With a barely perceptible smile on his face, Wen Meijiu ignored Prince Wang and turned to look at Zhi Zheng who was standing next to Prince Wang and asked:

"Brother Zhizheng, after I left yesterday, did Manager Tong give you any trouble?"

Zhi Zheng didn't know why Wen Meijiu suddenly asked him this. After thinking about it, he felt that Wen Meijiu might be worried that she would run away suddenly and the county magistrate would make things difficult for them. She mistakenly said the county magistrate was Manager Tong.

He clenched his fist and put it to his mouth. Zhi Zheng coughed lightly, but his eyes looked at Master Wang who was sitting next to him.

Wen Meijiu ran out effortlessly, but Master Wang and his luck were not so good, especially Master Wang, who was seen by the county magistrate and was very embarrassed.

Fortunately, Young Master Wang was smart and took over the role immediately.

It was said that Wen Meijiu was always jealous and making unfounded accusations because he had endless quarrels with an unknown little maid, and he would run away in anger every time there was a quarrel.

The county magistrate loved to watch the fun, and when he heard that Young Master Wang had the same trouble, he was so excited that he immediately wanted to help Young Master Wang solve his problem.

Prince Wang was not good at making up stories, and he had no talent for storytelling, so he said immediately:

"She's too impulsive. I wonder if she's going to settle the score with someone else. I have to chase her quickly."

Before he finished speaking, Prince Wang imitated Wen Meijiu's routine and ran out like a madman.

Two of the three people ran away, and finally only Zhi Zheng was left. They came to decide on the Suo Xun, but no one was there before the Suo Xun was done. This was really unacceptable.

Being pushed to this point, Zhi Zheng could only clasp his fists towards the county magistrate and say:

"Don't worry, County Magistrate. It's normal for young couples to quarrel. It will be fine after a while."

After pacifying the county magistrate, he turned around and went back upstairs obediently. The county magistrate didn't know what to say, but just asked someone to keep an eye on Zhizheng.

Not long after Master Wang went out, he came back soon. This reassured the county magistrate and he no longer had any suspicions. He had Suo Huan and Master Wang, who were already seated, carried to the Wen family.

Zhi Zheng wanted to laugh when he thought of his young master imitating the way Wen Meijiu ran out. He was not sure whether his young master cared about this matter, so he looked at his young master's face.

"Don't look at me, I'm asking you."

Young Master Wang looked as if it had nothing to do with him and leaned slightly to the side.

Since the young master didn't say anything, Zhi Zheng told Wen Meijiu the whole story, and finally said with emotion:

"Now that you've all left, I'm really afraid he'll embarrass me.

Fortunately, he did nothing.”

Zhi Zheng did not correct the mistake in Wen Meijiu's words, but simply changed the shopkeeper Tong in Wen Meijiu's words to the county magistrate. After all, with the county magistrate present, shopkeeper Tong was nothing.

"Oh, so the county magistrate didn't make things difficult for you, and neither did Shopkeeper Tong, right?"

Zhi Zheng nodded. After Wen Meijiu left, the young master came back soon after. How could Shopkeeper Tong dare to play any tricks under the nose of the county magistrate? He respectfully arranged for people to send a request to the Wen family, and also thoughtfully prepared a sedan chair for Young Master Wang.

"No, everything is arranged properly..."

While telling the truth to Zhizhao, he also praised Manager Tong, thinking that he lived up to his reputation as the manager of Qingfeng Tower and deserved the title.

"Oh, that's strange. The county magistrate doesn't want any money, and Manager Tong doesn't want any money either. Who do you think we should give the money to?"

Wen Meijiu asked Zhi Zheng with a smile on her face, and she didn't mean to be angry. Zhi Zheng was also stunned when he heard it.

When he came to his senses, he realized that he had fallen into Wen Meijiu's trap.

In front of Wen Meijiu, the county magistrate said that he would pay for the call, so there was no charge for the call.

After she left, the county magistrate did not change his mind, and Shopkeeper Tong did not ask for it back secretly. Young Master Wang accepted five taels of silver and a receipt from her family. How should this account be settled?

Zhi Zheng didn't know what Prince Wang was thinking about this matter, and he couldn't make the decision for Prince Wang. Wen Meijiu asked him, wasn't this making things difficult for him?

He shut up almost instantly, and Zhi Zheng turned his eyes slightly to the left, then slightly raised them to look at the roof, and then turned them to the right. Anyway, he didn't look directly at Wen Meijiu's words, pretending not to hear them, and said something else:

"This roof is good. It doesn't leak."

Yes, the house of Wenmei Restaurant is too dilapidated. One of the rooms is leaking. It’s really good that it’s not completely leaking.

But in this severe drought, even if the house was leaking, no one would be able to see it.

Of course, Wen Meijiu's words were not meant for Zhi Zheng to hear, but for Prince Wang who was sitting next to him.

She did it on purpose, just to see how long Prince Wang could last.

Prince Wang also understood that Wen Meijiu's roundabout way of asking about stopping the dispute was nothing more than an attempt to "point fingers at someone else".

He snorted lightly. Zhizheng was his man, so could he help her warm the wine?

"Yes, the roof is still intact. We should thank God for it. There is no reason to complain."

Prince Wang's words were full of double meanings, and Wen Meijiu's scalp tingled when he heard them.

What did he mean? Was he saying that she didn't know what was good for her and that she was able to escape from Qingfeng Tower unscathed only because of his protection, so she shouldn't have any complaints anymore?

It is not certain who will protect whom.

Besides, if he didn't come to her house for lunch, why would she need to go to Qingfeng Tower to make a request; if he didn't follow her, she would have plenty of ways to get away.

After all, she saved him when he was about to die from the poison. How could he talk like that?

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and Wen Meijiu suppressed the rising breath in his heart, and said with a smile:

"My house has withstood all kinds of wind and rain and is still very strong. This is not because of any blessing from God, but because we had a keen eye and took the initiative to choose it.

Hey, Brother Zhizheng, do you think I am right?"

Wen Meijiu seemed to be talking to Master Wang, but he didn't seem to be talking to Master Wang. He turned around and asked about stopping the dispute.

"Stop fighting, what do you think?"

While drinking warm wine, Prince Wang also glanced at Zhizheng and asked for his opinion.

At the same time, two different gazes shot towards him. Stopping the dispute was like a sharp sword in his back. To say that it was a sharp sword in his back was not accurate, as it felt like itching on his chest.

"Well, we're going to eat steamed bread here for lunch. I have to go and see if Madam Wen has prepared it. I'm so greedy."

After scratching his head for a while, Zhi Zheng felt that he couldn't afford to offend anyone, so he quickly found an excuse and ran out.

At this time, only Prince Wang and Wen Meijiu were left in the main room, staring at each other.

"I didn't think I said anything, so why did he run away?"

Wen Meijiu didn't feel anything when there were people around, but when he stopped fighting and ran away, she suddenly felt the atmosphere became several degrees more depressing.

After all, he is a prince and a person of status. Wen Meijiu is not very good at arguing with him face to face.
