This was something Kang Keren had never expected. She had been thinking about how to deal with this matter all the way, hoping that Gu Yunru had not received the news for the time being.

"Qingfeng, why are you here?"

Kang Keren pretended to be calm and walked in front of Qingfeng. Looking at his eyes, Qingfeng looked carefree and smiled lazily. He sat aside and poured himself a cup of tea. He smiled at her and said, "Miss Kang, I didn't expect you to have such a hidden trick."

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"You don't know what I'm talking about, do you? Then how do you explain these account books?"

After saying that, he threw out all the account books he had found in the backyard. These were the account books that had not been destroyed in time. Kang Keren took a deep breath and almost couldn't catch his breath.

"I have had someone investigate and found that you have purchased several private houses in the suburbs of Beijing under your name and sold them to merchants in the city at high prices to make a profit. With all these accounts, I'm sure you must have made a lot of money."

Qingfeng looked at Kang Keren's expression, which changed from innocent to guilty and flustered. It seemed that he really did these things, otherwise, he would not have revealed his flaws.

"Qingfeng... have you told the princess about all these things?" Kang Keren asked nervously. Seeing that Keren House was in a mess after being searched, she thought that this must be the princess's intention, otherwise Qingfeng would not have come to Keren House on his own initiative to search these account books.

"Not yet. They are going to congratulate Shu'er tonight. I don't want to spoil their fun. Do you want to go by yourself, or should I tell the princess about these things?"

"I will go by myself and take full responsibility for my mistake." Kang Keren stood in front of Qingfeng, looking very reserved.

"Okay, since that's the case, I'll leave it at that. It's up to you what to do next." After Qingfeng said that, he took his men away, leaving Kang Keren alone with a lonely and cold back.

After Liu saw the man walking away, he quickly ran to her side. He couldn't bear to watch all these things being exposed.

"What should the second shopkeeper do? If the first boss finds out, will he kick us out?"

"No." Kang Keren said these two words almost firmly. Liu was confused. Wouldn't the boss drive them out of the city according to his temper? This time, he swallowed up so many accounts, and it was not as simple as a few thousand taels.

"But..." Liu was still a little worried. Kang Keren gave him a warning look and said, "You are also involved in this matter. From the moment the matter has not been concluded, you are not allowed to panic. Do you understand?"

"Understood."

Liu lowered his head, his mind was a mess.

That night, Kang Keren came to the palace to apologize to Gu Yunru. Gu Yunru had not received Qingfeng's news at first. Seeing her suddenly burst into tears, she came to her and cried about the evidence of her crimes with a confused and surprised look on her face.

"What is going on?" Gu Yunru looked at her actions in disbelief and hurriedly helped him up.

"Yun Ru...I really didn't do it on purpose. I admit that I did have some selfish motives. I swallowed up so much debt, but it was also for my own future."

Kang Keren's eyes were red, and she looked so charming that people felt pity for her.

"Get up first and let's talk about what happened." Gu Yunru looked at her kneeling on the ground and refused to get up, as if she had committed a heinous crime.

"Yunru, you have to forgive me, you must forgive me, I didn't do those things on purpose..." Kang Keren cried and shrugged her shoulders, making people look as if she had suffered some great injustice.

Seeing that she was still stubborn, Gu Yunru simply knelt down in front of her and said, "Let's talk face to face. This should be ok now. Tell me what happened first."

"Yun Ru...what are you doing?"

"Of course I let you get up." Gu Yunru rolled her eyes helplessly. She had been crying for a long time, as if she was building up her mental strength.

"Yun Ru, there is a reason why Keren House and other shops have lost so much money innocently."

Kang Keren bit her lips tightly to prepare herself mentally. Gu Yunru understood what happened after hearing this. It seemed that Kang Keren understood what had happened during this period of time.

"Did someone embezzle the money?" Gu Yunru knew that the people under his command were not honest, but he never expected that it was Kang Keren. She confessed the crime, and Gu Yunru suddenly realized it.

"Why are you doing this?" Gu Yunru didn't understand her behavior at all and silently let go of her hand. Kang Keren wiped the tears from her face and said innocently, "I just don't accept it in my heart. Seeing that you have made so much money, I also want to try to do some business, so I saved some capital, but found that it is far from enough.

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

So I had to embezzle the accounts to fill the hole, but I found that I didn't have the business acumen like you, and the losses were getting bigger and bigger, so I had to start with the monthly profits. I know it's really stupid for me to do this, but I really didn't do it on purpose. Can you believe me?"

Kang Keren's tears were real, and her words were so touching that Gu Yunru couldn't bear to blame her for a moment, so she wiped her tears and said, "If you have any difficulties, you should tell me. If you have any ideas, I can also invest for you, but you can't deduct the monthly profits privately.

No wonder I always felt something was wrong with the account book this year."

Now the truth has come to light. She never expected that it was difficult to guard against thieves in her own home no matter how hard she tried. It was actually done by Kang Keren, whom she trusted.

"Yun Ru, I'm sorry. I will return all the money to you. I...I don't want the interest every month. I will return it all to you, okay?"

She was moved by Kang Keren's sincere repentance, and Gu Yunru sighed helplessly.

"Well, since you have realized your mistake, I won't say anything to you. But I hope this won't happen again next time. If you have any difficulties, you should tell me first."

"Okay, thank you, Yunru, you are my best friend!" Kang Keren shed tears of excitement and hugged her in her arms. Qingfeng, who was standing outside the yard, witnessed this scene. He frowned slightly, feeling that there was something wrong with this matter.

Kang Keren left the mansion and Qingfeng saw her out.

The two of them were speechless along the way. Kang Keren looked at his fiery gaze that always lingered on her, burning her face. She couldn't help but turn her head and said innocently, "Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?"
