Although the leader in front of ger was dressed the same as the refugees, on a closer look, the flesh on his neck was still very tender. He did not look like a refugee who had experienced a disaster.
Ning Yue already had a guess that this person was very useful.
The real refugees had already sat down, leaving only the leader and another person behind.
âEveryone, sit. Iâll be here and answer your doubts. You just have to wait for a while. In any case, youâve already waited for the entire night and have eaten and drunk your fill. Donât tell me you wonât be able to wait for another ten to twenty minutes?â Ning Yue said with a smile.
The leader was rendered speechless by Ning Yueâs words. He gritted his teeth. No matter how unhappy he was, he could not flare up, because his role now was that of a suffering refugee.
Uncle Su, who had been ordered by Ning Yue, came over with a few thick books. âPrincess, these are what you wanted.â
Ning Yue took it and flipped it open. She looked at the leader again. âWhatâs your name?â
âMy name is Li⦠Oh, my name is Puppy,â the man said.
Ning Yue chuckled, not planning to expose this man.
âVery good. Just now, you said that the chair you were sitting on was shabby, right?â Ning Yue asked him with a smile.
For some reason, the leader, who called himself Puppy, felt his heart stop for a moment. He was a little flustered.
âPrincess, thatâs not what I meant. I just thinkâ¦â He wanted to say something, but he couldnât explain. He had already said what he had just said, and Ning Yue had targeted his sore spot.
âWhat about you? There are so many witnesses. Do you want to deny it?â Ning Yue slapped the handle of the chair.
With a snap, everyone was so frightened that they did not dare to speak.
Puppy was frightened by Ning Yue. As he breathed, his eyes darted around and he said, âPrincess, thatâs how it is. Do you despise the poor and love the rich?â
Ning Yue couldnât help but sneer. This personâs logic was not bad. If she didnât give them a good chair to sit on, she would be despising the poor and loving the rich?
âDo you know? I have the accounts of the Prince Jinâs Residence in my hands in recent years. The combined salary of the Prince and Prince Consort Jin is only 15,000 taels of silver. The salary of the servants is 3,000 taels of silver a year. The rest of the money is for the people in the Prince Jinâs Residence to eat and drink. Do you know how many servants there are in the princeâs fief and the two residences?â
âPrinces still have to replenish some military supplies from our own pocket. Youâre here to cause trouble again. I heard from the heir that youâve been here more than once or twice. How much money do you think we still have to give you good chairs to sit on?â
Puppy answered without thinking. âNonsense! If thatâs the case, what about the princessâs chair?â
If they could buy a superior-class chair, couldnât they buy an ordinary chair? The chairs they were sitting on was the worst kind.
âYou bastard! You look down on me, the princess conferred by the emperor emeritus. Your crime is not small.â Ning Yue sneered.
Puppy hurriedly knelt on the ground with an aggrieved expression. âPrincess, you canât bully the commoners nonchalantly, casually, and indifferently. Weâre just talking about the chairs.â
He kowtowed and cried. This scene was as if Ning Yue was someone who bullied others with her power.
âIâm Princess Mingyue. Itâs reasonable for me to sit on this chair. The most valuable thing in Prince Jinâs residence is what the emperor personally bestowed. Do you think Iâm lying to you? Do you want me to sell the things bestowed by the emperor to buy you a chair?â Ning Yue asked.
At the side, Uncle Su looked at Ning Yue in shock. The princessâs words seemed to make sense, but he kept feeling that something was strange.

Puppy was about to say something when Ning Yue interrupted him. âNot only do you look down on me, but you also look down on the current emperor. Someone, tie him up and gag him with a rag. Take the token of the Prince Jinâs Estate to meet the emperor! Tell the emperor everything that happened here.â
Hearing Ning Yueâs words, Uncle Su hurriedly got the guards to tie him up.
Letting the emperor know about this was to use the emperorâs hand to give those who had crooked thoughts a warning. She believed that when this group of refugees entered, regardless of whether there were masterminds from other countries behind them, the officials in the capital would be involved!
With so many people coming in, did they think she was blind? Since she couldnât stop them, they couldnât blame her for being rude..
