"Did the prince really ask you to go to the Prince's Mansion?" Twelve was puzzled. If he went to the Prince's Mansion, would Song Yushu be considered a member of Prince Jing's Mansion or the Prince's Mansion?
Song Yushu patted Twelve's shoulder and said, "Of course, I am still considered a member of Prince Jing's Mansion. I'm sorry for your hard work."
"Does the prince trust you so much?" Twelve looked Song Yushu up and down. "You've already gone to the Crown Prince's Mansion. What if you betray him?"
"Thank you so much for saying it to my face." Song Yushu stared at Twelve with wide eyes, feeling insulted. "Is that how I feel?"
"It's hard to predict people's hearts." Twelve snorted with his hands folded, not feeling that he had insulted Song Yushu at all.
"All my power was approved by the prince and was acquired with the money and jewels from the palace. The prince knows how many people I have and what I have done. Do you think I can rebel?" Song Yushu knew that Twelve was a martial arts fanatic and she spoke very directly. He had to explain things clearly to her to avoid any misunderstanding.
Twelve had not thought of this, but after listening to what Song Yushu said, he finally understood.
The prince and Song Yushu are both cunning people, and they really follow their master's lead.
Seeing that Twelve didn't respond and just stared at him, Song Yushu had to force a fake smile and said, "I have to go and clean up the house. Do you want to come with me?"
"No." Twelve turned and left. What she hated most were the trivial matters in the inner house. Many times, if Song Yushu hadn't stopped her, she would have taken action directly.
People with great martial arts skills are so willful. Song Yushu smiled and shook her head. She didn't know when she would go to the Prince's Mansion, but it was not far away. She had to settle the affairs in the palace.
Song Yushu first found Nanny Chen, and to show her respect, she went to Nanny Chen's residence in person.
Seeing Song Yushu coming, the maids who were talking in the yard immediately stood up and saluted respectfully.
"Just do your own thing, Nanny Chen. I have something to tell you." Song Yushu waved his hand, signaling the maids to disperse.
When Song Yushu was in charge of the palace, she was not like other managers who only valued her own people. She only emphasized clear rewards and punishments and acted according to the rules. After the maids and servants got used to it, they all felt very good, so they also respected Song Yushu very much.
"Yes, Eunuch Song, please follow me." Nanny Chen stepped forward and guided Song Yushu to her bedroom.
After Song Yushu sat down, he took out the seal he carried with him and placed it on the table. This was a seal of the Chief Secretary that combined the five major seals. It was magnificent and low-key and luxurious.
Nanny Chen looked at Song Yushu in confusion, "What are you doing?"
"Madame Chen, I won't beat around the bush with you. You are an elder in the mansion and are loyal to the prince. I have not been in the mansion for some time, and I hope that you, Madame Chen, can serve the prince and manage the mansion on my behalf." Song Yushu looked at Madame Chen sincerely.
Nanny Chen was startled and stood up hurriedly, "Eunuch Song, what are you talking about? I absolutely did not—"
"Don't worry, Madam Chen. I don't have any other intentions." Song Yushu quickly interrupted Madam Chen and stood up to comfort her. "I really will be leaving the palace for a while. I can't trust anyone else but you. Please sit down and I'll talk to you slowly."
Nanny Chen was brought up by her godfather. She is old-fashioned, but very loyal and has no ulterior motives. She is a trustworthy person.
Seeing that Song Yushu was very serious, Nanny Chen sat down.
"Did something happen?" Although Nanny Chen was no longer so shocked, she asked Song Yushu with great concern, "Is there anything I can help with? Is it about the prince? I am now one of the heads and can also ask for an audience with the prince. Why not..."
Song Yushu shook his head. "It's not that the prince wants to remove me, but I will most likely have to stay in the Crown Prince's Mansion for a while, so I can only trouble Nanny Chen to take charge of the Chief Secretary's Seal."
"Go to the Prince's Mansion?!" Nanny Chen was confused for a moment. She didn't know why the Chief Secretary of Prince Jing's Mansion went back to the Prince's Mansion. During this period, Song Yushu was in great favor.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was in a good mood on the spur of the moment, and Your Highness couldn't refute him, so he had to agree. As a servant, I naturally had to obey his orders." Song Yushu sighed, elevating his image a lot.
After hearing what Song Yushu said, Nanny Chen also realized how difficult this matter was. She frowned and said, "Then there really is no solution."
Ever since Lu Zhixing became blind, the Jing Palace has also fallen into decline. A disabled prince has lost his power and has had a hard time most of the time. How could he disobey the prince's wishes?
"Yes, although I really want to continue serving the prince, I have no choice due to the situation. However, I believe that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is just acting on impulse, and the prince will take me back." Song Yushu pushed the Chief Secretary's Seal towards Nanny Chen again, "You are the person I trust most in this mansion."
Nanny Chen watched Song Yushu grow up, and he was like a mother to her. Her eyes were moist as she respectfully held the seal of the Chief Historian in her hands, "Don't worry, I will help you manage the palace and wait for your return."
"I feel relieved with your words." Song Yushu stood up and bowed to Nanny Chen as a junior.
After talking to Nanny Chen about what was happening in the mansion, Song Yushu went to the heads of the household one by one over the next few days and summoned the corresponding servants and maids to reprimand them one by one. Anyone who did not follow the rules would be severely punished.
"Eunuch Song, please spare my life!"
Some of those who were sneaky and had contact with outsiders were all sold out by Song Yushu or sent to the inner prison. Upon hearing the punishment, many of them fainted, and some lay on the ground begging for mercy.
"Eunuch Song, what are you doing?" The managers were all frightened. They didn't expect Song Yushu to do this suddenly.
"I've already given them a chance, but they didn't take it. Since they disregarded the rules I set, they should have anticipated the outcome." Song Yu looked at the heads with a fake smile. "If you have any objections, you can raise them with the prince. We're always here for you."
Tell the prince? Would that be helpful? The prince dotes on Song Yushu to the skies. Whatever he does is right. How could the prince object?
The leaders were choked and their faces flushed, and they could only watch their subordinates being either betrayed or imprisoned.
The masters didn't dare to say anything, but the new guards who had been promoted in recent years were very dissatisfied. Their family backgrounds were better than those of the servants and maids, and they had always looked down on Song Yushu, who was a eunuch. Now that Song Yushu wanted to punish them, they naturally would not obey.
Especially the third-class guard Jiang Ye, who had completely forgotten that Song Yushu had treated him before. He looked at Song Yushu with impatience, "You dare to touch my people?!"
