Chapter 298 - Failure 4
Chapter 298: Failure 4
Interrogated by a nameless young girl, the Elder Princess’s expression sank. She threw a displeased look at Gu Chaoyan. “Oh yeah? Do I have to tell you everything?”
Gu Chaoyan rolled her eyes inwardly. No wonder County Princess Anxi was so arrogant – she had inherited this “merit” from her mother!
“Elder Princess, your Restaurant Jixian and my Yellow Crane are in a contest. Am I not even allowed to ask you one more question when you are found cheating? So if we the commoners are not allowed to get any fairness, why come to us for the contest at the very beginning?” Gu Chaoyan countered without showing any fear.
The Elder Princess had an even worse expression on her face.
Zhou Huaijin, who might be slightly drunk, came to Gu Chaoyan and turned to the Elder Princess with a cold look on his face. “Elder Princess, you better give us a proper explanation.”
With Zhou Huaijin present, the Elder Princess was not as arrogant as before. She almost forgot that he was here.
She thought for a while…
“It is an accident, but it is Restaurant Jixian’s fault. So we lost the bet, and we are not going to sell any liquor in the future. In the meanwhile, we are compensating 50,000 yuan to Yellow Crane.” The Elder Princess stated her arrangement.
That sounded nice. It was enough for Yellow Crane. As for Qin Mingjie, he was going to deal with the Elder Princess himself.
Gu Chaoyan nodded.
The Elder Princess let out a sigh of relief. Qin Mingjie was her man after all, and she could deal with him later. At the moment, what she needed to do was to solve the urgent issue.
If the girl nodded, then it meant that the issue was solved.
The Elder Princess was about to ask her staff to return to Restaurant Jixian, when Gu Chaoyan added. “But… at Restaurant Jixian, it seems that County Princess Anxi has to kneel down on the street in front of Restaurant Jixian and shout that she is a b***h.”
Hearing what Gu Chaoyan said, the audience cheered up. That was a County Princess she was talking about. That was the most exciting part of the bet!
The Elder Princess could not utter a sound for one moment. She now understood why Anxi disliked Gu Chaoyan – she was indeed an annoying person.
Who did she think she was… for Anxi to kneel down for her?
“That is impossible, Anxi is part of the imperial family and she doesn’t kneel down for anyone. You won’t get your justice even if you turn to the King.” The Elder Princess snapped arrogantly. She was definitely not going to agree to this request, otherwise she would lose face for the entire imperial family!
Gu Chaoyan sneered. “So you are trying to cheat again?”
“…”
“If you, a family member of imperial court, can not kneel down for anyone, why did you start a bet like this? Did you try to cheat so you could win and I would kneel down?” Gu Chaoyan interrogated.
“So what?” County Princess Anxi snapped with a natural tone.
“The king once said that if someone makes a mistake, despite their identity and social status, they should bear the same responsibilities as the civilians. The King is respecting us commoners, but the Elder Princess and County Princess Anxi are not! You are mocking us!” Gu Chaoyan said with a loud voice.
The audience heard that too. They were all commoners and they felt empathy with Gu Chaoyan.
“Same responsibilities! Same responsibilities!” They shouted loudly.
