Xiao Yu was sitting at the counter doing the accounts, a skill she had learned from Uncle Yuan that required a lot of practice. So, whenever she had some free time, she would be at the counter, calculating first with an abacus, then double-checking by doing the calculation again in her head or on paper. Only when the results matched could she prove to herself that she had truly mastered it.
Princess Yijia?
Xiao Yu looked up and saw the guards were already starting to drive away the customers at the nearby table. She frowned and spoke out to stop them unhappily.
"Pauper? My dear customer, whom are you calling a pauper? Is this your territory? By what right do you demand my guests get out?"
The guard was stunned, clearly not expecting a commoner to dare defy them in the presence of the Commandery Princess. His eyes widened with anger.
"How dare you! Princess Yijia is here, how could you be so insolent? Kneel down at once!"
