The queen of the last days became a maid and just wanted to lie down

The people sent by Zhuang Mu returned empty-handed, and they didn't even see Pei Yi.

The housekeeper of the Pingxi Marquis's mansion told them that the girl in their mansion had confirmed the token and said that they might have found the wrong person, so they should look somewhere else.

Even when the brother and sister asked to meet Zi Yi, they were rejected.

With no other choice, he could only come back to report to Zhuang Mu.

Zhuang Mu conveyed the news to Pei Shuo, who found it strange. Could it be that his guess was true?

Unexpectedly, Zhuang Mu told him that the man was stopped by the Prince of Pingxi. "From what I see, he doesn't seem to know your sister's identity."

"What do you mean?"

Zhuang Mu chose his words carefully, fearing to offend him: "What I mean is that this prince might, perhaps, have a crush on your sister."

Pei Shuo's face suddenly turned dark, and he was anxious to find out.

Zhuang Mu hurriedly stopped him: "My Lord, calm down. This is not the Great Zhou, and you are not the Duke's Prince anymore. Don't be impulsive."

Pei Shuo took a deep breath, knowing that he was right. "Don't worry, I won't do anything rash."

"How about I help you think of a solution?"

Pei Shuo shook his head and rejected his kindness. The next day, he made rice candy again and carried it to the back door of Pingxi Marquis' Mansion.

Soon, those people came out to buy rice candy.

Pei Yi heard the hawking and followed out.

Guiyuan said, "Rice candy seller, why haven't you come for a few days? I thought you were not coming."

Pei Shuo smiled and said that he had something going on at home, so he hadn't been here these days. "Thank you sisters for thinking about me."

The little girls were very happy to see that he was so sweet-talking and gave them some rice candies. They took the rice candies and went back happily.

When only Pei Yi was left, the two siblings had time to talk.

"Sister, I sent someone to look for you a few days ago, hoping to take the opportunity to redeem you. Why didn't you come out?"

Pei Yi was helpless: "It was the prince who stopped the man. I didn't even know the news. I only knew about it when the maid in the princess' room accidentally let it slip that day."

"Why did he stop you? Did he know your identity?"

Pei Shuo was not in a hurry to think about the love between men and women, as he was afraid of angering his sister.

Pei Yi shook his head. "I don't know either. From what you said, this Pingxi Marquis has a close relationship with Yuan Qingzong. Why don't I stay here for a while and investigate. Maybe I can find something."

"No, this matter is full of dangers. I don't want you to take risks. I just want to rescue you now. Otherwise, you should come with me now, and I..."

"So the purple-clad girl is here."

Pei Shuo didn't notice Liang Hongwen's presence until he appeared in this place.

When he came just now, Pei Shuo didn't even notice the sound of his footsteps.

This made Pei Shuo feel a little nervous. This person had some kung fu skills, and they were not low at all.

Judging from this steady internal breath, he is definitely a martial artist.

Liang Hongwen walked closer and approached the two of them. Pei Shuo discovered that this man was a little taller than himself.

When it's in front of me, I feel very oppressive.

He forced a smile, like the common street vendors, showing a philistine smile. "Would you like to buy some rice candy?"

Liang Hongwen casually took out a bag of rice candy, took out one and put it in his mouth to taste it.

His eyes moved back and forth between the two of them. Pei Yi turned her head away and did not look at him. Pei Shuo also carefully kept his distance.

Liang Hongwen smiled and said, "This candy really tastes special. No wonder Miss Purple came out to buy it again and again."

Pei Yi nodded stiffly: "My Lord, please forgive me for making fun of you. I am just a little greedy. Please don't blame me."

"How come?" Liang Hongwen smiled. "I think this candy is delicious, too. Mother should like the taste."

Then he looked at Pei Shuo and asked, "Can you sell this candy?"

Pei Shuo noticed the way he looked at his sister. He was very familiar with this expression. They were all men, so how could he not know that this was definitely the way a man looked at a woman, almost as if he wanted to eat his sister up.

Pei Shuo suppressed his displeasure and said with some embarrassment: "It is my blessing that the prince likes this recipe, but I rely on this recipe to support my family. If the prince buys it, I..."

"I'll give you five hundred taels. With these five hundred taels, you don't have to come to the Pingxi Marquis's Mansion to sell rice candy. Of course, you can go to other places."

The implication of these words is that he is not allowed to appear in Pingxi Marquis Mansion again?

The smile on Pei Shuo's face froze for a moment. If it were in the past, he would not have cared about such a small amount of money. But now he was penniless and had to rely on his master for support.

When it comes to money, I really can't be tough.

More importantly, if he were to have a quarrel with Liang Hongwen due to his current status, it would be disadvantageous to his sister.

Pei Yi nodded slightly, and Pei Shuo could only flatter: "Thank you very much, my lord, but I can't write, this recipe..."

"It doesn't matter. That's what you said. I'll remember it."

Pei Shuo could only orally tell the recipe word for word. After Liang Hongwen got the recipe, he urged Pei Yi to go back.

Pei Yi didn't dare to stay any longer and could only follow Liang Hongwen back.

Seeing this, Pei Shuo couldn't help but clench his fists.

I just hope that my sister can be more careful on her own.

After entering the house, Pei Yi wanted to take Mi Tang back to the yard.

Unexpectedly, Liang Hongwen refused to let her go. "I don't remember the recipe a little bit. Why don't you ask Miss Ziyi to help me recall it?"

Pei Yi wanted to refuse, but he held her hand and led her to the study.

Along the way, Pei Yi tried to struggle, but he was so strong that she couldn't get away and could only stumble along as he led her.

Countless maids and old women along the way saw this and made way for them. After the people left, they looked at each other with curiosity in their eyes.

After entering the study, Liang Hongwen threw a pen to Pei Yi.

"Miss Ziyi, could you please write down the prescription so I can see if it's correct?"

Pei Yi rubbed her red hands, feeling a little scared. Although Liang Hongwen was still smiling, Pei Yi could feel that he was very unhappy.

What was the reason for this unhappiness? Could it be that he really knew his identity?

Pei Yi was a little nervous, afraid of angering him, so she could only stand obediently in front of the desk and start grinding, carefully writing a prescription.

After writing it down, Liang Hongwen seemed to be deliberately finding fault, "This wording seems to be wrong. Why don't I remember that the amount of this candy doesn't have so many ingredients? Miss Ziyi, why don't you think about it again. This is the candy recipe that I spent five hundred taels of silver to buy. I can't let it go at a loss, right?"

"Please forgive me, my lord. The princess is still waiting for me to serve her. I'd better go back and write a few more copies of this prescription and bring them to you for your review."

Liang Hongwen sat on the couch, crossed his legs, and said with a lazy smile: "Don't worry, there are many people serving in mother's room, I think you can do without one more, just write slowly here until you remember all the methods."
