Princess Chaoyang immediately put on a stern face.
"Every time I say something, Liu Zhao's wife refutes it. Could it be that she dislikes me?"
This is a direct question.
Princess Huyang stepped in to smooth things over, "Aunt Chaoyang is such a jokester. You're the elder, and Liu Zhao's wife respects you enough."
Princess Chaoyang snorted and glanced at Gu Jiu with contempt.
"Daughter-in-law Liu Zhao, do you have any objections to me?"
Gu Jiu raised his head and said, "I don't understand why Her Royal Highness the Princess has such an illusion. Isn't it like this when we are relatives chatting? It is only when we speak our minds that we appear sincere."
Princess Chaoyang put down her teacup and said, "I've never seen sincerity in you. As a junior, you're disrespectful to your elders. Have you learned all the rules?"
Gu Jiu lowered his head and smiled, "If the elders are not kind, how can the younger generation respect the elders?"
"presumptuous!"
Bang!
Princess Chaoyang slammed the table with her hand, her expression darkened, and she looked very serious and a little scary.
Everyone present was shocked.
What's the matter? What's the matter?
So scary!
Why did you suddenly bang the table?
After just a few words, they turned hostile. Is this a visit or a fight?
But I still feel excited because there is a good show to watch!
One is Princess Chaoyang, a fighter among princesses, with a high generation and high status. She will show off her face at the slightest disagreement. She always bullies others, and no one else has the right to bully her.
One is the famous Lady Zhao, who is rich, beautiful, has a son, and is also jealous. She can make money when she goes out and control men when she comes home. She is a fighter among the ladies and is very envied and hated by others.
It will be a good show to watch when these two people fight.
Look at the royal ladies present, their excited eyes are not concealed at all.
Ouyang Fu secretly tugged at Gu Jiu's sleeve, telling him to be submissive and not to make things too awkward. Princess Chaoyang was, after all, an elder, two generations older than her. She was of the same generation as the Empress Dowager.
It’s better not to mess with such people.
Gu Jiu remained unmoved.
She's just Princess Chaoyang, there's nothing to be afraid of.
Gu Jiu was not afraid that Princess Chaoyang would bang the table, but he was afraid that she would not bang the table.
But there are people who are faster than Gu Jiu.
Princess Huyang immediately started yelling, "Aunt Chaoyang, you slammed my table, what do you mean? Do you dislike me and think the tea in my Princess Mansion is unpalatable and the words are unpleasant?"
Princess Chaoyang glared at Huyang and called her a bitch in her heart.
Then he said seriously: "This is none of your business, don't interfere."
Princess Huyang was dissatisfied. "How can this be none of my business? This is my Princess Mansion, my territory. Aunt Chaoyang, you are even more domineering than me. What's going on? Are you trying to take over?"
Princess Chaoyang was furious. "I am questioning Liu Zhao's wife. Huyang, could you please shut up for a moment?"
"Why do you tell me to shut up? I haven't told you to shut up yet." Princess Huyang was angry.
She said bluntly, "Aunt Chaoyang, don't explain. You've disliked me since we were little. I sent you invitations, and eight out of ten times you didn't come. You hosted banquets, and five out of ten times you left me out. I don't care about any of this.
Today's banquet is to celebrate my daughter's marriage, and all the relatives are gathered together to have a good time. Aunt Chaoyang, I'm glad you're willing to come. It's a great honor for me.
But you were in my Princess's Mansion, giving my eldest nephew's wife a cold look, which showed that you were not giving me face.
Aunt Chaoyang, you give me face one moment, then throw it away the next. What exactly do you mean? Could it be that from the very beginning, you were planning to use my banquet to intimidate my nephew's wife?
What do you think of me, Hu Yang? I'm going to make this clear today: others may be afraid of you, but I, Hu Yang, am not. If you insist on causing trouble at my banquet, don't blame your niece for not giving you face.
Princess Chaoyang was so angry that she fell backwards. "..."Huyang, are you a pig? Can't you see that Liu Zhao's wife is using you? The conflict between me and Liu Zhao's wife is none of your business.
Princess Huyang snorted twice and glanced at Gu Jiu again. It seemed as if she was saying: Don't be afraid, nephew and his wife, I'm here to protect you. Let's see who dares not to give you face.
Gu Jiu lowered his head and smiled. Every time, Hu Yang was a great assist.
Ignoring all the bad things that happened to Hu Yang, I actually thought Hu Yang was quite cute for a moment.
She winked at Princess Huyang and said, "Thank you, aunt!"
Princess Huyang was very proud: "What are you thanking me for? My nephew and his wife are so polite!"
Princess Chaoyang felt so upset when she saw the two of them flirting with each other.
She knew that Princess Huyang was a fool and a weirdo, and she couldn't even explain herself clearly.
So she decisively ignored Hu Yang and turned her attention directly to Gu Jiu, "Liu Zhao's wife, are you mute? As a junior, you are disrespectful to me. What is your punishment?"
Huyang has a bad temper. She has told Princess Chaoyang not to bully her nephew's wife, but why doesn't she listen?
She rolled up her sleeves and was about to retort, but was stopped by Gu Jiu's look.
Gu Jiu shook his head slightly and faced Princess Chaoyang. "I don't know what crime I have committed. If I were to say I was disrespectful to my elders, that would be absurd. Regarding this, I am willing to accompany Her Royal Highness to the Imperial Court to confront him. By the way, let's talk about the scam set up by the Youcai Casino in the east of the city. I believe Your Majesty would be happy to hear it."
What, what?
What is Youcai Casino?
Aren’t you arguing about disrespecting elders?
Why did you suddenly mention the casino?
Many people present were confused.
However, those who are older and of higher generation know a little about the inside story.
The young ladies present were certainly unaware of the Youcai Casino. The older women had all heard of it. The casino was located adjacent to the Chaoyang Princess's residence and had brought in countless fortunes for the residence over the years.
Because of this background, this casino has encountered several accidents, but has been able to escape safely and continue to operate as usual.
The elderly women exchanged glances.
It seems that today's dispute is not a simple one, but involves a dispute over interests.
Hu Yang's eyes darted around. She knew Youcai Casino! It was too familiar.
She and Prince Consort Chen used to go to that place often and spent a lot of money there.
Later, when Prince Consort Chen was executed, she stopped going to the casino.
I didn’t expect that my nephew’s wife also knew about Youcai Casino and knew that the person behind the casino was Princess Chaoyang.
Tsk!
Today is a big show!
Princess Huyang, as the hostess, was not anxious at all, but rather excited, with an expression that looked like she was looking forward to a good show.
Others: Huyang, Huyang, do you have any awareness of being the master of the house?
Huyang was lucky because his brother became the emperor.
Otherwise, with her temper, if someone else were the emperor, Huyang would be courting death every day. The grass on her grave might even be ten feet high.
Princess Chaoyang's expression changed slightly when she heard the words "Youcai Casino".
"Liu Zhao's wife, don't talk about other things."
Her expression was serious, and she was almost intimidating Gu Jiu with the aura of a superior.
Gu Jiu: “…” Hehe!
She directly retorted, "Is Your Highness the Princess feeling guilty? If you've done something wrong, you're afraid of ghosts knocking on your door."
"Nonsense. Who gave you the courage to speak to me like that?"
Gu Jiu sneered, "Your Highness, there's something I want to tell you. Cutting off someone's financial resources is like killing their parents. If you dare to cut off my financial resources, be prepared for me to cut off your hand."
"How outrageous!"
"Does Your Highness the Princess really think that no one knows about those things? Do you think I'm stupid?"
"I don't know what you're talking about. It's completely nonsense."
Gu Jiu raised an eyebrow and smiled, "I'm going to take that position. Your Highness, the Princess, better not have any bad ideas, otherwise your wealth will be reduced to nothing. Also, a reminder, looking throughout the entire capital, I'm afraid no one who can compare with the wealth of Sihai Commercial Bank has been born yet. If a mere casino annoys me, I don't mind just using money to wipe it out."
"You, you, you are simply lawless!"
Princess Chaoyang felt frightened for the first time, and her drooping cheek muscles were twitching uncontrollably.
Why did she plot to frame the eldest grandson of the Shaofu Household Officer?
Because she is jealous!
The Shaofu has made a lot of money since he hooked up with Gu Jiu.
First, it was the Shaofu Money House, which made a lot of money.
Now it's a cement workshop. The cost is very small, ten cents a dan of cement, and I can make at least eight cents.
Although eight cents is a small amount, it is more than a lot.
Moreover, the Shaofu Household Order can see His Majesty from time to time and make his presence felt in front of His Majesty.
It can be said that whoever serves as the Minister of the Imperial Household is the emperor's confidant. Not only does he have fame and status, but he also has money.
The current Shaofu Household Manager was also rich in the past, but not as much as he is now.
The Shaofu Jialing's family became truly wealthy only after they got in touch with Gu Jiu.
With so much money and such an important position, who wouldn't want it? Who wouldn't be jealous?
The Minister of the Imperial Household has been in that position for twenty years, and it is time for him to step down and let someone more capable take over.
Of course, Princess Chaoyang didn't want to sit in that seat herself.
She wanted to help her son get promoted.
If she gets rid of the current Shaofu Household Supervisor and makes some arrangements, her son will have a great chance of becoming the new Shaofu Household Supervisor.
From now on, all the money, fame, and profit belong to her.
Faced with such huge interests, let alone setting up a trap to trap the eldest grandson of the Shaofu Household Manager.
If necessary, Princess Chaoyang could also kill the Shaofu's family.
No one in the royal family was merciful. If necessary, everyone could be ruthless and kill an entire family.
Gu Jiu smiled softly, "This is a dispute over interests. If Her Royal Highness is not polite, then naturally, I will not be polite either."
