Chapter 104 The Princess Wants to Replace the Craftsmen!
Su Jingge closed her eyes tightly, and another one came.
Everyone should pay their respects.
An Wanyu quickly rolled up her sleeves: "All of it is free!"
Su Jingge said, "Princess Yongzhu, which eye of yours saw me pestering your husband?"
An Wanyu glared at her: "You said you weren't bothering me, yet you've already invited people here!"
"Then please keep an eye on your husband and don't let him run around and spread his feathers everywhere!"
An Wanyu's anger was directed at Xiao Ziyu. Although she was furious, she still liked Xiao Ziyu very much.
Her eyes held a hint of anger, while her face radiated affection. She tugged at Xiao Ziyu's sleeve and spoke in a soft, sweet voice, "Brother Ziyu, where have you been lately? Why haven't you come to my residence when I've asked you to?"
Xiao Ziyu pretended to be distant and pushed her hand away: "Please don't pull me like that, Princess. I've been helping my father with some things lately."
"Go to the west of the city and build waterwheels."
"That's good, let's do our part for this county."
Then, when he said these words, he was looking at Su Jingge.
Even this fool knows he was talking to Su Jingge.
A wave of disappointment washed over An Wanyu. She took a deep breath and said, "Young Master Xiao has lofty ambitions and will surely achieve great things in the future. Don't forget about our wedding..."
Xiao Ziyu knew that this was a clear reminder that the marriage was important.
But the implication was that she was a princess!
He'd heard enough, he'd really heard enough, he'd really had enough!
He's been struggling to breathe ever since An Wanyu started bothering him.
An Wanyu wasn't like this before. She was delicate, sweet, and approachable. But now she's arrogant and domineering, and everyone respects her.
He felt something was wrong and couldn't breathe.
When An Wanyu was in the mansion, her mother always treated her with utmost respect, no matter when or where, for fear of neglecting her.
She wanted everyone to revolve around her all day long.
Her mother was subservient; she was like a servant in her presence.
When has she ever displayed the majesty of the Xiao family's matriarch?
Needless to say, the father would listen to the servants' reports as soon as they came.
As soon as An Wanyu entered the room, her father immediately hid in the study.
He doesn't even come out for lunch.
Is this a wedding?
Is this like marrying a tigress?
He had been thinking about it these past few days. If he really married someone like that, even if he, Rong Sheng, could rise to a high position by relying on this golden phoenix, he would eventually die a pathetic death!
He recalled how good Su Jingge had been to him in the past.
Her parents liked her, and she was filial to them. He could tell that it wasn't an act; she genuinely respected them from the bottom of her heart.
However, he lost such a good woman.
"Princess, let's postpone the wedding for now. Building up the city is the priority."
Upon hearing this, An Wanyu became anxious: "Xiao Lang, you weren't like this before. You used to believe everything I said. Now you not only contradict me, but you also avoid seeing me?"
"Is it because of her that he's pursuing you again?"
"Tell me, tell me!"
Seeing that the person remained silent, she smiled again and said, "Where is it that I'm not good enough? I can change, Brother Ziyu."
An Wanyu was a little agitated and clung to Xiao Ziyu.
Xiao Ziyu shook off her hand again, his words carrying a warning tone: "Princess, you are the lord of a city, do not lower yourself!"
The two struggled, one refusing to let go while the other quickly pushed them away.
Then, Su Jingge added, "This place is the palace's workshop for imperial craftsmen. If there's nothing else, you may leave!"
An Wanyu was already angry, and when she heard this, she realized that she was being told to leave.
She is a princess, how could she tolerate the rudeness of this little bitch?
She sneered, "Although you are now a county magistrate, don't forget that the ruler of this continent is still me, Princess Yongzhu."
“I am not here today for no reason, but to supervise the Sun family’s ceramic workshop.”
Everyone was taken aback by these words.
Su Jingge frowned slightly: "What do you mean by that?"
An Wanyu twitched her fingers, and the maid took out the document.
“You’ll know once you’ve seen it,” An Wanyu said.
Su Jingge took the letter, opened it, and read it.
She sneered inwardly. It turned out that Gu Pingsheng had said in his letter that this place was An Wanyu's fiefdom, and that there were many talented people under her command. He instructed her to oversee the goods used by the nobles in the palace.
She understood.
This letter is enough to make it clear.
With An Wanyu involved, it's no wonder things can turn out badly.
"Magistrate Su, do I have the authority to supervise this Sun family ceramics workshop?"
Su Jingge frowned slightly, but still spoke calmly, "Of course."
"Now I declare that I am not satisfied with any of you craftsmen, and you will all replace your families with my own people!"
These words caused an uproar in the audience!
Sun Changgui was anxious: "Princess, this, this, how can this be? These craftsmen are all the most experienced old craftsmen. If you replace them, what if the goods cannot be made exactly as they were? If they cannot be delivered to the palace, you will be held accountable!"
"At that point, I might not even be able to save my life!"
The group was filled with fear.
Their faces were pale.
An Wanyu looked down at them with an air of superiority: "It's not like you're the only ones in the city who can make these things. I think Ning Zhutian and Ning Xingshou from Shangguzhai have experienced craftsmen. Why don't we ask them to make them?"
The atmosphere suddenly became oppressive.
Su Jingge looked at the smug smile in An Wanyu's eyes.
If these artisans were replaced by artisans from Shangguzhai, then the credit would ultimately go to Shangguzhai and the princess.
The people above only care about the goods; they don't care who made them.
As a result, Shanggu Zhai became a hit.
She worked so hard, only to have it all benefit someone else.
Mingli knew that An Wanyu was extremely jealous, and today she happened to see Xiao Ziyu come to find her, so she must be feeling extremely angry.
She's attacking herself.
These artisans suffered along with her.
She said, "No, this batch of goods can only be processed by us. What does it have to do with Shanggu Zhai?"
"Gu Pingsheng also sent me a letter. The Imperial Concubine specifically requested that I be the one to ship the goods. You only have the authority to supervise, but not the authority to allocate them!"
An Wanyu was furious, but she couldn't lose face in front of her: "I only care whether this batch of goods can be delivered to the palace as agreed. As for your manpower being too slow, I will transfer authority and replace them all!"
The two sides are deadlocked.
Just then, Xiao Linyuan and Feijian arrived.
Su Jingge looked at the two of them and asked, "You, what brings you here?"
Fei Jian said, "Young master, seeing the princess heading towards Xiaoximen, and knowing that the princess is very concerned about the matter of the noble people in the palace, you should also help the princess to quickly make this happen."
An Wanyu's lips curled into a smile: "They're not here to help me, they're here to watch over me!"
Xiao Linyuan remained expressionless, exuding a powerful aura.
The two learned about what had happened that day.
Xiao Linyuan listened to the incessant arguing among the group. The princess's men came up and tried to suppress all the workers and replace them.
The scene became chaotic at one point.
