Xiao Yu took one look at the situation and could tell they were clearly looking for trouble.
"What do you mean I drugged Yan Qing with some magical potion? It was Yan Qing himself who shamelessly showed up at my doorstep begging for food, and not just his meal; he brought the Emperor’s and the Crown Prince’s portions too. With such powerful backing, why wouldn’t I take advantage? You think I’m easy to bully?"
As four burly men approached her, Xiao Yu sneered coldly. Just as one of them was about to grab her shoulder, she seized his arm and delivered a solid judo throw, knocking him out cold on the spot.
When the other three lunged at her, she kicked one hard and grabbed the collars of the other two, hurling them out as well.
All four guards were swiftly dealt with, and some of the bolder onlookers even clapped and cheered.
Xiao Yu turned back with a smile, then turned again to mock the clappers, sweeping her gaze over the Commandery Princess who was so frightened she had to be supported by her maid.
"Come at me all together, will you? You said I was arrogant, right? Well, today I’ll show you just what arrogance is! You don’t know whose establishment this is? Or are you feigning ignorance, trying to stir up trouble and then play the victim before Prince Qing to gain some attention? Do you think you’re a fairy or a beauty, hiding behind that veil with all your pretense? I don’t hit women, but if a woman like you has no sense of decency and oversteps her bounds, then don’t blame me for not being polite. Get lost!"
Princess Yijia trembled with rage, her delicate fingers pointing at Xiao Yu as she spoke with a breathless and nasal tone.
"How dare you, completely disregarding me as a princess, do you even know who I am?"
"Oh, I know. Didn’t your people announce it like dogs barking to everyone here that you’re Princess Yijia? So what about being a princess? This is Prince Qing’s place, are you mightier than Prince Qing? It’s none of your business if he comes here to dine in his own restaurant. What’s with your loud and pompous act? Do you think you are the future Princess Qing? If you are, then please have Prince Qing himself come tell me, so I show you the respect you deserve. Otherwise, what are you doing apart from ruining your reputation by meddling in Prince Qing’s affairs? Ha, you accuse Prince of degrading himself, so what does that make your behavior? Throwing yourself at him?"
"You, you, you lowlife, I’ll kill you! Get up, all of you, get up! Tie him up for me, tie him up!"
However, because this woman was so enraged, Xiao Yu guessed that she had probably never been this angry before, and she fainted from being unable to catch her breath!
Xiao Yu couldn’t hide her disdain: "Your fighting skills are really not up to par, huh? You have the nerve to bluster here, but you can’t hold your ground. What a waste!"
Once the Commandery Princess fainted, the maids and old women panicked, calling for help and loading her onto the horse carriage, still spouting bold statements as they left.
"See if we don’t, watch how our Prince deals with you!"
Xiao Yu chuckled coldly, "Alright then, I’ll just wait and see how your Prince comes to deal with me!"
The reason why Xiao Yu was so confident was entirely because she relied on Yan Qing as her backing. Even if Yan Qing didn’t care about her, she still had her ’space’. Inside the ’space’, there were guns and ammunition; as a person who had actually come from the modern era, was she going to lose to these ancient people who bullied others with their status?

People need a face just like trees need bark, and this shameless woman was truly despicable. Just hearing her underlings drive people out, calling them paupers, was enough reason for Xiao Yu to discipline them.
