Murong Yanhui sat down gracefully, waiting for the meal to start calmly. Yu Zhengsha didn't say much when he saw this, but thought to himself that it seemed that Murong Yanhui had also realized the tight security and would probably not dare to be presumptuous again.

Humph, he's smart.

Plates of exquisite and delicious dishes were served on the table, which whetted everyone's appetite and made them ready to start eating.

The sound of hurried footsteps drew everyone's attention to the direction of the person coming. They saw Jiang Bai with an anxious look on his face. He walked up to Yu Zhengsha and whispered to him for a while. Yu Zhengsha's expression became more serious.

"The Prime Minister looks strange, but something important has happened."

Yu Zhengsha couldn't help but glance at Murong Yanhui, seeming a little confused and a little angry.

"Oh, nothing. You guys eat first. I'll be right back."

Yu Zhengsha would never show his panic on his face at any time. Besides, it was just a few shops, not enough to make him lose his composure.

But this time, things got out of hand.

In broad daylight, not to mention the several shops that Yu Zhengsha had sent people to seize from Yu Qingli, even the Yu family's original business suffered huge losses.

Yu Zhengsha put down his chopsticks and left the table with Jiang Bai. For a moment, only Murong Yanhui, Murong Feng and Yu Qingli were left sitting at the table. Facing the table full of delicacies, for some reason, Yu Qingli wanted to know more about the situation on Yu Zhengsha's side.

Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle

Yu Zhengsha's pace was very fast. His long brocade robe swept down most of the winter jasmine flowers on both sides of the road, but he didn't notice it at all. Finally, the two of them passed through the long corridor and came to the garden. The servants in the mansion took the initiative to avoid him when they saw this. The master's expression was really scary.

Yu Zhengsha finally stopped, and Jiang Bai, who was following closely behind him, also stopped in time and lowered his head respectfully.

"Jiang Bai, what you just said is true."

“Every word is true”

Jiang Bai's expression was unusually ugly. His face, which had been worn down by the vicissitudes of life, was now filled with a hint of panic.

Yu Zhengsha's old face also looked very ugly. He clenched his teeth tightly, as if trying to control his anger. His expression became more and more stern. After a while, he squeezed out a sentence from his throat, "Did you catch the person?"

Jiang Bai shook his head. This was the most frightening part.

Under such a bright and clear sky, more than a dozen shops of the Yu family were attacked at the same time, and the methods used were all kinds of strange and bizarre.

Some shops were robbed, and within just a few hours, all the valuables in the shops disappeared, and even the officers and soldiers guarding outside did not notice anything. Some shops caught fire inexplicably, and when the fire was finally put out, it was discovered that there was no point in continuing to operate the shops.

There were rumors on the street that the shop was haunted by an evil spirit, because a green-faced, fang-toothed ghost mask was left at the scene. People even gave it a very resounding name, "Hell Yama".

Seeing the panic in Jiang Bai's eyes, Yu Zhengsha frowned slightly, "Jiang Bai, could it be that even you believed that nonsense?"

Jiang Bai immediately lowered his head, "Master, please calm down. I was stupid."

"Hmph, I think you're truly foolish this time. This is clearly the work of some experts. To be able to commit such a heinous crime under the noses of those government officials, just think about it, who could have such connections."

Jiang Bai raised his eyes, then quickly lowered them, "Master, do you still doubt the King of Yan?"

Yu Zhengsha sneered, "It's not doubt, it's certainty"

In Jiangnan, even if Yu Zhengsha himself wanted to gather such people to do these things to the shops under the Yu family, it would probably not be an easy task, but there is one person who can do it easily.

Who would be more likely to gather such "talents" than the King of Yan, who has always been unruly and likes to mingle in the rivers and lakes?

The answer is absolutely unique, Murong Yan replied. It seems that this time, he will definitely help Yu Qingli.

Yu Zhengsha's expression changed slightly, and Murong Yan replied that he had offended a very serious person.

What made Yu Zhengsha depressed was that although he knew who was the mastermind behind the scenes, he couldn't find any evidence, so he had no way to deal with Murong Yanhui.

"Master, now we..."

Yu Zhengsha closed his eyes. The Yu family's shop must have suffered heavy losses this time. It was impossible to recover the losses. The only thing he could do now was to minimize the losses.

"Immediately cease all business in all stores. All business will be suspended until further notice."

"Suspended business"

Jiang Bai opened his eyes wide. If this happened, how much money would be lost? I'm afraid the entire Yu family would come to cause trouble. After all, other family members also invested in these businesses.

"This is the best solution right now. Okay, go down and do it first. I'll naturally come forward to handle anything else."

"Yes"

Jiang Bai's tone was filled with obvious helplessness and regret. He could even predict that the Yu Mansion would be "crowded with people" in the next few days.

After finishing the explanation, Yu Zhengsha returned to the dinner party, and his eyes when he looked at Murong Yanhui and Yu Qingli became more serious.

There was silence during the meal, with only the sound of the bowls and chopsticks accidentally colliding. Murong Feng also noticed that Yu Zhengsha's eyes looked a little different, and he frowned slightly, wondering whether he should greet his future father-in-law in advance.

Yu Qingli's expression was very calm, as she was thinking about what to do next and how to do it.

"Your Majesty, I offer you a toast."

Yu Zhengsha suddenly spoke, breaking the depressing atmosphere. He picked up the glass cup in his hand and met Murong Yanhui's deep eyes, but there was a hint of unspeakable anger in his tone.

Murong Yanhui glanced at Yu Qingli seemingly unintentionally, but Yu Qingli understood the meaning in her eyes. She bit her lip lightly. This man really never forgot the deal with her at any time. However, it was thanks to him this time that her business would be so smooth.

Fighting violence with violence is the only measure she can take when necessary.

A faint smile appeared on his lips, and Murong Yanhui's bony fingers lifted the wine glass in front of him, "The Prime Minister toasts, how can I not drink?"

Murong Yanhui drank it all in one gulp, and Yu Zhengsha also finished the wine in the glass in one gulp.

"Your Highness, I admire you. I never thought you were so talented. I underestimated you before. I apologize to you."

Yu Zhengsha was hinting at something, and Murong Yanhui naturally understood what he was talking about. This old fox probably already knew who was behind everything that happened in the shop, but he just didn't have any evidence.

As long as there is no evidence, Murong Yanhui would not care even if he defeated the prime minister. What's more, he was very interested in the fight between the father and daughter. If he did not participate in such an interesting thing, it would be a shame to his own nature.

Having fun and pleasing a beautiful woman at the same time, why not do such a good thing?

Murong Yanhui's eyes curved, and the corners of his lips curled up. "Really, the Prime Minister has confused me. When have you ever looked down on me? I really don't know. There's no need to apologize so severely."

Seeing Murong Yanhui's face full of ungratefulness, Yu Zhengsha was burning with anger, but because of his status, he could only pretend to be agreeable.

Murong Feng, who was standing aside, looked at the strange atmosphere between the two people and couldn't help but feel a little weird in his heart. He really couldn't understand what they were talking about at all.

Yu Qingli understood it, and it was obvious that her father had already known the truth behind the matter. It was a pity that even if he knew it, what could he do?

Jiang Bai's panicked appearance just now made Yu Qingli start to praise the efficiency of the King of Yan. She thought that after the robbery, he would at least calm down for two days to give Yu Zhengsha some time to relax his guard, but she never thought that he would be so bold and wanton.

Although she is still unclear about what Murong Yanhui did, judging from the reactions of Yu Zhengsha and Jiang Bai, it is obvious that he has touched their sore spots.

I couldn't help but admire this person more.

The warm breeze blew gently, making those who were irritable even more irritable and those who were comfortable even more comfortable. Dinner ended in such an atmosphere.

After dinner, Yu Qingli did not stay for long and went straight to Liyuan, and Murong Feng followed closely behind.

Yu Qingli knew Murong Feng was following behind her, but she did not stop. Mei Hong, who had been following closely beside her, was anxious and kept coming to Yu Qingli and whispering, "Miss, the eldest prince is behind us, Miss..."

"I understand, Meihong, go back and prepare some refreshments. The eldest prince and I will be here soon."

Mei Hong behind him seemed relieved after hearing this. She thought that the young lady was ignoring the eldest prince, but it turned out that she already had a plan in mind. This was good.

Mei Hong left in a hurry, with a briskness in her steps. Thinking that the eldest prince was about to drink the tea she had brewed herself, she couldn't help but feel happy.

Looking at Mei Hong's excited figure, Yu Qingli remained silent, with a cold look in her lowered eyes, but she still slowed down her pace, intentionally waiting for Murong Feng to go with her.

Passing through the layers of corridors, Yu Qingli turned around and disappeared into the colorful flowers of the garden. Murong Feng, who followed closely behind her, finally spoke.

"Qingli, stay."

Yu Qingli stopped, but felt disgusted in her heart. Her bare hands were already clenched in her wide robe, but a shy smile appeared on her face. She turned around gracefully and said, "Your Highness..."

Murong Feng took two steps forward, his gentle and elegant face becoming even more charming in the sunlight, especially his eyes as warm as jade, with such a focused look that it seemed as if he was the only person in the world he was looking at.

Once upon a time, Yu Qingli was very obsessed with this. Whenever they slept in each other's arms, what she liked to look at most was Murong Feng's eyes. They were so focused, so affectionate, and that kind of eternal feeling that seemed to have never changed. Once upon a time, Yu Qingli thought that they would grow old together.

It's just a lie after all
