The cake was prepared, Song Wanyue was ready, and Gu Yi personally took it back to his house and put it in his house.

He kept a small portion of the jelly and pudding, and asked Xiaosi to send the rest to others.

After Doctor Yao finished taking the pulse of the old man, he spoke with him for a while and looked outside. After Gu Yi came back from the capital, he said that Song Wanyue opened a pastry shop there, specializing in birthday cakes. He wanted to eat it at that time, but Song Wanyue had been doing too much and had no time to cook it for him, and he could finally eat it in his mouth today.

Xiao Si entered the yard.

Dr. Yao saw it at first sight and his eyes lit up, "Is the cake ready?"

"It's been done long ago. The young master took it back to his house. This is jelly and pudding. The young master asked me to send some to the old man."

As she replied, Xiao Si had already walked into the house.

When she was in the capital, Song Wanyue made it once. The old man missed it after eating it. Now he finally got it again, and he was very happy.

Dr. Yao was unhappy, grabbed a pudding, picked up a small spoon, dug a large piece into his mouth like anger, muttering vaguely, "Young Master isn't afraid of suffocating such a big cake by himself?"

"What did you say?"

Xiao Si vaguely heard the word "Young Master" and didn't hear anything else clearly.

Dr. Yao gave him a fierce look, "I didn't say anything!"

Thinking that there was nothing good to say, Xiao Si simply stopped asking and went to send jelly and pudding to Meng and the others.

In the kitchen, Song Wanyue prepared twelve dishes, most of which were loved by Gu Yi.

Gu Yi smiled and went to burn the fire.

Song Wanyue glanced at him and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.

The food was ready and brought to the dining room. Dr. Yao and the old man came over and smelled the fragrance from a distance. Dr. Yao's depressed mood improved a little. When he came into the dining room, he saw the dishes on the table, and his heart blossomed.

Meng and others were in a good mood when they smelled the aroma of the food. They ate a lot. During this period, they asked about Gu Yi Restaurant. When they heard that there was nothing big, they didn't ask again.

...

In the dark and wet prison, Manager Wei sat leaning against the wall, his eyes slightly closed.

The sound of footsteps came from the other end of the cell and stopped at the door of his cell.

Manager Wei opened his eyes.

The prison head opened the door and looked at him sympathetically, "Shopkeeper Wei, I'm in court!"

Manager Wei subconsciously looked at the only small window in the cell, and the outside was pitch black.

"Stop looking..."

The prisoner lowered his voice and could tell that the matter in the restaurant was a frame-up, but they were slight and could not help him.

"It's not the master, it's the third prince."

Manager Wei was stunned.

The prison head sympathized with him even more, but there was no way, "You come out and follow me."

Manager Wei stood up and walked out with the prison head. The light in his eyes disappeared with the flashing of the oil lamp, and his hand touched the pill in the cuff.

The prison head took him to the door of the torture room and opened the door and let him in.

Inside, the third prince sat with a veil covering his mouth and nose, watched him come in, took away the veil, leaned casually on the back of the chair, and looked at Manager Wei.

Manager Wei looked at him calmly

After a long time, the third prince smiled proudly, "You are all secrets and you actually asked you to be the shopkeeper of a restaurant. If I had known you had such a loophole, I would not have to spend the previous efforts."

"I don't understand what you said."

Manager Wei spoke, his voice a little hoarse.

I was afraid that the third prince's people would be poisoned, and he has not been touched for most of the day since he came in.

"Wei Ning, please stop pretending to be stupid. I went to the Prince Qin Mansion a lot back then. I have seen you once or twice!"

Manager Wei was in a panic, "Your words made me confused. The young man started working as a shopkeeper since the restaurant opened. It has been more than ten years. Everyone in Qingping County knows that he has never left Qingping County. In addition, the young man is not called Wei Ning, but the young man is called Wei family. The "family" that starts a family is given to me by my mother when I was born. I hope that when I grow up, I will inherit the incense at home."

"Pret! Go ahead!"

The third prince is five years older than Gu Yi. He did go to the Prince Qin Mansion when he was a child. Not only him, but also the eldest and second princes.

However, he was still young at that time and was disdainful of the servants of the Prince's Mansion. He had no idea who Wei Ning was or what Duke Qi told him that he was just a fraud!

"The young people didn't pretend, but the young people really haven't left Qingping County. If you don't believe it, you can ask the guests who often go to restaurants and drink."

"I don't have that spare time."

Hearing his claim, Manager Wei looked up instantly, "You, are you the third prince?"

The third prince snorted coldly,

"Wei Ning, if you are tactful, just explain your identity as your master. I can save you a life, otherwise..."

He pointed to all the torture instruments in the house, "You will experience these all this tonight."

"Send your life to the third prince!"

Manager Wei knelt down, and cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

The third prince curled his lips, what about the old man who served in the royal palace? He was still afraid of death!

"My master is Gu Qian, who is a famous rich man in Qingping County. He has countless property, he..."

The third prince went down the corner, "Shut up!"

Manager Wei closed his mouth in panic and his body shook violently.

"Wei Ning, I'll give you another chance. Do you want to say it or not?"

"Say, say what..."

Manager Wei's body was also shaking, and he looked at the torture instrument on the side with his eyes, looking very scared.

The third prince stood up, walked up to him and squatted down, staring at his eyes, "Gu Yi is the son of the king, right?"

Manager Wei's eyes were filled with fear of torture instruments, and his teeth were trembling, "What did you say, I don't understand."

The third prince saw nothing in his eyes, and was impatient, and stood up, "Since you don't want to eat the punishment for the toast, I will satisfy you."

After saying that, two guards walked in.

Manager Wei's eyes widened in horror, "The matter has not been investigated yet, you can't torture me!"

"Terror!"

Several yamen runners stood outside the torture room and heard the miserable screams of Manager Wei. They couldn't bear it and stood farther apart.

One of them whispered,

"This won't work. If a person is beaten to death, Mr. Gu will not give up. We sir..."

"What's the use of telling the adults? Can he come to save Manager Wei?"

"Maybe, if Manager Wei is really beaten to death, we have to follow him."

"Then, why don't I go and report to the master."

"Go quickly, go quickly!"

A yamen runs to report.

The county magistrate was sitting in the room and sighing.

The county magistrate's wife also sighed, "Tell me, why are you so unlucky? It's time to get the assessment, but..."

The sound of footsteps appeared in the yard.

The county magistrate felt nervous when he heard this. Before he could ask, the butler's panic sound rang in the yard, "Master, Manager Wei was tortured by the third prince's men!"
