Shen Yunyue and Chunhe walked out of the yard and saw Wen Jian and his men coming from afar.

Her face was all smiles.

"Mother, I am here to serve you."

Shen Yunyue glanced at him calmly and said, "I haven't seen your filial piety in all these years. Now you come to serve me eagerly? Am I too old and frail to move, or are you too confused to fool me?"

Wen Jian knew Shen Yunyue's character.

She looked embarrassed.

Secretly said:

After all, Shen Yunyue is the daughter of General Dashun, so she is a bit rude.

"Mother, I have been too busy managing the household these years. I have neglected to honor you. Why don't I help you take care of the affairs in the mansion? That will also make your life more comfortable."

Wen Jian knew that the rewards from the palace had come down.

When she heard that Shen Yunyue was given an official title, she began to become active.

"No need for that. Put away your little thoughts and live your life well." Shen Yunyue waved her hand and let her leave.

Wen Jian left with a look of grievance on his face.

Chun He has been with Shen Yunyue for more than ten years and is a loyal maid. "Old Princess, I see that the princess is worried. Isn't it a bad idea for you to humiliate her like this?"

After all, Shen Yunyue has no one to rely on in this mansion.

Princess Li is different now. She has a husband and children.

All are biological.

Shen Yunyue is not afraid, as it is hard to say what will happen in the future.

Life should be lived comfortably.

What’s the point of living a cowardly life?

"Humph, you don't have to be afraid if you are strong."

When Shen Yunyue arrived at the side yard, a dark and thin dentist hurriedly came over from the corner.

"Old Princess. I brought some people here according to the request of the mansion."

There were dozens of people standing in the yard.

Both men and women.

There are also families.

Shen Yunyue asked questions and, after taking the advice of the melon-eating system, she weighed the options herself and chose three families to stay.

Selected a few maids.

Eight or nine young servants.

A woman in her twenties was found in the corner.

The woman had her hair in a bun and her face showed a look of indifference towards the world.

From the way she stands, you can tell that this is a woman with a story even without wine.

Gua Gua was telling a story in Shen Yunyue's mind.

After it tells this woman's story.

Shen Yunyue pointed at the woman, "And this one."

The woman looked up with a look of surprise on her face.

She had a long scar on her face and was always beaten back to the dental office wherever she went.

The toothman was very happy.

The goods that were stuck in my hands were sold.

Isn’t it a very happy thing?

Shen Yunyue asked Chunhe to pay off the money.

He returned to his yard with the thirty or so people he had bought.

People were assigned to clean the kitchen and other places.

Someone who is responsible for cleaning the back garden.

The concierge.

The stable boy.

There were several more maids in her courtyard, and they were named Xiahe, Qiuhe and Donghe after Chunhe.

The woman with the scar on her face was originally named Jiu Niang, but Shen Yunyue still called her Jiu Niang.

Chunhe was asked to accommodate the remaining maids and cleaning women.

After finishing all these, she sat on the couch in front of the window and closed her eyes to rest.

When I enter the palace in the morning, I feel very tired.

In the courtyard on the side of the palace.

Wen Jian smashed several teacups, "Mammy. The prince took away my housekeeper power and gave it to that woman. She is not a real mother, but just an adoptive mother in name only."

"How could our prince be raised by her?"

Nanny Wen quickly gave a look.

He asked the maid to leave the room, and he bent down to comfort her:

"Princess, you must not say that, or someone with ulterior motives might overhear you. Now the old princess is the housekeeper, and we all have to make a living under her."

"The prince is also a filial man."

"It's always better to be cautious."

Wen Jian snorted coldly, that might not be the case.

She could see that the prince was still concerned about his biological parents, otherwise he would not have allowed her to secretly target Shen Yunyue all these years.

How can there be filial piety without having children?

It's just a matter of who is stronger.

Wen Jian leaned on the couch and said, "Mammy, I am unwilling to accept this. At least my life will be easier if I leave the palace. If I am the head of the household, I will be respected by the aristocratic families in the capital."

"You know, I only have the title of Princess Li."

"Most people don't say it in public, but they all look down on me in private."

Wen Jian, who has always been competitive, couldn't stand it.

Nanny Wen sighed.

"How about we go to the Queen to ask for advice?"

After all, she is a princess. If she passes a badge into the palace, she might be able to meet the queen.

Wen Jian's mind moved.

The Queen and the old lady of Duke Hu were close friends.

The two have always gotten along well.

She sat up straight and said, "Mammy is right. If the queen supports my housekeeper..."

In the future, Shen Yunyue's salary will also be handed over to the government, and she will be in charge of all these. Just thinking about it will make life more promising...

Wen Jian hasn't finished dressing up yet.

Then I heard someone outside say that the lady-in-waiting of the queen in the palace was coming.

Wen Jian didn't have time to think about it, and randomly picked up a gold hairpin and inserted it into her hair bun.

Came to the main house.

Cuiguo, who was beside the queen, bowed to Wen Jian and then took out a red chalcedony hairpin of very good quality from her sleeve.

With a faint smile, he said:

"Our queen got this hairpin the other day, thinking that all the princesses would attend the palace banquet next month."

"Her Majesty ordered this servant to bring it to Princess Li."

Wen Jian was overjoyed.

He quickly asked Nanny Wen to take it.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I haven't paid you a visit for a long time. I wanted to hand over a sign to see the Queen today."

Cuiguo sat on the chair with a normal look on her face.

The words are full of affinity.

"Thank you Princess Li for thinking of our queen. Your Majesty heard that Princess Li has lost her housekeeper rights, which is not a big deal."

"In the capital, there are many people who flatter the powerful and look down on the weak."

"It's a bit unfair to you that Princess Li has had her housekeeper rights taken away from her."

Cuiguo sighed.

"Princess, I guess you don't know what people outside are talking about?"

Wen Jian's expression tightened.

She is a person who cares a lot about her reputation and is afraid of being looked down upon.

"How to say?"

Cuiguo glanced at it calmly and chuckled:

"It's all my fault for being so talkative. The Queen will punish me later. It's nothing serious."

"That's the same thing those ladies say to each other."

"I am sorry for talking too much. Princess Li, don't take it to heart. I think the old princess forced Prince Li to take over the housekeeper's power for her own reasons."

He said a few words in a neutral tone.

Cuiguo stood up and said, "We've been talking for too long. I still have to go do something."

"Aunt Cuiguo."

Cuiguo turned around and whispered:

"Princess Li, the old princess is not a proper mother-in-law, and the age difference between you two is not that big. I'm afraid it will take quite a few years for her to pass away."

After saying that, she looked at Wen Jian meaningfully.

Wen Jian understood immediately.

After sending Cuiguo away.

Wen Jian hurried back into the house, his voice trembling.

"Mammy, did you hear what Cuiguo said just now? Does the Queen have this idea?"

Nanny Wen frowned, "Princess. The Queen never even glanced at us. The families of the third-rank officials in the court are more respectable than us. Why did the Queen kindly send the carnelian hairpin to me?"

Nanny Wen was afraid that the Queen had ulterior motives and wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife.

I'm afraid the princess's brain is not enough.

Wen Jian was not favored in her mother's family.

I only learned the basics of household management.

She just wanted to take advantage of others and would keep some of the money that passed through her hands.

He kept saying:

The mansion is too extravagant, and I have to live frugally to survive.

She knew the princess's character, but they were one, and they would prosper together and suffer together.

"Princess. We have to be on the lookout for the Queen."

Wen Jian slapped him.

"Have you also been fooled by the old princess of Guiyun Courtyard?"

"Aunt Cuiguo is right. She is only four years older than me. She is not my real mother-in-law. How can I live like this in the future?"
