The mistress was reborn and broke off the engagement, the regent cried and begged to marry into the

at this time.

A little maid reported: "Miss, Miss Wei has recovered and is here to see you."

Shangguan Haitong nodded.

Huanshuang walked to the door: "Let her in. You go down first."

The thin and petite Wei Lingbo entered the room nervously, knelt down tremblingly and kowtowed: "Greetings to the young lady."

"Get up." Shangguan Haitong put down the comb, "Look up. I'm not a female Rakshasa, I can't eat you."

Wei Lingbo stood up and looked up cautiously.

Huan Shuang said in surprise: "What a pretty little girl."

Shangguan Haitong smiled: "Do you like it? I'll follow you to do things in the future. She's weak, so you need to keep an eye on her."

"Yes, girl." Huanshuang smiled and went over to hold the little girl's hand.

Wei Lingbo was a little scared, but he didn't dare to move. His brother said that only if he was obedient could he stay.

Huan Shuang pinched the little girl's face: "You are too thin. From now on, you will serve the girl together with me. Do you understand?"

"I know." Wei Lingbo nodded firmly. She wanted to stay and didn't want to go back and be sold.

"So good." Huanshuang touched the little girl's head. Take good care of yourself, and you will be a beauty when you grow up.

Wei Lingbo shrank his neck and behaved stiffly.

Huan Shuang stood up and walked out with the little girl: "I'll take you to change clothes."

She went out, and the little maid waiting at the door came in to comb her master's hair.

Wei Lingbo put on new clothes. Huanshuang taught her how to bow, walk and sit properly.

The little girl tried hard to learn, but it didn't go as planned. She coughed slightly and her body couldn't bear the strain.

Huan Shuang patted the little girl's shoulder and said earnestly: "First take care of your body, then you can serve the young lady well. There is no need to be stubborn."

"Yes." Wei Lingbo learned on the spot and bowed.

"Well done." Huan Shuang asked someone to take the little girl back to rest. She is young, so take it slow.

in the afternoon.

Shangguan Haitong checked the account books. With two major events happening in succession, the government was indeed running out of money.

She closed the account book and decided to go to the store tomorrow to check on the business situation.

The next morning.

Shangguan Haitong got up early, had his meal, and then took a carriage to inspect the shops.

The shopkeeper welcomes you and presents you with the account book.

Having been a housekeeper for many years, she could tell something was wrong. I'm afraid the store has two accounts, one for external use and one for internal use.

Shangguan Haitong walked out of the shop calmly, then called a servant and told him to watch carefully.

Huan Shuang asked in surprise, "Miss, does Madam know that they are doing this? They are so bold."

Shangguan Haitong knew her mother's personality. She thought, "I'm afraid it's someone else."

After checking several stores in succession, I found that the account books of those with good business had more or less problems.

Those with poor business are obviously not running their business properly.

Shangguan Haitong frowned, no wonder nothing was found during the house search and exile in the previous life.

"Miss." Huan Shuang exclaimed outside, "It's the prince and the two young masters of the Wei family. Do you want to go and say hello?"

Shangguan Haitong lifted the car curtain and saw three people walking into the teahouse.

She lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then stood up and said, "I haven't thanked you for your help yesterday. Let's go."

"Yes." Huanshuang said excitedly.

The carriage stopped in front of the teahouse. The waiter greeted us warmly.

Shangguan Haitong put on a veil hat.

Huan Shuang helped her master get out of the car: "Are the young master of the Wei family and the prince in there?"

"Yes, yes, it's in the private room on the second floor. I'll take you two up right away." The waiter led the way.

Shangguan Haitong and Huanshuang lifted their skirts and went upstairs.

No. 1 private room.

The waiter knocked on the door and said, "Gentlemen, there is a girl looking for you."

The servant opened the door.

When Wei Jingyan saw the person coming, she spoke first: "It's Miss Shangguan. Please come in."

The waiter left.

Shangguan Haitong walked in and bowed: "Thank you for your help yesterday. Haitong came here to express his gratitude."

"You're welcome. Please take a seat, Miss Shangguan." Wei Yuyou made way.

Huanshuang took off the veil for her master, and went outside with the servant and closed the door.

Shangguan Haitong went over and sat down, glancing at Xie Qiuguang who was sitting opposite him. The other party seemed to be in a bad mood today.

Wei Yuyou poured a cup of tea and placed it on the table: "Miss Shangguan, do you know that Mr. Li Ba is still imprisoned in the palace?"

Slightly surprised, Shangguan Haitong looked puzzled: "Didn't the Marquis' Mansion take him back?"

Shaking his head, Wei Jingyan smiled happily: "I guess he feels ashamed and doesn't want to recognize him. Lock him up for ten days or half a month and see if he dares to be arrogant again. The prince tied him up and locked him in the woodshed, and has not given him any food or water so far. Miss Shangguan, are you relieved?"

"It's refreshing." Shangguan Haitong smiled politely and took a sip of tea.

The Marquis' Mansion has not sent anyone to pick him up, and the prince is in a very difficult situation.

If they are really detained for ten days or half a month, it will become a hot potato. It would be a disadvantage to release them or drive them away.

Wei Yuyou talked to his grandfather and was also worried about this development. In any case, they were already involved, so it was better to keep things quiet.

He looked at Xie Qiuguang: "In my opinion, we should release him earlier. It's not a good idea to keep dragging it on."

"Why let him go? Don't you know who Li Xizu is, brother?" Wei Jingyan said unhappily.

To outsiders, Shangguan Haitong is a sixteen-year-old girl who should be innocent and naive.

She put down the teacup and smiled, "Yes. What can the prince's mansion do if he is locked up? Can the marquis' mansion dare to report him to the emperor?"

Wei Jingyan’s eyes widened when he heard this.

He finally realized and scratched his head: "It seems that he really can't be locked up all the time. This will cause trouble for the prince. He is such a nuisance, why can't he be left alone? I will throw him in front of the door of the Marquis' Mansion later."

Xie Qiuguang kept looking out the window with his teacup in hand, ignoring these comments.

Miss Shangguan looked at him as soon as she came in, which was really stressful. He hadn't thought of the words to refuse yet, what should he do?

Wei Yuyou saw that the person was still daydreaming, so he patted his shoulder and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

"Nothing." Xie Qiuguang came back to his senses, but he was looking at the table and the cup instead of the beauty opposite him.

Shangguan Haitong stated his purpose: "I am very grateful for your help. Do you have any wishes? I will try my best to make them come true."

"Wish?" This stumped Wei Jingyan. "Does it count if I want to pick the stars in the sky?"

Wei Yuyou quickly bumped into his brother, "Do you know what politeness is? Is that something a human can do?"

Lowering his head, Wei Jingyan curled his lips. Didn't he ask about his wishes? He did.

Shangguan Haitong looked directly at the person opposite him: "What about the prince? Do you have any special wishes?"

She was willing to repay the kindness of both lives, so that they would owe each other nothing from now on.

Xie Qiuguang stared at the tea leaves in the cup and said, "Miss Shangguan, you're welcome. It's just a small favor."

Wei Yuyou noticed something was wrong and pulled his younger brother to get out.

Unfortunately, the simple Wei Jingyan didn’t understand and continued to be upset while twisting his body.

Wei Yuyou simply grabbed his ignorant brother and pulled him out first.

The door opened and closed again, leaving only two people in the room.

Shangguan Haitong felt much more relaxed and smiled, "I will feel at ease only if I repay a favor. It's just a small favor for you, but it's like a new life for me. Please give me a chance to repay this favor, Your Majesty."

Xie Qiuguang shook his head: "It's just a small matter, no need to pay it back."

Shangguan Haitong insisted with a firm attitude: "I don't like to owe favors to others."
