Meng Jiu took the booklet and went to the Cui family with a dozen maids.

She even prepared a gong, and upon reaching the Cui family's gate, she began banging it. "Everyone, come and see! The Cui family is not returning Princess Shanzhen's things!"

The sound of the gong attracted many people to stop and watch. The Cui family's gate opened, and the doorman came out and asked, "Who are you?"

"We are from Princess Shanzhen's mansion. Tell your masters to return all our princess's things immediately!"

The gatekeepers have become very arrogant recently. Before, there was Princess Shanzhen, and now there is Princess Rongchang. They are all chasing after their husbands and are also becoming more and more arrogant.

"That was given to our prince by your princess voluntarily. How can you take it back? It's unreasonable. Leave now! Otherwise, we will report it to the police!"

Meng Jiu sneered, "Then report it! Whoever doesn't report it is a grandson!"

The concierge was a middle-aged man, fat and strong. He saw that Meng Jiu was a woman and did not take her seriously at all. He said angrily, "You bitch, you are looking for death!"

He jumped in front of Meng Jiu, hugged her waist, and wanted to do a somersault to smash Meng Jiu's head.

Unfortunately, he tried to hold her but she didn't budge. He tried again, but she still didn't budge. He uttered a cry of "hmm" and heard Meng Jiu sneer, "You bastard, you're so cold-hearted and evil. Fuck your father, just die!"

The man screamed as he was thrown into the air by a sudden force and then fell headfirst!

"what--!"

"Snapped--!"

The man's head hit the ground with a bang, and he was hit hard. His body fell to the ground like a dead pig, blood slowly flowing out from under him, and he was completely dead.

The onlookers screamed, "Murder!"

Meng Jiu was not afraid at all and kicked the man. "Don't worry, you won't die. You all saw what happened just now. He hit me first. I was just fighting back."

The other doorman saw nothing wrong and hurried into the yard to report.

A woman opened the book and read aloud, "Listen, everyone! How much did the Cui family take from our princess? Every shop on Suzaku Street!"

Another woman chimed in, "Hey, how come there's still a shop?"

"The Cui family is poor, so they can only cheat the princess's shop to make money for themselves! Two Duan inkstones from Zhaoqing, Guangdong!"

"What does Cui Hao need so many inkstones for? He's already a Jinshi (Jinshi)?"

"High school is bullshit! Cui Hao is just a nobody! Let me tell you, other people use inkstones to write, but Cui Hao eats them, so he must be a ruthless person!"

The people around burst into laughter, "Hahahahahaha——!"

The maids read from the booklet and belittled the Cui family. People around them listened with great interest, occasionally exclaiming, "This Cui family is really greedy!"

"That's right, he actually asked for so many things from Princess Shanzhen!"

"Hey, they took the princess's things and then dumped her. The Cui family is really bold!"

"Haven't you heard? Cui Hao is with Princess Rongchang again. He's got a backer, so he's not afraid!"

Soon a group of people rushed out from Cui's house. They were Cui's mother, Cui Hao, Cui Yi and others.

Cui's mother shouted, "What are you looking at? Leave now! Otherwise we will report you to the police!"

The servants chased the onlookers away. Cui's mother said with a sullen face, "What is Princess Shanzhen's intention? First she sent something to our family, and now she's making such a big fuss about taking it back. Is she deliberately trying to humiliate us?"

Meng Jiu replied, "Cui Hao first showed his affection to our princess, then embraced Princess Rongchang and left our princess aside. This is humiliating our princess and trampling on her dignity!"

Cui's mother choked up. It was true that they were in the wrong, but it was absolutely impossible to ask them to return the things!

"Anyway, there's no reason to take back what was given to us!"

In fact, it’s not that Cui’s mother doesn’t want to give it, but she really can’t. Some of the food and daily necessities are still okay, but most of the valuable calligraphy and paintings, rare antiques and the like have been given as gifts by Cui’s father, and she can’t give them back at all. Can she ask others for them back?

Meng Jiu sneered, "Then we'll spread the word throughout Chang'an, letting everyone see the true face of Qinghe Cui Shi! Let's see how you can still boast of your noble family status! How can you still marry a princess!"

Cui's mother panicked, and Cui Hao also became anxious. He jumped out and said, "We're still here! We're still here!"

"Take them all out!"

"Time is short, can you allow us to pack up a few things and return them another day?"

Meng Jiu threw the booklet to them and said, "I'll give you three days. We'll come get the things after three days! If you can't get them, hmph, just wait!"

She walked away with her men in a swagger, with people around pointing and talking. The Cui family carried the doorman in and quickly closed the door.

The Cui family looked through the booklet and were also surprised. They had asked for so many things from Princess Shanzhen without realizing it. How could they return them?

Cui's mother said, "Master, what do you say we should do?"

Father Cui frowned and said, "Hao'er is going to marry a princess soon. We absolutely cannot let this ruin his marriage. If you can pay it back, pay it back. If you can't, just convert it into cash!"

Cui Yi said, "Dad, Mom, I won't return the jewelry Princess Shanzhen gave me!"

The Cui family is not wealthy, but they uphold the reputation of being noble, so they dress in a minimalist style and rarely wear jewelry. But not wearing jewelry does not mean that they don't like it, it's just that they don't have the money to buy it. All of Cui Yi's precious jewelry were given to her by Zhao Yuanqing.

Mother Cui touched the jade bracelet on her hand. This was also given to her by Zhao Yuanqing, and she was reluctant to return it.

"Master, those things are very expensive, and they cost a lot of money. We don't have that much money!"

In fact, the Cui family could have come up with the money themselves, but they just didn't want to pay and wanted to find someone to take it for them.

The three members of the family all turned their gazes towards Cui Hao.

"Hao'er, it's all up to you!"

"Brother, I'm counting on you!"

"rely on me?"

Cui Hao understood. "You want me to go find Princess Rongchang and ask her to pay for it?"

"That's all we can do, Hao'er. The jewelry from the shop is fine; we can just return it. But those rare books and calligraphy by famous artists have already been given away. We absolutely cannot take them back! We don't have much money at home, so we can only ask Princess Rongchang for help!"

Cui's mother said, "Hao'er, Princess Rongchang likes you very much, if you coax her a few words, she will be like Princess Shanzhen. Take out the money, and our family's difficulties will be overcome."

"I'll go find Princess Rongchang and see if she's easy to coax."

"Why is it so hard to coax? Come on, let me dress you up nicely so that Princess Rongchang will fall in love with you at first sight! When a woman is moved, she'll agree to anything a man says!"

After the mother and son left, Cui Yi said, "Dad, Princess Shanzhen's outburst this time has really embarrassed us. We have to find a way to teach her a lesson!"

Father Cui also had the same idea, "Does Yi'er have any good ideas?"
