After becoming rich overnight, I handed over the system.

Chapter 113 sequel

"Thank you, Brother Qin, and please thank the young master for me too!" Li Mingyue slowly tidied up the shop that had been smashed.

Qin Da probably sensed that Li Mingyue was in a bad mood, so he quietly helped her tidy up.

"Where are the people who smashed the shop?" The officials arrived late.

"Mother, sister! Are you alright?" Chun Ya and Cao Ya rushed back with the officials in a panic.

"We're fine!" Li Mingyue patted the two girls' heads and told them to go and keep Mingyue's mother company.

"Reporting to you, sir! Those people ran away! But I still remember what they looked like!" Li Mingyue was indignant and wanted the officers to arrest those scoundrels.

"Then tell me, why didn't those people smash other people's shops, but instead came to smash yours? What grudge do you have against them?" a fat constable asked.

"Your Honor, I am merely a pastry maker and have not offended anyone. Only the owner of that pastry shop, Manager Liu, asked me to sell him a recipe a few days ago, which I refused. Apart from him, I have no grudges against anyone else. Please, Your Honor, investigate thoroughly!"

"Manager Liu from the pastry shop? I've heard he's not that kind of person!" The fat officer tried to brush it off as soon as he heard it was this person, since Manager Liu usually gave them quite a lot of money.

"Alright, I see you have no evidence. Let's leave it at that. As for those scoundrels, we'll go and arrest them!" The fat official was getting impatient. They had been here for so long, and this young woman hadn't even served them a cup of hot tea. She was still expecting them to help her arrest people.

"You!" Li Mingyue protested.

"Is this how you handle cases!" Qin Da, who was standing to the side, finally understood. It turned out that Miss Li was running a small business when someone took a fancy to her recipe. She refused to give it to them, so the other party hired thugs to vandalize her shop.

These officials are still showing favoritism towards others, and Qin Da couldn't help but speak up.

"Who do you think you are? How dare you interfere with our yamen's handling of cases?" The fat officer already disliked Li Mingyue for being tactless, and now someone dared to jump out and criticize their handling of the case.

"Me?" Qin Da immediately showed the Qin King's Mansion token.

"The Prince of Qin's residence?" The portly official, after a moment of surprise, immediately said obsequiously, "My lord, I was mistaken. We'll arrest those scoundrels right away!"

Then he turned to Li Mingyue with a smile and said, "Young lady, I would like to invite you to the yamen to participate in the trial of the case later!"

“Miss Li will go!” Qin Da answered for her.

"That's good, that's good. Then we brothers will take our leave. Come on, brothers, let's go and arrest those scoundrels!"

Seeing the officials leave, Li Mingyue bowed to Qin Da and said, "Thank you very much for your help today, Brother Qin!"

Qin Da quickly waved his hand: "Miss Li, there's no need to be so polite. After all, you are the young master's savior. However, I'm afraid that Manager Liu will not let this go so easily. Miss Li, you should be careful in the future."

Qin Da thought to himself that he should mention Miss Li to the young master when he got back.

Li Mingyue nodded. "I know. But I will never give the prescription to that kind of person."

Manager Liu is the kind of person who wants to get her recipes for free. Dream on!

Qin Da nodded, but advised her to be more careful, and then left the house deed and banknotes before departing.

Li Mingyue once again felt the power of authority. Qin Da simply flashed his token, and the officials immediately changed their attitude. Moreover, it turned out that the nobleman was from the Qin Prince's mansion.

Without mentioning Li Lao Er's return, the family burst into tears again, and then Li Mingyue's mother suddenly fainted.

"Your wife was suddenly startled and momentarily relaxed, which caused her to faint." After the doctor examined her, Li Mingyue and her family breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then please prescribe some medicine for my mother, doctor!" Li Mingyue felt even more resentful towards Manager Liu and those scoundrels when she heard that her mother was frightened.

"Then I'll prescribe some calming soup and medicine to help the fetus in my womb stay stable!"

"A fetus in her womb? My mother is pregnant!" Li Mingyue was overjoyed. The Rejuvenation Pill she had tricked her mother into taking had cured her mother's health so quickly?

Indeed, after they arrived in Jiqing Prefecture, they had a stable place to live, no longer had to do hard labor, and ate better than before they fled the famine. The whole family had gained some weight.

After a day of fright, Li Mingyue was pleasantly surprised.

The news of her mother's pregnancy dispelled the gloom in everyone's hearts caused by the shop being vandalized, and it was considered good news.

After returning to his residence, Qin Da went to report the matter to the Crown Prince.

"Li Mingyue?"

"Yes, Your Highness, the girl who offered the medicine back then!"

Prince Qin initially wanted to say that he had already given the other party money, but then he thought of the medicine that Li Mingyue had offered and changed his story.

"Since we've run into her, let's look out for her. It's never easy for a woman to do business!"

"Did your shop reopen later? Were those scoundrels caught? Was it that Manager Liu who was behind it all?"

Lin Liu played with the porcelain sculpture that Li Mingyue had given her, while listening to her tell her about recent events.

"Yes, I reopened it later. Thanks to Prince Qin's connections, those scoundrels were caught that very day, and they even implicated Manager Liu. The prefect has already ordered Manager Liu to compensate me for my losses and has given him twenty lashes. As for those ruffians, they were immediately imprisoned. And the shop has become much busier."

What Li Mingyue didn't say was that once word got out about her connection to the Prince of Qin's mansion, her shop was packed with customers every day.

Of course, she reciprocated by sending a portion of the pastries from her shop to the Prince of Qin's residence.

But looking at Chunxing, who greeted her with a smile and called her Miss Li, she couldn't feel happy. She vividly remembered how she denied her relationship with the prefect that day. Even though Li Mingyue knew that she really had no relationship with the prefect, she still found it hard to accept.

"Miss Li, how did you come to know Prince Qin? He even sent someone to look after you?"

When Chunxing inquired, Li Mingyue simply smiled faintly and replied, "She was just lucky to know the young master. He's kind-hearted, which is why he came to take care of her."

Chunxing pouted in disbelief, but there was nothing she could do. Her young mistress had instructed her to find out the truth, so she could only keep flattering Li Mingyue.

Li Mingyue would simply smile and let it go if she didn't want to answer.

"By the way, Sister Liuyi. Is it okay if I give this to everyone?" Li Mingyue was a little nervous, as this was the first time she had given everyone a gift.

With some extra money in the shop, plus the five hundred taels given by Guard Qin, Li Mingyue quickly went to have gifts made, as she felt she had owed everyone for a long time.

Especially the immortal, who was able to survive thanks to the elixir she gave him, and also managed to save a benefactor along the way.

"Yes, it looks nice. It's a token of your affection."

Lin Liuyi nodded approvingly. The porcelain sculptures were actually made according to each person's likeness, which was quite a special gift. Li Mingyue had finally made progress.
