Liu Duohui wanted to continue speaking, but Lin Ru's foot ground down hard, and her words instantly turned into painful groans.
Lin Ru sneered, "I think you've misunderstood."
"What I'm trying to say is not that I'm apologizing for killing someone."
"It's to apologize for not wiping out your Liu family back then."
"Since your Liu family is so principled, then I welcome you to fight me to the end."
"Liu Duohui! Consider this my first challenge to the Liu family."
After saying that, she raised the dagger in her hand and was about to slit Liu Duohui's throat.
Seeing this, Qian Duoduo quickly stopped them.
"Your Majesty, please show mercy!"
"Um... Goddess, please have mercy."
Lin Ru stopped what she was doing and raised an eyebrow.
"how?"
Qian Duoduo quickly said with a forced smile, "Um... please don't kill her yet, at least not here. If someone dies in my Linglong Pavilion, it will be a huge problem."
“There are many people around who are eyeing us covetously, wanting to steal our family’s business.”
"Linglong Pavilion is still very popular in Kyoto."
"However, most of the high-ranking officials and nobles in Kyoto are quite superstitious. If someone dies here, not only will the place be shut down and investigated, but those people will probably never come back."
"That would mean I'd earn significantly less money recently."
"You should also know just how expensive the items in this Linglong Pavilion are."
"So, why don't we go outside and kill them again?"
"To avoid polluting our floors."
"Cleaning the floor also costs a lot of money."
Liu Duohui initially thought that Qian Duoduo had a change of heart, which was why she stopped that bitch from killing her.
I never expected that Qian Duoduo was actually worried that she would stain the floor!
She was filled with despair, never expecting things to turn out this way. Her family had already disagreed with her plan, but she thought it was perfect. After all, this was the capital, and her shield was Princess Min, the king's daughter. No matter how arrogant this Lin was, he couldn't possibly teach someone else's daughter a lesson on someone else's turf.
If she actually does that, it will not only provoke public outrage, but she will also be branded as a peace-disrupting force.
If this man surnamed Lin truly cared about his reputation, he would never have attacked them in public. But unexpectedly, he not only attacked them but also tried to kill them to silence them.
If this news gets back to the Liu family, I wonder if they will seek revenge for her.
Probably not.
After all, it was just a woman who died, which was the least significant thing in their family's eyes.
It's a pity she didn't become her mother's proudest daughter.
Thinking of this, she closed her eyes sadly, preparing to quietly await the arrival of death.
But to everyone's surprise, this crazy woman listened to Qian Duoduo's advice and instead of killing her immediately, she tied her up and took Princess Min away.
Since learning Lin Ru's identity, Princess Min has remained as still as a quail, not uttering a single word.
She had seen her mother secretly weeping inside the palace, and after making inquiries, she learned what had happened the night before. So she decided to go out and buy some things for her mother to cheer her up, and then buy some things to visit her younger sister.
As a result, she ran into Liu Duohui as soon as she left the palace gate, and then followed her advice, and the two of them came to Linglong Pavilion together.
I never imagined things would develop to this point.
Looking at the two women who resembled two corpses, Lin Ru suddenly felt that killing them like this wouldn't be very fun.
And she didn't come here to kill anyone.
She hasn't had enough of Kyoto yet!
If we break off relations now, many things will become impossible to accomplish later.
It's a bit troublesome.
Although this little trouble was nothing to her, she wanted to avoid it if possible, so she said to Qian Duoduo, "Since you pleaded for me to release the two of them, then you should send someone to send them back separately."
"Oh, by the way, remember to tell their families that I was the one who hit them."
"He explained the whole story, from beginning to end."
"So that those people won't always think I'm bullying others, and then stand on their moral high ground to criticize me."
"I'm afraid I really wouldn't be able to control my urge to kill someone."
Qian Duoduo nodded quickly, then ordered his men to carry the two men away and send them back to their respective residences.
I gave them all detailed instructions and asked them to recount the entire course of events that day.
The main point is to emphasize the things Princess Min and Liu Duohui said to cause trouble.
Finally, they separated the bodies of their guards and followed the two men back to their home.
After the group had made their arrangements, Lin Ru asked, "Miss Qian! Do I need to pay for the things upstairs?"
"Please give me the specific price."
"I'll get you the money."
How could Qian Duoduo dare to take His Majesty's money? Every penny she earns now is for buying food and weapons for His Majesty.
Even if it were given to her, she wouldn't dare use it.
So she quickly waved her hand.
"Goddess, no need."
"Today's events were handled poorly by Linglong Pavilion."
"I'm so sorry."
"Everything you just bought will be given to you for free, including all the jewelry on the third floor, as an apology from Linglong Pavilion."
"Don't think it's too little."
When Manager Qi heard this, he gasped in shock.
Any piece of jewelry on the third floor is priceless; how could you just give it away like that, especially all the jewelry on the third floor?
Is my boss out of his mind?
Although this person is Her Majesty the Empress.
But this is Kyoto.
The king here is the Marquis of Zhenxi!
If those things were actually sent out, the Marquis of Zhenxi would become increasingly suspicious of the relationship between the two of them once he found out.
How will Linglong Pavilion continue to operate then?
However, this was a decision made by the young master, who was just a manager and naturally had no right to speak.
Lin Ru thought about it for a while and finally had someone take these things away. However, when she left, she took out a stack of silver notes from her bosom and stuffed them into Qian Duoduo's hand.
"I'll consider these things as money I paid for them."
"If it's too much, consider it as the cleaning fee I paid to Linglong Pavilion; if it's too little, consider it as an apology from Linglong Pavilion to me."
Qian Duoduo accepted the stack of silver notes with a look of surprise and delight.
Without even looking at it, he stuffed it into his arms.
"There are no fewer or fewer designated individuals."
"If you'd like to go somewhere else, I can accompany you."
“Many of these are my Qian family’s assets.”
"I can also tell you about the local customs and culture of Kyoto."
"To avoid those who are blind to the danger coming close."
