"That's what I said, but the Eighth Prince insisted that he was his nephew, so I didn't dare to provoke him!"

Leng Yicheng turned around and glared at him.

"Shangpintang's business has always been good. Can you please stop causing trouble? Besides, your aunt has already told you to just do your business. Why are you looking for trouble with Bao'antang? It would be good if this matter is resolved. If it is not resolved, not only will your aunt not help you, but she will also be angry with you. You are really a worry for me."

Wang Wu pursed his lips, blinked a few times and replied:

"I just wanted to make more money to support my aunt and cousin. Who could have thought that the Eighth Prince would show up halfway? What should I do now? Am I going to take this loss?"

"What else do you want? You were the one who started it. Even if we bring it to the palace and tell it to the emperor, it's still your fault. Don't even mention that they want you to pay five times the compensation. Even if they want you to pay ten or a hundred times the compensation, you have to accept it. Go back! Don't bother me here."

"But……"

"Alright, don't say but. I will have someone check the background of this shopkeeper surnamed Luo. Remember, don't cause trouble again. I am helpless now and cannot speak for you. My mother will not interfere in your affairs."

Wang Wu sighed helplessly and nodded.

"Okay, then I can only consider myself unlucky. Goodbye."

After leaving these words, he turned around angrily and walked away with big strides.

It was not until he left that Ah Cai, who had just come out from Luo Nianqing, walked in quickly.

"Your Highness, I just went to see Concubine Luo, and everything is normal with her."

"Well, that's good. By the way, when you have time, go check out the Bao'antang Clinic and see who the owner surnamed Luo is."

"The shopkeeper surnamed Luo? Your Highness, do you think there is something wrong?"

"He said he was the nephew of the Eighth Uncle. If he was the nephew of the Eighth Uncle, how could I not know? You should check him out when you have time to see who he is."

"Yes, I will check it out tomorrow."

Although Leng Yicheng said that he didn't care about Wang Wu's affairs, he still cared about him behind his back.

After all, most of the expenses in his mansion come from Shangpin Hall. If he takes benefits from them, he has to do things for them!

……

Prince Yan's Mansion

The Eighth Prince left after dinner. After Luo Nianxi and Leng Yiyan played with Si Jin for a while, they felt tired and returned to their rooms.

As soon as she entered the room, Leng Yiyan, who had just had a drink with the Eighth Prince, closed the door, hugged her from behind, and asked with concern:

"My dear, I have wronged you today. I blame myself for not protecting you. I am sorry."

She turned around and threw herself into his arms, smiling softly.

"How can I blame you for this? If you hadn't supported me behind the scenes and let the Eighth Prince make the decision for me, I would have had a lot of trouble to resolve this matter smoothly."

He lowered his lips and kissed her forehead lightly, then hugged her tightly with his arms.

"You know, I heard from Ling Xiao that Bao'an Hall was smashed. I wanted to bring thousands of troops to tear that guy into pieces, but after I calmed down and thought about it, you didn't want people to know about my relationship with Bao'an Hall. If I did that, your Bao'an Hall would not be able to open. I hesitated again and again before deciding to ask the Eighth Imperial Uncle to come forward. In this way, even if Shangpin Hall was opened by Concubine Rong's nephew, he would not dare to confront the Eighth Imperial Uncle. Secondly, if he came forward, no one would doubt our identities, and no one would dare to cause trouble in your Bao'an Hall in the future."

"But isn't the Eighth Uncle's nephew also the Emperor's nephew? Isn't he your cousin? Which princess's child is this? This doesn't make sense!"

He raised his hand and tapped her forehead.

"Who says a nephew has to be a biological child? Back then, when the Eighth Uncle was fighting on the frontier, he recognized a step-sister. This step-sister saved him and was very kind to him. It's not an exaggeration to say that this nephew is the child of this step-sister!"

"Is there such a thing? The Eighth Prince has never married. Is it related to this adopted sister?"

Leng Yiyan shook his head.

"I'm not sure, but it is said that this step-sister was already engaged at that time, and the Eighth Prince stayed at her home for half a year to recover from his injuries before returning to the capital. After that, the Eighth Prince often sent people to deliver things, but those things were all returned because his step-sister and her family had moved away long ago and were nowhere to be found..."

Luo Nianxi shook her head with some regret as if she was listening to a story.

"If that's the case, then the Eighth Prince has never married, so he must be interested in this adopted sister. Then why don't they get together? What a pity..."

"Well, this happened many years ago, so let's not talk about it. I just told you this to prove your identity as his nephew."

"Well, then just treat me as the nephew of the Eighth Uncle, but the Eighth Uncle said that Wang Wu is not a good person, so I should pay more attention to him..."

When she said this, she suddenly frowned as if she had thought of something.

"My husband, I heard that two medical clinics caught fire at night...Bao'an Hall..."

Leng Yiyan's face changed color at this moment, and he was almost eight points sober.

He quickly came to the door and shouted,

"Ling Xiao, Ling Yun, Su Yi, Jiang Hai..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the four men ran up to him.

"My Lord, what happened?"

"The four of you take Yongyan and the other three and go outside Bao'an Hall to see if there is anything unusual. If you find anyone suspicious, come back and inform us immediately, and take the person to Shuntian Mansion..."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After hearing this, Ling Xiao and the other three called Yong Yan and the other three, and left Prince Yan's Mansion together.

Luo Nianxi's heart was beating wildly at this moment.

She didn't expect that she would get into so much trouble just because she wanted to open a clinic.

The moment Leng Yiyan turned around, she lowered her eyebrows and said:

"My husband, I'm sorry for causing you trouble. I originally thought that opening a clinic and curing illnesses and saving lives would be a good deed, but who could have thought that there would be so many troubles."

He took her hand, led her into the house, and rested his forehead against hers, murmuring lovingly,

"I'm your man. It's my honor to help you solve your problems. Don't say sorry in the future. You haven't done anything sorry to me. Never say such things in the future."

His words left her at a loss for how to respond and made her feel guilty.

How could she not have done anything sorry to him?

She felt sorry for him regarding Si Jin’s matter.

She lied to him about being pregnant.

Now, she has caused him trouble again in the matter of Bao'antang.

But he had no complaints towards her and believed in her unconditionally, which made her feel even more sorry for him.

She pulled him to sit on the bed, took off his shoes and socks, and said softly:

"Husband, you go to sleep first. I'll wait for news from Ling Xiao and the others."

He raised his hand and pulled her to sit on the edge of the bed.

"My wife wants to wait, why would I go to sleep first? Let's chat for a while!"

She nodded gently, took off her shoes, leaned on him, and chatted with him about the past...
