Shocked! I've become a female-dominated powerhouse!

"I can't find Young Master Mu Yan." The palace maid pressed her head firmly to the ground, her body trembling, afraid of incurring her master's wrath.

"What did you say?!" The First Princess Consort Wang Shengxiao could hardly believe her ears.

Young Master Mu Yan was hired at a high price to keep things quiet, but he lost two million at the casino and now he's gone missing!

"Find them! Whether they are alive or dead, find them for me!"

"Yes, sir!" The palace maid received the order and hurriedly went downstairs, fearing something might happen.

Wang Shengxiao, still inside the room, couldn't help but want to lose his temper.

"Nonsense! Nonsense!" Wang Shengxiao shouted through gritted teeth.

"My lady." At this moment, the eldest prince, who had been hiding behind the screen, came out and came to Wang Shengxiao's side.

Wang Shengxiao managed to control his temper somewhat.

"Rong'er, you heard it too."

"Hmm, what does the mistress think of that Miao Yi? Could his previous playboy persona have been an act?" the eldest prince, Mu Lianrong, asked with some concern.

"We can't go there to confirm this yet. We need to bring Mu Yan back and ask her what happened," Wang Shengxiao said, holding the First Prince's hand.

"I'm afraid that Miao Yi was just pretending before, and as for the Empress... I don't know what will happen then." This is what Mu Lianrong is most worried about.

The empress has only three princes. Who will be the next emperor depends on the wives of the princes.

How can these things not cause concern?

Mu Lianrong suddenly said, "Isn't that why Miao Yi went along with the plan and married that fool!"

"Probably not. Miao Yi's affection for the Second Prince doesn't seem fake." Wang Shengxiao recalled the past. Miao Yi's eyes were never fake. If they were fake... then Miao Yi was too terrifying.

Besides, if she were really faking it, she wouldn't have been bullied and manipulated by a few men in the Prince of Nanyan's mansion.

After a moment of silence, the eldest prince Cheng Mo asked Wang Shengxiao, "How is the second prince doing?"

The second princess was lured away by them, but the second prince has not made any move yet.

"Second Prince was initially hesitant, but after what happened at the gambling den today, I imagine he'll go back to find Miao Yi. I just don't know what Miao Yi will do." Wang Shengxiao had some expectations beforehand, but after what happened at the gambling den, she didn't believe that someone could win every bet without some kind of skill.

So she was also a little uncertain.

"I have someone keep a close eye on things," Mu Lianrong said.

"That's all we can do for now." A dark glint flashed in Wang Shengxiao's eyes; she was determined to take that position.

Wang Shengxiao quickly composed herself, her eyes filled with tenderness as she embraced the eldest prince, Mu Lianrong, saying, "Rong'er, you've worked hard."

"My lady~" Suddenly embraced, Mu Lianrong blushed, his eyes filled with affection.

"Is my husband ready to rest?"

"My lady...we'll have to wait until daytime."

"So what if it's daytime?"

"Ah!"

…………

Miao Yi listed some items and asked the steward to find them. When the steward looked at the list and hesitated because of the money, Miao Yi took out 150,000 taels of silver notes.

"Is this enough?" Miao Yi wasn't quite sure about the prices of these items, so this was all she could give for now.

She needed to save the remaining 5 taels to sample other foods in the capital, many of which she had never tried before.

"Enough! That's more than enough! There might even be plenty left." The butler's eyes lit up when he saw the huge stack of banknotes.

This sum of over ten thousand taels is more than the entire usable money of their royal palace, after all, most of their royal palace is...

Things bestowed by His Majesty.

They couldn't move, the only one they could move was their foolish prince, but the prince himself was a fool, and no one dared to let him take it out.

If His Majesty finds out, he will think that it was done by these servants in collusion with the foolish prince, and their lives will be in danger.

Therefore, their royal residences were relatively poorer compared to those of other princes and ministers.

"Give the rest to Wei Pu and have her record it in the warehouse," Miao said.

The reason she was given a personal bodyguard was that Miao Yi was not used to Wei Pu's emotional outbursts, so she put her in charge of managing the palace's storeroom.

Mu Shengyuan was simple-minded, and the source and flow of money in the Prince's mansion were somewhat questionable, so it was a good opportunity to give her something to do.

Muse can also relax more, without having to constantly have a tagalong.

With Wei Pu joining the management of the Prince's Palace, many things became much easier.

For example, there are many different delicious things to eat every day.

"Yes." The butler received the order and quickly left.

Although I don't know if the princess needs these seemingly useless, yet quite expensive, ironware items, and some materials that I don't really understand.

She couldn't figure it out no matter what.

Miao then ordered someone to tidy up in a secluded backyard.

Setting up a workshop like this will make things much easier in the future.

After Miao Yi had given all the instructions, he went to find Mu Shengyuan.

Let's see if Xiao Ai has figured out what Xiao Fulang meant by "dirty".

When Miao Yi arrived at Mu Shengyuan's courtyard, Mu Shengyuan was happily counting the 1.3 million in his hand, looking very pleased.

She didn't seem to be sulking at all.

However, as soon as Miao Yi approached, Mu Shengyuan noticed her.

The smile on his face seemed to vanish instantly, replaced by a sullen expression.

Miao Yi: "..." Is she really not as good as that little bit of money?

Miao Yi couldn't help but feel a little sullen.

Miao Yi sat down opposite Mu Shengyuan with a blank expression, not saying a word, just staring intently at the person sitting opposite her.

Mu Shengyuan was also a little annoyed, so he sat there without saying a word, pretending not to see anyone, and continued counting the money.

But Miao Yi's presence was too strong. Even if he pretended that she didn't exist, he felt increasingly uneasy.

Mu Shengyuan stopped counting the money, looked up at Miao Yi, and asked, "Why aren't you saying anything?"

"You're not going to say anything." Miao Yi wasn't going to take the blame for this.

"If I don't speak, can't my wife speak first?" Mu Shengyuan looked at the somewhat persistent person in front of him and felt inexplicably wronged.

"..." Was this her fault?

Miao Yi really wanted to analyze the right and wrong of the matter, but Mu Shengyuan's slightly puffed-up face not only lacked dimples, but it also seemed that if she said anything more reasonable, the other party would cry.

...If she cries...

Miao Yi didn't want to imagine what would happen next.

She had no choice but to resolve the matter herself.

"Why do you say my hands are dirty?" Miao asked.

"..." Mu Shengyuan suddenly hesitated to speak, after all, he also felt that he had gone a bit too far.

"My husband thinks that Miao Yi touched someone else's hand, so his hand is dirty," Xiao Ai explained when she saw that her husband didn't speak.

It just asked the young husband, and the young husband, seeing that it wasn't a misconception, found it easier to speak, so he had no choice but to say something.

Moreover, he was a bit cunning; he wanted to use Xiao Ai to see how Miao Yi would react—whether she would continue to tolerate him, or whether he had crossed the line…

When Xiao Ai said it, Mu Shengyuan's face flushed, a mixture of worry and anticipation...

"Is that so?" Miao Yi was slightly taken aback, completely unexpected by this outcome.

And that Mu Yan...
