Chapter 60: It Can’t Be Too Cheap, Princess
Oh my goodness! Jingyi actually came to the kitchen! Is she crazy? She actually thought of coming here to arrest someone!
Lin Xiaoyue shuddered and hid behind the earthen stove.
Jingyi walked lightly into the kitchen without even checking whether the people inside were willing or not. "Someone, tie up all the cooks here and take them to the princess's mansion!"
Wang Fugui was so anxious that he almost cried. He quickly stepped forward to stop her and said, "Princess, I didn't say I didn't want to! Buddha Jumps Over the Wall won't be ready for a while, so I thought I'd bring it to you once it's ready! Please give me some time!"
Jingyi didn't believe his nonsense. Whenever she wanted to ask someone for a cook, she usually had this expression and gave this answer. In the end, he just gave her a fake one. Did he think she was really stupid?
"How dare you! Is this princess' words of advice useless? Take everyone in the kitchen, regardless of gender! Anyone who dares to stop me will be hacked to death!"
Lin Xiaoyue thought Jingyi was already willful and capricious enough when she was in the valley, but she didn't expect that this woman would become even more arrogant and domineering when she arrived in the capital!
But I am definitely not someone who grew up because of grievances!
She grabbed a handful of ashes from the stove and smeared them on her face, then ran out and yelled, "If you dare to do this, I'll file a complaint with the Emperor! I'll say you're forcing people to buy and sell, being arrogant and domineering, and oppressing the people. You can't help Emperor Liang maintain the image of the imperial family, and you can't help the people live and work in peace. You're a complete bastard! What use is there for Dongsui to have a princess like you?"
Jingyi was so angry that she drew her guard's sword and slashed at Lin Xiaoyue. "How dare you, a servant who only cares about the fire, humiliate me like this? Are you tired of living? Today, I will kill you!"
Lin Xiaoyue winked at Wang Fugui and ran around the kitchen, shouting and trying to provoke Jingyi. "I'm just tired of living. What's the matter? You want to kill me? If you can't cut me, you're a coward!"
Wang Fugui took advantage of the chaos and ran out of the kitchen. He had to find the boss, otherwise Jueweilou would be in jeopardy!
Jingyi was so furious that she didn't notice Wang Fugui slipping away, nor did she look closely at Lin Xiaoyue's face. She only knew that she was a servant who worked the stove. A feeling of shame drove her crazy. "Stop right there! You're running around like a flea!"
Lin Xiaoyue thought, wouldn’t it be easier for you to recognize me if I were standing?
She jumped onto the table nimbly and threw all the pots and pans at Jingyi. She had already offended her, so this was not a big deal!
"Only a fool would let you chop me while I'm standing! You say I'm a flea, but you're a toad? Only a toad would be so shameless as to chase after someone else!"
Even though Jingyi was uneducated, she had heard the saying that a toad wanted to eat swan flesh. She was so angry that she almost fainted, but Lin Xiaoyue threw things around like she was reckless, so she could only hide behind the guards and scream "Ahhhh".
Of course, there were a few guards who were always ready to pounce and catch Lin Xiaoyue, but although Lin Xiaoyue did not know martial arts, she was smart. As long as she threw fast enough, those people could only stand in front of Jingyi and dared not take a step forward.
After all, in the hearts of these guards, the princess must not be hurt!
Just when Lin Xiaoyue was throwing happily, she accidentally threw it towards the door.
But what came from the door was not the sound of plates breaking, but a man's roar, "Catch the troublemakers inside!"
When Lin Xiaoyue heard that it was the owner of Jueweilou, she happily ran over to greet him, "Boss, you're finally here, otherwise we would have been arrested and taken to the Princess's Mansion!"
The man saw Lin Xiaoyue's face was as black as a coal ball, and he said with a mixture of anger and amusement, "You're the smartest one! You're so dirty, why don't you go buy some clean clothes? What are you doing here?"
Wang Fugui was afraid that his master would say too much, and what would happen if Miss Mu Yao got angry and didn’t want to come anymore?
He quickly tried to help and said, "Boss, this is really not Miss Mu Yao's fault! It was Princess Anyi who made things difficult for us because the food at Jueweilou wasn't tasty, so Miss Mu Yao only helped us out with reluctance!"
Lin Xiaoyue nodded repeatedly, "That's right! We cooked so many dishes for Princess Anyi with good intentions, but after she ate them, she wanted to take the chef away. How could someone be so blatant in poaching someone? Is this a forced sale?"
Jingyi blushed redly. She had been dominating the capital for so many years, when had she ever been scolded like that?
Under the protection of her guards, she walked up to the man and said arrogantly, "Are you the owner of Jueweilou? This princess orders you to send all the chefs here to the princess's mansion. Otherwise, I will cut off this woman's tongue and see how she can come out and bite people again!"
Lin Xiaoyue was so angry that she picked up a stool and was about to hit Jingyi. This woman was so cruel!
"Want to cut off my tongue? You're looking for death!"
The man's movements were quicker than Lin Xiaoyue's. He slapped Jingyi in the face and angrily scolded her, "The emperor is guilty of the same crime as the people. You are just a princess from another family. You rely on the power of Prince Jingnan to show off in the capital. Aren't you afraid of embarrassing Prince Jingnan?"
Jingyi felt extremely humiliated. She took out the whistle from her waist and blew it sharply. More guards jumped into the kitchen. The word "Jing" was embroidered on the clothes of these people. It was obvious that they were from Jingnan Palace!
Seeing her own people rushing over, Jingyi's face flashed with pride, and she shouted loudly: "Kill all those who humiliated me, and leave no one alive!"
The man was remarkably calm. Taking advantage of Jingyi's unpreparedness, he quickly pulled her in front of him, put a knife to her neck and threatened her in a deep voice, "Tell your men to stop, otherwise, today will be the day you die!"
Jingyi cursed the useless person in her heart and shouted reluctantly: "Stop it! A bunch of useless things, can't you see that I'm being caught?"
Hearing Jingyi's angry curses, the guards realized that their princess was in the hands of the owner of Juewei Tower. They quickly retracted their swords, fearing that the princess would be hurt.
The man pushed Jingyi out, saying as he walked, "Everyone, get out of Jueweilou, or my knife won't obey you!"
Jingyi felt the blade move a little closer to her neck, and a slight pain entered her brain. She instinctively shouted, "Get out! Get out!"
The guards stared closely at the knife in the man's hand and slowly retreated step by step.
Lin Xiaoyue could see that the owner of Jueweilou just wanted to scare Jingyi away, but if there is a first time, there will be a second time. The owner doesn’t stay in Jueweilou every day, so to prevent it from happening, he can only use ruthless tactics!
She ran into the space, searched around, took out a poison, ran over to stop the man, and said, "Boss, isn't it too easy for Princess An Yi to leave like this? Didn't you see how badly everyone in Jueweilou was beaten? Not to mention the damage done to the kitchen and the private rooms upstairs!"
The man chuckled, stopped and asked, "Oh? Do you have any good suggestions?"
Lin Xiaoyue took out the poison hidden in her hand and said to Jingyi, "Princess Anyi, I give you two choices: One, apologize and promise not to cause trouble again when you come to Jueweilou, otherwise I will chop off one of your hands! Two, if you don't obey, I will have no choice but to make you take this poison. Don't worry, it won't kill you, but it will make you unable to curse for the rest of your life! Which one do you choose?"
