The daughter of a general is reborn to save the whole family of the marquis

Princess Pingyang was wearing a goose yellow gauze dress, surrounded by pearls and jade, looking very noble. Behind her, there were countless servants, making the scene even more grand.

Chu Heyi and Xie Lin stepped forward and saluted.

Seeing this, the others also knelt down and saluted: "Greetings, Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Dongfang Jing's gaze swept from Xie Lin and Chu Heyi, then looked at the people kneeling on the ground behind them, and he felt much more relieved.

Since she was a child, there have always been people bowing to her, and she has long been accustomed to it.

But the scene of everyone kneeling and paying respects to her today made her feel a lot more special. No matter how capable and famous Chu Heyi had been before, and no matter how favored by Xie Lin was, as long as she appeared, Chu Heyi had to kneel and pay respects to her, and was always inferior to her.

"Everyone, get up." Dongfang Jing said in a light tone.

Her condescending look made the atmosphere at the scene very cold. Although the wine workers all stood up, no one dared to speak.

This is exactly the effect Dongfang Jing wants.

She wanted everyone to know that she dominated everything, including Chu Heyi and even Xie Lin.

After scanning everyone, Dongfang Jing said, "A lot of rice has been fermented. Are you preparing soju?"

Chu Heyi replied: "Yes, Your Highness."

Dongfang Jing sneered, "Did I ask you? I was asking Lord Xie. Lord Xie, last time I came here, I forbad them to ferment so much rice, but they didn't listen to me. Today, there will be a serious waste."

Xie Lin's voice was as cold as ice. "Even if it is a waste, it is between Miss Heyi and me. It has nothing to do with Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"How can it have nothing to do with me? I am the princess of Daqi, and you are all my people. If so much rice was not wasted, and was given to those people who lack food and clothing, it would be a great merit. But now, such merit has been wasted by Chu Heyi, and I am really heartbroken."

Chu Heyi asked, "Why do you keep saying that I would waste so much rice? All this fermented rice is used to make liquor. As long as we make good liquor, how can it be considered a waste?"

Dongfang Jing walked up to her and sneered arrogantly.

“Although you are now the daughter of the Zhenbei Marquisate, you grew up in the countryside and have been exposed to all kinds of things. Maybe you can make wine, but you definitely can’t make good wine. Otherwise, when you were in the countryside, you would have used good wine to improve your life.

"You can't make good wine, but you want to ferment so much rice. Isn't this a waste? You are not spending your own money, but Mr. Xie's money. So you don't feel bad?"

Chu Heyi said, "Just because I couldn't make wine before doesn't mean I can't make wine now. Before we even start making wine, Your Highness, have you already concluded that I can't make good wine?"

"I have already explained the reason. I dare to conclude that you can't make good wine! You just want to use the wine-making business to get the attention of Master Xie. I advise you to give up!"

Dongfang Jing held his head high and chest out, very proud.

The crowd began to whisper.

"The Lady of Cheng'an County doesn't know how to make wine? Then what is she going to teach us?"

"It sounds like the Princess of Cheng'an County pretended to be able to brew wine and opened this winery in order to make Lord Xie look at her more."

"The status of the Cheng'an County Lord is not low, why would she do something that lowers her status?"

"But compared to Her Royal Highness the Princess, her status is still too low. Maybe she and Her Royal Highness the Princess are competing for Lord Xie? I think Lord Xie is really handsome. I am over 40 years old and my heart still beats fast when I see him."

"You are such a shameless woman, you dare to even dream of Mr. Xie."

A small group of people started laughing, but quickly covered their mouths, not daring to disturb the nobleman in front.

However, because of Dongfang Jing's words, everyone began to doubt Chu Heyi, and believed that opening a winery to brew wine was just a means for Chu Heyi and Dongfang Jing to compete for Xie Lin.

They originally thought that after the winery opened, they could work here for a long time, which would be a stable and rare livelihood.

As a result, now they feel that their dreams are shattered.

Chu Heyi took a step forward and looked directly into Dongfang Jing's eyes: "What if I don't give up, Your Highness, what will you do?"

"Then you can brew wine. When everyone has seen and tasted the wine you brew, if they find it is not up to standard, you will have to give up even if you don't want to."

Dongfang Jing said firmly: "When the time comes, you will pay double the amount of money you have lost to Master Xie!"

He then sarcastically said, "In addition to the rice, the tools used to open this winery and the wages of the wine workers must have cost more than 100,000 taels of silver, right?"

Chu Heyi: "It's so funny. Lord Xie didn't ask me to pay compensation, but Your Highness the Princess, as an outsider, asked me to pay compensation. Who are you to Lord Xie?"

Dongfang Jing said angrily: "Because I am your princess, I must uphold justice! You wasted Mr. Xie's money, so you must compensate. This is an order I issued as a princess who saw injustice!"

Chu Heyi smiled slightly and said, "Besides paying double compensation to Lord Xie, does the princess ask me to do anything else?"

Dongfang Jing stared at her closely and said coldly, "I want you to stay away from Mr. Xie from now on. Don't pester or seduce him anymore!"

Chu Heyi continued to ask: "What else?"

What else? Dongfang Jing was confused by her question. Shouldn't Chu Heyi be nervous at this time?

Why is this the reaction?

Or did Chu Heyi know that she was doomed, so she prepared herself mentally in advance?

Dongfang Jing became more and more proud: "When the time comes, you kneel down and beg me to spare you once, and then the matter of opening a wine shop will be over."

Chu Heyi asked her: "Okay, Your Highness Princess has already said the punishment for me not being able to make good wine. So if I make good wine, should Your Highness Princess accept the punishment?"

"With you? Do you think you can make good wine?" Dongfang Jing smiled contemptuously.

Chu Heyi said: "Originally, brewing wine was a matter between Lord Xie and me, but Her Royal Highness relied on her noble status and insisted on getting involved, so the success of brewing wine became a matter between me and the princess.

"I can't make good wine, so Her Royal Highness wants to punish me. If I make good wine, Her Royal Highness should also be punished. But you are of noble status, what punishment should you receive?"

Before Dongfang Jing could speak, Chu Heyi said, "First, you are not allowed to approach or harass Mr. Xie from now on; second, you bark like a dog three times; third, the princess will pay me the same amount of silver as we spent on brewing the wine this time. How do you do it?"

Dongfang Jing shouted angrily: "Chu Heyi, you are so outrageous!!"

Chu Heyi looked at her straight in the eyes, not flinching: "I just want to ask Your Highness, do you dare or not?"
