After being reborn, I stole the female lead's cheat ability and raised the empress.

Chapter 192 Jin Yu Man Tang is in trouble again.

"So you deliberately let them come over to show your feelings?"

"Not entirely. The main thing is that we two have a lot to do for our wedding—but after this incident, they do know that I have no defenses against them. Who wouldn't want a life of wealth and luxury without having to worry about losing their head? Why would someone want to die young like an emperor?"

Looking at Zhao Jihua, he quickly slapped his mouth shut: "Pah, pah, pah! I wasn't talking about you. My Ahhua is the longest-living woman in the world!"

He quickly changed the subject: "Now it's those old ministers who are clinging to the rules of their ancestors, but they don't realize that times are changing and the way to govern the country should also change."

Zhao Jihua walked to the window and looked at the palace walls outside. "I will create a new era, an unprecedented golden age."

Nangong Jing watched her retreating figure and said, "Your Majesty has such lofty ambitions, and I am willing to do everything in my power to assist you."

Zhao Jihua turned around, his eyes full of expectation: "Ah Jing, from today onwards, we are in the same boat. This world depends on us to hold it up together."

"Your subject will give his life for you!" Nangong Jing knelt on one knee and solemnly promised.

Zhao Jihua quickly helped him up: "A-Jing! We are husband and wife, one. You mustn't be so distant in the future!"

When Nangong Jing heard the other party say that they were husband and wife, he was so happy that his tail was practically wagging in the sky, and he hugged Zhao Jihua tightly.

"Stop fooling around, let's deal with the political affairs of the past two weeks first." Zhao Jihua sat down at the desk.

Nangong Jing quickly sat down to the side, moved a stack of memorials over, opened the top one, and said while making revisions, "Okay, I'll do it too, to share some of the burden."

However, when he finished revising one book and looked at Zhao Jihua, he found that she had already finished revising a whole stack and placed it next to him.

"ah??!"

He gave him the look of a slacker looking at a top student, full of disbelief: "So fast? Did you really finish reading it?"

"It's alright. When you look at it, just focus on the key information, think about past success stories and compare them with the current situation, and summarize what can be learned and what needs to be changed. You'll be able to give a reply quickly."

"??!!!"

“Look,” Zhao Jihua said, seeing that he still had doubts, she picked up a memorial, opened it, and pointed to a section: “Look, this is the crux of the problem. You just need to think about the parts related to this, and you can draw a conclusion instantly. Then that’s all.” She picked up her pen and wrote down her reply.

"Wow! I knew it, Ahua, you were born for this job, you're amazing!" Nangong Jing looked at her with admiration.

"It's very simple. You'll get the hang of it after a few tries."

This is like saying to a novice about advanced technology, "It's simple, you'll understand it at a glance."

"No, no, no, Ah Hua, I believe more in the fact that everyone has their own talents."

Zhao Jihua laughed and said, "Indeed, for example, you are much better than me at winning people over. I still have to rely on benefits to persuade them, but you can attract a large number of people just by your personal charm."

Nangong Jing smiled meaningfully and lifted Zhao Jihua's chin: "Ahua~ Your husband is best at warming the bed..."

……

On the other side, Xia Li was about to go find Yu Yang when she discovered that...

Yu Yang has disappeared again.

How awful!

Why is it that Sister Zhao has achieved success in both love and career, spending her days indulging in all sorts of frivolous activities?

My boyfriend either died or I lost him right after we started dating?

However, she quickly recovered from her depression.

Because the Black Moon brings news: Jin Yu Man Tang has encountered trouble again.

She rushed to Jin Yu Man Tang.

As soon as Xia Li stepped into the shop, she sensed that the atmosphere was a little strange.

The men looked flustered and whispered among themselves, but fell silent as soon as she entered.

The shopkeeper, pale-faced, hurried forward and said in a trembling voice:

"Master, something terrible has happened. Yesterday, several distinguished guests came and took a liking to some priceless jade pieces in the innermost private room on the third floor. They paid a deposit on the spot and agreed to pick them up today. But last night, those jade pieces vanished without a trace!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Li felt a wave of dizziness. These jade artifacts were the shop's prized possessions, priceless treasures. Losing them would not only incur a huge penalty for breach of contract, but that wasn't the main concern.

The main problem is that it will cause "Jin Yu Man Tang's" reputation to plummet!

She suppressed her emotions and calmly said, "Don't panic, let's check and see what's going on."

Xia Li immediately gathered all the employees and asked them about the events of the previous night.

However, everyone said they did not find anything unusual.

It's so annoying. I wish we had a security camera like we do now.

Xia Li frowned, pacing back and forth in the shop, pondering possible clues.

Suddenly, she noticed that the window of the storeroom where the jade artifacts were stored was half-open, and there were some strange footprints on the window.

Xia Li's heart skipped a beat; it seemed the thief had sneaked into the storeroom through the window to steal the jade.

She followed the footprints, only to find that they circled around the Golden Jade Hall and eventually returned to the door of the private room on the third floor.

!!!

They've been tricked!

Just then, a commotion arose at the entrance of Jin Yu Man Tang.

Her heart tightened, and she had a vague sense of foreboding. She quickly walked towards the store entrance.

At the entrance of Jin Yu Man Tang, a group of people stood menacingly. The leader was a burly, middle-aged man with a fierce face. He stood with his hands on his hips, his face full of anger. Behind him were several burly followers. It was clear that they were up to no good.

Xia Li inwardly groaned. She had already guessed that these people were most likely the customers who had previously reserved the stolen jade.

Before Xia Li could even speak, the middle-aged man shouted, "What's going on with this 'Golden Jade Abundance' shop? We came to pick up the goods as agreed, but you're telling us you don't have any? If you can't produce what we want today, you can forget about keeping this shop open!"

The noise attracted passersby, who stopped to watch and point, making Xia Li feel somewhat embarrassed.

What happened? Who told you?

Xia Li took a deep breath, forced a smile, and tried to make her tone sound gentle and polite: "Distinguished guests, I am truly sorry for the inconvenience caused. Please come to the inner room so we can talk slowly."

As she spoke, she gestured for them to proceed.

However, the middle-aged man was unmoved, scoffing, "Hmph, stop pretending. Who knows what you're up to in there? We'll settle things right here at the door!"

Someone in the crowd started to chime in: "That's right, that's right, don't think you can just trick us into going in and get away with it!"
