Hua Xin acted quickly. She said she wanted to add more people to the Princess's Mansion and ran back to the Prime Minister's Mansion in the afternoon.

Hua Yuxing was still thinking about whether to go see Hua Xin when he heard Butler Li come to report: "Master, the eldest lady is back."

"Xinxin is back?" Hua Yuxing hurriedly got up and put on his shoes, but because he was too nervous, one of his shoes was lifted away.

Butler Li hurriedly picked it up, came to Hua Yuxing, squatted down and put it on him.

"Master, it will take a while for the young lady to come over, don't be too nervous."

"Oh, I'm old now. I can't even put on my shoes properly."

Hua Yuxing sighed and when he stood up, he did not forget to ask Butler Li to see if there was anything wrong with him.

"Master, the young lady is back to see you, just be casual, why are you so nervous?"

Butler Li was confused because they were his daughters and it wasn't like they were going to the palace to meet the emperor.

"You don't understand. I'm worried that Xinxin will see that I'm not in a good state and make her worry about me."

Hua Yuxing made sure that everything was fine before he walked out.

Hua Xin was a fast walker and met Hua Yuxing halfway.

"father!"

I am very happy to see my father Hua Xin. He has the same face as in the previous life and now, but this face looks younger.

"Xinxin, slow down."

Hua Yuxing watched Hua Xin flying towards him like a butterfly, and he opened his arms to catch her just like when he was a child.

"Dad, how are you these days?"

Hua Xin didn't wait for Hua Yuxing to answer, and took his pulse directly. Not long after, he let go of his hand: "Well, not bad, my father is in good health, there is nothing wrong."

"You're so sweet, but what's the matter? Why didn't you bring anyone with you when you came back? You've spoiled those girls from Chunqin."

Hua Yuxing thought that Hua Xin walked too fast and the maid behind him could not catch up. However, they stood there and talked for a while but still no one came over.

"Dad, let's go, it's hot outside, let's go to the flower hall to talk, I asked Uncle Li to put some ice cubes in it."

Hua Xin took Hua Yuxing's arm and walked to the flower hall.

Sure enough, it felt a lot cooler once I entered the flower hall.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"I have a lot of people in my house now, so I need some capable servants. I need servants around my brother, Zi Qiu, and Mr. Song. There are only three of them in total. Two of them are injured, and the remaining one, Bai Shi, also needs to be trained. It won't work without someone around."

After Hua Xin finished speaking, Hua Yuxing was silent for a moment.

"what happened?"

"Xinxin, you didn't mention the Third Prince."

"Ye Lansheng? He has a lot of people around him! Tianyang, Tianyue, Tianxing, Tiansha, the Eighteen Azure Dragon Guards are all in the mansion, there's no need to arrange someone else for him. Besides, even if we do, he probably won't trust them."

Hua Yuxing sensed something was wrong. They were the only ones in the hall, so he asked directly, "Did you have a fight with the Third Prince?"

"No! Why would we quarrel? Besides, he is not in the mansion, he is in the palace, and he is probably busy."

"What? After the move, he has been living in the palace instead of in the mansion?"

Hua Xin was confused: "Dad, why are you so excited? Although he is nominally my consort now, we are not married yet. Besides, he is busy with official duties, so it is normal for him not to live in the mansion."

Hua Yuxing looked at Hua Xin, not knowing what he was talking about, and then he thought of Nangong Ziqiu.

"Xinxin, is Ziqiu doing well in the mansion?"

"Of course he is fine!"

When Hua Xin mentioned Nangong Ziqiu, a smile appeared on her face.

Hua Yuxing could see that this girl was really into Nangong Ziqiu, but they were going to get married at the end of the year. So what status would Nangong Ziqiu have when he stayed in the princess's mansion?

He believed that Hua Xin had thought of it himself, so he didn't bring it up.

"Dad, let me tell you about someone else!"

Hua Xin felt that the fact that Mo Chuli entered the mansion could not be hidden from her father.

"Who?"

"You know about the Duke of Qing's Mansion, right?"

"Duke Qing's Mansion? Let me think about it. The only people left in Duke Qing's Mansion now are Madam Mo and her son Mo Chuli."

"Yes, they are an orphan and a widow, and they are very pitiful. Now Mo Chuli works as a zither player in my house. I pay him a salary every month, which can be regarded as a supplement to the family income."

The cup lid in Hua Yuxing's hand fell to the ground with a bang and then shattered into pieces.

"Ah, Dad, don't move."

Seeing Hua Yuxing bending down subconsciously, Hua Xin hurriedly called Butler Li in.

"Yo, what's going on?"

When Butler Li saw that the teacup lid was broken, he hurriedly asked the servant to come in and clean it up.

"It's okay, my dad wasn't careful."

Hua Xin said this casually, and Hua Yuxing saw that everyone had left, so he took her hand and whispered, "You didn't force me, did you?"

Hua Xin was stunned, "Dad, why do you think of me like this? Although it seems a bit unreasonable to me, I will not do such a thing as robbing a man by force. He volunteered."

"Voluntary? You are still a princess, so it's not impossible if you want to force it." Hua Yuxing narrowed his eyes and looked at Hua Xin. Seeing that she was obviously anxious, he felt relieved for some reason.

"Dad, let me put it this way! I saved his mother, and he wants to repay me. I also want to help him, so this is something that both parties are willing to do."

"Yeah." Hua Yuxing thought this was more reliable. "When did this happen? Weren't you in the mansion before?"

"Uh... it's not important. Anyway, the people are with me now. I calculated that except for Ye Lansheng, each place needs four personal servants, so I need sixteen people."

"Sixteen people? There should be quite a few people that the mansion needs. I'll ask Butler Li to select them. If they are not enough, do we need to select people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

Hua Yuxing felt that with how much Ye Qingyao doted on Hua Xin, he would definitely satisfy her demands to a great extent.

"It's not impossible. At least the people selected from the Ministry of Internal Affairs have their backgrounds investigated, and they don't have to be taught from scratch about how to serve others. That's pretty good." Hua Xin thought for a moment and asked again, "But are all the people selected from the Ministry of Internal Affairs the same?"

"Which one?"

"Here, are they the eunuchs in the palace?"

"That's for sure, you..."

"Dad, what are you thinking about? I have no interest in my father-in-law!"

"Ahem, I haven't said anything yet. You said this yourself."

Butler Li outside the door was startled. What?

The eldest lady is interested in her father-in-law?

No wonder the master is so angry, he would be angry too if he were in his place!

I have to admit, that's how misunderstandings sometimes arise. Fortunately, Butler Li is tight-lipped and only let it go after he heard it himself. Otherwise, if it got out, Hua Xin's reputation would be even worse.

However, the final result was not much better, because Hua Yuxing told him that he had to select sixteen servants from the mansion to go to the princess's mansion.

The scene was comparable to a beauty pageant, because Hua Xin was too ugly and was not accepted.
