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

Let them resolve their own issues.

Moreover, the old lady's original intention was to bring them together.

Then she should create more opportunities for them to interact.

"Young Master, Miss Cui is here, she must be looking for you. I'll go to the kitchen to get busy." Luo Qingyan turned around and hurried away.

"Boom." The door in front of them slammed shut.

Luo Qingyan slowly turned her eyes to look at Pei Shiyuan. Had Pei Shiyuan gone mad? She used her inner strength to close the door.

"Cui Hui is looking for you, didn't you hear her?"

"Your Highness, you are the most senior person here. Even if she needs to talk to me, she still has to go through you. Why not just tell you directly?" Luo Qingyan said with a smile.

"Don't tell anyone I'm here," Pei Shiyuan warned.

"Oh." Luo Qingyan gently opened the door and went out, then closed it behind her.

Pei Shiyuan doesn't want to see Cui Hui, so what about Cui Hui?

Luo Qingyan felt her heart tighten and loosen; Pei Shiyuan's words that he wouldn't see Cui Hui hadn't put her mind at ease for a moment.

The thought of Cui Hui made her heart race, and it even skipped a beat.

Could it be that she has feelings for Pei Shiyuan?

No, no, she had to stay clear-headed. She had to think about her future and not let a little bit of infatuation cloud her judgment. She stopped, frowned, and lowered her eyes to think it over. She had been clinging to and chasing after Pei Shiyuan for so long, it was normal to have some feelings of dependence and possessiveness. She would calm down after a while.

Luo Qingyan coughed lightly and walked seriously toward the main hall: "Miss Cui."

"Is Kangning Pavilion closed today?" Cui Hui asked, puzzled. Today was a day off for officials and students, and normal shops would not choose to close today. She had come to have a bowl of silver soup, and it was strange to find that it was closed, so she came up to ask.

"Yes." Luo Qingyan smiled.

When Cui Hui arrived, she saw the chaotic Deyue Restaurant across the street and had a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on. The business world is like a battlefield, and it seemed that Kangning Pavilion had won.

Luo Qingyan is really quite capable.

She really underestimated that thin, small body.

"Then I'll come again tomorrow."

Cui Hui turned to leave.

"Miss Cui, what would you like to eat? I'll make it for you fresh. You've got nothing to do today, so try my cooking."

Luo Qingyan extended a warm invitation.

"No, thank you." She wasn't very good at interacting with people. Having spent many years wielding weapons and being used to being alone, she felt a little uncomfortable with too much enthusiasm.

Cui Hui has a cold aura.

Luo Qingyan's mouth opened slightly, but she couldn't persuade her to stay any longer.

"Aunt Luo, what happened?"

"Thump, thump, thump."

Shen Nanxun ran up, lifting the hem of his clothes. The Deyue Restaurant looked like it had been vandalized. Kangning Pavilion was closed during the ten-day holiday. Surely nothing bad had happened.

Cui Hui saw a man in white rush past her and immediately frowned. What was he doing in such a hurry? He almost bumped into her.

"Brother Shen, nothing's wrong, I just want to rest for a day," Luo Qingyan said, pursing her lips.

Pei Shiyuan once said that when she saw Shen Nanxun, she smiled like a fool.

Then she should tone it down a bit, although she didn't think she was laughing too exaggeratedly.

If you don't want to laugh, then don't laugh, so as to avoid Shen Nanxun misunderstanding.

Luo Qingyan thought Shen Nanxun was about to say a lot of caring things, but unexpectedly, he said, "Your Highness, are you there? I have something urgent to ask you."

Urgent?

Is it here? Or not?

Luo Qingyan's mind raced, and she immediately made a decision: "The young master is resting, I'll go and call him right away."

When it comes to important matters, what do petty romances matter?

Luo Qingyan knocked on Pei Shiyuan's door, and Shen Nanxun followed her in.

After closing the door and returning, Luo Qingyan turned her head and saw that Cui Hui's expression was not good. She mistakenly thought that Cui Hui was angry because she hadn't mentioned that Pei Shiyuan was there, and didn't realize that Cui Hui was dissatisfied with the flustered Shen Nanxun.

"Miss Cui, the young master is up. Please wait a moment and greet him. You can also try my cooking. It will be ready soon."

Luo Qingyan smiled, lowered her posture, and regarded them as her masters.

"No, was that the third-place finisher this year?" Cui Hui asked in a rough voice.

"Yes," Luo Qingyan replied with a forced smile.

"What kind of behavior is this, all this panic?" Cui Hui frowned.

Luo Qingyan's smile immediately vanished, replaced by a serious expression. It turned out that Cui Hui was dissatisfied with Shen Nanxun: "I'll have him apologize to you later."

Cui Hui: "No need."

"I'm so sorry, Miss Cui, I almost bumped into you. I apologize for that." Shen Nanxun quickly stepped forward and bowed deeply.

Cui Hui glanced at it and said, "Let's go."

"Miss Cui, I'll give you a ride on my way." Shen Nanxun hurried after her.

Luo Qingyan breathed a sigh of relief; Cui Hui seemed to care about Pei Shiyuan at all.

However, she still had to be careful, as Cui Hui was very likely Pei Shiyuan's legal wife, and she couldn't afford to have any grudges against her.

"Miss, Xiao Liu is here." Granny Liu led Xiao Liu in.

Xiao Liu bowed and clasped his hands in a salute.

"Little Liu, from now on when you come to work at Kangning Pavilion, don't go near Qian Fanghai. If he finds out you're one of ours, he won't let you off the hook," Luo Qingyan said seriously.

Xiao Liu thought for a moment and said:

"But Aunt Luo, even if I go to Kangning Pavilion, Qian Fanghai will still find out, and he will be more vigilant. Why don't I go find work at other shops after I leave Deyue Restaurant? There are so many shops on Fanlou Street, I'm sure I can find work."

"That's true. If Qian Fanghai knew you were with me, he would definitely try to make trouble for you. I know some people, so I might as well introduce you to a job. Acquaintances will also look out for you."

Xiao Liuzi has been a great help, so we can't treat him unfairly: "Here are five hundred taels to thank you for your help during this time."

"Aunt Luo, even if I leave Deyue Restaurant, Qian Fanghai will still try to deal with Kangning Pavilion. What should I do?"

"There are other ways, but we can't let you take the risk right now," Luo Qingyan advised.

"Alright!" Xiao Liuzi took the silver and left.

"Granny, Xiao Liu will make something of himself in the future," Luo Qingyan said. Five hundred taels would be enough for him to get started.

Later that evening, a waiter from an inn suddenly arrived at Kangning Pavilion.

"Our esteemed guest has specifically requested your dishes."

The person handed over a note, which Luo Qingyan opened and saw was from Cui Hui.

We invited her to stay for a meal earlier, but she refused. Now she's having someone order takeout. It's really strange.

"We'll make it in a bit and then deliver it."

The visitor nodded and left, and Luo Qingyan prepared to see him off personally.

An hour later, at the inn.

"Miss Cui, here's your order." Luo Qingyan handed over the food box and opened it.

"Aunt Luo, why did you come in person? You could have just sent a waiter." Cui Hui picked up her chopsticks and started eating. "I must say, the food here is both nutritious and delicious."

"If Miss Cui likes it, I'll send it to you every day," Luo Qingyan said with a smile. "But, I invited you to stay for dinner at Kangning Pavilion today, why are you leaving?"

Cui Hui rolled her eyes and slammed her chopsticks down: "What else could it be?"

Luo Qingyan's heart tightened at the shock. Was Cui Hui about to lose her temper? What if Cui Rou was going to make fun of her for taking Pei Shiyuan?

Given Cui Hui's strong-willed nature, she would probably directly tell Pei Shiyuan that he shouldn't have stayed in Kangning Pavilion, and that she should have advised him to prioritize official business.
