Reborn Empress: The World Originally Belonged to Her

"I'm fine, so don't worry too much. Alright, come with me for a stroll. I'm quite curious to see what interesting things are available at the market recently."

When Qin Yu arrived at the market, she suddenly remembered something very important: she hadn't visited her shop in a long time and wondered how it was doing.

Qin Yu then went directly to a restaurant, which he owned. Unexpectedly, the restaurant was very quiet.

When the shopkeeper and waiter saw Qin Yu return, they hurriedly went to him and bowed. "Excuse me, we are quite surprised that you have come here in person today."

"I want to know how this restaurant suddenly became like this, what could be the reason?"

Upon hearing Qin Yu's words, they immediately told him that there was a restaurant next door that had copied their dishes.

More importantly, they are still falsely accusing them, which has resulted in very few customers coming to their restaurant.

Qin Yu decided to go next door to take a look herself.

When Qin Yu took a look next door, he found that this restaurant was indeed very similar to his own.

The waiter saw Qin Yu arrive and naturally smiled. "Miss, we don't know where you'd like to sit, so how about we have a private room on the second floor? What do you think?"

Qin Yu nodded slightly, and then went to the private room on the second floor to sit with Mo Yun.

When their menu arrived, Qin Yu examined it carefully and discovered that the dishes on the menu were exactly the same as theirs.

At this moment, Qin Yu only ordered a few signature dishes. Unexpectedly, after taking a bite of the dishes, Qin Yu found that the taste was inferior to that of the dishes in their restaurant.

However, Qin Yu and Mo Yun still ate here.

Qin Yu didn't say a word the whole time. When it came time to pay the bill, the waiter walked right up to Qin Yu and said that it would cost one hundred taels of silver.

Qin Yu was shocked at that moment. He never expected that it would cost one hundred taels of silver. It was unbelievable. Then Qin Yu turned his attention to him.

"Are you sure it costs a hundred taels of silver these days? You probably saw me dressed in such finery and now you want to see me here. Miss, do you know my true identity?"

When Qin Yu said that, the person in front of her was in a state of confusion for a moment. She looked Qin Yu up and down, thinking that he was just an ordinary person.

Qin Yu paid only a normal amount of money and then planned to leave.

Unexpectedly, several burly men arrived nearby. These men walked directly up to Qin Yu, intending to force him to hand over all the money. Qin Yu felt he should teach them a lesson.

Qin Yu finally managed to rush up to them and knocked them all to the ground. The waiter and the shopkeeper were both terrified by Qin Yu's sudden outburst.

As luck would have it, Leng Xiucheng arrived at this restaurant and indeed heard some commotion. He wanted to see who dared to cause trouble in his restaurant.

When Leng Xiucheng opened the door to the private room, he did see Qin Yu. For a moment, he felt a little incredulous. Why was Qin Yu in this place with so many people? Logically speaking, Qin Yu shouldn't be...

"I never expected that you people would be selling such expensive items here, and you even stole my shop's menu and have been using it ever since. It's really unbelievable to me."

Qin Yu said angrily.

Those around, upon hearing the words "I am the Empress," wondered if the woman before them could be the female demon. The female demon they were referring to was undoubtedly Qin Yu. At this moment, fine beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads.

They were terrified. They knew they shouldn't have charged so much money here; how could this happen...?

"What exactly happened? I've only been away from the shop for a few days, how come it's turned into this state?"

Leng Xiucheng immediately turned his gaze to them, and upon hearing his words, they all scrambled to their feet, dusted themselves off, and looked pitiful as they walked behind him.

"Young Master Leng, you must stand up for us! This young lady here is not only refusing to pay her meal but also trying to dine and dash! We all want..."

"A free meal?"

Without hesitation, Qin Yu took the menu and pointed to the prices on it in front of everyone. Even though it was only a dozen or so taels of silver, he insisted on charging Qin Yu one hundred taels of silver.

"I was thinking that I should hurry up and investigate the accounts now, to avoid you ending up here..."

Before Qin Yu could finish speaking, Leng Xiucheng kicked the shopkeeper, never expecting that this man would actually charge Qin Yu one hundred taels of silver here.

Leng Xiucheng then personally apologized to Qin Yu, acknowledging that the whole affair was indeed their fault.

Qin Yu simply snorted and then left.

"What exactly are you planning to do, and why are you raising prices now? What is the reason behind this?"

They all knelt down on the ground with a thud, and told Leng Xiucheng about copying Xu Jinxin's restaurant menu.

Ultimately, Leng Xiucheng went directly to verify Qin Yu's claim, and with Leng Xiucheng's verification, Qin Yu's restaurant naturally improved.

But here in the capital, they were all saying, "I never imagined that Her Highness the Princess would open a restaurant; I knew absolutely nothing about it."

“Not only are you completely unaware of this matter, but I am equally ignorant as well. I am also quite curious as to why Her Highness would open a restaurant.”

They were all talking at once.
