The Wen family was a hell of a place. Although Wen was the eldest daughter, she was born out of wedlock. In order to escape from that family, she tried every means to make the old princess notice her and choose her.

She was also prepared to not have her own children in this life.

Over the years, I can't say how well she has done, but she has never had any ill intentions. In fact, it was the old princess who was more concerned about raising the two children. After the two grew up, she unexpectedly became pregnant.

The birth of this child was sudden, even though she had taken a sterilizing drug at the beginning. The old princess was shocked, but considering that she had worked hard over the years without any credit, she tacitly agreed to let her give birth to her child.

After all, they are the bloodline of the Fu family. Although the old princess loves Fu Yunyao and Fu Yunjing, she will not be so cruel as to abandon the Wen family's children.

After all, he is her grandson.

While Wen was grateful, he became even more cautious about making mistakes.

Gu Zhiyin had to take charge of the household as soon as she married into the palace, and she was extremely jealous, but the thought only flashed through her mind.

In everything, there are gains and losses.

It was precisely because of Fu Yunjing's absurdity that the old princess felt guilty towards Gu Zhiyin, so she handed over the power of the family to her to make up for it.

It's only been a few days, and they actually found the fault of Manager Qi, and dealt with him swiftly and decisively, which shocked those old guys.

Among these people, it is likely that Shopkeeper Qi is not the only one who is corrupt, but the way others are corrupt is not as ugly as his. Gu Zhiyin did not condemn them all at once, but first killed the chicken to scare the monkeys, and then adopted a soft strategy, and did not mention the problems with other account books.

With Manager Qi leading the way, the rest of the people will be much more well-behaved, at least for a short period of time.

Wen couldn't help but admire it sincerely in her heart.

At the same time, the old princess was full of praise for Gu Zhiyin. She was so happy that she even ate an extra bowl of rice and an extra plate of dessert.

"Look at how capable my granddaughter-in-law is. She has found such a deep problem in such a short time. That Qi is so cunning. Even though I suspected that he had a problem, I could never find out his tail. Yinyin is amazing. She has found the problem with so many account books. She has a sharp eye. The Fu family will prosper if it is handed over to her."

The old princess said with a smile as she reached into the plate.

Before I could even get the pastries, the whole plate was taken away by Qin's mother.

"I know you are happy, but Doctor Liu said that you should not eat too much sweets. You have eaten too much today."

Uh……

The old princess was dumbfounded, staring blankly at Mother Qin who turned around decisively: "Eat another piece, and I'll eat another piece."

What responded to her was the ruthless and indifferent back of Qin's mother.

After Gu Zhiyin met the shopkeepers of various shops, he invited several managers from the village to come to his house for a meeting three days later.

There were about ten managers in the manor, both big and small. They were sitting together staring at each other, not saying anything, but communicating with their eyes.

They had all heard about how the Princess dealt with Shopkeeper Qi in a swift and decisive manner. Some were extremely nervous, fearing that they would be caught without any evidence, while others were dismissive, thinking that Gu Zhiyin was young and had just met with good luck, or at worst that the old Princess was deliberately creating momentum for her, and Shopkeeper Qi just happened to be the unlucky one.

Everyone waited for a long time and refilled their tea three times before Gu Zhiyin finally arrived.

"Your servant greets the Princess, and I wish you all the best." The stewards stood up and saluted.

This time, it was Mother Yang who came with Gu Zhiyin. She was not holding a thick booklet, but only a roll of paper in her hand.

"All of you stewards are old people in the palace, right? Many of you have worked in the Fu family for generations and are deeply trusted by my grandmother and father."

"Yes."

"Grandmother is kind and generous. Although you are slaves, she allows you to live a life of luxury. But how do some of you repay the Pingyang Palace?"

"You rely on your master's trust to do evil things on the farm and bully men and women. Those who know you are servants of the palace, and those who don't know think you are the masters of the Pingyang Palace."

At the end, Gu Zhiyin's voice suddenly rose, shocking the managers in front of him and making them kneel down one after another.

"Princess Princess, please be wise. I would never dare to do such a evil thing." Someone said in a panic.

Gu Zhiyin looked sullen and did not respond. Instead, he glanced around coldly and said in a cold voice: "Manager Zhao, Manager Wu, Manager Zhang..."

She called several people in succession. The people who were called shuddered, looked at each other and replied, "The slave is here!"

"These are the charges against you that were dictated by the tenants and servants in the farm, written down by my people, and signed by them." As Gu Zhiyin spoke, Mother Yang shook out the papers in her hand.

It is about one meter long, and the densely packed handprints on it are enough to make one's scalp tingle.

Several managers were terrified. He had clearly told his subordinates to keep a close eye on the shop the day before yesterday. Now that the princess had checked the shop, she would definitely inquire about the manor next.

When did she get these things?

"Princess, I am innocent." A steward suddenly shouted, "You can't believe their one-sided words. They are clearly slandering me."

Gu Zhiyin sneered and said nothing more. He just shouted towards the door, "Come in, officers."

As he was speaking, four men in police uniforms walked in. They first clasped their fists towards Gu Zhiyin and said, “Greetings, Princess.”

Gu Zhiyin smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

"I don't deserve it." The leading constable said politely, and then waved his hand: "Take them all away."

The remaining three constables, with the cooperation of the servants in the palace, tied up Manager Zhao and several others.

"I want to see the old princess, I want to see the prince, you can't arrest me." Manager Zhao struggled desperately, staring at Gu Zhiyin with murderous eyes.

"Behave yourself." A constable kicked him and said viciously, "How dare a slave be so arrogant? Go to the government office and shout."

Soon, the constable took his men away.

Gu Zhiyin looked at the stewards in front of him who dared not even breathe, and said expressionlessly: "Remember your identities. Don't think that your grandmother's charity can cover the sky with one hand. If you can't sit well in this position, there are many people willing to take over."

"As you command," everyone responded hurriedly.

"Back off." Gu Zhiyin said.

These are slaves who have sold themselves to the palace. They are different from the shop owners. There is no need to give them a beating and then a sweet reward. Only by suppressing them all at once can they become fearful.

The several managers who were taken away were charged with treason and were all beaten to death.

As early as when she took over the management of the household, she asked Mother Qin to call the trusted servants in the mansion and quietly visit various farms.

At first, the victims refused to testify because they were afraid of retaliation, and she spent a lot of time and energy to convince them.

Just let them go like that?

After being stunned, everyone quickly said goodbye and left.

The moment they stepped out of the palace gate, many people felt as if they had survived a disaster.
