Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

Five finger marks quickly appeared on Lin Jingshu's left cheek, very distinct.

Ning Zhiwei took a look and nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, now it's symmetrical, no need to thank me."

She still remembered the push Lin Jingshu gave her.

She usually doesn't hold grudges because she returns them on the spot!

Lin Jingshu's tears flowed down her cheeks. She was so ashamed and angry that she even wanted to kill someone.

Ning Zhiwei, I will never coexist with you.

Marquis Dingyuan was heartbroken and furious. Without saying a word, he raised his fist and swung it at Ning Zhiwei.

Before he could get close to Ning Zhiwei, Xiao Linfeng slapped him away. "You want to go to jail by using force in front of this commander?"

Dingyuan Hou took several steps back, his head burning with anger, and shouted angrily, "I am her father. It is only natural for a father to teach his daughter. Commander Xiao, please don't interfere in our family affairs."

Xiao Linfeng was full of contempt. He distanced himself from the matter when there was something going on, but used this set of etiquette to suppress Ning Zhiwei when nothing happened. What a scum.

"Does the law recognize this? She is the Princess of Jingning County appointed by the Emperor himself. If you mess with her, you will bear the consequences yourself."

The etiquette and law do not recognize their father-daughter relationship! Even the emperor can't do anything about it!

The title of a county princess is of the second rank, and her status is second only to that of a princess and a county princess. You can't beat her just because you want to.

Marquis Dingyuan's hand paused in the air, his expression changing from time to time, becoming extremely ugly.

Ning Zhiwei sneered. He thought that they always jumped out to disgust others. He would be sorry if he didn't severely torture the father and daughter.

She covered her stomach with both hands and screamed, "Ouch, my stomach hurts so much, I'm going to faint from the pain."

Dingyuan Hou and his daughter were stunned. What the hell? "Don't pretend..."

Ning Zhiwei took out a snack box with the Phoenix Tower logo on it and complained angrily.

"I got food poisoning from your Phoenix Restaurant. Just tell me how you're going to compensate me."

With a stroke of genius, Xiao Linfeng's mouth curled up slightly and a smile flashed in his eyes. He was really smart.

Dingyuan Hou was furious. He was dreaming when he came to beat someone up in the middle of the night and used such a flimsy excuse to justify himself.

"Ning Zhiwei, I'm your biological father. Are you crazy if you blackmail me?"

"My father died a long time ago, so don't try to make friends with him." Ning Zhiwei sneered. Is he worthy of this? "You only deserve a daughter like Lin Jingshu who is selfish, cold, hypocritical, and will stab you in the back at the critical moment."

Lin Jingshu's eyes turned red, and she looked at Dingyuan Hou aggrievedly, "Father, don't blame my sister. Someone must have instilled these bad things in her since she was a child. It doesn't matter if I get beaten, as long as she is happy."

The more she compromised, the angrier Marquis Dingyuan became. "Ning Zhiwei, look at Jingshu. She is also my daughter, and she is good in every way. You are just like your mother who died early..."

Ning Zhiwei slapped Lin Jingshu with all her strength, and it was extremely loud.

Don’t talk about her mother no matter what, he doesn’t deserve it!

She couldn't beat the old man, so she had to pay for her father's debt.

Lin Jingshu was stunned by the beating. She was slapped twice more? Her face was about to split in pain. Was she going to be disfigured?

"Ning Zhiwei, you lunatic..."

Ning Zhiwei blew on her red palm and frowned slightly. It hurts. She will let someone else do it next time.

"I have food poisoning, and there's a witness."

"Who?"

Xiao Linfeng just stood there, his aura fully open, cold and chilling, "I."

"Commander Xiao, you..." Marquis Dingyuan's face froze, and he was puzzled. Why did he side with Ning Zhiwei?

But now that the other person has stood up, does he dare to say anything?

"I accept the compensation. How much do you want?"

Ning Zhiwei and Xiao Linfeng looked at each other and exchanged glances.

"Use Phoenix Tower to compensate."

Good fellow, the lion opened his mouth so loudly that Marquis Dingyuan's face turned red with anger. "Ning Zhiwei, you are so bold. Do you know who owns the Phoenix Tower?"

"Of course it's you."

Marquis Dingyuan’s mind was racing. Something was not right. Why did Xiao Linfeng get involved?

Xiao Linfeng’s identity is too special, and everything he does represents the emperor’s will. Could it be... the emperor?

Impossible. The emperor is extremely wealthy, how could he possibly look down upon a restaurant?

"No, it's owned by the Imperial Concubine. Whose restaurant do you think can be named after the word Phoenix?"

Ning Zhiwei glared at him, "You are talking nonsense. This dynasty stipulates that people in the royal family cannot do business and compete with the people for profits."

Marquis Dingyuan was very nervous but he remained firm in his words.

"The palace knows about this, so you have made a wrong calculation."

He just waited until dawn and asked his wife to deliver a letter to the palace to inquire about the situation.

Ning Zhiwei sighed helplessly, "Alright, I will go and beat the drum tomorrow to sue the Imperial Concubine for competing with the people for profit..."

Throwing these words, she turned and left.

Marquis Dingyuan's legs went weak and he almost knelt down before her when he heard the drum again.

As the drum sounded, heads of people were killed rolling down.

Help! Living King of Hell, little ancestor!

"I'll give you one thousand taels of silver. Take it and see a doctor."

Ning Zhiwei kept walking and sneered, "One thousand taels to send off a beggar."

"Then how much do you want?"

Ning Zhiwei then stopped and held up a finger. "One million taels."

Dingyuan Hou's eyes went dark. How dare she ask that? She was not worth that much!

"You are a thief who robbed me of money. You don't have any money, but you have my life. Even if you report me to the palace, I am right."

Unexpectedly, Ning Zhiwei smiled sweetly, "Commander Xiao, please tell the emperor that I will hand over the one million taels of silver to the national treasury, and I don't want a penny."

Dingyuan Hou: ...

So, it is really the Emperor who has set his sights on the Phoenix Tower?

He shuddered at the thought, "I only have 100,000 taels."

"Let's do some calculations." Ning Zhiwei went to the Phoenix Tower today and knew a little about the situation inside.

Fifty tables a day, two hundred taels of silver per table, thirty days would be 30 taels. After deducting the cost, half would be profitable.

The Phoenix Tower was open for six years and made at least 900 million taels of silver.

This is a huge sum of money. The national tax for one year is only five million taels.

Dingyuan Hou was so anxious that his face turned red and his neck became thick. "How can there be two hundred taels for a table? Besides, the expenses of various talent shows every day are very high. Not only do we have to invite famous artists, but we also need music, lighting, stage design, etc. The waiters and staff all have to spend money."

"The profit will not exceed 10%. I usually spend a lot of money and don't save much..."

Xiao Linfeng was impatient to listen any further, "Five hundred thousand taels, get ready, I'll come back tomorrow."

Sure enough, as soon as they left, Marquis Dingyuan was impatient to pass on the news to several families.

The Empress Dowager’s maiden home, the Crown Prince’s uncle’s home, the eldest prince’s uncle’s home, Furong Garden.

The next morning, this information was delivered to the emperor, and his face instantly turned as black as charcoal.

They are all worry-free things.

Just when the court was in session, some tactless people jumped out.

"I am reporting to the Princess of Jingning County for causing trouble at the entrance of Furong Garden, which caused a stampede among the people and resulted in heavy casualties. Please punish her according to the law."

"I am reporting that Princess Jingning is ignorant of manners, arrogant, and has only selfish interests in mind. I beg the Emperor to deprive her of her title of Princess and demote her to a commoner."

"I second the proposal..."

When the emperor saw these imperial censors jumping out, he became suspicious.

Are they the Queen Mother’s people, the princes’ people, or... Su Mingjin’s people?

Are you using him as a gun? Haha.

"Why did I hear that the mastermind behind this is Miss Lin from Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion?"

The whole audience was stunned. What did this mean?
