Lory got intrigued by this 'exclusive contract' she raised her eyebrows at Zhao Li Xin with question looks but he just faintly smiled at her without answering, she not dare to probe further no matter how good he treated her she can't forget her position as his maid so she holds her tongue maybe someday Zhao Li Xin would explain it to her.

Downstairs the manager still smile amicably at Zhao Mu Fan make him feel he was being mocked "May your highness forgive this inconvenience situation, Phoenix Hall would give your highness the best roo in the second floor and you don't need to pay for anything inside Phoenix Hall for today, hope your highness could be magnanimous" the manager bow respectfully.

Even though the manager treat him politely but it's still not changed the fact he was being rejected and his word and tittle mean nothing for them, he feels so embarrassed he already could hear it people talked behind his back and not to mention there's also Lao Fei Yan, how could he keep his face.

"This...this still unforgivable, you dare to humiliate this crown prince. If I left people would think this Prince is easy to bully, this won't do" Zhao Mu Fan glared at the Manager.

Lory watches them from above "Seem like he still not content…."

"he'll never do" Zhao Li Xin sips his wine calmly.

Lao Fei Yan also angry with how they treated her and Zhao Mu Fan, never in her life anyone dares to against her especially after she becomes Crown Prince fiancée but this puny restaurant dares to humiliate her, how outrageous. Lao Min Na might not know about the existence 'Exclusive contract' but doesn't matter for her Royalty is above everyone.

"You just manager of a small restaurant, how dare you against the imperial family. Don't you afraid crown prince would kill you and all of your family even you arrogant Master!!" Lao Fei Yan can't hold her anger she threat them using crown prince name if this place like any other place they must be shiver to their bone but this is Hei Shen Sect turf if they regard the Imperial family they won't treat them like this in the first place.

The Manager almost laughs on the spot, kill his Master family doesn't mean they want to kill the whole Royal Family if that so their Lord would happily oblige "Ehm….Miss Lao might not understand about our 'Exclusive Contract'....." he emphasizes the last word while looking at Zhao Mu Fan with a meaningful gaze.

Zhao Mu Fan feels like he was being intimidated, he would not let himself backdown "The Contract is release by the emperor but it can be retracted again if it's necessary" he smirks at the Manager showing his victorious smiled.

"If that so.." The manager tilted his head casually "That time it was you who proposed the idea about the 'Exclusive Contract' your Kingdom even make us paid a lot of money to relief your Kingdom burden for returned we only asked one thing....one thing only, we only want no one to interfere our inside policy and yet...….after five years when you don't need us anymore, you want to dispose us" the manager acted like a pitiful victims and what he said stunned everyone.

Today not only Jiang Wei people who were here but there also people from other kingdoms because of the competition, all of them murmured to each other, they remembered heard rumor about devastating stated in Jiang Wei Kingdom five years ago because the lack of funds the rumor said the kingdom treasury has dried up because the royal family lavish lifestyle but then somehow The Kingdom could release themselves from the problem, everyone praised the Emperor but know it seems there something more about it, the word 'Exclusive Contract' already intrigue a few people there, it won't be surprised this news would spread to another kingdom like wildfire.

Zhao Mu Fan becomes anxious theirs nothing wrong about the contract because it's the agreement between two parties but still it's unethical and embarrassing. This agreement also showed how devastating the situation at that time some wiser officials knew this agreement could backfire at them but given the situation at that time, they had no choice.

The customer inside the Phoenix Hall restaurant watching Zhao Mu Fan with expectant they want to know what would he do will he yield or he fights but either way he still the on the wrong side. For Zhao Mu Fan he rather fights with them at least no one would see him as easy person he still can hold his head high, worst come to worst his Father Emperor would just reprimand him.

"I won't do that if I were you" suddenly someone enter the restaurant, the man is tall and handsome with noble air around him he wears white robes with gold dragon embroidery on his chest he is Zhao Yi Chen the third Prince, beside her a petite woman her face is delicate and so beautiful make man and woman looking at her with awe and envy, the woman is Lao Min Na. she wears soft purple hanfu make her look even more delicate and pure.

Zhao Mu Fan was dumbstruck by her beauty, she knew Lao Min Na is beautiful but lately he notice he become more and more beautiful every day especially combine with her cold and distant temperament she like a jade flower sculpture, Lao Fei Yan see Zhao Mu Fan expression she glared at Lao Min Na her eyes fill with envy and jealousy.

"Sister…." Lao Fei yan soft voice awakes Zhao Mu fan from his daze.

"Why are you with third Prince, where's your personal maid?" she asks innocently but her word entices other people to think differently, Lao Min Na coldly smiled she not surprised Lao Fei yan would try to ruin her reputation whenever the opportunity came, she already used to it.

"Lao First young miss you should not say something that can make people misunderstand" Zhao Yi Chen frown, he already has information the relationship between Lao Min nan ad Lao Fei Yan is not good but still it's shocked him when he heard it on his own "This Prince meet second Miss Lao outside the Restaurant this Prince heard about her accomplishment in the black forest so this prince invited Miss Lao to talk some more about it, you should mind your words first Miss" Zhao Yi Chen reprimand Lao Fei yan strongly in front of other people without hesitant.

Lao Fei Yan did not dare to rebuke since her opponent is the prince, she can only look down feeling so wrong. Zhao Mu Fan can't let this slide he already humiliated by a servant and know his own brother also not gives him face "Third Brother should mind Lao Fei Yan she still young, she doesn't mean what she said"

Zhao Yi Chen chuckle "Young, isn't she already sixteen years old this year, she already passes marriageable aged, isn't she would marry with elder brother this year?" he taunts her "It would be a problem if she still not learn to mind her words"

Other people could agree more, it's true Lao Fei Yan is old enough she's not ten years old girls who didn't know what to said, it was certain she said that deliberately, who knew Lao Fei Yan who have imaged as gentle and kind young lady can't be so vicious even to her own step sister.

Lao Min Na smiled innocently "It's fine third prince, my sister just worry about me" she said calmly "My personal maid was sick today I can't let her accompany me while she was sick do I, sadly I only have one servants that's why I had no choice to leave the Manor alone" she look embarrassed when she said it and got empathy from other people.

Her words told everyone how bad she was treated inside the Lao Manor, for noble family who only have one servant to served her what kinda life she had not to mention she is the Prime Minister daughter what kinda Father who let this happened to his owned Daughter, They also heard how kind she is treating her own servants it's just alleviated people opinion to Lao Min Na.

"I would never guess first miss Lao is like that" one of the onlooker comments.

"Lao second young Miss must have a hard life, even though she's so beautiful and kind and did you heard the third prince said, he said Lao Min Na doing great at the Black Forest, what a talented young Miss" another one adds in.

"I don't know what is prime Minister Lao thinking, having such a talented daughter like second Miss Lao should he feel blessed instead, If not because third prince explanation we would have misjudged Lao second Miss"

"Yes, that's true" more people nodded their heads.

Even though people said quietly a lot of people in this room have high cultivator so they can hear it clearly, Lao Fei yan feels someone just slapped her in the face she hated Lao Min Na, her hated for Lao Min Na just grew deeper than before she clenched her fist until her hands paled, Zhao Mu Fan also lost his words he wondering why today is so not auspicious for him.

Lao Min Na watch both two people who were the source of her misery she sneered at them, she can't believe there was a time she truly loved that despicable Man, she even almost gives everything to this pervert but no more she was a different woman than before she wouldn't let anyone take advantages of her, she will thrive she would stand so high not even Lao Fei Yan could touch her shadow.

"Third Prince about your reservation..." The manager cupped his fist.

"Say no more, this Prince understands the rule in Phoenix Hall" Zhao Yi Chen raised his hands.

The Manager bow slightly "Is not like that, the room on the third floor is ready would your highness like to come in"

Everyone stunned, what this supposed to mean why they reject crown prince but accept the third prince is this how the owner Phoenix Hall shows his favor, is the one of third prince supporter, more exciting news comes out they really can't wait to go home and tell their family about what happened especially noble family, these recent years the fight between Prince faction is getting harder more people need to pick their sides whether they like it or not.

Zhao Yi Chen frowned he doesn't know the owner of this place not liked he tries but everyone he sent to investigated this matter if not they returned empty-handed they all dead no matter how strong the people he was sent they all end up the same, Zhao Yi Chen conclude whoever owned this place is not someone he can trifle with.

Lao Min Na also frown she had her own suspicions who owned this place but she had no proved, she sees the shadow on the third floor's window, someone might occupy that room, she wondered if he was there? Watching her this whole time but why, isn't he told her he doesn't want anything from her?

"Your highness, pleased this way" the manager lead Zhao Yi Chen and Lao Min Na to the third floor, Zhao Mu Fan watch Zhao Yi Chen while gritted his teeth, it feels even worst when Lao Min Na follow Zhao Yi Chen without giving him a glance, his heart feels tight it's beating so fast he almost can hear it himself.

"We're leaving!!" he flicks his robes and left the restaurant with Lao Min Na and her entourage.

Lory who finishes her lunch awhile before watching the commotion from the window she even take stool so she can sit in front of the window and take a peek on it, she glanced at Zhao Li Xin "You really having fun with them aren't you?" she giggled, Zhao Li Xin just creating more rift between Zhao Mu Fan and Zhao Yi Chen and now he even adding Lao Min Na in the mixed.

Zhao Li Xin faintly smiles "It's more fun this way….." he sips his wine slowly.

"You drinking so much why haven't you drunk?" Lory stunned with so many wine jars left on the table.

'At least go the bathroom!!!'
