Reborn Empress: The World Originally Belonged to Her

"I would like to ask you why you sent someone to assassinate me at this time. I hope you can tell me now. If you don't, don't blame me for being impolite. My patience is limited."

Those around who heard this fell into deep thought, unsure of how to respond to the conversation.

At this moment, they were discussing this very matter with the person in front of them.

Then they told him that they knew they had made a mistake and hoped that he would spare their lives.

"Will I spare your lives? What I want to tell you is, have you spared my lives? I have already given you a chance, but you didn't want that chance. You've brought all this trouble upon yourselves."

At that moment, they had no idea what to say to the official in front of them. The only thing they knew for sure was that they were doomed, and that they had only themselves to blame for what they had done.

"Sir, we truly know we were wrong. Please spare our lives, sir. We promise we'll never do it again, but we will obey your every command from now on. Please, sir..."

In the end, Prime Minister Xu felt that it was better to have one less enemy than one more friend, and even if it was a friend with only mutual benefit, it didn't matter. So, Prime Minister Xu was willing to give them another chance.

"Since that's the case, then I agree to this matter. If there is a next time, I will definitely let you know what regret is."

The two chatted for a while, and the last of these people were willing to give all the money they had earned over the years to Prime Minister Xu.

In the end, Prime Minister Xu had already obtained some money, and he felt somewhat happy.

At first, I thought there was no way I would get the money, but I didn't expect to get it in the end.

"There is one more thing I want to tell you, which is also here. I will be leaving here in a few days and returning to the Forbidden City. I will then report the situation here to His Majesty. I hope that in the next few days you can compile all the accounts from these years, and I will hand them over to His Majesty."

The goal is simple: to get them to create a fake ledger here.

"Do not worry."

Everyone has been very busy these past few days, keeping these ledgers and checking all sorts of figures.

After the verification was completed, the ledger was handed over to Prime Minister Xu. Upon seeing their actions, Prime Minister Xu nodded in approval.

"I initially thought you wouldn't be able to complete it, but thankfully you have. Rest assured, I will definitely hand over all these accounts to His Majesty, and His Majesty will surely..."

Meanwhile, the people who had been secretly watching them decided to tell the princess about the blind date. They believed that once the princess knew, she would find a way to resolve the matter.

"I never expected them to do something like this here. It's really unbelievable to me. I just can't understand how they could set up such fake ledgers. Aren't they afraid that they'll be exposed later?"

"It's a strange coincidence that you and I have the same thought. I'm also wondering, aren't they afraid that these things will be discovered later? If it were me, I would definitely feel this kind of fear at this time, but they don't seem to be afraid at all."

The two of them were discussing these issues, and Mo Yun and Qin Yu were also dealing with matters related to the shop. However, after handling these matters, they still felt that something was amiss, namely, the shop's accounts didn't quite match up.

Qin Yu was carefully examining the situation when he unexpectedly discovered that a large sum of silver was missing. More importantly, he didn't know what they had done with the money.

"I've noticed that so much silver is missing here. I'm actually a little puzzled by this. Before, I thought there was no silver missing, but now it's gone. I'd really like to know why..."

They had been investigating this matter here, and at that moment, the shopkeeper was trembling with fear because he had used that sum of money.

He had been pondering whether or not to tell Qin Yu about this, but in the end, the shopkeeper had no choice but to tell Qin Yu directly.

"Your Highness, a while ago my family had this problem, and I had no choice but to use the money in the shop."

Qin Yu stared at the shopkeeper in front of him.

This shopkeeper has been working here for quite a while, probably four or five years now. Since that's the case, let's just use the money. Although this sum seems a bit large, but…

"I expect that next time you will tell me what you have done. If you dare to deceive me here, don't blame me for being impolite. After all, my patience is limited. I can forgive you once, but that doesn't mean I can forgive you a second time."

"Furthermore, Your Highness has forgiven me for what I have done. I promise I will never do such things again in the future. I will do my utmost to make up for all the money that is missing from the shop. I hope Your Highness can forgive me for what I have done this time."

After they finished dealing with all the matters in these shops, Qin Yu went to look at the other people.

Qin Yu looked at the waiters and then determined that they had all stolen money from the shop.
