The Empress Kneels in Her Palace to Admit Her Mistakes After Slaying Her Ways in the Female-Oriented

The shop owner clearly saw the five books, and his face instantly filled with helplessness, despair, and a sense of collapse.

With such a big shot in the shop, his already struggling business is becoming even more financially strained!

Enraged, the shop owner picked up all five books, intending to throw them into the fire in a fit of rage, but...

After raising his hand, he had to put it down again.

I wouldn't dare!

Many people in Huai'an City have joined the Tongxin Alliance, which holds an extraordinary position in Yunjing. If he dares to touch these books today, he will soon face a great disaster.

"Why!"

In the end, the shop owner could only sigh helplessly, muttering under his breath as he vented his dissatisfaction with Xu Qin.

"What's written here is clearly nonsense and made up, but so many people still believe it."

"Just because it has the seal of the Tongxin Alliance printed on it?"

"Just because this was published by the official Yunjing government?"

As the shop owner spoke, he felt increasingly out of place in Yunjing. He had heard that the Duke from the imperial court was about to invade, and he was actually looking forward to the Duke's arrival.

Although the Tongxin Alliance had said long ago that the people from the imperial court were ruthless and heartless, born executioners, but... wasn't he in hell right now?

Perhaps in another hell, there will be a different scene.

Muttering to himself, the boss got to work again, his first concern naturally being the fine horse brought by the military officer, and secondly, there were other horses stored in the shop that also needed his careful attention.

However,

Because a major battle was imminent, many people who had left their horses here had not taken them with them, leaving him with a great deal of work. Before long, his old back could no longer take it.

panting.

As he struggled to get up and rubbed his back to ease the pain, he looked up and saw Xu Qin walking out of the room, clearly dressed up.

The dark circles under her eyes from staying up late reading were also covered up by rouge and powder, making her look a bit overdone.

The shop owner hadn't wanted to speak at first, but his body couldn't take it anymore, and he couldn't help but say, "Xu Qin, can't you see I'm busy?"

"There's so much work to be done in the shop, are you just going to stand there and watch?"

"I pay you a salary every month, and it's quite a lot. You can't just not do any work at all just because you joined the Alliance, can you?"

"What kind of logic is this?"

Xu Qin had been reading all night and felt refreshed and energetic, without even feeling tired from staying up all night. In addition, she was in a good mood because she was thinking about the good thing that was going to happen later.

The shop owner's accusation was like a bucket of cold water being poured over her head, instantly making her unhappy.

Did I say I wasn't going to work?

"But I have something to do right now."

"I have to go out for a bit."

"I'll do the work for you when I get back, so I won't take your salary for nothing."

The shop owner, barely containing his anger, said, "How many times have you gone out this month? There are only thirty days in a month, and you haven't moved for half a month."

"Is this how you do your job?"

Xu Qin immediately snorted coldly, "I'm leaving, and I'm in the right."

What do you think I'd go out for?

"This time, I'm going out on a blind date, you know?"

"I went out on a blind date!"

"I had to go out because of love, so what, you horse groom, you dare to stop my love life?"

"Have you forgotten that in Yunjing, falling in love is a perfectly natural thing to do!"

"Nothing is bigger than love!"

The shop owner was instantly rendered speechless, his anger simmering inside, and he almost coughed up blood.

Xu Qin, however, was quite pleased with herself.

Not only did he triumphantly criticize the shop owner, but he also wanted to add more weight to the shop owner's load.

"Hmph, let me tell you, the matchmaker who's going to set me up on this blind date is someone who just came to Yunjing not long ago. I heard she was the best matchmaker before, so this time, I'm sure I'll be able to find someone I like."

"He's charming, wealthy, and loves and cherishes me, ensuring I live a life of blissful happiness!"

"And then I'll ask you for leave!"

"Our Yunjing government has a rule that if you fall in love, you get nine months of leave, and you still have to pay my salary."

"Hmph, you'd better hurry up and prepare my salary, or if you can't pay it, I'll take you to the authorities!"

The shop owner, who had already gritted his teeth and swallowed his anger, exploded the moment he heard this.

It was like a desperate roar from someone facing utter despair, surrounded by darkness, and driven by unbearable oppression: "You?!"

"Still someone you like?"

"Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself?"

"You're already in your thirties. To call you 'past your prime' is an insult to a woman of your age. With looks like that, you think you can find a wealthy and charming man?"

"Keep dreaming!"

It has to be said that the shop owner's retort was quite powerful. Xu Qin, who had been calm, arrogant and in control of the situation just now, suddenly jumped up.

He jumped three feet high!

She yelled in a shrill voice, "Don't you have any taste?"

"Am I not good-looking enough?"

"I'm just a little chubby, but I have a very good constitution."

"If I lose a little weight, I'll be a great beauty, and countless princes and nobles will be begging to marry me."

"Hmph, you old bachelor, you don't understand love at all. No wonder you can only do rough work like tending horses. If you ask me, the government in Yunjing is too lenient. They actually allow someone like you who doesn't understand love to stay in Yunjing."

"You should be kicked out of Yunjing!"

Xu Qin read through all the books published by Tongxin Alliance, her words sharp and scathing, her insults cold, ruthless, and arrogant, making the shop owner's face turn pale.

She then snorted coldly again, turned and left, summoned a sedan chair to elevate her status, and soon arrived at a shop.

The shop was quite new, which perfectly matched the information Xu Qin had learned that the matchmaker had arrived in Yunjing six months ago, making Xu Qin even more hopeful.

She had met all the matchmakers in Huai'an City, but none of them recommended any suitable blind dates to her, which made her very upset.

This new matchmaker will surely give her a good result.

"Bang bang bang!"

Reach out and knock on the door.

After a long while, the door opened, revealing a middle-aged woman's face, full of astonishment: "Miss Xu, you, what brings you here?"

"You promised to help me with my blind date today, how could I not come?"

As the matchmaker spoke, she quickly pulled Xu Qin into the shop, saying, "Don't you know? Last night, our Huai'an city was in chaos, with soldiers fighting in the streets. It was a complete mess."

"I don't know what's going on in Huai'an City, yet you still dare to come out. You've got some nerve!"

Xu Qin immediately raised her head, like a proud little hen: "Pursuing love is always fraught with difficulties. Moreover, the good man I want must be domineering and doting on me. It's harder than with others, so naturally I need to be more determined."

"It's just a little commotion in Huai'an City, what's there to be afraid of? Even if the sky falls, nothing can stop me from pursuing my love!"
