The female boss of destiny, even villains have to work for me

Du Ran ordered all the guards in the palace to search the south of the city for two days, and finally found the liar's home, but it was already empty.

If this person leaves the city, it would be extremely difficult to find him again.

"Princess, I apologize to you!" When Liu Xihua saw Du Ran, he lowered his head as if he was confessing.

"Alas, this is not your fault. Nowadays, scammers are getting more and more rampant. They even dared to cheat this princess. It's okay to cheat a little money, but it will be terrible if they dare to cheat some people in the future! It should be said that the current government is too kind to these scammers, and the punishment is too light!" Du Ran patted Liu Xihua on the shoulder: "It doesn't matter, you can earn it back!"

Liu Xihua was so moved that he burst into tears.

"If any of you are successful in the future, first strike down the swindlers!" Du Ran said half-jokingly.

Du Ran returned to the room and his expression immediately fell. He wanted to cry but had no tears. That was more than one hundred taels of silver. How long would it take him to earn it back?

It seems that I have to squeeze a little more out of the palace to make up for my losses.

Then, she saw the painting on the wall and felt better.

"Doctor Liu, you have to get up from where you fell. You should go this time and have a good talk with the old couple to see if they are willing to sell the store to us." Du Ran assigned Liu Xihua another task, but this time Liu Xihua was obviously wilted and lacked self-confidence.

"Princess, please find someone else. I'm afraid I can't handle this important task."

"No, you have to come. If you can make it this time, I'll give you 20 taels of commission. How about that?"

Liu Xihua was moved and hesitated for a while: "My Lady Princess, since you still trust me, I will go again!"

Sure enough, no one can resist money...

The first time, Liu Xihua was turned down. The old couple made it clear that they would never sell the store. They would keep selling buns until they could no longer sell them. After all, their daughter's family was not rich, so any subsidy they could get was good.

The second time, Liu Xihua came with some fruits. The old couple did not chase him out based on the principle of not hitting someone who smiles at them, but they turned a deaf ear to what he said. Liu Xihua talked incessantly for a long time, but in return he just laughed himself out.

The third time, Liu Xihua said all the good things he could, and said that the shopkeeper's promise to give them two hundred taels of silver was enough for the couple's married daughter and nephew to live a good life. But the couple remained unmoved, saying that they had spent their hard-earned money wisely, and they did not want to use such ill-gotten gains.

Liu Xihua was stunned. Ill-gotten gains? It was obtained from selling the shop, not from stealing or robbing. How could it be considered ill-gotten gains? But that was the way people thought, and Liu Xihua had no way to change it. He could only sit at the back door of the restaurant and sulk.

"Brother Liu, is the store business not going well?" Yu Chengfeng asked.

Liu Xihua sighed: "I feel a bit unlucky now, nothing goes well for me. I almost choked to death when I drank a mouthful of water just now. I am a doctor. If I choke to death, I will not be able to face the King of Hell even if I become a ghost."

Yu Chengfeng smiled and said, "You still remember that you are a doctor. If that's the case, shouldn't things be easy to handle? And it can save a lot of trouble."

Liu Xihua was stunned, obviously not understanding what Yu Chengfeng meant: "Brother Yu, what do you mean by this?"

"The old couple are old, and both their bodies and minds are not working well. It is inevitable that there will be some problems with the buns they sell. In this way, there will definitely be a turning point." Yu Chengfeng said in a low voice beside Liu Xihua.

Liu Xihua immediately stood up and sternly refused: "Brother Yu, how can you do such a shameless thing? Although I am not a real miracle doctor, I have learned to be a doctor since I was a child. I can deal with some bad guys, but he is just an ordinary old man who is diligent and just wants to sell buns to earn some money for his children. How can we do such a dirty thing?"

"Brother Liu, don't elevate yourself to such a high level. The world of martial arts is full of intrigue and deception. Even on the battlefield, all is fair. Why do you want to make yourself miserable and look for trouble when something can be solved with a little trick?" Yu Chengfeng retorted harshly with his eyes narrowed.

Liu Xihua waved his hand and said, "Don't say any more. If you continue, your image will be ruined in my eyes. Some time ago, our restaurant was almost closed down by a villain who used a small trick. How long did it take for all of us to deal with it? We were so angry at that time that we wanted to curse the person who poisoned us every day. But now you want to use this method that you hate to punish others, and the old couple? I can't do it!"

Yu Chengfeng was too lazy to argue with Liu Xihua anymore, and said, "You can't survive in the martial arts world if you think you are noble! The martial arts world is a place where the strong prey on the weak and everyone is treacherous. Your compassion will hurt you sooner or later!"

"But this is not the Jianghu, this is Yuecheng, the royal palace, and a restaurant!" Liu Xihua yelled at Yu Chengfeng's departing back.

Liu Xihua, who was still angry, ran to the old couple's bun shop again.

Ever since Du Ran gave him this task, Liu Xihua has been competing with this bun shop. It doesn't matter if he fails a few times. He has become a regular customer of the bun shop and has breakfast and dinner here every day. The old couple deliberately ignores him, but he doesn't get angry. He eats buns leisurely and occasionally chats with the old people, even if he doesn't get a response.

It was another sleepless night, and Liu Xihua couldn't sleep.

"Xu Bingxia, why are these old couple so stubborn? Two hundred taels! They probably haven't earned so much money in their entire lives. They are so indifferent to the money that can ensure they have enough food and clothing?" Liu Xihua, who was lying on the ground, couldn't help complaining.

"Stop arguing. I have to sleep even if you don't!" Xu Bingxia turned over and said irritably, "The old couple just want some security, and the bun shop is their security! Giving them two hundred taels is a lot, but what if they spend it all at once?"

"What can you buy that can be spent all at once?" Liu Xihua sat up puzzled.

“I was cheated!”

"Xu Bingxia, you're not done yet, are you? The princess didn't say anything, but you keep mocking me by saying you were cheated. Is that fun?" Liu Xihua was unhappy.

Xu Bingxia was even more annoyed: "Who told you to stay up all night and not let me sleep! Besides, am I wrong? Two hundred taels is a lot. If you accidentally lose it or get cheated, won't you lose all your capital?"

Liu Xihua seemed to have suddenly realized something. He suddenly stood up and kissed Xu Bingxia on the forehead: "Xu Bingxia, you scolded me well!"

"Liu Xihua, are you crazy? Why did you kiss me? It's so disgusting! Don't forget, we are fake!" Xu Bingxia jumped off the bed and punched Liu Xihua.

Liu Xihua howled in pain, not daring to fight back. He could only hide while explaining: "When you scolded me, I thought of a good idea, and that's why I couldn't control my excitement! Stop hitting me, it hurts so much!"

"Are you using the excitement excuse again? I will definitely tell Brother Muzhou about the last time you excitedly shook the princess' hand when he comes back!"

"Please, don't tell him! Didn't I explain it to me? I was just excited at the moment! If you tell him, he will beat me to death!" Liu Xihua wailed and knelt down to beg for mercy.
