“Princess, we’ve been eating our way through this, there’s really no need for that.” One of the helpers shook his head.

He was originally a factory worker, and the princess treated them very well, both in terms of food and wages, which was incomparable to other workshops.

Therefore, they all cherished this hard-won job, especially the first batch of refugees.

The two people who happened to come to help were among the first batch of refugees.

They felt that being able to work for the young princess was something to be envied, and they certainly shouldn't take advantage of her.

After all, food in the capital is expensive. Although they earn a good wage, they only think about buying some food for their children at home when they receive their wages.

But almost everyone was reluctant to eat it themselves, saving the money for their sons or even grandsons' weddings as an emergency fund.

They were all people who had endured hardship all along, and they knew that having some money on hand was essential to having multiple ways to save their lives when needed most.

Another young man who came to help out swallowed hard as he looked at the big meat bun, but still shook his head firmly.

How could Su Muyao not see through their cautiousness?

"I've already bought them all, so I can't just throw them away, can I?"

You're workers, isn't it the most basic thing that you get meals provided? Besides, factories provide breakfast too!

Besides, you've been running around with me all this time, how can you not eat?

After saying that, he distributed all the large bags of steamed buns wrapped in oil paper.

After thanking Su Muyao, the group each ate one, and wrapped up the rest to take back to their wives and children.

He took out the silver notes given to him by the owner of the study from inside the carriage and examined them carefully.

Holding the banknotes in my hand, each one felt quite substantial, and the paper seemed to be made of a special material.

It is printed with a double fish pattern, surrounded by auspicious patterns, and in the center it says one hundred taels of silver.

Su Muyao thought the owner was very generous, with a thick stack of bills, each worth fifty or one hundred taels.

Since the employer was so generous with the money, he naturally had to go to the Minister's residence to ask that official to make a few more printing plates.

In particular, several other volumes were also rushed out.

The Minister's residence was in complete chaos. "We were really outsmarted by that little fox. We didn't even have time to prepare anything for ourselves."

"Dad, look at her, it's only been two days, and she's already asking for this and that again. I really owe her something."

The adult in front of me was truly infuriating.

We just saw the young princess off, and look at what she's saying.

"Father, look at what she's saying! Is she even speaking human language? What does she mean by 'if you promise something, you have to do it'? What does she mean by 'I believe you are a trustworthy gentleman'?"

She even said that promotion and wealth were just around the corner, and that she had high hopes for me.

Before he could finish speaking, the middle-aged man patted his son on the shoulder and said, "You have a long road ahead of you." After saying this, he left the house without looking back.

All that could be heard from inside the house was the angry voice of a man still cursing and swearing.

And the study early in the morning

The news that the Monkey King storybook had arrived spread like wildfire.

The place was immediately packed with customers.

The storybooks sold incredibly well not only in the capital, but also in several towns outside the capital, where people helped buy them on behalf of others.

The owner's pockets were bulging with profits, and within two days, everyone who had bought the Monkey King book was urging him to buy the second volume.

Since the advent of woodblock printing, it has attracted more attention than imagined.

When the Minister reported this technology to the court, unsurprisingly, the entire court was greatly shocked.

The emperor further increased the rewards and honors bestowed upon the Minister of Works, making the Minister's office the most powerful force in the land!

It was at this moment that the Minister felt that cooperating with the young princess was a blessing he had earned in his previous life.

Even when he was as busy as a donkey at the village entrance, he was still happy to help the young princess.

…

With the release of the second volume of Monkey King, the number of readers has been increasing.

As is often the case with popular figures, some short-sighted people in the court set their sights on the study.

It wasn't until Su Muyao stormed into the mansion gate with her golden snake whip that he realized this was a business jointly owned by the young princess and Ren Shuzhai.

But it was too late.

When the gatekeeper came to report that it was the Princess's residence, Lord Chen was overjoyed, thinking that the Princess's residence was something he couldn't ask for more.

Back then, so many ministers hoped that the young princess could visit the mansion, but she refused them all.

It was only when they saw the young princess holding a golden snake whip and followed by a group of servants that they realized something was amiss.

As soon as the young princess stepped into the mansion, she raised the golden snake whip in her hand and declared, "This is a gift from the Emperor. Seeing this whip is like seeing the Emperor himself. Anyone who dares to stop me will be killed without mercy!"

At this, everyone in the mansion trembled and knelt down.

Without any hesitation, Su Muyao took the golden snake whip and began to wreak havoc on the various precious flowers and plants in the mansion, until she passed through the garden and arrived at the main hall.

All the antiques and calligraphy displayed in the mansion were smashed to pieces by Su Muyao.

"Oh my, calligraphy and painting! You're incredibly insolent! Who are you, little brat, daring to cause trouble in my residence? Guards, drag her away and beat her to death with sticks!"

The lady, who had just woken up from her afternoon nap, came out of the inner room and heard a series of crackling sounds outside.

When they came out, they found it was just a baby, who brandished a whip and lashed it at the valuable ornaments in the house.

This really broke her heart.

She was originally the daughter of a high-ranking official, and although she married into the Chen family, her family doted on her very much.

Her wedding was a grand affair, and because of this, even though he was a higher-ranking official than Lord Chen, no one dared to look down on the Chen family.

Today, she was bullied in the mansion by a mere child. How could she tolerate this?

Su Muyao looked at the beautiful woman and clicked her tongue twice. "Since she has done such a treacherous thing, she should be prepared to repay her in kind."

"You little slut, whose family are you? Tell me your name!"

After the woman finished speaking, Xia Xia shouted arrogantly from the side, "Open your dog eyes and look! This is a princess personally appointed by the emperor."

Xia felt that she couldn't lose face even if she lost the other way. Besides, she had learned before coming that Lord Chen's official rank was not as high as her own princess's.

Upon hearing this, Madam Chen scoffed, "I thought she was someone important, but she's just a minor princess."

"My father is a founding minister; how could he possibly be offended by some wild girl from who-knows-where?"

Su Muyao was too lazy to waste words with her and continued what she was doing, smashing things around the room.

Upon seeing this, the woman rushed forward to snatch the golden snake whip, but Lord Chen, kneeling in the courtyard, quickly stopped her, saying, "Madam, you mustn't."

Madam Chen was used to being domineering, and she couldn't stand seeing her husband so weak. The more he said it, the more she felt she had to teach this little slut a lesson.
