Reborn Empress: The World Originally Belonged to Her

"No, it's just that I unexpectedly ran into the Prince on this street today."

When Yuan Jie uttered the words "Your Highness," Qin Yu naturally thought of Cheng Qixia. Unexpectedly, Xu Jiu encountered Cheng Qixia while strolling around the streets.

Then he led the maid to take Xu Jiu to rest, leaving Yuan Jie alone there.

"Did Cheng Qixia say anything today?"

"This prince seems to want to be with the princess..."

Then she whispered something in Qin Yu's ear. Qin Yu frowned, not expecting Xu Jiu to have some hostility towards Cheng Qixia. But so be it, it didn't really matter to Qin Yu.

On the other side, the people Qin Yu sent out to investigate have returned and told Qin Yu that one of the two groups was Cheng Qixia's, and the other was the Prime Minister's.

Qin Yu's face darkened, and he slammed his hand on the table. He never expected that these two would be so despicable and shameless, actually planning to assassinate Xu Jiu here. Xu Jiu had not provoked them, so why would they do such a thing?

Yuan Jie knelt down on the ground with a thud. "Please calm down, Your Highness. It's not worth ruining your health over someone like that."

"I know I just think they are too shameless. I don't know their intentions, but if anything happens to this princess, I will make them pay the price."

At this moment, Qin Yu made a decision: he would go to the Prince Yu's residence the next day.

Yuan Jie didn't know Qin Yu's intentions, but he still agreed and told Qin Yu to be careful from now on.

"My strength is evident here. This prince is delusional to think he can deal with me. Although I am a woman, my abilities are almost equal to those of the two men."

If that weren't the case, why would those members of the National Protection Army obey Qin Yu's orders?

What Qin Yu said was indeed quite reasonable.

"Your Highness, this Miss Lin has been at the Shadow Hall for several days. Shall I send someone to investigate...?"

Before he could finish speaking, Qin Yu shook her head, indicating that she didn't need to concern herself with Lin Ruohua's affairs and that she trusted Lin Ruohua to know what she was doing.

Inside the Shadow Hall, Lin Ruohua observed the Hall Master and noticed that his health had been deteriorating over the past few days. More importantly, the Hall Master was taking his medicine intermittently, which puzzled Lin Ruohua. She asked the Hall Master, "Why aren't you taking your medicine when you're unwell? What is your intention, Hall Master?"

"I just find this medicine a little bitter. Besides, as for me, I've already lived for so many years, so I don't think it's a big deal to weaken myself. Do you want me to live forever?"

Unexpectedly, Lin Ruohua didn't say a word. She just glanced at the Shadow Hall Master. For Lin Ruohua, she really hoped that the Shadow Hall Master could live. Although she and her son had little affection for each other, he was still related to her by blood.

"Master, you should take better care of your health. Otherwise, who will you entrust this vast Shadow Hall to?"

Unexpectedly, the leader of the Shadow Hall looked at Lin Ruohua, laughed a few times, and took out a jade pendant. "I'll give this jade pendant to you. Can you call me 'Mother'? After all, I know I've mistreated you all these years."

Lin Ruohua did not speak or accept the jade pendant. Instead, she brought over the bowl of medicine next to her and personally prepared it for the Shadow Hall Master. Afterward, she inquired about Mo Yun's affairs.

"As for the Hall Master, didn't you decide to hand over the Shadow Hall to Mo Yun? Do you still have that idea now?"

The Shadow Hall Master told Lin Ruohua that he did indeed have such an idea, because Mo Yun was the most outstanding disciple in the Shadow Hall. If the Shadow Hall were handed over to Mo Yun, he believed that under Mo Yun's leadership, the Shadow Hall would definitely continue to be glorious. Moreover, Mo Yun was very intelligent.

"Is Mo Yun really just an orphan?"

“When I found him, he was indeed just an orphan, but the jade pendant he was wearing and the patterns embroidered on the silk made me think that he was not an ordinary person.”

However, as for Mo Yun's true identity, the leader of the Shadow Hall had sent people to investigate, but they couldn't find any clues at all. It was as if someone was secretly hiding Mo Yun's identity, whether for protection or...

Lin Ruohua kept all the words of the Shadow Hall Master firmly in mind. However, what Lin Ruohua found somewhat unbelievable was that, as the daughter of the Shadow Hall Master, she had no intention of handing over the Shadow Hall to him.

"Aren't you going to ask me why I didn't hand over the Shadow Hall leadership to you? You are my daughter, and we are family. Logically and morally, I should hand over the Shadow Hall to you."

Lin Ruohua hadn't expected the Shadow Hall Master to be so clever as to guess what she was thinking. Then Lin Ruohua asked the Shadow Hall Master why he didn't do it this way.

"Do you know how many layers of influence the Shadow Hall has? I only hope that you can be an ordinary person and marry a good husband, not like your mother, who is just your mother. What I did in the past is still my mother..."

If she could do it all over again, she probably wouldn't want to take over Shadow Hall at all.

But there aren't that many things in this world that can be done again.

For some reason, Lin Ruohua suddenly felt a little sorry for his mother.

"mother……"

After a long while, Lin Ruohua finally called out, "Shadow Hall Master's wife, Shadow Hall Master." Upon hearing this one word, tears streamed down her face.

For some reason, at that moment, all the suffering seemed insignificant. The leader of the Shadow Hall simply hugged Lin Ruohua tightly and kept apologizing.

"Fortunately, you have grown up safely and peacefully."

This is what makes the Shadow Hall Master happy. At this time, the Shadow Hall Master also decided to visit Lin Ruohua's adoptive parents when he has time, because without them, how could Lin Ruohua be who she is today?
