The steward's mouth twitched, "Mr. Li, you are not very kind by doing this, right?"

Li Dongjia looked at the steward with a half-smile, "I know that the Sunshine Cloth Factory is owned by Princess Yu. Princess Yu is a princess of the first rank. She wouldn't be so narrow-minded as to not let me buy it, right?"

"This……"

The steward didn't know how to answer, fearing that a wrong answer would ruin the princess's reputation in front of so many people.

"From now on, each person is limited to buying two horses."

A female voice came from above.

Everyone looked up and saw a woman in a blue dress standing in the second-floor window of the restaurant opposite.

She had a hibiscus face, hill-like eyebrows, a straight and upturned nose, skin as white as jade, and her jet-black hair was simply tied up with a golden chrysanthemum hairpin, which sparkled in the sunlight.

Her eyes were cold and condescending, with unquestionable strength and beauty.

"I pay my respects to Princess Yu."

The manager's loud shout startled and stunned everyone present.

Everyone reacted and knelt down together, "We pay our respects to Princess Yu."

"Get up and talk."

After leaving these words, Su Yinyue left the window.

Before going downstairs, he called a guard over and gave him some instructions.

The guard's expression became serious, "I will do it right away."

At the door of the store, Mr. Li was a little flustered as he had not expected Princess Yu to come in person.

But when he thought about the unsold inventory, he hesitated to leave.

He just didn't believe that Princess Yu would dare to kill him in front of so many people!

At most, he can be more respectful.

The crowd automatically parted, leaving a path for Su Yinyue to walk to the front.

"Mr. Li, please go to the back."

Just as Li Dongjia made up his mind, he saw her coming straight towards him without even saying a word of courtesy.

He immediately bowed, but his words were completely opposite to his actions.

"I don't know what I said wrongly to anger the princess and want her to take me to a deserted place and kill me?"

Yu Xiang heard the trap in his words and scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about? Princess——"

Su Yinyue raised her hand to stop him and said calmly, "Mr. Li, you cut in line. I asked you to stand at the back and queue up. Is that wrong?"

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out that Mr. Li had misunderstood. They said that Princess Yu would not kill anyone over such a small matter.

Li Dongjia glanced at the densely packed crowd and thought to himself that if he really ran to the back, the cotton cloth would probably be sold out by the time it was his turn.

He quickly laughed it off, trying to gloss over it.

"Princess, I want to buy all the cotton cloth. I am a big customer of your Sunshine Cloth Factory. Big customers don't have to queue up, right?"

Su Yinyue replied calmly, "The Sunshine Fabric Factory limits the purchase of two pieces per person. Without big customers, everyone has to queue up."

"Mr. Li, you are also a commoner. I will treat you equally. You and the servants you brought with you can each buy two rolls of cotton cloth."

Shopkeeper Li blurted out, "How can that be enough? My cloth shop ships three hundred pieces a day!"

With the dozen or so servants around him and himself, they couldn't even buy fifty horses.

Su Yinyue looked at the people gathered together and said, "If we sell them all to Mr. Li, you won't be able to buy them. Tell me, should I agree?"

The people are just uneducated, not stupid.

Someone immediately shouted, "No!"

"I don't agree! We can't sell them all to Mr. Li, we want some too!"

Seeing that the people were angry, Butler Li was furious and said, "Princess, the market price of cotton cloth is 200 coins, but you insisted on selling it for 80 coins. You are competing with the people for profit!"

"I, I want to sue the Jingzhao prefect!"

"You wear silk and satin, but the people around you can only wear linen. I, the princess, allow the people to wear cotton. This is clearly for the benefit of the people."

Su Yinyue mobilized the enthusiasm of the onlookers, "If you reduce the price of the cotton cloth in the cloth shop to 80 wen, won't it be sold? Don't you think so?"

Everyone's faces turned red with excitement at the thought of being able to buy such cheap cotton cloth in the future.

He raised his arms and shouted, "Yes! Eighty cents!"

"From now on, cotton cloth will be sold at eighty cents!"

Butler Li couldn't argue with her, so he started to play the victim, "Princess, you were born noble, you don't know the hardships of the common people's lives!"

"I priced the cotton cloth at 200 coins. Of course it's worth 200 coins! If you really sell it for 80 coins, I'll have to pay for my pants!"

"I still have hundreds of weaver girls under my command, my lady princess, please give them a chance to live."

"That's easy." Su Yinyue waved her hand, "You can ask your weaver girls to come work in my cloth factory."

Butler Li was stunned. He was trying to steal my girl in public?

Su Yinyue patted his shoulder and said, "If you can't survive, you can come to work in my cloth factory."

Li Dong's cloth shop not only sells cotton cloth, but also linen, silk, gauze, and satin.

Without cotton cloth, I would just earn less money, but I could still survive.

But if you make less money, you'll be tearing his heart out!

"Princess Yu, you are so shameless to come out and do business in public!"

Butler Li was quick-witted and quickly thought of another way to attack Su Yinyue.

"A woman should be gentle and virtuous. You are not serving the prince in the palace, but you come here to stand among the men. You are not a woman of virtue!"

"Oh, Princess, you have so many men around you, and the prince is not here. You came down from the restaurant. What are you doing with these men?"

Everyone had originally gotten an advantage from the cotton cloth, but they didn't expect this. Now that someone mentioned this, many people looked at Su Yinyue with strange eyes.

Some people even began to feel fortunate that although their wives could not make money, they could stay at home and not embarrass them.

The heated atmosphere immediately quieted down.

Some people also looked at Yu Xiang and others.

The naked gaze made them feel ashamed and their faces burned.

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Cao Yun stood in front of Su Yinyue and glared at Li Dongjia, "I came out with my sister."

Mr. Li didn't take the little brat, who was not even as tall as his chest, seriously at all and talked even more excitedly.

"My Lady Princess, your face and your body belong to the prince, but now you are letting me and other outsiders see them."

"By the way, you just put your arm around my shoulder. Your behavior is dissolute and really despicable. If all women were as shameless as you, wouldn't the world be in chaos?"

Su Yinyue pinched Cao Yun's shoulder and pulled him aside.

She blinked at Li Dongjia and smiled gently, "What you said makes sense, so what should I do?"

The princess admitted her mistake with humble attitude, which greatly satisfied Li Dongjia's machismo.

He licked his big face, "It is a great virtue to admit one's mistakes and correct them. Princess, you should just stay in the palace and serve the prince in the future, and don't show up in public again."

Su Yinyue looked at the people who acquiesced to Mr. Li's words and said, "I will learn from Mr. Li's pearls of wisdom."

"Manager, please close the Sunshine Cloth Factory. From now on, everyone should go to Mr. Li's cloth shop to buy cotton cloth for 200 wen."

!! ?

When it comes to their own interests, everyone raised their heads and looked at Li Dongjia with angry eyes.

Not going out of the front door or the back door and not having contact with men outside the family are the rules of wealthy families and have nothing to do with poor people like them.

They can’t make a living, so why can’t the women at home go out and find a job?

Li Dongjia didn't know that he was about to face the justice of the masses and continued to speak nonsense.

"That's right. Doing business is also a man's business. Princess, you have no worries about food and clothing, and you have a high status and honors. How can you--"

Before he could finish his words, a stone hit him on the head.

Then an angry voice rang out from the crowd, "Shut your dog mouth!"
