Wei Wen returned to the prince’s residence in anger and ran into Wei Feng heading out.

“Second Brother is going out?”

“Yes.” Wei Feng nodded coldly.

Wei Wen felt quite hurt by Wei Feng’s attitude.

She didn’t know what was wrong with Second Brother—he had suddenly become like this.

Was it just because that day she had spoken a few words from Eldest Brother’s perspective?

To apologize for this, Wei Wen couldn’t lower her head.

She clearly wasn’t the one in the wrong.

“Is Second Brother going to You Jian Wine House?”

“Yes.” Wei Feng thought of that rosy-lipped, white-toothed goose-raising youth, his heart itching, and his tone naturally revealed some impatience. “Why is younger sister asking about this? Is there something?”

“Nothing. The weather is cold—Second Brother shouldn’t return too late.”

Hearing Wei Wen say this, Wei Feng’s tone softened somewhat. “Should I bring some food back for you?”

Wei Wen couldn’t help pressing her lips together and used considerable willpower to refuse. “No need.”

The next day, Wei Feng, who once again failed to see the goose-raising youth as he wished, was preparing to go out when Wei Wen stopped him.

“Second Sister is telling me to pretend I got food poisoning yesterday?”

Wei Wen nodded. “Second Brother doesn’t know how arrogant Miss Luo is. Yesterday I went to borrow the cook to prepare a lunch meal for Mother Consort, and she refused without any mercy, giving our prince’s residence no face at all.”

“But others went to eat last night too. If I’m the only one with food poisoning, wouldn’t that be laughable?”

Wei Wen smiled. “Why is Second Brother so straightforward? I just need an excuse.”

With this excuse, she could righteously go look for trouble with that wench surnamed Luo.

As for whether the excuse was clever, who cared? At a time like this, would anyone still stand up for people from the Grand Commander’s residence?

Wei Feng frowned. “Why must younger sister do this?”

Wei Wen’s face darkened. “Does Second Brother not care at all that others are trampling the prince’s residence’s dignity underfoot? Even if you don’t care about this, wouldn’t it be good to let Mother Consort eat palatable meals whenever she wants?”

Wei Feng was startled. “Younger sister plans to bring You Jian Wine House’s cook to the prince’s residence?”

Wei Wen curved her lips. “Does Second Brother think this isn’t good?”

The principle of being guilty of possessing treasure—that arrogant Miss Luo probably didn’t understand yet.

Wei Feng frowned. “If that happens, won’t You Jian Wine House be unable to continue operating?”

If the wine house closed, where would he go to see Fuxue?

Wei Wen looked at Wei Feng with surprise. “What does it matter to us if You Jian Wine House can’t continue? With the cook around, we can eat whatever we want anyway.”

She didn’t know if she was being overly sensitive, but she always felt Second Brother’s reaction was somewhat strange.

Wei Feng’s heart tightened with alarm, becoming vigilant.

His thoughts weren’t ready to be revealed yet.

Originally, he had wanted to wait until after the Luo residence was raided and convicted to get Fuxue. Since younger sister now wanted to make a move on You Jian Wine House’s cook, that seemed fine too.

If Miss Luo couldn’t protect the cook, naturally she couldn’t protect her male companion either.

Wei Feng’s hesitation made Wei Wen somewhat displeased. She frowned and said, “Second Brother, I don’t need you to do anything, just don’t go out today. Can’t you even help with this small favor?”

“Fine, then I won’t go out.”

Wei Wen smiled sweetly. “Thank you, Second Brother.”

Seeing Wei Wen about to leave, with some sibling affection remaining, Wei Feng couldn’t help reminding her, “Take more people with you.”

“I know. Second Brother can rest assured.”

Wei Wen led a large group of guards marching directly toward Qingxing Street.

Qingxing Street remained lively, unchanged by You Jian Wine House’s quietness.

It was just that some people passing by the wine house couldn’t help grumbling inwardly: With only one or two customers, can’t they make less delicious food?

Isn’t this deliberately making people crave it!

The sky was still bright. It wasn’t yet time for You Jian Wine House to open, and the wine house staff were routinely making preparations before opening.

Sheng Sanlang was leisurely sweeping the entrance with a broom. Inadvertently looking up, his mouth couldn’t help gaping open. Dragging his broom, he rushed into the main hall. “Cousin—”

Luo Sheng looked over and asked, “Has Prince Pingnan’s residence’s young commandery princess arrived?”

Sheng Sanlang was even more surprised than when he saw the menacing group of people outside. “Cousin, how did you know?”

Luo Sheng smiled gracefully. “Some people like looking for trouble. Didn’t she already come yesterday?”

An ordinary man is innocent, but possessing treasure makes him guilty.

When the Grand Commander’s residence could no longer serve as You Jian Wine House’s backing, You Jian Wine House became fat meat in many people’s eyes.

The wine house had nothing special about it. What was special was the cook who could make delicious food that people flocked to.

If it wasn’t Prince Pingnan’s residence’s young commandery princess looking for trouble, it would be someone else.

As soon as Wei Wen came yesterday, she knew this was just the beginning, with more matters waiting ahead.

Wei Wen had already arrived nearby. Glancing at the half-open shop door, she said coldly, “Break down the door!”

Three to five guards immediately stepped forward.

The female proprietor blocked the doorway. “We can talk things over nicely—why break down the door right away?”

“Do you know who I am?” Wei Wen raised her chin slightly and asked the female proprietor.

The female proprietor spoke humbly. “You are Prince Pingnan’s residence’s young commandery princess.”

“Since you know, why are you blocking here like a guard dog? My elder brother got food poisoning here yesterday. Today I’ve come to demand an explanation from your proprietor!”

Outside the wine house, those passersby who couldn’t resist the fragrance and involuntarily quickened their pace stopped one after another to watch the excitement.

Some even exchanged observations.

“I knew something would happen long ago. Being so fragrant is just inviting people to snatch it. Now this wine house has no one protecting it anymore.”

“Right, right. I’ve been waiting for many days. I thought there would be excitement to watch the day after Grand Commander Luo got into trouble…”

“Look quickly, Miss Luo is coming out!” The crowd watching the excitement stirred, as if injected with adrenaline.

The young woman wearing a blue cloak strode out from the wine house and kicked one of the prince’s residence guards preparing to break the door to the ground.

Before Wei Wen could react, that frosty young woman had already come before her.

Wei Wen instinctively stepped back.

Many people knew Miss Luo had some martial arts skills, but that kick just now was decisive and fierce—nothing like showy embroidered fists.

If it landed on her body—

Luo Sheng stood before Wei Wen and smiled slightly. “If the Commandery Princess is bringing people to smash the shop, at least select the people you bring.”

The guard kicked to the ground felt deeply humiliated and scrambled up, preparing to charge forward.

A large hand grabbed him.

Shi Yan chuckled. “Little brother, don’t be so tactless. When the young ladies are talking, why are you joining in the excitement? If I were you, I’d find a crack to crawl into and stay quiet.”

The guard was held immobile and immediately became obedient.

“The Commandery Princess says your elder brother got food poisoning at our wine house?”

“That’s right. Starting from midnight yesterday, my elder brother began having diarrhea. The imperial physician said it was from consuming unclean food.”

Luo Sheng gazed steadily at Wei Wen.

Wei Wen sneered coldly. “What, Miss Luo doesn’t intend to acknowledge it?”

Luo Sheng smiled and shook her head. “Whether I acknowledge it or not, let’s set that aside. I want to ask the Commandery Princess one question.”

“Ask what?”

“Despite the Commandery Princess’s noble status, you act like a marketplace ruffian. Does the Commandery Princess truly not feel ashamed?”

Wei Wen’s face flushed red with anger. “Shut your mouth! What are you now, that you dare criticize an imperial clan woman?”
