanghai's threatening words, and they all left.

The lobby was left in a mess.

"What's wrong with Boss Qian?" Luo Haitang specially put aside her business at Jubaozhai to come over. Calculating the time, the diners at Kangning Pavilion should have eaten the poisonous white fungus, taken the poison, and started making a fuss. But from afar, she saw Deyue Restaurant making a constant commotion, as if something had happened.

Upon seeing Luo Haitang, Qian Fanghai could no longer contain his anger. He raised his chin and looked down at Luo Haitang, saying, "You dare come here? Did you tell Luo Qingyan?"

Hearing the whispers of the diners passing by, Luo Haitang roughly understood what was going on. She quickly said, "Boss Qian, this has nothing to do with me. I just came to watch the commotion across the street, who would have thought you would..."

Qian Fanghai flicked his sleeve, "Don't try to fool me: 'Without your tip-off, why is Kangning Pavilion closed today?'"

"Boss Qian, you've really wronged me." Luo Haitang's voice was so soft and sweet it could melt your heart.

"Heh." Qian Fanghai curled his lips into a lewd smile, pinched Luo Haitang's chin, and said, "Then prove it to me."

Luo Haitang immediately gave her a seductive look: "Okay."

Her voice was soft and gentle, making one's bones feel weak. "Please, Mr. Qian."

Qian Fanghai's kung fu is better than Ye Hui's.

She often reminisces about their last meeting.

"Please." Qian Fanghai gestured for them to proceed.

Luo Haitang smiled and nodded, walking ahead.

Anyone who didn't know better would think they were going to discuss some kind of business.

"Call Xiao Liu back." Pei Shiyuan reminded Luo Qingyan again from upstairs, turned his wheelchair around, and left.

Luo Qingyan gave Liu Mama a wink.

Upon receiving the order, Granny Liu left immediately.

Luo Qingyan followed Pei Shiyuan; she needed to persuade Pei Shiyuan to return to the Duke's mansion.

She came to stay at Kangning Pavilion, and Pei Shiyuan followed, which made things even worse if people found out.

"Young Master, you should go back to the Duke's residence! Otherwise, the old lady will worry."

The old lady must be angry right now, thinking that she has somehow bewitched Pei Shiyuan.

"I suddenly realize that living here is quite nice. You're so smart." Pei Shiyuan let out a breath, feeling much more relaxed. "If you want to go back, you go back. I'm not going back."

Seeing that his health had improved, his mother busied herself arranging his marriage. Besides Cui Hui, she was also looking for a concubine. Perhaps it would be better to stay in Kangning Pavilion to hide away.

Moreover, Luo Qingyan moved to Kangning Pavilion because she felt she couldn't have children, which is why she wanted to stay away from him, making him seem like an ungrateful wretch.

He lived in Corning Pavilion.

Luo Qingyan rolled her eyes and whispered, "Your Highness, it's not safe for you to stay in Kangning Pavilion."

Pei Shiyuan must have many enemies. Normally, the Duke's mansion is heavily guarded, like an impregnable fortress. In comparison, Kangning Pavilion is not safe at all.

"I was just worried about not having any enemies to come knocking on my door, this is the perfect opportunity to give them one."

Pei Shiyuan spoke calmly, having been unable to find out who had targeted him. If he could get the other party to make a move, he could also find a weakness in their defenses.

Luo Qingyan lowered her eyes and sighed in disappointment; Pei Shiyuan was determined to stay.

"Is Aunt Luo here?"

Then came the sound of a sword clattering on the table.

Cui Hui?

Luo Qingyan's head buzzed. What if she found out that Pei Shiyuan was staying at Kangning Pavilion?

From then on, you must not regard her as a thorn in your side or a nuisance.

My impression of her improved after dining at Kangning Pavilion last time, but now I'm doomed.

Luo Qingyan's thoughts shifted, and she thought that Cui Hui kept going to Kangning Pavilion. She said she didn't like Pei Shiyuan, but was she actually angry at her existence and deliberately keeping an eye on her? In that case, it would be better to let Pei Shiyuan receive her.
