Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder is Very Leisurely

When Steward Wu reached the door, Shen Yan suddenly called out to him and instructed, "Steward Wu, I remember there are some jewels bestowed by the Emperor in the storeroom. Go and select some suitable ones and send them to Miss Jiang."

"In whose name was it sent this time?"

Butler Wu felt he was getting old and couldn't understand what His Highness was thinking. It was clearly his own courtyard, yet he insisted on deceiving Miss Jiang into believing it belonged to General Qi. Furthermore, before Miss Jiang had even agreed to move in, His Highness hurriedly sent people to clean the courtyard and prepare everything needed inside.

Fortunately, although the courtyard had been empty, Butler Wu had assigned people to guard it and clean it regularly, which is why everything was taken care of in a short time.

Butler Wu was very certain that this Miss Jiang must be His Highness's beloved, so he took her very seriously.

"Use my name and say it's a gift from me to Miss Jiang as a token of our neighborly intimacy. Oh, and send another reliable person with you. Remember not to reveal your identity to Miss Jiang."

"Yes, this old servant will take care of it right away."

Only Shen Yan remained in the room, so he put down his book, stood by the window, and gazed at the scenery outside, lost in thought.

Shen Yan himself didn't know what was wrong with him. He had only met Jiang Yunuan a few times before, so why was he so concerned when he heard that she didn't have a place to stay?

Then I went to great lengths to make her feel comfortable.

"Miss, someone from the Prince of Yan's residence has arrived." Chun Tao came in from outside to inform Yu Nuan that guests had come.

Yu Nuan followed Chun Tao to the reception hall and saw a middle-aged man in his thirties standing there. This man was sent by Butler Wu to deliver jewelry to Yu Nuan.

"Greetings, Miss Jiang. This servant is a servant of the Prince of Yan's residence. His Highness heard that Miss Jiang lives next door and sent this servant to deliver a gift to you."

After the visitor bowed very respectfully to Yu Nuan, he explained his purpose and then gestured to the maid behind him to display the jewelry one by one.

Yu Nuan could tell at a glance that these jewels were definitely not ordinary, and she quickly declined, saying, "These are too precious, please forgive me for not accepting them. Please go back and tell your prince that I have received your sentiments, but I will not accept the gifts."

"Miss Jiang, please don't make things difficult for me. If you don't accept it, it means I've failed in my duty, and I'll definitely be punished when I get back."

The person sent looked troubled, then forcefully put the things down and took his leave.

Yu Nuan didn't even have a chance to refuse.

"Miss, what should we do with these?" Qingyi had never encountered anyone forcibly giving gifts before. These valuable jewels couldn't just be thrown away!

"Keep them for now, and return them to His Highness Prince Yan when the opportunity arises." Yu Nuan summoned Chun Tao and Xia He, and instructed them, "You two take people to move these things into an empty room, lock them up, and make sure they are not lost." If they are lost, it will be difficult to return them later.

"Got it, miss."

Now, Chuntao and Xiahe understood the importance of Yu Nuan in His Highness's heart. Perhaps before long, this Miss Jiang would become the future mistress of the Yan Prince's mansion.

Yu Nuan wasn't used to having strangers around, so only Qingyi stayed in the courtyard where she lived, in the room next to hers.

At night, Chuntao and Xiahe slept in the same room.

In the stillness of the night, Chun Tao, having moved to a different spot, couldn't fall asleep, so she quietly called out to Xia He, "Xia He, are you asleep?"

Hearing Chuntao's call, Xiahe turned over and lay facing Chuntao, replying, "No, that's all."

"Xiahe, I can't sleep. I miss the little house we used to live in."

At the Prince of Yan's residence, the two of them also slept in the same room.

"Chuntao, you really can't stand a good life! The rooms here are so big and bright, how can you miss your old little house?" Xiahe rolled her eyes in the darkness.

The Prince of Yan's mansion had many servants. Although the mansion was large, the living quarters for these servants were cramped and secluded. Otherwise, why would so many maids want to climb into the Prince of Yan's bed? If they were lucky, they could be taken as his concubines and live a good life.

Chun Tao pursed her lips and didn't say anything. After a while, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Xia He, who exactly is this Miss Jiang? I don't think she's one of those noble ladies from the capital. But His Highness really likes Miss Jiang. He gave her such precious jewelry."

"Chuntao, you dare not discuss the master's affairs in private. Be careful, or Steward Wu will pull out your tongue and kick you out of the manor," Xia He sternly reprimanded Chuntao.

Chun Tao was startled and explained in a low voice, "There's no one else here, that's why I dared to say it."

"I know, but I'm worried that if you go out and talk nonsense, no one can save you then." Xia He was only trying to help Chun Tao.

"Yes, thank you, Xia He."

"Alright, hurry up and go to sleep. You still have to serve Miss tomorrow," Xia He urged.

The room quieted down, and soon both of them drifted off to sleep.

The next day, Chun Tao woke up early, full of energy. Her first words were: "Xia He, we must serve Miss well. Maybe we can rise to prominence with Miss's help in the future."

"I think you're still asleep!" Xia He gently tapped Chun Tao's forehead and said with a smile, "Alright, get up quickly and help Miss get up."

The two hurriedly went to the kitchen, fetched hot water, and waited outside the Yu Nuan room.

Qingyi came out of the room, stretched, and saw two maids who had been left behind by Steward Wu yesterday standing at the door. Qingyi walked over to them and instructed them, "Miss is not awake yet, please do not wake her."

“We know, Sister Qingyi. Do you know when Miss gets up? This hot water is being carried outside, and it will get cold soon.” Chun Tao called her sister sweetly, hoping that Qingyi could tell them some things to pay attention to when serving Yu Nuan.

"You don't need to wait outside. I'll call you to bring water when Miss wakes up. Miss changed to a new place last night, and I don't know if she slept well, so I don't know when she'll wake up."

Qingyi glanced at Yu Nuan's room. It was quiet inside, so she knew that Yu Nuan was still sleeping. She must have gone to bed late last night and woke up late this morning.

Turning her head, she saw two maids looking at her anxiously. Qingyi smiled and reassured them, "It's alright, Miss has a very good temper. As long as you don't do anything excessive, she won't be angry."

"We certainly won't do anything to upset Miss," Chun Tao quickly swore.

Qingyi smiled and said, "Alright, let's go to the kitchen first. Miss usually eats something light in the morning. I'll go see what ingredients we have. You two come with me."

Chuntao and Xiahe hesitated for a moment, and finally Xiahe continued to ask for confirmation: "Sister Qingyi, if we leave like this, won't Miss be angry if she wakes up and doesn't see us?"

"Really, no, you can trust me! I've been by Miss's side for almost ten years. Don't I know what kind of person she is? Besides, Miss really won't blame you for such a small thing. I'll take responsibility for anything."

Seeing that the two were still hesitant, Qingyi patted her chest and assured them.
