Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

How could Li Jingyan's pride be hidden from Nian Shilan? After all, Li Jingyan's acting skills were almost non-existent.

But thinking of the old lady's teachings, Nian Shilan still held back.

If she wanted to gain a firm foothold by relying on the favor and pity of the prince, she had to be servile to the people in the backyard. Her miscarriage was a result of underestimating the nature of the women in the backyard. They were just sisters, and she didn't care about anyone.

"It's just a call of 'sister', why is Sister Li so out of control?" Nian Shilan still made a sarcastic remark.

Li Jingyan could tell that she was no longer called Li Jingyan. She only knew that Nian Shilan called her sister several times. She couldn't suppress the upward smile on her face now. "Sister Nian's calling you sister was so sincere and heartfelt. I was just touched."

This was really like throwing a wink to a blind man. Nian Shilan almost wanted to tear Li Jingyan's mouth apart with her hands, but Yi Xiu's arrival interrupted Nian Shilan's eruption of anger.

Yixiu, as usual, gave Nian Shilan some words of advice, "I hope that after this incident, my sister Nian will be less arrogant and less impatient."

Nian Shilan managed to curl the corners of her mouth, "Thank you, Madam, for your guidance."

Although the words were simple, how could the old Nian Shilan say this? The joy that everyone felt because of Nian Shilan's bowing head also dissipated a lot. Nian Shilan's forbearance was not a good thing for everyone, and many smart people had already begun to be on guard.

As expected, this judgment soon came true. Nian Shilan's methods have indeed improved a lot. In the past, she only knew how to intercept people halfway, but now Nian Shilan can use the charm of a coquettish and clingy little girl to seduce the Fourth Prince and not go anywhere else.

As time went by, the Fourth Prince couldn't help but feel more satisfied with Nian Shilan. While feeling satisfied, the Fourth Prince also remembered the appeasement reward for Nian Shilan - the right to be the housekeeper.

The Fourth Prince came to discuss with Yixiu, "Xiaoyi, Shilan has changed a lot these days, which shows that she is truly repentant. I think the affairs in the mansion are complicated now, so why not let Shilan share your worries."

Yixiu had long anticipated that the Fourth Prince would do this, but being prepared did not mean that she would agree immediately, otherwise it would seem that the housekeeper's power was worthless!

"They say that time reveals a person's true character. Your Highness, are you a little impatient?" How magnanimous could Nian Shilan be? Now she was just trying to win the love of the Fourth Prince.

The Fourth Prince did not expect that Yixiu would not give him face, and his smile froze on his face, "Is Concubine Fu reluctant to give up the power in her hands?" This would accuse Yixiu of being autocratic.

Yixiu said, "In terms of qualifications, Sister Li, who gave birth to Hongshi, and Sister Lu, who gave birth to Miaohan, are both good candidates. I am just worried that if I suddenly appoint Sister Nian to do something, others will feel resentful."

The Fourth Prince frowned and said, "Shilan was just a little careless. Why does Lady Fu have to harp on such a small mistake?" The Fourth Prince thought that Yixiu was trying to stop Shilan because of his lateness.

Yi Xiu smiled and said, "I am not dissatisfied with Sister Nian for this. It's just that if you really want to help me do things, Sister Li and Sister Lu are indeed qualified."

The Fourth Prince asked in an ambiguous tone, "What does Fu Jin mean?"

Yixiu proposed her own plan, "If we only give the burden to Sister Nian, it will seem that the prince and I are biased towards Sister Nian. Not only will there be talk in the mansion, but people outside the mansion will also gossip about it. It would be better to find a few more sisters to share my worries."

The Fourth Prince hesitated for a moment and found that the plan proposed by Yixiu was more in line with his own interests. Not only did it break the situation where Yixiu was the only one in power, but he also didn't have to worry about Nian Shilan relying on the power in his hands to act recklessly and break the rules of Prince Yong's mansion.

"Li and Lu are indeed good. I'll trouble Xiaoyi to teach them more. I will also send Fangruo to supervise them from time to time to prevent any big mistakes."

The Fourth Prince still sent people out with concern, as he was afraid that Yixiu would instigate Li Jingyan, Nian Shilan and Lu Yingfeng to fight each other.

Yixiu didn't care about it, since she didn't plan to do anything anyway.

Not to mention how happy Nian Shilan was when she received the news, and how angry she was when she heard that Li Jingyan and Lu Yingfeng also got the job. Anyway, Li Jingyan and Lu Yingfeng were stunned by the pie that fell from the sky.

Li Jingyan was given the daily shopping and kitchen responsibilities, which was a lucrative job and was also a subsidy from Yixiu to Li Jingyan to subsidize herself and the Third Prince. The Li family was not well-off and the Third Prince was about to get married, so Li Jingyan couldn't be left without even a gift for his daughter-in-law.

Lu Yingfeng is the same, but better than Li Jingyan. He is in charge of daily expenses such as food, clothing and other daily expenses. There are many tricks in this. As long as Lu Yingfeng can grasp the key, it will not be a problem to save up a dowry for Miaohan. Lu Yingfeng is Yixiu's own person in public, so naturally he should get a lucrative job.

Nian Shilan was assigned to manage the servants in the mansion, which not only satisfied Nian Shilan's desire to show off his power, but also gave him the opportunity to recruit a large number of people.

Jianqiu even advised Yixiu, "Master, how can such a crucial task be assigned to Concubine Nian?" Managing servants is not just about rules and regulations, but also about the right to pay salaries to servants. Doesn't this allow Nian Shilan to win people's hearts?

Yixiu explained, "There are pros and cons to taking on this task, and I don't know if Concubine Nian can see the cons clearly."

In order to show herself, especially to show the Fourth Prince that she is better than Yixiu, Nian Shilan will definitely reform the existing rules and regulations. Reform is difficult. If the system is stricter, the servants will definitely feel resentful. If it is not strict, it will arouse the dissatisfaction of the Fourth Prince.

As a qualified love-brained person, Nian Shilan would definitely choose to let her subordinates down, so that she would only have one way to win over people, and that is to spend money.

If real money was spent, the servants would certainly be grateful and praise Nian Shilan, but the Fourth Prince had an informant in the backyard. How would he react when he heard that Nian Shilan was buying people's hearts with money? Tsk tsk tsk, it's not like he thought Nian Shilan was very considerate.

Therefore, if Nian Shilan took on this task, no matter how well she did, she would not be able to win the favor of the Fourth Prince. It would be a thankless task for Nian Shilan.

This is just Yixiu's simple analysis. Nian Shilan will definitely not be quiet when she has people. As Nian Shilan's first focus, the Fourth Prince will slowly know how fast Nian Shilan is.

Bribing the young eunuch to determine the whereabouts of the Fourth Prince is child's play. Nian Shilan can beat a master with a random punch. With the power of the housekeeper in his hands, it is easy for him to control the concubines.

Yixiu's inference was absolutely correct. Nian Shilan simply sorted out the accounts of previous years and began to make trouble for Feng Ruozhao, of course, under the pretext of "teaching Sister Feng how to be a housekeeper."
