Zhao Wei hurriedly stepped forward to help one of the old men up and asked, "Old man, what's going on?"

Unexpectedly, the old man firmly grabbed Zhao Wei's sleeve and viciously said, "My son came to eat at your place yesterday. Not long after he returned, he suddenly foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground dead. What poison did you poison him with?"

"Yes!"

A woman on the side also stood up while crying and pointed at Zhao Wei's nose and scolded, "You guys are clearly a black shop!" "She thinks that since esteemed wangfei opened this shop, she's just acting recklessly, clearly looking down on us common folk!"

"Exactly! That's right! It's obviously because they view human life as worthless! "

When he said this, Zhao Wei's heart jumped. He was bowing and kneeling because he was afraid that someone would connect this matter with the King's Manor, but someone still said it out loud. This further confirmed Zhao Wei's judgement.

He grabbed the old man's shoulder and brought him to the store to sit down. However, in the eyes of outsiders, it was as if he was holding onto the old man and bringing him into the shop. Just as the old man wanted to shout out, he met Zhao Wei's murderous gaze.

"Everyone, come in and take a seat. It's cold outside, so it's not a big deal to stand around at the door."

Zhao Wei gestured for everyone to sit in the restaurant.

"San'er, go and boil some water for everyone to make some tea."

Zhao Wei called for a waiter to fetch water and make tea for everyone. He also called for a servant and said in a low voice, "Go report to esteemed wangfei that we're short on materials today. We can't open the shop for the time being, so don't let her come."

That person was also a smart person, so he naturally knew what Zhao Wei meant.

However, at this moment, Luo Lingwei and her group had encountered other troubles.

Early this morning, Luo Lingwei was still resting when she heard Xiaoqing's anxious knocking on the door.

"Sis Weiwei, it's bad! Lil 'White is gone!"

Luo Lingwei had been together with them for more than half a year, so she had long treated them as her own sisters.

Hearing that Little White had disappeared, Luo Lingwei was so scared that she immediately jumped up from the bed.

"When did we discover that Lil 'White disappeared!"

She quickly opened the door and shouted to Xiaoqing.

He saw that Xiaoqing's eyes were bloodshot and her tears were still on her face. It was obvious that she had just been crying.

"Yesterday morning, Little White said that he would go to the mountains to gather some herbs to nourish Empress's body. I waited for her for an entire night, but she still hasn't come back yet!"

Xiaoqing tried her best to hold in her tears.

Luo Lingwei hurriedly put on her clothes and rushed to Ye Lianhe's study with Xiaoqing in tow.

At this moment, Ye Lianhe was in his study, handling secret reports that came from various places. He was feeling displeased when he saw how Beiyang County's County Governor, Wang Shiqing, had been killed.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of footsteps outside the door. He frowned in displeasure and raised his head to meet Luo Lingwei's gaze. Half of his anger had instantly dissipated.

Ye Lianhe revealed an enchanting smile and calmly said, "I want to borrow some men and horses from you."

"What are you going to do?"

Ye Lianhe was somewhat displeased. After all, mobilizing the personal guards of the Duke's Mansion was not a small matter, especially during the special period when he and his two nephews were fighting openly and secretly.

"Xiaobai has disappeared.

"When Ye Lian heard about this matter, he became extremely angry.

"Because of such a small matter, you have to mobilize This King's personal guards?"

As far as he was concerned, the lives of these lower class people weren't important in the first place.

"What did you say?" Say that again if you dare! "

Luo Lingwei slammed the table and yelled.

When Ye Lianhe saw this, his temper immediately rose as he shouted, "So what if I said it? As a wangfei, it's fine if you hang out with a servant all day long, but now you don't know what's important. Do you really think that I won't be angry just for a servant?"

Luo Lingwei only felt that these words were ear-piercing. She raised her hand to point at the tip of Ye Lianhe's nose and asked, "Servant? Grandaunt, let me tell you, no human life in this world is born to be inferior! Pui! The nobles would rather have a seed! You with the surname Ye, do you think your bloodline is noble? In my opinion, your so-called noble dignity is not as important as that of the beggars on the streets. For a cold-blooded and heartless person like you, if you ever end up on the streets, let's see whether or not your noble bloodline can make you eat your fill! "

Luo Lingwei's words caused Ye Lianhe's face to turn red. Although Ye Lianhe wanted to retort, he was left speechless.

Moreover, an ordinary person would not be able to endure being insulted like this by someone pointing at their nose. Not to mention Ye Lianhe's personality. He angrily took out a long sword from a guard's waist, and hacked the book in front of him.

Seeing that, Xiaoqing, who was to the side, hurriedly stood in front of Luo Lingwei, but Luo Lingwei pushed her away. Pointing her long blade at her chest, she said, "Speak, only a narrow-minded and ignorant person like you would classify a person into several grades! If the Xuan King's Great Ancestor hadn't been able to make a decision back then, he might have become a slave of some high and mighty prince! Do you think you can be superior just by virtue of your ancestors? "Let me tell you, a person like you is at least not an emperor. If you become an emperor, then you will definitely be attacked by the whole world!"

At this moment, Ye Lianhe was unable to contain his anger. He was so angry that his entire body was trembling. He picked up his long sword and was about to slash it at Luo Lingwei.
