Fish only seek revenge, not leap over the Dragon Gate

After hearing what the Fourth Princess said, the people looked at Lu Ping with some displeasure. She was indeed trying to blackmail them.

Lu Ping was not in a hurry. She bowed to the Fourth Princess and said, "If you don't believe me, please wait a moment. I will ask someone to invite Master Yuan over."

The fourth princess was in a very happy mood at the moment. She had finally caught him and she had to vent her anger.

When I heard that she wanted to invite Master Yuan over, I didn't think she could do it at all. She was just bluffing and deliberately delaying time.

"Okay, then I'll wait. If Master Yuan admits in person that he made the furniture in the fabric shop, then I'll definitely compensate him according to the bill."

Lu Ping bowed, "Thank you, Princess."

She looked back at Er San, who nodded and walked away using his Qinggong skills.

Master Yuan lived in the capital, which was a bit far from the princess's mansion, but Ersan's Qinggong was very good and he brought Master Yuan here in just a quarter of an hour.

Master Yuan was originally a farm boy named Yuan Hu. Even after he became Master Yuan, he did not change much and remained as simple as before.

Now he has just become an old man as he has grown older.

He was wearing a gray short shirt, his face was dark and wrinkled, and his eyes were full of honesty.

On his way here he heard what had happened and bowed to the Fourth Princess.

The fourth princess asked, "Are the furniture in Qin Shu's dowry shop made by a master?"

"In reply to the Fourth Princess, I don't know whether it is true or not..."

Hearing this, the Fourth Princess's eyes were filled with joy. She interrupted him and blamed Lu Ping.

"Did you hear that? Master Yuan said he didn't know." The fourth princess looked pleased with herself for exposing them.

"So, what crime should you be punished for? My brother is fair and ordered me to pay ten times the price, but you betrayed the emperor's grace and tried to blackmail me."

"Come here, arrest them all and send them to Jingzhao Prefecture."

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of guards rushed out of the princess's mansion and were ready to capture Lu Ping and the others.

The people also retreated in an instant, fearing that they had caught the wrong person.

Lu Ping and others did not panic, but Master Yuan became anxious and tried to stop the guards from arresting people.

Because the other party had the title of master bestowed by the previous emperor, the guards did not dare to hurt him and were a little hesitant.

"Fourth Princess, I haven't finished what I want to say..."

The fourth princess heard what he said, but she didn't want to hear what he hadn't finished, as she felt that hearing it would be disadvantageous to her.

"Master, there is no need to say more. This princess will teach them a lesson and make sure they never dare to blackmail others under your name again."

Master Yuan, who was always cautious and had no sense of presence, couldn't help but feel a little angry after hearing this.

If he is not allowed to finish his words today, the Qin family will be arrested. The Qin family is one of his only bottom lines and they must not be bullied.

He cleared his throat and shouted, "Stop it, everyone. Although I don't know whether it is true or not, I just can't draw a conclusion because I haven't seen the furniture. It doesn't mean it's not true."

His roar startled everyone.

Lu Ping and others were also surprised. This was the first time they saw Master Yuan calling someone "Master Ben".

He has always been a humble person. If people who don't know him don't know that he is the Master of Wood appointed by the late emperor, they would just think he is an old farmer.

The Fourth Princess' eyes darkened, but she had to ask the guards to stop arresting people. After all, so many people had heard it.

She said in a cold voice, "Then please finish your speech, Master Yuan."

After that roar, Master Yuan seemed to have lost all his energy and turned into that timid old man again.

"Yes, I'll finish my words now."

"Everyone knows that I am from a farming family. Later, because of my carpentry skills, I was given the title of master by the late emperor."

"But before I was named a master, although I had carpentry skills, I only learned a little bit from the old people in the village, and I was far from being worthy of the title of a master."

""Later, when I was twelve years old, I met Master Qin. Seeing that I had talent, he brought me into his mansion and personally taught me the craft of carpentry."

Speaking of this, the people were all sighing, it turned out that Master Mu was the apprentice of Master Qin!

It is no surprise that Miss Qin’s dowry shop has his furniture.

The Fourth Princess's face turned completely dark. Why was the Qin family everywhere?

Master Yuan continued, "At that time, I wanted to ask Master Qin to be my teacher, but Master Qin said it was not necessary. He said that he taught me the skills so that I could make furniture for the Qin Mansion."

"Later, Master Qin not only provided the skills, but also provided the wood used for learning."

"I devoted myself to making furniture. It took me fifteen years from the beginning to the end. I don't even know how many pieces of furniture I made in these fifteen years."

After this was said, everyone knew that the furniture in that shop was probably made by Master Yuan.

The fourth princess clenched her fists and then chuckled, "Even if it was done by Master Yuan, it was done before Master Yuan became famous. I think his skills might not have been mature at that time."

"Of course it's not worth that much silver."

Lu Ping stepped forward calmly and saluted, "If the Fourth Princess doubts this, you can send someone to check. Every work made by Master Yuan has a hidden date."

“You only need to look at the date to know whether it was made before or after he became a master.”

Master Yuan followed suit and said, "Yes, I have this habit. I hide the date on every piece of work."

The Fourth Princess saw Lu Ping's expression and knew that it was probably true, but she still wanted to struggle.

"Someone, check the date."

A guard took the order and went to the cloth shop, and Er San followed him. She had to be careful that he would break the date and deny it.

More than half an hour later, the guard came back and explained the date. It was indeed made after Master Yuan became famous.

The fourth princess had no choice but to accept it. She got the bill and saw the high prices of the damaged items on it. She was so angry that her head hurt.

How rich is the Qin family? Even a store of theirs is so luxurious. Even she doesn’t have a high-definition full-length mirror.

When she entered the store and saw it, she became jealous and in a fit of rage she ordered people to smash it.

If she had known that she would have to pay 30,000 taels of silver for a mirror, she would never have smashed it on impulse.

Instead, he could move back to the mansion and return it eventually, so he wouldn't have to spend so much money.

With so many people watching, she couldn't deny it at all. She was so heartbroken that she told the housekeeper, "Give them 170,000 taels."

After saying this, he walked towards the mansion with unsteady steps.

When Lu Yu received 170,000 taels of silver, he couldn't stop smiling.

Lu Ping on the side was also very excited, "Young lady, do you know that our cloth shop only has an annual income of 6,000 taels of silver?"

"It's amazing that I've earned more than 20 years of money in one go."

Lu Yu smiled and nodded, "Well, if there are still those powerful people who are looking for trouble next time, I will kill them mercilessly."
