After being reborn, I locked up all the scumbags and bitches in one nest.

Then Yu Ling stretched out her palm, gathered spiritual power in her palm, and then swept it over Liu Xichun's entire body.

Then she withdrew her hand and said to everyone with a smile, "This young lady does not have any white jade hairpins from Linglong Pavilion hidden on her."

Everyone was puzzled. "How did you know?"

Yu Ling smiled calmly, "Every piece of jewelry in Linglong Pavilion is carefully designed by our owner and meticulously crafted. Each piece is checked with spiritual power for flaws and is only sold after being confirmed to be flawless. So we can easily find out if you have any Linglong Pavilion items hidden on you."

Everyone suddenly realized that it was fortunate they hadn't had any malicious thoughts of stealing or cheating, otherwise they would have been extremely embarrassed.

Liu Xichun snorted and looked at Qin Mingzhu with a sneer, "I told you I didn't take it. Miss Qin and Miss Chen were so certain just now, so isn't the white jade hairpin actually on you?"

Chen Ying blushed and hurriedly retorted, "You're talking nonsense. If it's not on you, then we must have seen wrong."

Xie Xuanyun stared coldly at them, "Whether they are lying or not, Manager Yu can find out by investigating."

Chen Ying hesitated, but Qin Mingzhu didn't believe that this would reveal anything. She thought that the people from Linglong Pavilion were just saying this because they didn't dare to offend the future Crown Princess.

Without waiting for Qin Mingzhu and the others' consent, Yu Ling used her spiritual power to sense the situation, smiled slightly, and asked,

"Miss Qin, have you already paid the bill and are you ready to leave?"

Qin Mingzhu proudly raised her head and replied, "Yes, we've been shopping for a bit too long today. Let's come back another day."

After saying that, he turned to leave.

But Yu Ling continued, "But Miss Qin has one item that she hasn't paid for yet."

As soon as she finished speaking, the guards of Linglong Pavilion immediately stopped Qin Mingzhu and her entourage.

Li Jingchan turned around and glared angrily, "What does your Linglong Pavilion mean by this?"

Yu Ling's expression remained unchanged. "Miss Qin, if you forgot to pay the bill, it's not too late to do so now. Otherwise, it won't look good if we report it to the authorities and find out that the eldest daughter of the Right Prime Minister's mansion is involved in petty theft."

Enraged, Qin Mingzhu directly attacked Yu Ling.

However, that meager amount of spiritual power was insignificant in front of Yu Ling.

Yu Ling flicked her sleeve, bouncing back to Qin Mingzhu and taking out a white jade hairpin from her chest to show everyone. "This white jade hairpin wasn't on your bill. The Linglong Pavilion logo on it is unique."

When everyone saw the white jade hairpin in Yu Ling's hand, they instantly realized that this was clearly a case of the thief crying "stop thief!" and they all pointed at Qin Mingzhu and whispered among themselves.

Yu Ling stared at Qin Mingzhu, "Miss Qin, you stole someone before, and now you're stealing from my Linglong Pavilion. Is this the upbringing of the Right Prime Minister's residence? Could it be that the position of Right Prime Minister was also stolen?"

Suddenly, a burst of spiritual energy shot towards Yu Ling, shouting, "How dare you insult my Right Prime Minister's residence!"

Yu Ling dodged, and the attacker quickly appeared in front of her and struck her with a palm.

Lu Ling immediately pulled away from Yu Ling and met her palm strike.

With a "snap," the two stepped back and steadied themselves.

The guards at Linglong Pavilion had already received orders to direct the shop assistants and maids to move the goods to the side and back, so there wasn't much damage in the earlier clash.

After recognizing the attacker as Young Master Qin, Yu Ling questioned him sharply, "What does Young Master Qin mean by this?"

Upon seeing Qin Mingyu, Qin Mingzhu immediately called out in a wronged tone, "Big Brother~"

Qin Mingyu comforted Qin Mingzhu, then looked at Yu Ling and loudly retorted, "I haven't even asked you what you mean yet, how dare you insult my Right Prime Minister's residence."

Yu Ling showed no fear whatsoever. "What did Miss Qin do? Did she steal anything from Linglong Pavilion? You can ask everyone here. It's all witnessed. I didn't mean any insult. Young Master Qin attacked without even asking what happened, attempting to harm someone. He and Miss Qin are truly siblings!"

After realizing what had happened, Liu Xichun pointed at Qin Mingzhu and glared angrily, "Qin Mingzhu, Chen Ying, you shamelessly stole the treasures from Linglong Pavilion, yet you turn around and falsely accuse me; Young Master Qin even attacked and injured someone without distinguishing right from wrong. I will definitely tell my father when I get back, what does your Right Prime Minister's Mansion mean by this? Are you abusing your power to bully others?"

People around them pointed and whispered about Qin Mingzhu and her companions.

"Exactly, they think they can justify stealing."

"Not only do they steal, but they also frame people. The Right Prime Minister's residence is so great."

...

Hearing the sarcastic remarks from those around him, Qin Mingyu turned to look at Qin Mingzhu and the others.

Caught red-handed, Qin Mingzhu and the others lowered their heads, not daring to look Qin Mingyu in the eye.

Seeing the expressions on their faces, Qin Mingyu knew they were telling the truth. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and asked, "Mingzhu, what's going on?"

Qin Mingzhu stammered, "I...I don't know how that white jade hairpin ended up on me?"

Qin Mingyu looked at Yu Ling, "Is there some misunderstanding?"

Yu Ling looked coldly at Qin Mingyu, "There is no misunderstanding. Everyone saw with their own eyes that I took this from Miss Qin's chest. I also reminded Miss Qin not to forget to pay after taking the item."

Then, looking at the surrounding crowd, she said, "Our Linglong Pavilion trusts and respects everyone, and we believe that you are all civilized and upright people who would not do anything petty or despicable. If you take something and don't pay, what's the difference between that and robbery? Who would want to open their shop for business in the future?"

People around nodded in agreement, and more and more people began to discuss the topic, gathering in larger and larger groups.

Qin Mingyu didn't want the situation to escalate further, so he could only apologize first and try to calm things down as soon as possible. "Sorry, it was my sister who was being naughty. We'll pay for the white jade hairpin."

Yu Ling didn't want to waste time and affect business. "Young Master Qin, today is the first day of Linglong Pavilion's opening. Your Miss Qin is causing trouble like this, delaying so much business. How can Linglong Pavilion open its doors in the future?"

Qin Mingyu was annoyed by Qin Mingzhu's lack of understanding, but he apologized again with a helpless expression, "I'm really sorry, we will bear all the losses today."

Since he was willing to compensate, Yu Ling stopped there. "With Young Master Qin's promise of compensation, we will not pursue this matter further. Miss Qin, we hope this will not happen again, otherwise, the doors of Linglong Pavilion will never welcome you again."

Liu Xichun refused, saying, "I want Qin Mingzhu and the others to apologize to me right now."

Xie Xuanyun chimed in, "One should apologize for doing something wrong."

Qin Mingyu glared at Qin Mingzhu and the others with a warning look, "Apologize right now!"

Qin Mingzhu looked up at Qin Mingyu in disbelief.

Qin Mingyu was barely able to contain his anger. "Apologize now!"

Seeing Qin Mingyu's anger, Qin Mingzhu and the others could only apologize in a low voice, "I'm sorry."

Liu Xichun looked up at the ceiling. "Can't you hear me? You were so loud when you were slandering me, but now you're mute?"

Qin Mingzhu could only shout, "I'm sorry."

After saying that, she turned around, wiped her tears with one hand, pushed through the crowd with the other, and rushed out of Linglong Pavilion.

After seeing the instigator of the disturbance leave, Qin Wanyou and the others said their goodbyes and went home. Although Liu Xichun wouldn't have any complaints about Qin Wanyou, Qin Wanyou still apologized.

Yu Ling also calmed everyone down. Seeing that the excitement had subsided, some onlookers left and others continued strolling around.

When Qin Wanyou returned to the Prime Minister's residence, she saw the Qin family gathered in the front hall, with Qin Mingzhu leaning against Li Shi's arms, sobbing.

Upon seeing Qin Wanyou, Madam Li shouted, "Qin Er, how dare you collude with outsiders to bully your sister?"

The two spoiled brats glared at Qin Wanyou, saying, "That's right, she made our eldest sister cry."

Qin Wanyou laughed angrily, "I bullied my sister? Then next time, please have your younger brothers say that you were the ones who stole things and framed others."

Forehead,

The two spoiled brats choked.

Li immediately retorted, "Shut up! How dare you talk nonsense? How could Mingzhu steal anything?"

Qin Wanyou gave a mocking smile. "Whether I'm lying or not, you can ask my elder brother. In broad daylight, with the evidence caught red-handed, my sister ran away first after doing the wrong thing, leaving my elder brother and me behind, being pointed at and gossiped about, with people saying that the Right Prime Minister's Mansion abuses its power. Oh, and a reminder to Father: be prepared to be impeached at tomorrow's morning court session."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Qin Mingyu, holding the bill, walked angrily toward Qin Mingzhu.

There was a "pop" sound.
