"So, my daughter believes that Qin Yan must have hidden some of the things that originally belonged to mother."

Emperor Xia frowned deeply. He felt that his biological daughter seemed to have grown a little crooked.

It has to be said that the numbers on the first account book were quite exciting even for an emperor like him.

But it's just a feeling, I won't really do anything.

And Ye Liuwei's words were obviously a bit ugly.

"So, what you mean is that Yan'er deliberately deceived the king?"

Emperor Xia's majestic gaze fell on Ye Liuwei.

If you deceive the emperor, it is an absolute capital crime.

Since ancient times, deceiving the emperor would implicate all nine generations of the clan!

"Your Highness, Second Princess, I don't seem to have offended you, why do you want to frame me and slander me like this?"

Qin Yan glanced at her and bowed to Emperor Xia.

"Father, you must be clear-headed. I have never lied to you. There are twelve shops left by my mother, with two thousand taels of silver. Over the past ten years, I have been working diligently, which is why I have developed these businesses to such a level. It is impossible for me to lie to you! It is impossible for me to hide anything!"

Even though Concubine Liu really liked some gadgets and liked to tinker with some shops back then.

But she entered the palace after all, and her father was only an eighth-rank official and could not give her much support.

Being able to leave twelve shops and two thousand taels of silver to Qin Yan was really a lot.

At the very least, many ordinary people will never be able to earn that much in their entire lifetime.

Of course, these things are not much for the queen and other noble ladies.

But it was also because of this that the original owner was able to get all these things in his hands, and no one took them away with any excuse.

"If you don't believe me, you can check it out. All the things my mother left behind must be recorded."

Since these were things left behind by the imperial concubines, they must have been counted when Concubine Liu died.

You can find this out by just searching.

After listening to Qin Yan's words, Emperor Xia's expression improved slightly.

The voice spoke gently.

"Of course I trust you about this matter, Yan'er, please get up."

What to check?

There is no need to check this.

He is not a fool. You know, although the numbers on the first account book are shocking and enviable, in fact, what Qin Yan gave to Ye Liuwei is really a lot.

The tax revenue of their entire Great Xia Kingdom is only about 100,000 taels a year.

There are only twelve shops, and in more than ten years they can generate almost a year's worth of tax revenue for a country. Isn't that enough?

Qin Yan definitely gave too much.

Thinking of this, Emperor Xia's eyes fell on Ye Liuwei again, and he said with dissatisfaction: "Wei'er, I know you are very dissatisfied with the fact that I have been exiled to the outside of the palace for these years, but this is not Yan'er's fault. You can't slander others casually, understand?"

"Do you know how much tax revenue the entire Great Xia Kingdom collects each year?"

"There are only twelve shops here, with two thousand taels of silver. In just a dozen years, we have accumulated about one hundred thousand taels of silver, and there are six more shops. This is already amazing."

“If you really don’t understand and are ignorant, then read more books and learn more!”

He is now somewhat disappointed with Ye Liuwei.

She may be uneducated, unskilled in business, or not very smart.

However, the most basic kindness and bottom line are still necessary.

If she gave up her kindness, conscience and bottom line just for the sake of money, then this daughter would be completely useless...

Emperor Xia’s words were already very serious.

Ye Liuwei finally reacted at this time.

His little face turned pale with fear and he fell to his knees with a thud.

"Father, that's not what I meant. I just had a little doubt, but I didn't mean to slander Showa."

Her eyes fell on Qin Yan, her face still showing some frustration and dissatisfaction, but the words she spoke were full of apology.

“Showa, I really didn’t mean that. I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have doubted you. I just think that your mother must have given you a lot, so you can develop so much. After all, I didn’t know that information at the beginning.”

"We are sisters. I'm sure you won't hold it against me over these little misunderstandings, right?"

The so-called crime of deceiving the emperor and casual slander were simply treated as a small misunderstanding by Ye Liuwei.

Because she didn't know, she said the wrong thing.

Tsk tsk, how shameless!

Qin Yan couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

I really want to make some more sarcastic remarks.

However, when she thought about the reward for the extra task, she decided to go with the flow. Otherwise, it would be bad if Emperor Xia got angry and took back all the shops she wanted to give to Ye Liuwei.

In that case, it would be impossible for her to complete the extra tasks.

After all, Ye Liuwei was punished for saying the wrong thing and having vicious thoughts, but her title of business genius was not destroyed!

Qin Yan suddenly had an epiphany.

So, the biggest change and difficulty of this so-called extra task is actually herself, right?

If she couldn't help but step on Ye Liuwei to death, there would be no follow-up.

Well, so, she just had to make do with it and endure it for a while...

Thinking of this, Qin Yan smiled widely, looking extremely bright and friendly.

But for some reason, Ye Liuwei always felt a chill down her spine when she saw her expression.

But now she didn't have time to think too much. If Qin Yan could expose this matter, then this matter would be over.

Otherwise, she felt that she might not even have those 18 shops and more than 100,000 taels of silver...

Although, she didn't know why, she always felt that all those rich properties should belong to her.

That's why she lost control of her emotions when she saw that she could only get so little.

But now she has calmed down.

Of course, I have to say something good.

In her opinion, since she had already bowed her head, Qin Yan certainly wouldn't care.

Otherwise, she would definitely be known as petty in front of her father.

"The Second Princess is right. We are sisters. Although we are not biological sisters, we are related. We are both princesses of the royal family. Naturally, I will not argue with you."

Qin Yan smiled slightly and looked at Emperor Xia: "Father, this is just a small misunderstanding. It has nothing to do with my daughter. Maybe it's just that the difference in wealth is too big, so the second princess lost her composure for a moment. She must have no bad intentions."
