I married the crippled queen and became the most favored queen in the capital

As soon as he said this, several people raised their hands and claimed that they had received this extra pay.

This is strange. Among these people, some received it and some did not. Could it be that Madam Liu was treating people differently based on their situation?

Thinking of this, she instructed these people:

"Those who received an extra paycheck stand on the left, and those who didn't stand on the right."

After the servants looked at each other for a while, they stood on both sides.

Luo Nianxi estimated that among the more than one hundred servants, only six or seven received the extra wages, and the rest received nothing.

She looked at these six or seven people and questioned suspiciously,

"What do you do in the mansion?"

The fat man replied first:

"I'm the head of the kitchen."

Another person replied:

"I am the head of the front and back yards..."

"I am the head of the laundry room..."

"I am the head of the East and West Wings..."

"I am the warehouse manager..."

"I am the stable master..."

"..."

After listening to these people calling out their names one by one, Luo Nianxi finally understood.

It turned out that these people were the small leaders in the palace. No wonder Nanny Liu could show off her power in Prince Yan's palace. It turned out that she had captured all these small leaders.

The maids and servants in this mansion were not so lucky. Their workload increased, but their wages did not increase at all.

Thinking of this, she raised her hand.

"Madame Liu, can you tell me where the extra wages went?"

Aunt Liu looked at her with a sullen face.

"This...is all used to cover the expenses of the palace."

Hearing this, she turned to look at Lao Hu.

"If Madam Liu is the one who has to worry about the food, clothing and expenses of the palace, then it seems that there is no point in having Old Hu as the accountant."

Seeing this, Old Hu quickly blamed Aunt Liu.

"Madam Liu, although the food, clothing and other expenses in this palace are paid by you, they are all paid in cash from me. I have the accounts and your handprints on them, so please don't wrongly accuse me!"

Aunt Liu immediately looked at him coldly, but Old Hu didn't understand her expression at all and kept questioning him.

"Madam Liu, didn't you say that you would only give me the extra pay? Why would so many people get extra pay? Are you kidding me?"

Seeing this, several other people followed suit.

"Yes, Madam Liu also told me that she would only give me one more person."

"She told me that too."

"Me too……"

Seeing the relationship she had carefully built up collapse in an instant, Aunt Liu instantly looked at Luo Nianxi in anger.

"Princess Yan, you heard what the Queen said this morning. I am still in charge of the Yan Palace. Why are you embarrassing me in front of so many servants now?"

"I'm embarrassing you? According to the rules of the court, the number of servants in Prince Yan's mansion must not be less than 300, because the salary paid to the servants is fixed. Even if Prince Yan is injured, you have no right to reduce the number of servants. Even if the number of servants is reduced, these people share the work of the other 200 people, so they should share the wages of the other 200 people. But you pick and choose, and only pay twice as much to a small number of people. I think if the Queen knew about this, she would be embarrassed!"

When it came to the Empress, Matron Liu immediately became timid.

She had already been humiliated by the Queen today, and the Queen began to feel resentment towards her because of this. She couldn't let Luo Nianxi catch her again.

Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth and looked at Luo Nianxi.

"Then please tell me frankly, Princess, how should this matter be resolved?"

Seeing that Aunt Liu had given in, Luo Nianxi raised her eyebrows.

"Pay these servants three months' wages. If the palace does not add any more servants in the future, they will have to be paid double their wages each month, because they have much more work to do than before. The remaining double wages will all be kept in the palace account. In this way, I can let this matter go. Otherwise, I can't promise not to tell the Queen about this."

As soon as she said this, the servants looked at her with gratitude.

This is exactly the effect Luo Nianxi wanted. She had to win over the hearts of these servants first so that she could survive in Prince Yan's Mansion.

Paying three months' wages all at once? This would mean that Madam Liu had been suffering for nothing these past few months. How could she be willing to do this?

But when she thought about Luo Nianxi's performance in front of the Queen this morning, Nanny Liu felt a little timid again.

No matter what, keep her calm first.

Thinking of this, she made up her mind and replied directly:

"Okay, everything is up to you, Princess."

Hearing this, the servants immediately began to whisper to each other happily, but when they saw the long face of Matron Liu, they immediately quieted down.

Naturally, Luo Nianxi saw the whole scene.

She looked at these servants and said loudly and righteously:

"From now on, the chores of Prince Yan's Mansion will be handled by Madam Liu, and the matters concerning the departure and stay of relevant personnel will be handled by me. If any of you feel wronged, just come to me and I will make the decision for you. By the way, if anyone is dissatisfied, they can also go to the emperor or the queen to complain."

Seeing this, Madam Liu tried to interrupt her.

"This is inappropriate. The Queen asked me to be the head of Prince Yan's Mansion. All matters of Prince Yan's Mansion should be managed by me. Princess, please serve the Prince well!"

"What if this was the prince's idea?"

This……

Nanny Liu was speechless for a moment.

After a long pause, she bravely replied:

"The prince has not been involved in the affairs of the palace for several months. This cannot be his idea. Princess, please don't try to deceive us."

Seeing that Madam Liu didn't believe her, Luo Nianxi immediately laughed awkwardly.

"I am the prince's bedmate, how dare you doubt what I say?"

Xiao Cui had just been slapped by Luo Nianxi, and was still holding her breath. When she mentioned this matter, she snorted coldly.

"No one has seen the prince in the past three months. How can you prove that what you said is true?"

This girl Xiao Cui is really an incorrigible person. I don't know what's the benefit of her being in the same boat with Madam Liu.

Luo Nianxi took two quick steps forward, grabbed Xiao Cui's chin tightly, and asked with gritted teeth,

"How dare you, a little girl like you, doubt this princess? You are really courting death..."

Xiao Cui's face turned pale at this moment. She clamped her hands tightly with both hands, trying to break free from her hands, but it was of no use.

She didn't expect the princess's grip to be so strong.

Aunt Liu knew that Luo Nianxi was killing a chicken to scare the monkeys. She looked at Xiao Cui, who was almost dying from being pinched by her, and immediately replied:

"Everything can be done as the princess wishes, but I have to explain it to the queen first."

Seeing that Aunt Liu finally gave in, Luo Nianxi let go of her hand, "Okay, Aunt Liu, just go and report it. By the way, you must report it truthfully, don't hide anything!"

At the same time, Xiao Cui patted her chest and coughed violently.

She probably wouldn't have thought that Luo Nianxi was a Sanda master in her previous life, and her hand strength was greater than that of any man.

When the servants saw this scene, they all cheered secretly in their hearts.

In the past few months, Nanny Liu has made them suffer a lot. Now someone is standing up for them, they are so happy.

But Ma Liu didn't think so. Luo Nianxi made her humiliated in front of these servants, and she couldn't stand this.

Back in the room, Xiao Cui muttered angrily,

"Luo Nianxi might be buried with the dead someday, but she's still showing off here. Madam Liu, why did you agree to give her half of the power to run the household?"

Aunt Liu lay on the bed and glared at her unhappily.

"If I don't agree, she will strangle you to death. Besides, don't you understand that it's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge? There's still a long way to go. Let's play with her slowly."

"But...but what if she finds an excuse to kick us out one day?"

"Bang? I'm someone close to the Queen. If she wants to bang me, she can do it if she has the guts."

"Madame Liu, if she stays in Prince Yan's mansion for one day, we won't have a good life. What should we do?"

Madam Liu pondered for a while with a cold face, then snorted with disdain.

"That's easy. If she wants to stay here, we won't let her stay..."

After saying this, a look of disgust and evil flashed in her eyes.
