After being married off by my younger sister, I became the most beloved person in the palace

Gu Zhiyin left Chaohui Hall, but Mother Yang did not follow her. She stayed behind and repeated everything that happened in Gu's house.

"...In my opinion, it was a good decision not to marry Miss Gu. Not to mention her hot temper, she is also very talkative. She says everything she should and shouldn't say. She is so mean and not at all like our Princess who is calm and dignified!"

After hearing this, the old princess looked at Fu Yunyao with a lingering fear on her face.

After hearing what Mother Yang said, Gu Jinse was really a troublemaker. Fortunately, she was replaced. Fortunately, she was replaced.

“We servants in this mansion dare not say that everything is fine, but the old princess is in charge, and the first thing she does is to strictly order the servants to keep their mouths shut! It is impossible for the prince to leave the princess on the day of his wedding, but within just three days, the second Miss Gu knew about it, and she even spoke it out in front of all the guests, as if she couldn’t wait for the princess to be humiliated…” Mother Yang continued.

"The Princess suspected that someone close to her had let the cat out of the bag. Of the three servants who came with her as a dowry, except for Ruyi who had served her since she was a child, the other two served her, but their indentures were still in Madam Gu's hands. I think if the Second Miss Gu wanted to find out something, these two would definitely not hide it. So before leaving the Gu family, the Princess handed Huilan over to Madam Gu for disposal, saying that such a gossipy person must not stay in the palace! As for Madam Hu, firstly, the Princess did not bring her with her when she returned home today, and secondly..."

Mother Yang paused and said, "It is said that killing a chicken to scare the monkeys. If Mother Hu is a smart person, she should know who her real master will be in the future."

Upon hearing this, the old princess nodded repeatedly, her eyes full of admiration for Gu Zhiyin.

This is the way to employ people. If you kill them all with one blow and suppress them tyrannically, although the subordinates will not dare to resist and will obey orders, it will be difficult to have truly loyal slaves.

Therefore, you should put pressure when it is necessary and give benefits when it is necessary. Only by finding the right balance between tension and relaxation can you win the support of the people.

"Yinyin already knows how to deal with Madam Hu." The old princess said, "She is new to the family, so you should keep an eye on her and make sure she doesn't get bullied by those ignorant people in the mansion."

Nearly half of the people in the palace are servants born in the family. Generation after generation, their relationships in the palace are complicated. To put it bluntly, they are no less experienced than the newcomer Gu Zhiyin. If there are really bold ones who try to bully the master in different ways, Gu Zhiyin will not deal with them easily.

"Yes, old princess." Mother Yang replied.

However, the Princess of the County is the head of the family recognized by the old princess. Even if there are people who are really dissatisfied, can the old princess just watch the Princess of the County being bullied?

That can't be done.

Qionghua Courtyard.

Gu Zhiyin called Mother Hu over, dismissed everyone else, and left only Ruyi by her side.

After closing the door, a slight sense of oppression filled the quiet air, which made Mother Hu feel creepy.

She glanced at Gu Zhiyin who was sitting at the top, and couldn't help asking, "The Princess asked me to come here. What do you want me to do?"

"Mother Hu, I thought you were older, more experienced, and a smart person. You just followed me into the palace, and before you even got your feet firmly planted, you're already eager to betray me. Mother is your master, but am I not? Or do you think I can't do anything to you without your indenture in hand?"

Gu Zhiyin's cold voice was like a huge rock pressing down on Mother Hu.

Mother Hu was frightened and knelt down hurriedly, saying nervously and doubtfully: "Princess, please calm down. I wonder what I have done wrong?"

"I don't know?" Gu Zhiyin looked at her expressionlessly and said in a deep voice, "When I returned home today, my second sister said in front of everyone that the Princess of the County abandoned me on the wedding night. Didn't you and Huilan tell her? Humiliating me is a small matter, but how about the reputation of the Pingyang Palace?"

Mother Hu cried out in injustice: "Princess, please understand, I have never told the Second Miss about this matter."

"If it's not you, could it be someone from the palace?"

Mother Hu's face flushed red. She wanted to put the blame on the people in the palace, but she had to make people believe it.

She and Huilan were arranged by the Madam to be with the Princess, and the indentures were also in the Madam's hands. No matter how you look at it, they were the more suspicious.

But the fact is that she was really wronged.

Even if she wanted to sow discord, she had just entered the palace and did not dare to offend the Princess. Otherwise, even if she did not hold her indenture contract, the Princess would have many ways to deal with her.

"I swear I have never said a word to the Second Young Miss. It must have been Huilan who said it." Mother Hu raised her finger and swore with a serious expression, as if she was about to take out her heart to prove it.

"Hui Lan will be dealt with by her mother. Even if I don't care about a servant who dares to cause trouble, I can't let him stay in the Prince of Pingyang's mansion."

Mother Hu was shocked when she heard this. No wonder Huilan didn't come back with the Princess.

So?

The Princess of the County would not keep her.

He was sent back for making a mistake, slapped his wife in the face, and had not yet been rewarded with any merit. Even if he had not been sold out, Mother Hu could foresee her miserable life in the future.

What made her even more upset was that she hadn't done anything!

Mother Hu felt like a dumb person eating bitter herbs, unable to express her grievances.

Suddenly, a flash of light flashed through Mother Hu’s mind. If she was sent back to the Gu Mansion, she would lose the favor of the lady. So what if she stayed?

If the princess really wanted to punish me, she would never have called her into the room and said so many words to her. She should have just sent her back without saying anything!

In other words, the Princess was forcing her to make a decision.

Choose a wife, or choose her!

Thinking about this, Mother Hu quickly glanced at Gu Zhiyin and gritted her teeth: Let’s bet!

"Please have mercy on me, Princess. Don't drive me out of the palace. I will go through fire and water for you from now on."

A good apple chooses the right tree to roost in. Anyway, she would have no future if she returned to the Gu family. Since the Princess of the County has warned her, she must have some use for her.

"But mother..."

"Ever since I was assigned to the Princess' side, I have been her servant. From now on, the Princess will be my only master." Mother Hu said.

Gu Zhiyin looked at her for a long time and smiled: "Bring me your indenture, and I will believe you."

Mother Hu is not alone, so she doesn't have the indenture contract in hand, and Gu Zhiyin is not at all reassured about using her.

Huilan has been a problem since her last life, so there is no way she can be useful again in this life.

But this Mother Hu, after all, is an old woman who has been immersed in the back house for many years, and she does have some skills.

It’s not that she doesn’t trust the servants in the palace, but they are from the Gu family and their interests are tied to hers, so it’s easier for her to use them in the short term.

Ruyi is young and not experienced enough in doing things. It is inconvenient for Mother Yang to handle many things regarding her private property, but Mother Hu is just the right person for her.
