Chapter 1546 - 1545: My Heart Aches for You_1
"If I truly wanted to take Jiwei Residence for myself, relying on the support of the retired emperor, I could have claimed everything from Jiwei Residence. But I didn’t, all I wanted was the profits from Jiwei Residence, which just needs to send its earnings to me each month. I don’t care about the rest at all."
"Jiwei Residence is still the property of the Prime Minister. When the earnings have paid off the gambling debts, then Jiwei Residence will have nothing to do with me."
"The rumors that claim I took Jiwei Residence are framing me. I am a person who honors relationships; I always remember the kindness of the Prime Minister, which is why I choose to believe in the Prime Minister this time."
"Bei Yun, it’s absolutely impossible for Yu Zizhou to have stolen the treasure to use as a deposit for the Tianlong Gang. Now that the treasure has vanished without a trace, I think it was you who stole it."
Upon hearing this, Bei Yun shot to his feet, "Miss Qiao, you can’t just talk nonsense like that. Why would I steal that thing for no reason? Besides, that treasure was protected by nine locks. How could I steal it? I’m not a master thief."
"And was there any sign that the treasure was stolen? No, wasn’t there? At least the Yu Family didn’t find any. Such a clever method of thievery, you’re really giving me too much credit."
He spoke with some agitation, and after finishing, he quickly raised his hand to pat his chest, then drew several long breaths.
He couldn’t afford to be agitated; any excitement could trigger the poison inside him.
He looked towards Qiao Xiaomai; his voice and expression had returned to calm, "Miss Qiao, if you say I stole it, present your evidence."
"I may have committed many wrongs in the past, but if you’re going to pin any sort of blame on me for that, I won’t accept it."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Xiaomai turned to look at Bei Lingsu, "Lingsu, what do you say?"
