When they were about to leave for Wanning Prefecture, Mr. Wei arrived.

Ye Shian stared at Elder Wei with resentment: "Elder Wei, you came in person."

Old Wei laughed: "Why, you still don't welcome me? Little girls, have you had your meal?"

Well, Wei Lao Da, a veteran of two dynasties and the official Taifu, skipped breakfast early in the morning and ran to her house to eat.

Ye Shian forced a smile: "Of course, Mr. Wei has prepared food."

"Very good, very good."

Mr. Wei was not polite at all. Seeing that the food on the table had not been cleared away, he sat down.

"Today is soy milk. Soy milk is good. Soy milk tastes even better when sugar is added."

Ye Shian didn't dare to let Old Wei eat the leftovers: "Old Wei, wait a moment, these are our leftovers, I'll have someone bring some new ones right away."

Mr. Wei waved his hand: "It's okay, it's okay."

How could a minister like him not eat what the prince had left over?

The servant was also a discerning man. He took another bowl and served Mr. Wei a bowl of soy milk, and thoughtfully added sugar.

Looking at Old Wei, Ye Shian suddenly smiled. Old Wei was already here, why should she go to Wanning Prefecture? Wouldn't it be better to let Li Er go back with Old Wei later?

Mr. Wei must be worried about Li Er, which is why he came here so early in the morning.

Thinking of this possibility, Ye Shian's mood suddenly became much better.

"Mr. Wei, are you here to take Mr. Li back to Wanning Mansion?"

"Well, no, there are more important things than this."

"Is there anything more important than this?"

"I have already reported the high wheat yield to the court. The court will send someone over in the next few days. Don't sell your grain."

"Ah!" Ye Shian was dumbfounded: "But I can't finish all this food."

"This wheat is so productive, so it must be kept for seed."

"How much does the court plan to pay for these seeds?" Ye Shian's eyes sparkled. It didn't matter who she sold them to, as long as they paid her.

Speaking of this, Wei Lao was a little embarrassed: "Ahem, you also know that we are now at war with our neighboring country."

Ye Shian's heart sank, but he didn't want to show it too obviously: "When the country is in trouble, as a citizen, we naturally have to help. However, citizens also need to eat..."

"Don't worry, the court will not treat you unfairly."

After dinner, Ye Shian accompanied Old Wei for another walk in the fields. As they watched the wheat in the fields gradually decrease, the smile on Old Wei's face never disappeared.

Just when Ye Shian was wondering when Old Wei would take Li Er away, someone from Wanning Mansion arrived.

The person who came was none other than Shi Tou. When Ye Shian saw Shi Tou coming, he quickly pulled him to the corner.

"Shitou, why are you here?"

Shi Tou wiped the sweat from his face. He had set out here early in the morning.

"Second Miss, something happened in Sister Yinzhu's shop too."

"What did you say? Something happened to Yinzhu's shop?"

Shitou nodded and told Ye Shian everything: "Someone went to Sister Yinzhu's noodle shop to eat yesterday, and someone was poisoned and died on the spot."

"Dead?"

Shitou nodded. "The government was alerted at that time, and Sister Yinzhu was arrested and put in jail. Brother Sanjin was supposed to come, but the people who helped in the shop didn't come to work in the past two days. The shop was too busy, so he couldn't spare the time."

Ye Shian looked down at Shitou's feet. He was wearing a pair of worn cloth shoes with his toes exposed in the front and his heels exposed in the back.

"Next time don't walk, rent a car and I'll reimburse you."

"Hey." Stone grinned.

Ye Shian asked Shitou to wait for a moment and ran to meet Mr. Wei.

"Mr. Wei, I have something to do and need to go to Wanning Mansion. I may not be able to entertain you."

"It's okay, you can go, I will stay here with Mr. Li Er."

Ye Shian: ...

I'm not asking you to accompany him, I just want you to take him away for me.

She couldn't care less about other people's lives and deaths, she just hoped that her family wouldn't be implicated.

"Mr. Wei, I'm afraid this is inappropriate."

"It's okay, don't worry about these details, the second young master won't care either, right?"

Li Hongting replied calmly: "Yeah."

Ye Shian: Thank you.

"Mr. Wei, I'd better tell you the truth. It's really inappropriate for Mr. Li to live in my rural area. If he eats something bad and gets diarrhea, or gets cold while sleeping, I won't be able to explain it. You should take him back."

Li Hongting turned to look at Ye Shian and raised his eyebrows unhappily: "Miss Shian is chasing me."

Ye Shian clasped his hands together and said, "I dare not, I am really afraid that I cannot take good care of you."

"I've gotten used to living here these past two days."

Wei Lao: "I also think it's cooler here than my mansion. How about I stay here with the second young master for a few days until the grain is stored in the warehouse?"

"Li naturally agreed."

You agree, you agree, is this your home?

You two discussed and decided the matter. Have you asked me, the master?

Wei Lao: "Shian girl, what do you think?"

"I don't think it's a big deal, Mr. Wei," you should take Young Master Li back.

Before Ye Shian could finish the rest of the sentence, Old Wei had already made the decision: "Okay, it's settled. Shian girl, if you want to go to Wanning Mansion, go ahead. Second Master Li and I will take good care of ourselves."

What can Ye Shian say?

What else could she say.

"Then I'll take my leave."

After walking out of the dining room, Ye Shian suddenly stopped and looked back at the two people in the dining room.

Mr. Wei waved at her, signaling her to go quickly.

Ye Shian turned back and quickened his pace, muttering aggrievedly: "This is my home."

Before leaving, Ye Shian called Shen Cuo. Knowing that Yinzhu had been thrown into jail, Ye Shian did not dare to delay along the way, and the two of them rode fast on horseback.

When they were almost at Wanning Prefecture, Ye Shian asked Shen Cuo to put down the stone.

"Let him go into the city by himself. Let's go ahead."

In the Wanning Prefecture's prison, Yinzhu was lying on the ground curled up in a ball.

Hearing someone coming, she looked up blankly, and when she saw it was Ye Shian, she stood up suddenly.

"Shi'an. Shi'an, I didn't poison anyone. Believe me, I really didn't. Someone must have framed me on purpose."

Ye Shian patted Yinzhu's hand and said, "Don't be afraid. I know it's not you. I will get to the bottom of this matter."

"But the person died in the shop..." Yinzhu's tears fell.

From the incident yesterday until now, she has not dared to sleep. As soon as she closed her eyes, she saw the image of that man dying in front of her with blood gushing from all his orifices.

"Yinzhu, listen to me. Do you believe me?"

"Yes, of course I believe you."

"Trust me, just stay here and eat and drink. I will definitely rescue you."

Yinzhu nodded with tears in her eyes: "Well, I'll listen to you, I'll listen to you."

Tongbao Casino.

Ye Hai walked home alone in the alley.

Suddenly a person in front blocked his way.

Seeing that the person coming was Ye Shian, he smiled: "What a coincidence."
