Hearing the conversation between Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao, the people around them twitched their lips, especially Dongchen and Nanfeng. "Where is your moral integrity, Your Majesty? There should be a limit to pampering your wife."
They were not afraid of spoiling her, but they thought that Qian Jiujiu had always been a kind person, so even if she was spoiled, she would not bully others. Speaking of which, they really wanted to see it.
How could Qian Jiujiu bully others by taking advantage of her power? As long as Nanny Wan looked at Qian Jiujiu, she would say, "Princess, please be careful."
Hong Ling and Hong Chou were already rubbing their fists and preparing to fight. Qian Jiujiu glanced at the two girls and said, "Come with me and beat up the bully who stole my property."
Following Qian Jiujiu's words, Hongling and Hongchou rushed in directly, while Qingyu and Qinglian stayed beside Qian Jiujiu. Mu Yexiao did not move, but just watched silently in the crowd.
His little Jiuer was going to show off his power. In fact, he was also very curious. When Hongling and Hongchou rushed in, there was a stalemate inside, including Yue Niang's cousin-in-law and his family.
There were also some farmhands and servants in the house, all holding things, staring at the group of servants. They were about to fight, but stopped because Yue Niang came in.
The one who came to chase them away should be the leader. He looked at everyone and said, "Don't think that we won't dare to touch you just because a stinky girl is backing you up. Let me tell you, the last name is Yu."
"It is your blessing that my master likes your herb garden. If you accept the one hundred taels, get out of here. If you don't want to, don't blame me for being rude."
Qian Jiujiu couldn't help but blink when he heard such arrogant words: "Oh, what a big little master, how can you be so rude?"
The leader saw another woman coming, oh no, five women, each of them was more beautiful and pretty, and couldn't help but stare at them: "Wow, where did this little beauty come from..."
Qian Jiujiu's expression suddenly turned cold: "Hongling, open your mouth and hit me with the sole of your shoe to avoid hurting your hands."
Hong Ling had long wanted to teach this man a lesson, and when she heard Qian Jiujiu's words, she realized that this was exactly what she meant: "Yes, Master."
After finishing speaking, Hong Ling looked at the group of people from the Yu family and said, "Can anyone lend me your shoe soles?"
A man took off his shoes on the spot. Hongling took them with a frown and hit the leader's face several times with the sole of her shoe.
The leader wanted to hide, but this servant who had no martial arts skills was no match for Hongling. It was not until she knocked out two of the servant's teeth that she returned the sole of her shoe to him.
Looking at the leader, "I told you to talk nonsense. Do you know who this is? You can't insult our princess. It's a bargain to knock out two of your teeth."
When the leader heard the word "Princess", he asked vaguely, "But Princess Xiao?"
Hong Ling snorted coldly: "How many princesses do we have in the Great Zhou? You guys are so bold. Our Princess Xiao is here and will never agree to you oppressing the innocent people like this."
"Tell us, my princess, what grievances you have."
Hearing Hong Ling's words, Yue Niang quickly pulled her cousin and said, "Cousin, brother-in-law, go and ask the princess for help."
When everyone heard that Qian Jiujiu was actually Princess Xiao, they were so excited. Yue Niang really invited the princess. Yue Niang's cousin's husband was named Yu Guang.
As soon as he heard Yue Niang's words, he immediately knelt down and said, "Please, Princess, make the decision for me."
Qian Jiujiu looked at him and said, "Tell me all the grievances you have. Hongchou, go and invite everyone outside to come in as witnesses. This princess wants to see what's going on with you guys."
When the leader saw the situation, he knew that things were going to get bad. Who would have thought that this group of unruly people actually knew the princess.
As expected, Hongchou quickly invited people in. Mu Yexiao also mixed in with the crowd and walked in. He heard Yu Guang's complaint: "Princess, my name is Yu Guang, and I am the owner of this medicine garden."
"My life was originally pretty easy, but this group of people suddenly rushed in a few days ago, saying that Mr. Lin in the court had taken a fancy to my herb garden and wanted to force me to buy it for 100 taels."
"But my medicine garden is the lifeblood of my family. My ancestors have relied on this medicine garden for survival. Let alone a hundred taels, I won't sell it even if it's eleven thousand taels."
Qian Jiujiu raised his eyebrows: "So, you have been planting this medicinal garden for many years, so why was it targeted this year? Do you know the reason?"
Yu Guang nodded fiercely: "I know, and the leader knows too. He said it. He said there will be a drought in the north this year, and many people will starve to death or get sick."
"So Mr. Lin took a fancy to the medicine in my garden and planned to make a fortune with this batch of medicine."
Qian Jiujiu looked at the leader and said, "Can Yu Guang's words wrongly accuse you? Who is this Uncle Lin?"
Qian Jiujiu had just arrived and had been living in the backyard. How could he not know who this Uncle Lin was? The leader was surprised to see that Qian Jiujiu did not even know who their Uncle Lin was.
He actually dared to come forward, and couldn't help but laugh: "Princess, I advise you not to get involved in this matter. Do you know that our Master Lin's aunt is the current virtuous concubine?"
Xianfei? When Qian Jiujiu heard this, her eyes lit up immediately, but Mu Yexiao beside her already understood who this Mr. Lin was.
It seems that Concubine Xian's family is also involved in this. She couldn't help but look at Qian Jiujiu, but Hongling knew this Mr. Lin.
She couldn't help but whisper in Qian Jiujiu's ear who this Uncle Lin was: "Princess, this Uncle Lin is the child of the Third Prince's uncle, but he was adopted into the Lin family."
"And this Master Lin is a man of many evil deeds, often doing this kind of thing, but everyone thinks that the Liu family and Concubine Xian are behind Master Lin, so they dare not speak out."
The corner of Qian Jiujiu's mouth twitched. He was just an adopted child, but he dared to act so recklessly. This showed how powerful the Liu family was.
It is normal for the emperor to be wary of the Liu family. Mr. Lin is the daughter of the Liu family who married into the Lin family, but was unable to have children, so she directly reported her brother to the family.
Isn't this girl from the Liu family the sister of Concubine Xian? She is also a tough head of the family in her husband's family.
Qian Jiujiu was speechless after hearing this and looked at the leader: "Your master is Uncle Lin? Uncle Lin wants to occupy other people's medicine garden again, just to deal with the drought in the north?"
"You actually want to make this kind of fortune, and you dare to target this princess. You simply don't know whether to live or die. This medicine garden belongs to this princess. Go back and tell your master Lin."
"This medicine garden is for me. Let her stay where she wants."
The leader was at a loss when faced with this situation. In the past, only Uncle Lin robbed other people's things, but now, there is someone who dares to rob Uncle Lin's things.
Several leaders looked at Qian Jiujiu. The other party was the Princess Xiao. In terms of rank, she was of the same first rank as the Concubine Xian. However, the Concubine Xian was the emperor's woman, but she was not favored.
But everyone can see that Prince Xiao dotes on Princess Xiao. He even dragged his sick body to the Shangshu Mansion to pick up his princess. And what happened afterwards also showed it clearly.
Princess Xiao has the final say in Prince Xiao's Mansion. As long as Princess Xiao wants something, Prince Xiao will give it to her. Uncle Lin will definitely not be able to snatch it from the emperor's son.
The leader didn't even dare to say a few harsh words, and just walked away with his men in disgrace. Qian Jiujiu watched them leave, feeling a little unhappy, and just let this group of people go.
But although everyone knew that it was done by Uncle Lin, with the presence of Concubine Xian and others, it would at most be a lot of trouble. However, on Uncle Lin's side.
It is not cost-effective to just push a few servants down to convict them, so even if Qian Jiujiu feels unhappy, she will not do anything further, but just look at Yu Guang's family in front of her.
"Yu Guang, you guys get up. Since everything is fine now, I will leave first."
Qian Jiujiu was about to leave when she said that. Yu Guang and his wife looked at each other, then suddenly knelt down and looked at Qian Jiujiu: "Thank you, Princess, for saving my life."
"Although I have driven him away this time, if he comes again next time, I will..."
Qian Jiujiu was a little unhappy when she heard this, and her face darkened: "What do you mean? This princess saved you once, are you relying on this princess?"
Yu Guang and the others were shocked by Qian Jiujiu's sudden change of expression. Even Yue Niang was shocked, looking at her cousin-in-law, she didn't know what to say for a moment.
Yu Guang gritted his teeth and looked at Qian Jiujiu: "That's not what I meant. What I meant was that this pill should be given to the princess."
Qian Jiujiu was stunned for a moment, then she snorted coldly: "Who do you think I am? The same as that Master Lin? If I need medicinal herbs, I will grow them myself."
After saying that, he ignored Yu Guang who was kneeling on the ground, and turned around and left. Qian Jiujiu really didn't mean to take advantage of others.
Yue Niang watched the princess leave and left immediately, while Yu Guang and his wife looked gloomy. The princess did not accept their medicine garden, so what about their medicine garden
Now it's like a big cake and everyone wants to take a bite.
He looked at his wife and said, "Wife, what should we do now?"
Madam Yu also sighed: "Let's talk to Yue Niang, but now Yue Niang has to accompany the princess, so let's wait a little longer. Maybe we can transfer half of the medicine garden to Yue Niang."
"Think about it, Yue Niang is the princess's person, so doesn't that mean the princess has accepted her? If Yue Niang is in trouble, the princess will naturally not sit idly by."
Yu Guang looked at his wife and said, "My wife is really smart. Let's do this."
Qian Jiujiu, who was leaving, didn't know about the little thoughts of Yu Guang and his wife. She was just feeling a little depressed and walked in front with her head down.
