The metaphysics expert transmigrates one day and surprisingly becomes the real young miss who is not doted on by her father or loved by her mother.
How can she indulge their bad habits?
In the years before Yun Wanwan married into Prince An's Mansion, Nanny Su was in charge of the mansion's warehouse, and the housekeeper was in charge of the mansion's accounts.
Yun Wanwan didn't take it, but simply said to Nanny Su, "As the princess, I should be aware of what's in the palace's storeroom. Nanny Su, please compile a list for me to review."
"As for the key..." She shook her head, "It will remain in Madam Su's hands. Although I am the princess consort above Princess An, I don't want to take all the power into my own hands. Madam, you have been in charge all these years, so you should continue to be in charge from now on. However, the responsibilities of Princess An should still be borne by me."
After saying this, Yun Wanwan turned to the housekeeper and said, "I've always had a problem with numbers. Even with this account book in my hands, I still can't figure it out. I trust you the most with the accounting department. If you find anything wrong, just report the accounts to me once a month."
Yun Wanwan expressed her stance. As the princess, she naturally had to take the responsibility, but she didn't want the power. Even if she was given the power, she wouldn't be able to manage it. She just wanted to be a hands-off boss.
This made Nanny Su and the housekeeper very embarrassed. Nanny Su hurriedly advised, "Princess, this is illogical. Every mistress of a household is responsible for keeping accounts. If this gets out, everyone will think you and the prince are not on good terms. Those idle ladies in the capital love to gossip about this. If it gets spread from one person to ten, from ten to a hundred, who knows what will happen."
Yun Wanwan shook her head and said, "There's no need to care about it. This is all happening in our own mansion. If you don't mention it and I don't, who would know? The rules you make are the rules. Besides, I'm always troubled by these things. Even if you give it to me, you might still have to sort it out in the end."
"This will waste a lot of time. It would be better to hand it over to you from the beginning and save a lot of effort. I'm handing these over to you because I trust you and am willing to let you take charge. That's my logic."
"Even if it gets out, no matter what they say, Rong Chengxuan and I live our lives behind closed doors. How can those people point fingers at us?"
After hearing her words, the two men gave up their insistence. The princess had already said so much, and to say anything more would be naive. They didn't say anything more, but once again expressed their loyalty to Yun Wanwan, promising to assist her in running the Prince An's mansion. Then, at Yun Wanwan's signal, the steward and the servants withdrew.
Nanny Su took Yun Wanwan and several maids who had been serving Yun Wanwan back to the backyard.
Nanny Su said as she walked, "I had written to ask for the prince's permission before. After all, the princess and the prince left in a hurry and had not yet had time to prepare for the wedding night. So I asked the prince if he wanted to decorate the bridal chamber again. After the prince replied to the letter, I had people start preparing it."
"If the princess needs anything else, please tell me and I will send someone to prepare it immediately. If the princess needs anything, please tell me directly and I will have someone prepare everything for her."
Yun Wanwan blushed with embarrassment. No wonder Rong Chengxuan hurriedly pulled her back from the border and was so mysterious along the way. It turned out that he had this in mind.
Yun Wanwan knew that things had come to this point, and she couldn't escape it no matter what. What else could she be dissatisfied with? Could she still tell Madam Su that she was dissatisfied with Rong Chengxuan as her husband and asked Madam Su to change her for someone else?
The decoration of Rong Chengxuan's courtyard was not much different from the day when Yun Wanwan and Rong Chengxuan got married. It was still all red.
This also gave Yun Wanwan an illusion, vaguely feeling that this was still the day of her wedding with Rong Chengxuan, and they had just left the house and returned.
There was still "jujube and osmanthus seeds" scattered on Rong Chengxuan's bed, which made Yun Wanwan blush and she almost left the house and never came back.
Yun Wanwan calmed herself down and waited until the blush faded before she said to Nanny Su, "These maids have prepared very well. Wanwan naturally doesn't need anything else."
Nanny Su beamed with joy. Everything she had done was according to Rong Chengxuan's instructions in advance, and she had even added a few more according to her own ideas. She had been worried that Yun Wanwan wouldn't like it, but now that she had received Yun Wanwan's praise, she was naturally delighted. "As long as the princess likes it, I'm glad. If you need to change anything in the future, just let me know."
"Apart from these, there is something else I need to ask the princess. I should have told her this when she entered the house. It's all because of that Xi Zhou man. Otherwise, you wouldn't have wasted so much time with the prince." Nanny Su complained angrily about the damn Xi Zhou man in her eyes.
Yun Wanwan was indifferent after hearing this. Although the people of the Western Zhou Dynasty were indeed quite "deadly", they were still worthy of praise. After all, only the Gu family could do such a talented thing as sending their country thousands of miles away. "It's not too late to talk about it now. If you calculate carefully, Rong Chengxuan and I are still newlyweds."
"Princess, the prince's courtyard never had maids before. Only the old servants would come here from time to time to take care of it, and all other matters were handled by the servants. Now that the princess has entered the mansion, do you think we should add some more staff to the courtyard? It just so happens that we have recently bought some new maids. Princess, why don't you take a look at them first and see if you like them and take them in to serve you."
Yun Wanwan knew that Rong Chengxuan's courtyard didn't need maids. Before she was gone, Rong Chengxuan had only employed servants, which was acceptable. But now that she was living there, using servants was against the rules. That was why Nanny Su came to ask Yun Wanwan if she wanted to add some maids she liked to the courtyard.
Yun Wanwan said, "We can just add a few maids to the courtyard to do the rough work, and the maids who already serve me can handle the personal matters. Most of these maids were originally sent from Prince An's Mansion, and they were chosen by Rong Chengxuan himself. I don't think he will say anything."
Nanny Su nodded and said, "This old servant also thinks so. After all, if these unfamiliar faces are allowed to serve the princess, the prince will not be at ease."
After saying this, Nanny Su pointed behind herself and said, "These six girls were selected by me first. They are all smart and capable, and their personalities are not bad. Princess, please try them out for a while. If you feel they are not suitable, I will find some more."
