Chapter 482: Disdain

He was worried, and it had come to this.

“What’s the matter? I happen to have something for you to do,” Wang Jinhe frowned, surprised that such a thing had happened.

“Really?”

“I’m planning to build a workshop and a school. It will take about three to four months. Take a look at the plans,” Wang Jinhe handed the plans to the man.

After reviewing the plans, the builder nodded repeatedly. “No problem. I’ll go and get the workers. But…”

“Are you worried they will come looking for me?” Wang Jinhe raised an eyebrow, looking at him.

“Yes, I’m afraid you’ll suffer later,” the builder said, looking concerned.

“Uncle, I am the County Princess. How dare they?” Wang Jinhe looked at him with a raised eyebrow.

The builder looked at Wang Jinhe in astonishment. The County Princess?

Yes, he had heard that a golden phoenix had flown out of the Xie Family Village and that the village had become prosperous, making Wang Jinhe the County Princess.

He was the one who had helped her build houses several times.

At first, he thought the news was wrong, but now he realized it was all true.

“County Princess…” the man quickly knelt down to pay his respects, but Wang Jinhe refused.

“No need for formalities. Get ready and come over to see the site. Calculate how many bricks, tiles, and silver you’ll need.”

“Alright.”

The man left happily.

Wang Jinhe watched him leave, feeling helpless as he left her behind.

“Yuan Xu, let’s go back,” Wang Jinhe said helplessly.

“Aren’t you worried about them causing trouble for you, madam?”

“There’s nothing to worry about. If they dare to come, I’ll send them all to the prison.”

This uncle and his workers were very serious about building houses, and the houses they built were sturdy and beautiful, so everyone was willing to hire them. If anyone tried to play tricks because of this, she wouldn’t agree.

However, Wang Jinhe didn’t think much about it. The news of them taking on the project quickly reached the ears of the group of people. The leader of the group was furious upon hearing the news. Despite their situation, someone dared to give them work. It was as if they were being looked down upon.

So, they came to Xie Family Village to find Wang Jinhe. When they arrived, everyone’s expressions were unfriendly. It was because of the people from Xie Family Village that they had fewer projects.

“Did you give the work to Old Cai?”

“Yes, I did,” Wang Jinhe said coldly, giving the other person a disdainful look.

“We also build houses. Not only that, we can guarantee a lower price and better quality than them. Give us the work instead,” the statement sounded more like a notification to Wang Jinhe rather than a negotiation.

Wang Jinhe looked at them indifferently and said, “I really don’t think much of you.”

“You…”

Wang Jinhe smiled and said, “That’s just who I am.”

“You don’t know what’s good for you. You’ll regret this,” the person said, preparing to take action.

At that moment, Yuan Xu arrived with his men. “What are you planning to do?”

“Yuan Xu, go and fetch the county magistrate. Don’t let anyone here leave, and if anything of mine is damaged, they will have to compensate a hundredfold,” Wang Jinhe said, looking at the furious group with a half-smile.

The threat turned the other party pale with anger.

Why not go for the hundredfold compensation?

And she even wanted to report them to the authorities?

“You want to report us? I have connections in the yamen,” the other person said arrogantly.

“Oh, so you have connections. Then I’m even more curious to see how powerful your connections are. Yuan Xu, go,” Wang Jinhe said.

“Yes, madam.”

After that, Wang Jinhe ignored them and continued with her tasks, waiting for the county magistrate to handle the situation.

Initially, the other party was not afraid, but as time passed and they saw Wang Jinhe’s fearless demeanor, they began to feel uneasy.

“I… I won’t argue with you. Let’s just forget about this,” the person said, turning to leave.

Wang Jinhe chuckled softly. “You cause trouble here and then want to leave like this? Even If you don’t want to argue with me, I’m sorry, but I want to argue with you.”

“I’ve let you off. What more do you want?” After leaving here, he would definitely find someone to come and teach this despicable person a lesson.

In an instant, Yuan Xu sensed the malice emanating from the other person and looked at them with a cold gaze. It seemed this person couldn’t be allowed to live.

“I want you to rot in prison, and have some free meals. You want to retaliate against me? Let’s talk after you get out of prison,” Wang Jinhe said, noticing the malice in the other person’s eyes. She didn’t care because she had no intention of letting this person come out of prison unscathed.

Not to mention Yuan Xu and the others were present.

After waiting for about an hour, the county magistrate hurried over, visibly out of breath.

Upon arrival, Wang Jinhe handed him a cup of tea. “You don’t need to be in such a hurry. Have a cup of tea first.”

“Who dares to cause trouble for the County Princess?” the county magistrate said coldly, looking at the people in the courtyard.

“Is it them?”

“The people they maliciously suppressed and snatched away a lot of business from are the ones we usually hire to build houses. After I went to talk to them, they came to threaten me,” Wang Jinhe explained the situation briefly to the county magistrate.

The county magistrate’s expression turned extremely unpleasant upon hearing that this group of people had intruded into Wang Jinhe’s residence without permission.

“How dare you barge into the County Princess’s mansion without permission?” the county magistrate was almost furious.

The County Princess was so busy now, yet she had to deal with these trivial matters. It was their fault for not handling the situation properly.

The man who had just been boasting about his connections in the yamen turned to Wang Jinhe, his face pale and his voice trembling. “You… You’re the County Princess?”

Wang Jinhe looked down at him. “What? Don’t I look like one?”

“I heard that this person has connections in the yamen. I’m curious to know who gave him such authority. How dare he use the yamen to threaten ordinary people,”

When the country magistrate heard it, his face frowned deeply.

Ruo, who was sitting on the ground, was almost furious. Is she was an ordinary person?

The county magistrate’s expression tightened. “Is this really happening?”

“Yes.”

The county magistrate turned to the people around him. “Do any of you know this person?”

One of the attendants glanced at the man on the ground and spoke up, “He’s the steward’s nephew. He often comes to see the steward.”

Upon hearing this, the county magistrate’s expression turned even more unpleasant. It turned out to be the steward’s nephew from the yamen?

“County Princess, rest assured, I will definitely handle this matter thoroughly when I return,” the county magistrate said.

However, before the county magistrate could leave, the steward hurriedly arrived with a group of people. “Who dares to bully my nephew?”

Wang Jinhe, with a hint of interest, propped up her chin and said, “It’s me. What are you going to do about it?”
