Prince Honghui was brought back from the front yard by Yu Suisui and settled down directly in the east wing of Wanfu Pavilion. The Fourth Master knew about it but deliberately waited a few days before coming to talk about it.

Yu Sui took this opportunity to give the Fourth Master a special product from their Time and Space Bureau, the elixir for giving birth to a girl, wishing the Fourth Master many children in the future.

After all, only a daughter can guarantee that the child she gives birth to is definitely her own, and will definitely be the descendant of the Fourth Master.

"Madam, Honghui is a boy, don't spoil him too much." The Fourth Master did not agree to move Honghui to the backyard. He was the legitimate son and had been moved to the front yard to live on his own since he was one year old.

Baturu of the Qing Dynasty could never be such a timid and mother-loving person.

Yu Sui rolled his eyes in his heart, "Fourth Master, let's not talk about Honghui. Li Gege's little prince is sick again. You should go and see him. Otherwise, Li Gege will worry."

Isn't it said that Li is the sweetheart of the Fourth Master for the first half of his life? The news of the young prince's illness has been circulating for several days, but the Fourth Master has never visited him once.

The Fourth Master felt annoyed when talking about this. He didn't go to see Li because he was worried that she would be sad. He also knew Li's little tricks, but he really couldn't ask for the title of concubine for Li now. The concubine still had a legitimate son, but Li's family didn't have anyone to support the family. Her father was now in his forties or fifties and hadn't passed the imperial examination yet.

How could he ask for a title for Li if she was still a scholar at this age?

"Don't worry about her, Madam. She is just a hot-tempered person. Just arrange a court doctor to look after her yard." The Fourth Master was still afraid that there would be problems with the child, so he had to compromise.

Yu Suisui did not respond, but asked Qingzhi to bring a stack of account books over, "Fourth Master, this is the expenditure of the mansion over the years. Originally, it was said that the money from the public treasury would be paid by my dowry, but now there is not much left of my dowry. I hope Fourth Master can think of a way."

The original owner spent three-tenths of her family's money as a dowry. After all, she was marrying into a wealthy family. With the money prepared by the palace and the little bit left by Queen Tong, the original owner was considered a wealthy woman.

What did Fu Jin mean by this?

He just asked her to pay it first. It's not that he won't pay it back. It's just that the time is not right for him to do it. Could it be that Lady Fu Jin is blaming him for Honghui's matter? But the son of that family is five years old and still lives in the backyard.

The Fourth Master's face darkened and he said, "Call the steward over later and I'll make up for you." It's just a small amount of money, but it's not worth the calculation.

After getting the money, Yu Susui smiled happily, "Thank you, Fourth Master." But she was a bad person, and this time the Fourth Master would have to spend a lot of money. She was sure that the Fourth Master would not calculate the account of the dowry in detail, so Yu Susui was so bold as to ask for three times the money.

There is salary for this job, so what's wrong with her asking for some wages? There are rewards during the holidays, so what's wrong with her asking for some bonus red envelopes.

The Fourth Master's private treasury was bleeding profusely, with Yu Sui taking away one third of it. Only then did the Fourth Master realize how expensive the backyard was. Now he had to find a way to make money.

Because there is not enough money in the public treasury!

Yu Suisui did not feel bad about spending other people's money. She first improved the living conditions of the people in the backyard. She also started by laying floor heating in the west wing of Wanfu Pavilion where she lived, and then slowly laid the entire Wanfu Pavilion step by step, even the ear rooms were not spared.

Later, the three main rooms of each princess were also paved. Since the summer was unbearable, everyone had to use more ice to cool the house, and the money was spent like water.

"Fujin, are the expenses over the past two months a bit too much?" The Fourth Master looked at the account book with his eyes wide open. The money was spent too lavishly.

Yu Suisui, "Fourth Master, the backyard is full of women. Women are different from men. You men are strong and healthy, and the heat will pass by, but they are different. If there is no ice, the room will be hot and stuffy, and you will get heatstroke if you are not careful. The money you spend on medicine will only be more."

After saying this, he glanced at the Fourth Master's face and said, "Fourth Master, you also know that Li Gege's two children are precious. They can't be heated or frozen. This..."

The Fourth Master didn't finish listening, and held his forehead. He originally thought that Fu Jin asked him for too much money. It seemed that the women in the backyard were really good at spending money. "Fu Jin, don't be too soft-hearted in the future. I'm leaving this backyard to you, you can't let me down."

Fu Jin, why don't you do like the one next door and just enjoy yourself and stop spending money on the women in the backyard? He can't afford it any more.

Yu Suisui felt amused. It would hurt when the knife hit her body, but why should she be a bad person? "Fourth Master, you know I am just like this. They have been with you for many years. They have served you for many years and have done a lot. It's just a little more ice. It won't be a problem."

The Fourth Master stared at Yu Suisui for several times. This concubine was easy to deceive, but that was also because she was soft-hearted. If he said too much, it would be bad if the concubine became suspicious. "That's not what I meant. The concubine has always handled the affairs of the backyard very well. I'm just worried that you were deceived by the people below."

"No, Fourth Master. These people are the maids and aunts you originally arranged to take care of these matters." You sent them all. If anything happens, it will not be your own business.

If they embezzled money, it was your money, not hers. She doesn't feel bad at all. Besides, it's really fun to spend money like water.

The Fourth Master was choked by these words, and immediately suppressed his words and reluctantly stayed in Wanfu Pavilion to have lunch.

Yu Sui wholeheartedly agreed with the fact that the Fourth Master did not stay overnight. The original owner hated the Fourth Master, and if she slept with him, the original owner would definitely give her a bad review.

As for being a widow at such a young age, Yu Suisui doesn't care!

The Fourth Master's slim figure is not her type, so don't put yourself in a difficult position.

The women in the Fourth Master's backyard spent a happy summer. On August 15th, Yu Suisui was summoned by Concubine De.

When he arrived at Yonghe Palace, Yu Suisui was welcomed into the flower hall, where palace maids were busy serving tea and snacks.

De Fei was a gentle person, she looked about thirty years old, wearing a royal blue cloak, smiling warmly and kindly, holding Yu Sui's hand, "I wanted to ask you to come before, but you live in the city, and I followed the emperor to Changchun Garden, and the trip back and forth would waste time, and it was hot, so I didn't ask anyone to invite you, don't worry."

Defei liked this daughter-in-law very much. She was sensible and capable. She also liked the wife of the fourteenth family, but the child was still young and not as steady as the fourth wife.

"What are you saying, mother? Mother is considerate of me, how can I blame her?" Yu Suisui also replied with a smile. The original owner had a good relationship with Concubine De. Only Concubine De remembered Honghui's birthday every year until her death and would send people to deliver things. Later, before her death, she gave all the management of the palace for many years to the original owner.

This is also the reason why the original owner hoped that Concubine De would be healthy and live a long life.

De Fei smiled and asked someone to bring another plate with some head ornaments on it. Yu Suisui took a look and turned away, listening to De Fei continue to speak, "These are the jewels presented by Jiangnan. I am too old to wear such fancy things. I will divide them into three parts, one for you, one for Fourteenth's wife, and the other for Wen Xian."

"Thank you, mother." Yu Suisui quickly stood up to express her gratitude.

Defei reached out and held Yu Suisui, telling her to continue sitting beside her. "The fourth child is in his twenties now, and he only has two sons. It's a bit too few after all. The emperor has also said it two or three times. I have selected four palace maids. You can take them back later and just be maids."

After saying that, he was worried that Yu Suisui would not agree. "Fourteen also has four people. Don't take it to heart. I get along well with you. To be honest, there will be more and more people in the backyard from now on. You also have a legitimate son by your side. Just sit back and watch. The people in the underground can make as much trouble as they want, just don't let anyone get killed."

She knew her son a little bit. Queen Tong was a good master, but she had never taught her son much. She wanted to teach him herself, but the fourth son only followed Queen Tong when he was young.

Yu Susui doesn't care. She doesn't care how many women there are. But the Fourth Master might care about it, after all, the Fourth Master is stingy with money.
