Rebirth and Revenge: The Imperial Master’s Pampering of Me is Addicting Me

Nanny probably couldn't understand Shentu Yu's anger, so she remained silent, and even the smile on her face didn't change much.

"Perhaps that person is ill again, which is why they're delayed. However, according to the delegation's pace, they should arrive today even if it's late. You can go to the inn and rest for a while until the delegation arrives, and then we can go back."

That's all it can do now.

Shentu Yu snorted in annoyance, but when he saw the beautiful new jewelry he had bought, his expression relaxed and he smiled a little. Then he lowered his head and began to play with them.

She was completely unaware of the mocking look in the nanny's eyes as she looked at her. She then shifted her gaze away unnoticeably and looked at the outside environment again, her cloudy eyes filled with coldness.

Now that we are here, it is time to put some plans on the agenda.

(Gu Mansion)

Gu Chengjin had a rare chance to rest today, so after finishing his work, he simply stayed by his wife's side and kept talking to her.

There have been so many things going on in the capital these days that he hasn't been able to spare the time to spend with his wife.

On the contrary, Fang Jiale disliked his clinginess, so he pushed him aside in a few seconds, turned around, sat down behind the table and started to get busy.

The servants in the house had already been called by the two men to guard outside the door, so naturally no one would see what they were doing in the house.

Gu Chengjin simply sat down next to the lady without any hesitation and asked her curiously.

"Yue Niang, what are you doing? Why are you counting the warehouse? Are there any big expenses at home? If it's not enough, I still have some salary."

The couple has a deep affection for each other and knows where each other keeps their money, but they don't keep them together on purpose. Except for some things that must be put in the warehouse, whoever needs it can take it.

Fang Jiale was used to him pestering her, so he didn't bother to pay attention to him and just checked the account book in his hand and spoke in a bad mood.

"It's all your precious son's fault! At first, I said I should go find Sister Qin and settle the marriage as soon as possible, but you and your father-in-law insisted on waiting. Now that I've waited, your son insists that I go and propose to him. You two really let everything be decided by you two."

This is why she has been so busy these past few days. Giving a betrothal gift to her beloved daughter-in-law naturally requires careful consideration. No matter what kind of ornaments or jewelry, she has to choose the best! Ali deserves it!

Gu Chengjin really didn't know about this. He raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise, "So Ah Heng told you this specifically before the exam?"

Fang Jiale was flipping through the account book in his hand, checking each item one by one, and couldn't help rolling his eyes when he heard him talking.

"What else? If your precious son hadn't secretly begged me, would I have been so busy these past few days? Does he even know that he has to choose a time and gift for the engagement ceremony? I'm almost dying of work. If you can't help, don't bother me!"

There was a lot of resentment in his wife's tone. Gu Chengjin shrank his head and coughed twice, then smiled and came over to coax her.

"Alright, alright, wait until he finishes his exams and comes out to help me vent my anger, okay? Don't be angry, Yue Niang. I don't know much about this. How about I help you check it?"

When he made the betrothal gift, it was his mother who took care of everything personally. He really didn't understand the process very well, so he could only help check the goods in the warehouse.

It just so happened that Fang Jiale had been staring at the account book for a long time and her eyes were almost blurry. After checking a page, she quickly stood up and rudely pushed her husband back to the place where she had just sat. She felt a lot more relaxed.

"Okay, you check the quantity and items. I'll go to the warehouse and check again myself, and pick out some more good stuff for Ahri."

She hurriedly left the house and went to check the warehouse, completely unaware of her husband's resentful gaze behind her.

For the first time, Gu Chengjin felt like crying but had no tears while holding the pen. His eyelashes drooped and he felt inexplicably aggrieved. Then he sighed and lowered his head to get busy.

He clearly wanted his wife to stay with him before starting the calculation, but who knew that after he agreed, his wife ran away again. His plan to stay with his wife ended in vain, and he would have to hold that brat responsible for this!

It’s not easy to marry a wife these days, and it’s even harder to marry a daughter-in-law.

.....

(Changfu)

Although winter has not yet arrived, the atmosphere in the Chang Mansion is unusually cold and stiff, especially in the backyard.

The person who was cursing and throwing a tantrum in the room at this moment was Chang Min, the Chang Zhanshi of the Zhanshi Mansion. He walked around with a gloomy face.

Mrs. Chang's face was also full of sorrow, and she was extremely anxious as she held her crying daughter in her arms.

"Master, what's the point of losing your temper now that things have come to this? You might as well think about how to salvage the situation! Otherwise, let's find a way to ask the princess for mercy. After all, we ended up like this because we were helping the county magistrate."

Chang Min's face was very gloomy and his heart was full of anger.

Who could have imagined that the Mu family was so ruthless? In just a few days, they had collected a lot of evidence of him accepting bribes and handed it directly to the newly appointed Minister of Justice.

It is said that a new official has three things to do when he takes office. He was thinking about how to establish his authority and consolidate his position, so he simply made an example of him and started an investigation without letting him leave the house.

The eldest princess is a person who is motivated by profit. If there are not enough benefits to impress her...how could she be willing to offend the newly appointed Minister of Justice for him?

Seeing that her father remained silent, Chang Yun became very panicked and couldn't help but shout angrily with red eyes.

"It's all Mu Qingli's fault. If she hadn't been so picky about me, how could things have turned out like this?"

She just wanted someone, but that person obviously had so many things but refused to give them up, so that after her reputation was ruined, even her father's official position was shaky.

Little did she know that it would have been fine if she didn't say anything. As soon as she opened her mouth, Chang Min became even angrier and almost yelled at her in anger.

"How dare you bring yourself to drag someone else into this? If you weren't selfishly plotting against someone behind my back with Hui Ning, how could you be so foolish as to be plotted against? Every time you jump out to embarrass someone else, you're the one who ends up being embarrassed, right?"

Chang Min was so angry that he covered his chest and felt a little dizzy.

How could he, who had been so wise all his life, give birth to such a stupid kid? Not only had he offended the General's Mansion, but now even the princess might have to abandon them, and he might even lose his official position.

Chang Yun didn't expect her father to be so angry. She was so scared that her body trembled and then the tears in the corners of her eyes became more and more violent. She quickly hid in her mother's arms and sobbed.

How could she know that Mu Qingli was so lucky? He could always escape danger!

Mrs. Chang still felt sorry for her daughter. She hugged her daughter and comforted her for a few words before looking up.

"We've worked hard for the Princess's Mansion over the years, even if we haven't done anything great. They can't just abandon us when something goes wrong, right?"
