Qin Mingjie shook his head in disbelief and then turned to County Princess Anxi.
He and his family had been brewing wine for Restaurant Jixian for generations. After the young master passed away, the Qin Family had been brewing wine for the Elder Princess. Unexpectedly, the Elder Princess intended to get him killed just to win the bet.
He was the only son in the Qin Family.
Restaurant Jixian had not been doing well these years, so he had been too busy making the wine to even get married. If he got killed, what was his mother supposed to do?
Qin Mingjie kept shaking his head as he retreated. “No, no, I was not sold to Restaurant Jixian as a slave. I wanted to eat it because they told me it helped! But they are trying to get me killed!” Then he pointed at County Princess Anxi. “You are such a fierce woman!”
County Princess Anxi was not pleased when she was blamed. She had not expected that the pill her mother gave to her had a wine worm. She thought it was just an ordinary pill that would help him to get better, but so what?
“Yes there is a wine worm inside, so what? You are a servant, and you should do whatever your master tells you to! When you are dead, the Elder Princess will definitely treat your family well. How can you be such a coward as a servant? You don’t even dare to make a sacrifice!” County Princess Anxi snapped in displeasure. They had spent so much money supporting Restaurant Jixian, and now those servants did not do anything for them! How useless!
Hearing County Princess Anxi’s words, the audience was very annoyed.
Yes they might be servants, but why did they have to be killed? Also, this man was not even her slave! Just look at how evil she was!
Hearing these words, Anxi got very displeased. She pointed at Qin Mingjie and then at Gu Chaoyan. “You b***h, it is all your fault!”
“Anxi!” The Elder Princess snapped, as she looked at County Princess Anxi. She was too late to stop Anxi from making such a rude speech.
Anxi stopped saying anything as the Elder Princess was here.
The Elder Princess looked at Qin Mingjie and said, “I bought this pill from a businessman at a high cost, but I did not know that the pill had such a secret! I had never opened the pill, so I did not expect that it would be like this. If I had known that the pill would get you killed, I would never have given it to you!” Then she glared at County Princess Anxi. “Anxi, apologize to Brother Qin!”
Anxi pursed her lips and mumbled.
The Elder Princess was extremely angry. She said with an apologetic tone, “Anxi has been very spoiled by Empress Dowager, please don’t mind her behavior.”
Now that the function of the pill was discovered they were definitely going to lose the bet. Since they were losing the bet, she was trying to keep Qin Mingjie so either he or his name could help to sell the wine for Restaurant Jixian.
Qin Mingjie calmed slightly – so the Elder Princess had no idea what this pill was.
“So, Elder Princess, you said that you bought this pill from a businessman at a high cost... actually, you can get a pill to reduce the drunkness from a very ordinary pharmacy, so if you spent so much money on one pill, why didn’t you ask the businessman what this pill could do?” Gu Chaoyan asked with a dubious tone.
The Elder Princess might be intimidating for others, but Gu Chaoyan was not intimidated. She had already offended the Elder Princess, and she was not afraid of worsening the whole matter. Normally, she would extinguish people like County Princess Anxi, who kept causing harm to others.
