Chapter 243

"Then it's settled?"

Qi Yuyan took out the account book and tore up the three thousand taels of silver that had been recorded for the Prince of Qin's dinner that day, right in front of her.

"This will give people a clue," Yun Xiyue said, dissatisfied.

He didn't say anything, but had someone bring paper, pen, ink, and inkstone, and had someone make a new copy of the account book, burning the old one directly.

Seeing this, Yun Xiyue understood that he could easily make a new copy at any time, so she wasn't worried about him breaking his promise.

Once this is over, it won't matter anymore.

"Come to the Colosseum tomorrow, or I'll come pick you up."

Yun Xiyue quickly replied, "I will go to the arena."

"Alright! Don't stand me up."

After leaving Fu Rui Lou, Yun Xi Yue sent a message to Princess Qin.

I saw the page of the ledger that had been torn out.

My son's name was written on it.

Xiao Rongrong panicked and quickly burned the paper, "Granny, did you go to see Xiyue?"

Granny Zhen knelt down and said, "Your Highness, please calm down! It's not convenient for you to get involved in this matter, and you have no way to persuade the Qi family to destroy the account books."

"Only Miss Yun is the most suitable to come forward, and she has dealings with Young Master Qi. They have dined together at Fu Rui Lou several times."

Sure enough, she made the right bet; Yun Xiyue was indeed very capable.

Xiao Rongrong sighed, "But this way we'll owe her even more favors."

"In the future, the Yun family will have many opportunities to ask for the help of the Prince and Princess. The Princess can repay Miss Yun's kindness in the future. It is also profitable for her to help you."

Xiao Rongrong felt uncomfortable. "Granny, don't say that about Xiyue. If she really had something to gain, she wouldn't have done it secretly. She even had to destroy the account book for me. She kept it all to herself. She didn't even know me back then, yet she saved me and Xiaoyueya. That's enough to show that she's different from others."

"Don't compare her to those greedy people."

Granny Zhen quickly shut her mouth and stopped saying such things. "Now that there is no evidence, even if the old princess and the others insist on it, there are no account books in Fu Rui Lou, and Young Master Qi does not admit that the expenses were paid by the heir, so there is no need to worry anymore."

"Yes, go to the Yun residence again and find out the truth. Simply erasing the account books won't do; the Qi family also needs to stop taking advantage of our misfortune."

Granny Zhen nodded. "The Prince will be back soon, then the Princess won't have to worry anymore. When the Prince returns, these demons and monsters won't dare to act so recklessly."

Xiao Rongrong breathed a sigh of relief and looked down at her daughter in her arms. "Mmm."

......

"Sneaking around like that, where did they go?"

As soon as I relaxed inside, I heard a cold voice behind me.

Yun Xiyue was startled and turned around, bumping into the man's hard chest.

"Why is the emperor here?"

"I can't come?"

Of course not.

Yun Xiyue tried to back away but was tightly held by the man's arm. "Doctor Lian is dead, and then Shen Yue's two sons were almost bitten to death by a pack of rabid dogs."

"Isn't this too much of a coincidence?"

Yun Xiyue instinctively tensed up and didn't dare to move. "I don't know. I'm very sad about Uncle Lian's death. I haven't left the house for the past few days."

“It’s my fault that Uncle Lian was killed. If it weren’t for me asking him to testify in the palace, he wouldn’t have been murdered.” Her voice choked, and her eyes were moist and slightly red, making her look incredibly pitiful.

"News came this morning that Shen Yue's youngest son did not survive and has died. His eldest son also contracted rabies after being bitten by a rabid dog and is unable to live like a normal person."

"They really are ruthless."

Yun Xiyue's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, and she struggled to get out of his arms. "Then, if Uncle Lian was murdered, the perpetrator wasn't ruthless?"

"I didn't say anything about you, why are you in such a hurry?" the man said with a smile.

Yun Xiyue clenched her fists, raised her eyes to meet the man's gaze directly, and asked, "If I did it, Your Majesty... what would you do?"
