After returning from rebirth, the eldest sister of Hou family destroyed her household registration b

Chu Huanyan felt choked in her heart. Although she had heard a bit about Princess Rongchang's style, she was not in the imperial city, but there were always rumors of various deeds.

But looking at the confident and arrogant steward in front of her, Chu Huanyan still had a hard time imagining what Princess Rongchang would be like.

Turning to look at Xiao Jinzhi, Chu Huanyan said: "Is this a routine operation of your aunt?"

Xiao Jinzhi shrugged helplessly, "I don't know much about it, but...it doesn't seem to be unusual."

After all, I heard that Emperor Xiao had killed her face before, but Aunt Rongchang went straight to the Jinluan Palace in the morning and refused to give in. In the end, Emperor Xiao lost face and left the early court in anger, but even so, she was not punished.

"His Royal Highness, Miss Chu, and the servants are also acting under the princess's orders. In fact, it is just a shop. Why should Miss Chu argue with the princess? Wouldn't it be better to give up the shop and sell a favor?" The manager smiled. He opened his mouth as if this was a rare opportunity to please. If she didn't cherish it, Chu Huanyan would be foolish.

"What if I don't want to?" Chu Huanyan raised her eyebrows slightly, "Is it possible that this steward really wants to close my shop directly?"

Hearing Chu Huanyan's words, the person in charge subconsciously frowned and looked at Chu Huanyan with a strange expression, as if he didn't expect that the other party actually wanted to confront the Princess Mansion head-on.

But when he turned his eyes and saw Xiao Jin standing aside, he suddenly showed a bit of understanding.

That's right, they have already climbed up to His Highness the Crown Prince, and they think they are safe.

The manager didn't say anything more to Chu Huanyan, but turned directly to Xiao Jinzhi.

"Your Highness, you also know Princess Rongchang's temper. Besides, she is your elder after all. She is just a small shop. You..."

"This shop is not alone. Of course, I can't be the master." Xiao Jinzhi interrupted the steward.

The steward's eyes lit up, "With His Highness's words, this servant will feel relieved. Since Your Highness will not interfere..."

"What I said was that I couldn't make the decision. How could I ever say that I wouldn't interfere?"

"Your Highness, what do you mean?" The steward's expression was complicated.

"It means that this matter is up to me. If I am willing to let it go, then I will let it go. But if I don't want to..." Chu Huanyan paused slightly, looked sideways at Xiao Jinzhi and smiled, "Then, Your Highness, I would like to come. I probably won’t just sit idly by.”

"That's natural." Xiao Jinzhi answered quickly.

The steward frowned and looked at Chu Huanyan and Xiao Jinzhi, "This servant also obeyed Her Highness the Princess's order. Her Highness the Princess will be back soon. Before that, the surrounding area will be demolished, so why bother Miss Chu?" Being a roadblock will make Her Royal Highness unhappy."

"I don't intend to stand in the way, but this cloth village is running well, why should I let it go? What's more, now that the imperial city has been hit by a disaster, the post-disaster reconstruction has not yet been completed. At this juncture, Princess Rongchang is building a large construction project for a villa. It's not appropriate." Chu Huanyan looked calm, but her tone was obviously cold.

She didn't know what other shops and people thought, but Princess Rongchang was too unscrupulous to occupy such a large area in the imperial city.

"Can……"

The steward's frown became more and more intense. Chu Huanyan didn't give him a chance to finish his words and spoke directly to the waiter in the shop.

"Ask them out."

"Miss Chu, don't go too far!" The man in charge suddenly grimaced.

After so many years, as a servant of Princess Rongchang's Mansion, he has never been kicked out yet!

Xiao Jinzhi finally glanced at the steward again, and the next moment, he said coldly: "Qin Li, throw the person out."

"Yes." Qin Li immediately accepted the order.

Without waiting for the steward to resist, he grabbed his shoulder and threw him directly outside the shop.

The expressions of the servants who followed behind all changed. Although they were used to showing off their power inside, they were facing His Highness the Crown Prince after all. They did not dare to take action, so they could only leave the shop in a hurry. to help the steward.

The steward blushed angrily, dusted himself off, and glared at Qin Li fiercely.

"You wait!"

After saying that, he turned to Xiao Jinzhi and said, "Your Highness, I will truthfully report today's events to the princess."

Xiao Jinzhi raised his eyebrows nonchalantly, "Whatever."

The steward gritted his teeth and quickly left with a few servants under the watchful eyes of the onlookers.

"Cousin, if Princess Rongchang really returns to the imperial city after such a quarrel, will she be in trouble?" Chu Xixu frowned and said in thought.

"Then do you think we should give up this village?" Chu Huanyan looked at him and asked.

To be fair, Chu Xixu did a good job during this period. Not only did he manage his business in an orderly manner, but he also behaved appropriately. He seemed to have completely different personalities from Chu Huaishan.

Chu Xixu was silent for a moment, then slowly shook his head and said: "The location of this shop is good. If we really give it away like this, we will suffer a lot of losses. It is not cost-effective no matter what. Moreover, there is such arrogance in the imperial city. The land is a bit infuriating.”

Whether it's for profit or loyalty, it seems that it shouldn't be given up like this, but...

"But if Princess Rongchang is really offended by this incident, I'm worried that she will cause trouble for her cousin in the future. If in the end, not only the shop is lost, but also people are offended, then it is really not worthwhile."

"Now that Princess Rongchang has not returned to the imperial city, it is still unclear what her thoughts are. But if a few servants just threatened to give up the shop, it would be too cowardly. Not to mention the random demolition of shops. Things are not something that can only be achieved by success. You should do your business well first and don't panic. If anything happens, just let someone know." Chu Huanyan comforted her.

After all, she was at the feet of the emperor, so she wanted to see how arrogant the people in Princess Rongchang's mansion could be.

Although this cloth shop is just one of the shops under her control, even if it is really gone, it will not have much impact, but the other shops and houses that are included in the scope may not be affected.

If she gave in like this for a so-called favor today, others would have to give in even more.

After leaving Buzhuang, the people watching had dispersed. When Chu Huanyan got on the carriage, she stopped and turned to look back.

"I will send some people over to guard this shop secretly." Xiao Jinzhi said.

Chu Huanyan nodded, and after getting into the carriage, she looked at Xiao Jinzhi who walked in and asked, "Why is Princess Rongchang so arrogant?"
