"No, I must eat here today."

She is considered half the owner of this restaurant. It is an international joke that the owner is threatened while eating in her own restaurant.

At this time, another guard came over. He glanced at the two guards, and the two guards immediately lowered their heads and dared not make any other movements.

Obviously, this guard was of higher rank than these two. He turned and clasped his fists towards Ye Shian in a friendly manner.

"Excuse me, ladies. My master is going to entertain a very important guest today. Please move somewhere else."

As he spoke, he took out a silver ingot and threw it to Ye Shian: "This silver is an apology to the two girls, please accept it."

Ye Shian dodged subconsciously, and the silver rolled down the stairs.

Seeing that it was me who looked familiar, Ye Shian narrowed his eyes and said, "It's you!"

When they encountered bandits in Yuanbao Mountain, it was the person in front of them who saved them mother and daughter in disguise.

"Why? Do you know me, girl?"

It’s not that Cheng An has a bad memory, it’s that Ye Shian has changed so much that he can’t recognize her at all. Moreover, under the circumstances at that time, Cheng An would not care about a fleeing woman, so naturally he would not remember Ye Shian.

"I can't say I know you, but since you said so, I'll give you this honor today."

As she said this, she took two steps back and walked down the stairs. After taking a few steps, Ye Shian turned back and bent down to pick up the silver on the ground.

"Only fools have trouble with money."

"Let's go Yinzhu. I'll take you to eat something else."

Walking up to Shopkeeper Wang, Ye Shian whispered, "This sucker is rich, so let's rip him off."

Before he finished speaking, Old Wei appeared at the door and said, "Who is so blind as to provoke our Shi'an girl?"

"Mr. Wei." Ye Shian understood immediately: "The important guest invited upstairs couldn't be you, right?"

Elder Wei looked at the second floor where Ye Shian pointed and said, "Well, if there is no one else, then I should be the one being talked about."

"Well, Mr. Wei, you are indeed a distinguished guest. Shopkeeper Wang, Mr. Wei, this table is on my list."

Shopkeeper Wang naturally agreed. Mr. Wei was not a stranger after all, so Shopkeeper Wang stepped forward and respectfully made a gesture of invitation.

"Mr. Wei, please go upstairs."

Old Wei turned to look at Ye Shian and said, "The host is indeed rich, so let him pay for this. Shian girl, come upstairs with me and give him a good meal."

Ye Shian waved his hand quickly: "I won't go. He must have asked you to discuss serious matters. It's not appropriate for me to go."

After saying that, she took Yinzhu and ran away. Old Wei looked at her fleeing figure and shook his head helplessly: "This girl."

As Ye Shian left with Yinzhu, another man stood up and followed him.

Li Hongting stood at the window on the second floor of the restaurant and had a panoramic view of everything happening on the street.

It was not until Elder Wei came in that Li Hongting turned around and said, "Elder Wei."

"This old minister greets the Second Prince."

"Mr. Wei, please stand up quickly."

After the two of them sat down, Li Hongting went straight to the point: "Why did Mr. Wei rush me here?"

Mr. Wei smiled proudly: "This is a great plan for the people."

"Oh?"

Mr. Wei stroked his beard and smiled...

It was not until Ye Shian and Yinzhu drove the carriage towards Changning Village that the people following behind turned back.

In the innermost room on the second floor of Tongbao Casino, Ye Hai was sitting there lazily. A shivering man was kneeling at his feet. The man was covered in blood and his right eye was swollen like a walnut.

"Master Xiao Hai, Master Xiao Hai, please spare my life."

In the dim room, Ye Hai's expression could not be seen clearly, but his silence was enough to make the man under his feet tremble.

"Do you know that I am in charge of this gambling house now?"

"You cheated in the gambling house I manage. You don't even take me seriously."

The man was shaking with fear, and he kept kowtowing: "I was wrong, Master Xiao Hai, I was wrong, I was wrong, please forgive me this time, Master Xiao Hai, I kowtow to you, please..."

Ye Hai stood up from his chair, his tone somewhat helpless: "If I forgive you today and forgive him tomorrow, I will not be able to open this gambling house..."

Hearing this, the man froze there.

"How about this, I will punish you a little today. Firstly, it will teach you a lesson, and secondly, I will have given an explanation to Master Jiu."

He just tilted his head slightly, and his men immediately stepped forward and held down the man kneeling on the ground.

"No, no, no..."

He wanted to struggle and beg for mercy, but after being beaten and tortured, he had no strength to resist.

I saw two people holding him down, one covered his mouth and the other pulled his hand forcefully. The skill of the two people was frightening.

"Well, well, well..."

The knife came down and two fingers fell to the ground. The man's eyes almost popped out of his head in pain, and beads of sweat dripped from his forehead...

The man was shaking with pain, and his two men dragged him out like a dead dog.

Ever since Old Lady Ye disappeared, the people in the Ye family have changed.

The one who changed the most was Ye Hai, who seemed to have grown up overnight.

He did not look for those dirty and tiring jobs again, but chose to come to the gambling house. He was bold and careful in his work, and he accidentally saved Jiu Ye once. This made him quickly gain Jiu Ye's recognition, and soon the gambling house business was handed over to him.

And he did not disappoint Jiu Ye. Since the gambling house came into his hands, the income has continued to rise, and Jiu Ye has trusted him even more since then.

The room was quickly cleaned, and then a man walked in. This man was none other than the person who had been secretly following Ye Shian.

"Master Xiao Hai, today they went to the pig head shop, and also went to..."

"You said she knew Mr. Wei?"

The man nodded: "From the way they talk, they should be very familiar with each other."

"This old man Wei is the younger brother of Madam Shen's family. He is the Grand Tutor and his influence in the court cannot be underestimated."

Ye Hai sneered: "So it turns out that I have relied on this big guy. No wonder..."

No wonder my grandmother was driven out when she went to report to the government. It turned out that Ye Shian had connections everywhere.

Thinking of grandma, Ye Hai clenched his fists again.

It is still unknown whether his grandmother is still in this world, but no matter what, he will not let Ye Shian go.

After all, Old Lady Ye was her own grandmother, how could she be so cruel...

"Go check the whereabouts of this Mr. Wei."

"Yes!"

Ye Lian'er checked the contents of the bag once again, making sure that everything she had prepared was there before she picked up the items and walked towards Qian Cheng's house.

Ever since that incident at the lake, Ye Lian'er had often gone to Qian Cheng's house to help with laundry, cooking and housework. The scholar's mother had originally been upset about the fact that Old Lady Ye had extorted ten taels of silver from her, but she really liked Ye Lian'er, and Old Lady Yue had disappeared, so the scholar's mother finally felt relieved.

Now he treats Ye Lian'er as his daughter-in-law.
