"Master, how could you hand over the butler's key and account book so easily?"
Baishao poured a cup of tea and handed it to Lin Mengya. Her beautiful eyes were full of doubts.
Lin Mengya took the teacup and took a sip unhurriedly.
"Don't you feel that Concubine De is different this time?"
Lin Mengya sipped the tea while thinking about what happened today.
Yesterday, Concubine De gave her a warning at the gate of the mansion.
Today, Concubine De asked this old woman to make trouble.
Moreover, Jiang Ruqin was also brought back. It seemed that this was not a sudden decision.
"I also feel strange. Concubine De was really angry that day. I don't think she would forgive her so easily."
Baiji was the most careful person, so she was not as angry as Baishao.
However, the atmosphere in the room was a little depressed.
"Lass, why is that woman here?"
All the people outside had left. Qinghu came in.
He asked about Jiang Ruqin as soon as he saw her.
That woman was always thinking of ways to harm his little girl. If it wasn't for the fact that his little girl wanted to keep her alive, she would have already become a ghost by now.
"I don't know. Let's not go out today."
In fact, Lin Mengya was a little tired after a few days of hard work.
It was better to have a good rest during these days.
"Besides, it's not easy to be the head of the mansion. Baishao, you've worked hard recently. Let's have a good rest. "
Speaking of being the head of the mansion, Baishao looked like she was waiting to see a good show.
She knew that there were at least hundreds of people in Prince Yu's Mansion.
Besides, the most valuable things in Prince Yu's Mansion were in her private room.
Every master had a private room, which did not count as a public room. Even the cleverest housewife couldn't cook without rice. How could Jiang Ruqin play the empty fort strategy?
"Master, you're right. You can be the head of the mansion."
Except for Baishao, no one knew what Lin Mengya meant.
However, in the eyes of outsiders, Liuxin Courtyard was a little dilapidated.
"Congratulations, Miss. You finally got the right to be the head of the mansion."
In the courtyard of the Art Courtyard, Jiang Ruqin was looking at the key in her hand smugly.
No matter how angry her aunt was, she was still her family.
That jinx would only make her cousin more and more unlucky. Her aunt also saw this clearly, so she brought her back.
What was even more unexpected was that as soon as she returned, she was asked to take over the Prince's Mansion.
That woman would never have thought that she would have such a day.
"Bring me the account books. Also, get the stewards of each branch to report back tomorrow morning."
"Yes, Miss."
As long as she controlled everything in the manor, whether it was her cousin or that woman, she could do whatever she wanted to them.
Unfortunately, this complacency didn't last until the next day, when something happened in the mansion.
"Miss Biao, we don't have enough ingredients in the main kitchen. We need you to take a look."
Before dawn, the old maid in charge of the kitchen came to Jiang Ruqin's courtyard to report.
"These things, you can do as you see fit. Why do you need my Miss to care?"
Liu 'er, Jiang Ruqin's new maidservant, stood at the door and said unhappily.
The housekeeper in the kitchen had been in the mansion for a long time.
She was shrewd and tactful. Immediately, she smiled apologetically.
"Miss Biao, you've really misunderstood me. Our mansion is different from other places. We have to be careful with what we eat and what we use. In the past, it was Miss Baishao, the princess's maid, who went to check in person. Please don't make things difficult for me. If something goes wrong, I can't bear the responsibility. "
The old maid was telling the truth. A new batch of ingredients had to be imported into the mansion every three days.
Some fishes and shrimps had to be imported every day.
Although Baishao was not present every time, it had to be arranged properly.
She had just come from the Liuxin Courtyard, but they said that Miss Biao would be in charge of these things in the future.
God, this was a strange story.
How could they hear that an unmarried cousin would be in charge of the mansion?
What a rich and powerful family. It was not something that servants like them could understand.
"Liu 'er, since Madam Fan has eaten so much, I'll go with her."
It didn't feel good to be woken up from sleep, but in order to better take charge of Prince Yu's Mansion, she had to put on an act.
Unexpectedly, when she went to the kitchen, before she could finish checking. The stewards of each room took turns to show up.
In the laundry room, she had to check everything, from the soap to the spices used in the lavender.
In such a big mansion, Jiang Ruqin had to take a look at all the trifling things.
"I'm exhausted. I think those people did it on purpose."
After a busy morning, Jiang Ruqin finally had time to take a sip of water.
Liu 'er massaged Jiang Ruqin's numb legs. Even so, Jiang Ruqin felt as if she was about to fall apart.
"In my opinion, it doesn't seem that they deliberately made things difficult for you. Maybe it's because you've just taken charge of the family business, so they don't know your temperament, so they ask for instructions. "
Although she was very reluctant in her heart.
But Jiang Ruqin also understood that what Liu 'er said was true.
But if she continued to be so busy, she would be exhausted to death.
"Forget it, forget it. I'll get used to it. By the way, I'm going to have a rest. I'll pay my respects to my aunt in the afternoon. "
Jiang Ruqin rubbed her waist. She couldn't bear the burden.
But before her head touched the pillow, there was a knock on the door.
Liu 'er went out to have a look. Then she turned back and said helplessly,
"Miss, the stewards of each courtyard are outside. They said that they're going to give out the monthly allowance today. They're waiting for you to give them the money. "
"Monthly allowance?"
Jiang Ruqin rolled her eyes and a faint smile appeared on her face.
She heard that there was so much money in the vault of Prince Yu's Mansion that even the corners were full.
Thinking that the money would be under her command in the future, she suddenly became energetic.
"Let's go to the vault and have a look."
Jiang Ruqin was dumbfounded as soon as she walked into the vault.
The rows of shelves were completely empty. There was not a single trace of silver in sight.
"Where's the money? Where's the money? "
Jiang Ruqin shouted. The maid in charge of the vault immediately came back and reported,
"In reply to Miss Biao, the money has been moved to the princess consort's small treasury."
Jiang Ruqin searched for the key to the small vault, but she couldn't find it.
Jiang Ruqin was furious. It turned out that she was fooled by Lin Mengya!
"Come with me to the Liuxin Courtyard to get the money!"
At this moment, Lin Mengya had expected such a situation.
When Jiang Ruqin arrived at the door, Lin Mengya had already asked the servants to close the door.
"Lin Mengya, open the door!"
Jiang Ruqin, who was flustered and exasperated, called Lin Mengya by her name.
She pounded on the door of the Liuxin Courtyard. Unexpectedly, the door was opened.
Jiang Ruqin staggered and almost fell in the courtyard.
"Miss Jiang, please mind your status. Although you're the steward, the princess is still the princess. If you speak rudely again, don't blame the princess for accusing you of disrespecting the clan. "
Bai Su, who looked cold, immediately broke the ice on Jiang Ruqin's words.
Although her aunt would support her, Lin Mengya was still the princess after all.
Her father had almost abandoned her because of what happened a while ago.
She couldn't get into trouble because of other trivial matters.
"I … I was just in a hurry. The princess won't be so stingy, right?"
Jiang Ruqin came to make trouble for Lin Mengya in a threatening manner, but she was scolded by Bai Su.
Jiang Ruqin felt a little uneasy in her heart.
"I'm a servant. Of course, I have no right to decide. But the princess is inside. You can ask her yourself. "
After saying this, Bai Su turned around and went back into the courtyard.
Jiang Ruqin was a little angry. Now, even a servant dared to look down on her.
She was a good servant trained by Lin Mengya!
"Miss, why are you angry with a servant? Don't forget what we're here for today."
Liu 'er tugged at Jiang Ruqin's sleeve and whispered.
Yes, she was here to get the money today.
With a cold smile on his face, he walked into the courtyard.
However, the doors of the main room and the wing rooms were closed.
There was no one in the courtyard. Even the servant girls came out to welcome them.
Therefore, she had to lead a group of people to the door of the main room.
"Knock on the door."
She signaled Liu 'er with her eyes. If Liu' er went to knock on the door, it would make her look inferior.
Liu 'er reached out and knocked on the door. Unexpectedly, no one answered.
"Princess, our miss is looking for you. Please open the door."
Of course, a servant girl didn't dare to call her by her name.
However, Liu 'er called again and again, but there was no response from inside.
"Keep knocking. I don't believe that she can't hear me."
Liu 'er had to continue knocking on the door. However, after a long time, the door was still closed.
Jiang Ruqin was so angry that she almost smashed the door. However, she thought that if she really did that, Lin Mengya would not let her off easily.
Not to mention Lin Mengya, even the relatives of the royal family would think that she was rude and unreasonable.
It would be very unfavorable for her to enter the royal family in the future.
"Cousin-in-law, please open the door. I have something to discuss with you. "
Jiang Ruqin had no choice but to say softly.
After a while, a lazy reply came from inside.
"I'm resting. Let's talk about it in the afternoon."
Jiang Ruqin was so angry that her face was distorted. She didn't expect that damned woman to play this trick on her.
"Cousin-in-law, did you not give me a key?"
Anyway, she was here to get the key to the small library today. It didn't matter if she didn't open the door.
She didn't want to see Lin Mengya's face.
"Are you talking about the key to the gate in my courtyard? You can get it from the servant girl at the gate. But the keys to each courtyard are usually with the servant girl. If you want it, then I'll have to trouble you to lock the door for me every night. "
