After rebirth, the Queen of Madness has gone against the will of Heaven

Walking on the slightly damp grass, the cool morning breeze quickly cleared Meihong's mind. A thought flashed through her mind: Could it be that the person who visited the young lady's boudoir at night was... the King of Yan?

Mei Hong's eyes widened in shock at her own thoughts, but she quickly shook her head. "No way!" "The young lady isn't that kind of person. Besides, this is in the Yu Mansion. Even if that person is wild and unruly, he wouldn't dare to provoke the young lady, right?" "And the young lady's crush is the eldest prince. So, it's more likely that the person who visited her boudoir at night is the eldest prince."

But according to her observation, there is no way the eldest prince would do such a thing.

Mei Hong quickly denied her wild thoughts and went back to her room to rest.

Yu Qingli didn't come out of the room until the sun was high in the sky. Today she was wearing a light blue long dress that trailed on the ground. The bottom of the dress was embroidered with a few beautiful orchids in dark thread. She looked simple, elegant and refreshing.

After washing up, Yu Qingli walked towards the front hall.

Passing through the lush trees, Yu Qingli heard the chirping of birds overhead. She looked up and saw that the sky was clear and the wind was gentle, indicating that it was a good day!

Thinking about what might happen today, Yu Qingli felt a little heavy-hearted. She wondered how her father would react after what happened yesterday.

Sure enough, before she even reached the front hall, she ran into Jiang Bai who was rushing in.

Jiang Bai was dressed in a long green gown, and his usually steady steps were now a little flustered. Yu Qingli had never seen Jiang Bai like this before.

After seeing Yu Qingli coming towards him, Jiang Bai's face was obviously relieved. He took a few big steps forward and blocked Yu Qingli's way.

"Miss, you are finally up."

Seeing Jiang Bai's anxious expression, Yu Qingli felt something was amiss. Could it be that her father's actions had already begun? Yet, she still knew nothing.

Her beautiful eyes turned cold, but her tone was calm, "Why are you so panicked? Let me finish my breakfast and we'll talk later."

"Miss, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for you to finish your breakfast. Please follow me."

Jiang Bai looked respectful, but there was a hint of calculation in his lowered eyes. However, it was obvious that Yu Qingli did not miss it. Her beautiful eyes closed slightly, and soon opened again, with an extremely bright look in them.

"Okay, I'll trouble you, Butler Jiang, to lead the way."

Jiang Bai was a little surprised that Yu Qingli agreed so readily. He looked up at Yu Qingli, then quickly lowered his head again. For some reason, he always felt that the young lady seemed very different from before. If he didn't see the young lady every day, he would almost think that the young lady in front of him was an imposter.

The young lady used to be gentle and elegant, and her whole body exuded the virtuousness that a lady from a noble family should have. But now, although she is still gentle and elegant, she is vaguely domineering and cold, even more so than the master.

I really don’t know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing?

Walking through the front hall and towards the entrance hall, Yu Qingli felt a little uneasy and asked, "Butler Jiang, has something happened?"

Jiang Bai, however, didn't seem to intend to tell the truth and simply responded, "You'll know when you get there, Miss."

Yu Qingli paused. From the tone of her voice, it was obvious that someone had set a trap for her to fall into. Going there rashly without any preparation would be a dangerous move, right?

Hearing the footsteps behind him gradually stop, Jiang Bai quickly turned around, "Miss?"

Yu Qingli stared at Jiang Bai intently, but didn't move forward. The gentle breeze brushed across her face, spreading the smile on her face. "Butler Jiang, is it something unspeakable? If you don't explain it clearly, and I go over there like this and make a fool of myself, wouldn't that be embarrassing for my father?"

The coldness in his eyes grew deeper, and the gaze that stared at Jiang Bai inexplicably gave rise to a sense of superiority and majesty, which made Jiang Bai involuntarily take two steps back, vaguely startled in his heart.

How could this young lady be so majestic?!

Jiang Bai thought about it for a moment. The master didn't instruct the young lady not to know about this matter. Besides, they all had to know it. Even if they knew it now, it wouldn't cause any trouble.

In a moment, he had thought it through clearly. "It's like this. The master heard that the young lady's shops are doing very well, and he intends to hand over the management of the other shops in the Yu Mansion to you. Today, it's time to introduce the shop owners to the young lady."

This statement was quite high-sounding, but Yu Qingli already understood something in her heart. She thought that Yu Zhengsha was going to hand over the mess in his hands to her.

Murong Yanhui was right. She was worried that Yu Zhengsha would not be willing to let her interfere in the Yu family's business in Jiangnan. Now, she could take over with good reason.

There was a hint of joy in his heart, but his brows were furrowed. "Butler Jiang, what are you talking about? Father has always been in charge of the Yu Mansion's business. Why are you suddenly trying to push it onto me? I'm just an unmarried girl. Helping my mother run the shop is already overwhelming. How can I take over my father's shop? Aren't you trying to embarrass me?"

Yu Qingli paused, then turned to leave.

Jiang Bai quickly stepped forward to block her path, "Miss, please don't embarrass me. Since the master has already made the decision, then you should just accept it."

"No, I can't go. Go back and tell my father that Qingli knows her own limitations and doesn't dare to get involved in the Yu family's business..."

"Miss, there's no need to belittle yourself. Besides, I'm just a messenger. If you really want to refuse, you might as well tell the master yourself."

Jiang Bai had a stubborn look on his face, but he was secretly trying to figure out in his heart whether Yu Qingli was really refusing or was just being polite?

"Butler Jiang..."

Yu Qingli looked troubled, with no trace of joy between her brows. It seemed as if she really thought this matter was a trouble.

Jiang Bai fell to his knees with a thud. "Miss, if you don't go, I won't be able to explain to the master, right? Miss, you are always kind-hearted. I believe you won't continue to embarrass me, right?"

Yu Qingli sighed deeply, then stepped forward to help Jiang Bai. "Butler Jiang, fine, I'll go with you, but I won't take over these shops. I'll explain this to my father in person."

Jiang Bai then stood up from the ground and walked towards the hallway with Yu Qingli.

The sound of birdsong and flowers along the way is a good sign!

Before I even entered the hall, I heard the noise.

"Prime Minister, what do you think we should do? The losses in our shop are so severe, where are we going to get the money from?"

"Is it your family that suffered the most? We have also suffered heavy losses!"

"Yes, yes, those thieves are so cruel. They robbed the shop completely and even took away my outer robe. Prime Minister, please help me deal with this!"

"..."

Amidst the chatter, Yu Zhengsha's voice was nowhere to be heard. Yu Qingli seemed a little frightened and said to Jiang Bai, "Butler Jiang, has something serious happened? It's not appropriate for me to go, is it?"

"What's inappropriate about that? The master specifically asked Miss to go there, so of course he has his reasons. Miss, don't worry."

Seeing that Yu Qingli seemed to be retreating, Jiang Bai took a step back and blocked Yu Qingli's way. Yu Qingli took a deep breath and her face calmed down a little, but she was still a little nervous and pale, probably because she was too worried.

A pair of bare hands gently pushed open the tightly closed vermilion door. Yu Qingli stood there as gracefully as a magnolia, attracting everyone's attention. The quarreling stopped abruptly!

Her beautiful eyes glanced around, but quickly lowered again. Yu Qingli politely saluted everyone present, "Father, how are you? Hello, uncles!"

I really didn't expect that in addition to the shop owner, there were also some uncles and aunts in the room. Some of these people were officials in the court, and they were quite surprised after seeing Yu Qingli.

After scanning Yu Qingli with doubtful eyes, he turned to Yu Zhengsha who was standing beside him, only to see Yu Zhengsha said seriously: "Qingli, come in."

Yu Qingli looked hesitant, but finally walked in slowly. Then she stood aside politely and remained silent, looking like a well-behaved daughter.

Yu Zhengsha coughed lightly, and his serious gaze swept across the faces of everyone present, making people feel a little fear for no reason. Suddenly, the noisy voices disappeared, and everyone was waiting for Yu Zhengsha to speak.

"Now that everyone is here, I can now explain the purpose of gathering you all here today."

After waiting for half the night, Yu Zhengsha finally spoke slowly and everyone opened their eyes wide, afraid of missing any expression from Yu Zhengsha.

"I guess you all have suffered heavy losses in the past two days!" Yu Zhengsha continued, but glanced at Yu Qingli vaguely. Yu Qingli still stood aside dignifiedly, calm and elegant.

"Yes, Prime Minister, we're not crying poor here, but the losses we've suffered over the past two days are truly heartbreaking, and we're also a little worried. As long as those thieves aren't eliminated, our shop won't be safe!"

"Don't worry, everyone. I called you here today to resolve this matter. I've already found someone who can help you restore your shop. With her around, you don't have to worry about those bandits coming back."

Everyone started to whisper to each other, and someone asked, "Who is the person the Prime Minister is talking about?"

"My daughter, Yu Qingli!"

When Yu Zhengsha said this, everyone was in an uproar. After all this commotion, was Yu Zhengsha kidding them? A young girl who hadn't even left the boudoir, let alone doing business, would probably have to ask the maid to go shopping!

Looking at Yu Qingli again, she still had a calm expression on her face, as if everything that was happening before her had nothing to do with her. Although her face was so calm, her heart was already churning. Her father really wanted to put all the blame on her.
