Chapter 299: The Result?
The Elder Princess got extremely furious. She was born the Elder Princess, a woman with a very n.o.ble social status, respected by the ministers in the court, but now, those low-level civilians were trying to turn against her, how dare they!
“Someone!” With a sunk face, the Elder Princess decided to ask her guards to imprison all of these people. She did have many guards with her.
Hearing the order, the guards came surrounding her. “Please, Elder Princess.”
The Elder Princess was about to say something, when the tipsy Zhou Huaijin, who had been silently watching the show, spoke. “What does this mean, Elder Princess? Are you trying to go against the civilians’ wishes? You are demeaning King Father! If you beat those civilians today, my King Father would be the topic of complaints among them!”
That was a very heavy accusation.
The Elder Princess was suddenly speechless.
She turned to Zhou Huaijin, looking both annoyed and confused – she was his aunt, a part of the imperial family and his family! What was he doing helping someone else? Did he fall for this b.i.t.c.h?
That would be so ridiculous! This b.i.t.c.h was so nortrious, no one with a social status in the city would marry her, but he fell for her and defended her!
Well, well, well! The Elder Princess was wearing an unfriendly smile on her face.
She looked at Gu Chaoyan. “It is impossible to make Anxi kneel down, think about something else, as a compensation.” Despite Zhou Huaijin’s presence, the Elder Princess still sounded very intimidating. She knew pretty well that she was the Elder Princess, the younger sister of the King.
County Princess Anxi was her daughter and if she did not approve of the proposal, Gu Chaoyan would not have any way to make Anxi kneel down. Also, if that happened, the Gu Family and Gu Chaoyan would be hated by the King, once he heard the story.
Gu Chaoyan frowned. She hated this time when power meant everything. She did not even get any justice on such a small thing as betting, just because Anxi had a n.o.ble social status.
Alright, if that is what she wanted, Gu Chaoyan would remember this grudge and take revenge later.
She released her fist and said indifferently, “If that is the case, give me 100,000 instead, so 150,000 in total. If the Elder Princess thinks that County Princess Anxi’s knees are very valuable, 200,000 will do too.”
“You...” The Elder Princess got so angry that she became speechless.
She took a deep breath, then she nodded. “I will get the money for your mansion.”
“Give it to Lord Huai’s Mansion, Lord Huai can save it for me.” Gu Chaoyan smiled and then raised her eyebrows at County Princess Anxi. “It seems that County Princess Anxi once said that if you lost the bet, you would stay away from Lord Huai. Saint College rejected you, so I hope that you can keep your vow from today on.”
“You!” County Princess Anxi was about to curse Gu Chaoyan as she pointed at her, when Zhou Huaijin stood up and took Gu Chaoyan into his arms. “Since the deal is done, Elder Princess, do remember to deliver the money to my mansion. Me and Chaoyan have other business, so we are off now.”
Then he left with Gu Chaoyan.
Fu Bao and Sword One stood behind them, stopping County Princess Anxi from approaching them.
They had just returned to Yellow Crane when Manager Song greeted them with a look of anxiety. “How did it go?”
