In fact, it was not just this one thing, he really wanted them to follow him all the time.

It would be best if he could know Asi's whereabouts.

He never wanted to experience what happened yesterday again, but now Ah Yi was so angry...

He Qingchen instinctively forgot the other reason why he arranged for someone to be around her.

When he said this, Shen Guidi's eyes were always on the two secret guards.

When they heard He Qingchen's last sentence, the two secret guards' bodies stiffened noticeably. Although they quickly covered it up, Shen Guidi noticed it.

In other words, what He Qingchen said sounded so nice, but in fact, it was not his real intention.

A cold smile appeared on Shen Guidi's lips, but he didn't say anything.

She really couldn't understand what was wrong with He Qingchen?

Why was it that not only did his temperament change a lot after he woke up after being merely injured, but he also always looked like he was worried about her and afraid that something might happen to her?

He even sent his own secret guard over just to ask him to protect him?

Even her going out of the house to do some work yesterday seemed to have become part of his show for her.

If this was really a play, then He Qingchen was acting too realistically, so much so that sometimes she almost forgot that He Qingchen's kindness to her came inexplicably and without any reason.

Or was there something about her that was worth him going to so much trouble to gain?

"A'di, why don't you speak? Don't be silent. I really don't want to detain you. It's just... it's not safe outside. I'm worried that something might happen to you. How about this? From now on, if you want to go out, just ask them to follow you in the dark and not get in your way in front of you. Is that okay?"

Shen Guidi lowered her eyes, knowing that he was acting, but she couldn't help feeling a little soft-hearted.

She sighed: "Forget it, whatever you want."

There are many things that she doesn't have to do personally, just ask someone to arrange them in a secretive manner.

He Qingchen was delighted when he heard the voice.

Is Asi no longer angry?

He Qingchen felt that his heart, which had been tense all the time, finally settled down a little.

There was a hint of smile in his eyes and brows.

Shen Guiyi thought of something and pulled his hand to draw his attention back: "Your Majesty, I have something to discuss with you."

He Qingchen was full of pride and said immediately: "No need to discuss, just make your decision. I will listen to you."

Shen Guidi: “…”

"I have carefully observed the situation in the palace these past two days. Now, Nanny An has been confined in her courtyard by you. It is a bit difficult for Chief Steward Wang to manage this huge palace alone. Why don't you release Nanny An first?

She is your wet nurse, and she only cares about your own good. With her help, the mansion will be more stable."

He Qingchen looked at her seriously and asked curiously, "Did Wang, the butler, complain to you? Didn't I tell him to tidy up all the affairs in the mansion and hand them over to you?"

You are in charge of the big issues, and he is busy with the small matters, so he is too busy to handle them?

When did he become so useless?"

He simply skipped the topic of Nanny An and deliberately turned the conversation to Butler Wang.

Shen Guidi knew that he was rejecting her.

She was silent and didn't pursue the matter further.

Nanny An is an old nanny who came from the palace. She knows everything about the affairs inside and outside the palace, as well as the inner chambers of the powerful families in the capital.

It would be great if Nanny An could help.

But He Qingchen didn't want to, and there was no need to force it. After all, it was his palace, and he had the final say on how to manage it.

But, Nanny An was his wet nurse after all.

She didn't do anything too rude that day.

Shen Guicui just listened to what she said and let it go. Considering the close relationship between He Qingchen and Nanny An for many years, even if he was just putting on a show in front of her, he would never confine her just for her.

Now, she has taken the initiative to give He Qingchen a way out, but he refuses to give in?

Shen Guiyi thought for a moment, then followed his words and deliberately said, "Manager Wang didn't mention this to me, but I found that Manager Wang has been so busy these days that he is a little too tired.

What's more, there are new people in the mansion now, and we will definitely need more servants and maids in the future.

It is appropriate for Chief Steward Wang to handle the affairs of the external industries, but the internal affairs of the mansion, the personal relationships with the palace and the aristocratic families, and the matters with the concubines in the backyard in the future are all very important.

After all, he is a man, and it is not appropriate for him to always go in and out of the backyard, and he is not meticulous enough in handling those things.

As for me.

You also know that I grew up in the countryside and am just a crude country woman. It's a blessing that I'm not laughed at when I go out. How can I help you deal with the affairs in the mansion?

My mother also told me today that we should wait for a few more months.

She will select a few suitable ones for you at that time, whether as a concubine or a concubine, so that there will always be someone who can help deal with the trivial matters in the mansion.

By then, I can do what I want to do in peace.

Right now, we need a capable nanny to help us in the mansion. After much thought, I think Nanny An is the most suitable. She is your wet nurse and is familiar with the interpersonal relationships of various families..."

Shen Guidi was still talking happily, totally unaware that He Qingchen's expression was becoming increasingly uglier.

Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and interrupted her.

"That's enough." He Qingchen said in a low voice.

Shen Guidi was frightened by him and took a step back timidly without saying anything else.

He Qingchen's expression darkened.

He grabbed Shen Guidi's shoulder and said word by word: "A'di, I will never use anyone who has betrayed me again, and the same goes for Nanny An. As for what you said about not knowing how to do the housework, I will teach you."

Shen Guidi: "...Aren't you busy?"

Don't you have anything to do?

Does she have to learn it?

"Not busy. I can accompany you every day to do what you want to do. I will talk to my father. When I went to Gongzhou a few years ago, my father agreed to my request for a rest. At most, I can use it."

Shen Guidi still wanted to struggle.

“In fact, I feel that Steward Wang has managed the palace in perfect order over the years. He is a man of means and ability. It doesn’t matter if he is busy for a few more months.

When the time comes, when the concubine enters the palace, he will hand it over directly to the new concubine.

I really don't have the ability to run a household, and I can't learn such complicated things. I'd better not waste your time."
