A few days later, Princess Zhaoyang's residence.

The princess said to Chen Shimei with a sad face:

"I shouldn't listen to your ploys. What should I do now? Cao Bin is going to hand over this business to others."

"If this is all, I'll just pay it back. If this matter spreads, I won't be able to see anyone."

Chen Shimei quickly advised:

"Princess, don't worry, we will just compensate him."

"As long as the princess shows some apology, he will not deny her face."

"After all, the Queen Mother gave him such an expensive gift!"

When the princess heard this, she looked at him speechlessly and said:

"Why don't you go? I don't want to lose face!"

Chen Shimei spread her hands and said with a smile:

"Am I not as dignified as the princess?"

"The princess also knows that Cao Bin is barbaric and rude,"

"If I get beaten by him, the princess will be embarrassed, right?"

"It's better to go to Princess, he won't be rough with you."

The princess sighed helplessly and said:

"He can give us 10% of the profit, which is already the highest price in Bianliang. This time it is really not worth it."

Chen Shimei forced a smile and said, "Princess, please feel aggrieved."

Princess Zhaoyang glanced at Chen Shimei, feeling very helpless.

The prince-in-law is more than ten years older than her, so if something goes wrong, she has to take action to solve it herself.

Who calls herself a princess?

Although she was a little dissatisfied, she also understood Chen Shimei's concerns, so she got on the carriage and went straight to the school outside the city.

In addition, she also brought tens of thousands of taels of silver notes and planned to compensate Cao Bin several times.

As long as Cao Bin does not terminate the cooperation, they will be able to earn back soon.

This was the first time for Princess Zhaoyang to enter the military camp. She was both novel and shocked when she saw the manly shouts and shouts everywhere.

As a princess, she shouldn't have entered the military camp area, but in desperation, she didn't care so much.

Following the guards to the commander's tent, he heard the melodious music of silk and bamboo playing inside, and saw that Cao Bin did not come out to greet him.

Even though she was a little apologetic, she couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied, and casually complained to the female officer next to her:

"Cao Bin is too leisurely? He is training soldiers, but he is enjoying himself there!"

When the guard heard this, he stopped and said angrily:

"Uncle Cao has worked hard for his brothers, what's wrong with taking a break?"

"Even if you are a princess, you cannot slander my uncle."

She didn't expect that an ordinary soldier would dare to shame herself.

For a moment, she was frightened by his expression, and the female officer beside her involuntarily took two steps back.

Seeing this, the followers quickly stood in front of her and shouted angrily:

"How dare you be rude to the princess? Are you seeking death?"

The soldier was not afraid at all, he drew his sword and shouted:

"My uncle said that the military camp is our territory."

"Except for Your Majesty, anyone who dares to attack us can be shot without mercy if he wants to rebel."

As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of soldiers rushed over and surrounded Princess Zhaoyang and her party.

When Princess Zhaoyang saw the sword and gun pointed at her, she turned pale with fright and felt quite regretful.

She did not expect that Cao Bin himself was arrogant and rude, but his subordinates were also two hundred and fifty.

She is a dignified princess and the emperor's sister.

Are they desperate? Dare to attack yourself like this.

Just when she was at a loss, Cao Bin walked out of the tent and scolded:

"What are you doing? Don't you know this is a princess? Get out of here."

When the soldiers saw Cao Bin coming out, they immediately retreated like quails.

When Princess Zhaoyang saw this, she was a little reluctant, but she didn't dare to say anything more. Now she understood a little bit what it means to be as powerful as a mountain.

To these soldiers, my status as a princess seems to be a bit invalid.

Seeing Cao Bin looking at her, Princess Zhaoyang felt a little embarrassed and said:

"Cao Bin, I... I'm here to apologize!"

Seeing her like this, Cao Bin smiled secretly in his heart, and it was indeed useful to show off his power.

If it hadn't been for the scene just now, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to let go of her identity as a princess.

After entering the camp, Princess Zhaoyang completely relaxed and revealed her purpose:

"Cao Bin, I know that we were wrong in what happened earlier. I am willing to compensate you fifty thousand taels of silver."

"Can we just let this matter go? We promise that nothing like this will happen again."

Cao Bin turned around and sat on the couch, showing a meaningful smile:

"There is no need to worry, princess."

As he spoke, he picked up a stack of information from the table and said, "Princess, please take a look at these things before we talk."

Princess Zhaoyang took the information in Cao Bin's hand doubtfully and lowered her head to read it.

Slowly, her eyes became more disbelieving, and then she said angrily: "How could this happen?"

Asking Princess Zhaoyang to help attract business, Cao Bin offered a fee of 10% profit, which was also the highest price in the tooth shop in Bianjing City.

She and Chen Shimei did some tricks and concealed half of the profit.

Originally, she felt that such a small amount of money was not worth it, but after reading the information Cao Bin gave her, she realized why Chen Shimei was so persuasive.

In addition to this, he actually recruited some craftsmen and privately affiliated them to Cao Bin's "Construction Camp".

Use the name of the construction camp to make money yourself.

If the investigation had been carried out later, it might have allowed him to grow and prosper.

Of course, this matter was not led by him, otherwise he would not have the confidence to hide it from Cao Bin and push Princess Zhaoyang out.

It's just that it's not written on the information in front of me...

Cao Bin sighed and said:

"Princess, it's not that Mr. Cao doesn't give you face, it's that you have gone too far."

"By doing this, Prince Consort Chen will not only steal our profits, but also tarnish the reputation of our construction camp."

"If something goes wrong, you can run away and leave me in the construction camp to take charge."

Princess Zhaoyang was so angry that she gritted her teeth and hesitated to speak. Not only did she ask you to take charge, I also came to take charge.

I originally thought that this was a mistake made by both myself and the consort, but I didn't expect that the consort had another plan.

Cao Bin stared at her and said:

"Princess, we can't take the blame, so I plan to clarify this in Da Song Daily."

Princess Zhaoyang said anxiously: "You won't announce me and my consort, will you?"

Cao Bin spread his hands and said:

"Cao has no choice. This business is actually owned by the military."

"You have to give people a credible excuse, otherwise wouldn't it be embarrassing to the court?"

The princess quickly waved her hands and said:

"No, don't do it. Where will this put me?"

Cao Bin sighed, shook his head helplessly and said:

"Princess, you can't let us take the blame for you, can you?"

Princess Zhaoyang was on the verge of tears at this time:

"The trouble is big. At this time, the loss of property does not matter. If it is published in the newspaper, my reputation will be ruined."

Looking at Princess Zhaoyang's worried expression.

Cao Bin was secretly proud:

If you want to poach me, don't blame me for treating you the same way.
