Although the leader in front of ger was dressed the same as the refugees, on a closer look, the flesh on his neck was still very tender. He did not look like a refugee who had experienced a disaster.
Ning Yue already had a guess that this person was very useful.
The real refugees had already sat down, leaving only the leader and another person behind.
“Everyone, sit. I’ll be here and answer your doubts. You just have to wait for a while. In any case, you’ve already waited for the entire night and have eaten and drunk your fill. Don’t tell me you won’t be able to wait for another ten to twenty minutes?” Ning Yue said with a smile.
The leader was rendered speechless by Ning Yue’s words. He gritted his teeth. No matter how unhappy he was, he could not flare up, because his role now was that of a suffering refugee.
Uncle Su, who had been ordered by Ning Yue, came over with a few thick books. “Princess, these are what you wanted.”
Ning Yue took it and flipped it open. She looked at the leader again. “What’s your name?”
“My name is Li… Oh, my name is Puppy,” the man said.
Ning Yue chuckled, not planning to expose this man.
“Very good. Just now, you said that the chair you were sitting on was shabby, right?” Ning Yue asked him with a smile.
For some reason, the leader, who called himself Puppy, felt his heart stop for a moment. He was a little flustered.
“Princess, that’s not what I meant. I just think…” He wanted to say something, but he couldn’t explain. He had already said what he had just said, and Ning Yue had targeted his sore spot.
“What about you? There are so many witnesses. Do you want to deny it?” Ning Yue slapped the handle of the chair.
With a snap, everyone was so frightened that they did not dare to speak.
Puppy was frightened by Ning Yue. As he breathed, his eyes darted around and he said, “Princess, that’s how it is. Do you despise the poor and love the rich?”
Ning Yue couldn’t help but sneer. This person’s logic was not bad. If she didn’t give them a good chair to sit on, she would be despising the poor and loving the rich?
“Do you know? I have the accounts of the Prince Jin’s Residence in my hands in recent years. The combined salary of the Prince and Prince Consort Jin is only 15,000 taels of silver. The salary of the servants is 3,000 taels of silver a year. The rest of the money is for the people in the Prince Jin’s Residence to eat and drink. Do you know how many servants there are in the prince’s fief and the two residences?”
“Princes still have to replenish some military supplies from our own pocket. You’re here to cause trouble again. I heard from the heir that you’ve been here more than once or twice. How much money do you think we still have to give you good chairs to sit on?”
Puppy answered without thinking. “Nonsense! If that’s the case, what about the princess’s chair?”
If they could buy a superior-class chair, couldn’t they buy an ordinary chair? The chairs they were sitting on was the worst kind.
“You bastard! You look down on me, the princess conferred by the emperor emeritus. Your crime is not small.” Ning Yue sneered.
Puppy hurriedly knelt on the ground with an aggrieved expression. “Princess, you can’t bully the commoners nonchalantly, casually, and indifferently. We’re just talking about the chairs.”
He kowtowed and cried. This scene was as if Ning Yue was someone who bullied others with her power.
“I’m Princess Mingyue. It’s reasonable for me to sit on this chair. The most valuable thing in Prince Jin’s residence is what the emperor personally bestowed. Do you think I’m lying to you? Do you want me to sell the things bestowed by the emperor to buy you a chair?” Ning Yue asked.
At the side, Uncle Su looked at Ning Yue in shock. The princess’s words seemed to make sense, but he kept feeling that something was strange.

Puppy was about to say something when Ning Yue interrupted him. “Not only do you look down on me, but you also look down on the current emperor. Someone, tie him up and gag him with a rag. Take the token of the Prince Jin’s Estate to meet the emperor! Tell the emperor everything that happened here.”
Hearing Ning Yue’s words, Uncle Su hurriedly got the guards to tie him up.
Letting the emperor know about this was to use the emperor’s hand to give those who had crooked thoughts a warning. She believed that when this group of refugees entered, regardless of whether there were masterminds from other countries behind them, the officials in the capital would be involved!
With so many people coming in, did they think she was blind? Since she couldn’t stop them, they couldn’t blame her for being rude..
