“Grandpa, don’t worry. I’ll definitely take good care of Yueyue,” Jiang Ying said.

Hearing Jiang Ying’s guarantee, Old Master Ning was much more relieved. He instructed Jiang Ying, “Alright, please take good care of Yueyue. Remember to be careful on the way.”

Hearing Old Master Ning’s tireless instructions, Jiang Ying’s heart warmed.

He smiled and replied to Old Master Ning, “Grandpa, I understand. We’ll be careful.”

Old Master Ning waved his hand. “Alright, go ahead.”

With that, Jiang Ying returned to Prince Jin’s residence and told Ning Yue, “Alright, I’ve told Grandpa.”

“Actually, I feel quite guilty when I think about it. Grandpa is already so old, but he still has to be deceived by me. As his granddaughter, I’m really insensible,” Ning Yue said with a bitter smile.

“Who said that you’re insensible? It’s precisely because you’re too sensible that you don’t want to tell Grandpa these things.” Jiang Ying comforted her.

Ning Yue sighed. Just as she was about to talk to Jiang Ying about the refugees, she suddenly remembered a detail. “By the way, Jiang Ying, I forgot to tell you something.”

“What is it?” Jiang Ying looked at her.

“It’s like this. I realized that there’s something very strange about the leader of the victims. How should I put it? If it were me, I wouldn’t send a fool like him out to help me get things done.”

She had just taken out the chair when the leader actually brought it up without thinking.

Wasn’t he doing this on purpose to make people scratch his sore spot?

What was his motive for doing this?

Ning Yue guessed that there were two possibilities for him to do this. The first was that he was really stupid, and the second was that he did it on purpose.

Ning Yue was more inclined to the second possibility, because according to her, she would definitely not send such a stupid person out to do things. What if he disrupted her entire plan?

Unless the leader’s master was as stupid as him.

However, since he could let the refugees in, it meant that this person was not simple. His intelligence and strategy were definitely not basic.

Ning Yue suddenly felt a little flustered. Lian Xin’s matter had yet to be resolved, and another huge problem had arrived.

For some reason, she kept thinking about the restaurant as she considered this.

The matter of the restaurant had to be dealt with. Otherwise, what if the shopkeeper realized that something was wrong and ran away in advance?

At the thought of this, Ning Yue said to Jiang Ying, “Come with me to the emperor’s restaurant later. Something will be happening there soon.” “What about the person you brought back?” Jiang Ying asked.

“Put him under house arrest in Prince Jin’s residence first. Apart from freedom, he can be given anything else he wants. He’s still useful,” Ning Yue said.

Jiang Ying nodded and instructed Uncle Su to send someone to guard him.

Although Uncle Su was very puzzled by Jiang Ying’s arrangements, as he was only a butler, he did not dare to question his master’s decision. Therefore, he went to do the task with doubts.

Ning Yue tidied up for a while, bandaged her wound, and brought Jiang Ying to the restaurant.

When they arrived at the restaurant, the shopkeeper immediately welcomed Ning Yue and Jiang Ying with a smile.

One of them was a butler and the other was the heir of a prince. His status was much higher than his, so he had to respect him.

“Greetings, heir. Greetings, Princess Mingyue. Are the two of you here to eat? We will reserve the superior-class seats for the two of you,” the shopkeeper said with a smile.

“Shopkeeper, do you have someone called Guang Yao in your shop?” Ning Yue asked.

Hearing Ning Yue’s question, the shopkeeper’s expression immediately changed and a trace of vigilance flashed across his eyes. This vigilance quickly disappeared. If Ning Yue had not been staring at the shopkeeper’s expression, she would not have seen it.

“Princess, did you hear wrongly? There’s no one called Guang Yao here, only Guan Rao,” the shopkeeper said.

Ning Yue frowned. “Maybe I heard wrongly. What is he doing in this restaurant?”

The shopkeeper smiled and said, “He’s my wife’s younger brother. I saw that he didn’t have a job, so I wanted to bring him here to work. He’s just an ordinary employee, and he’s quite professional. May I know why the princess is looking for him?”

“It’s nothing. Previously, I was shopping at the market and forgot to bring money. He saw it and lent it to me. I’m here to return the money now.” Ning Yue smiled and took out eight taels of silver.

When the shopkeeper saw the eight taels of silver, his frown deepened.. Why had he never heard Guang Yao mention lending money to others?
