Looking at the crying Lin Chu Nuan, Lin's father was really overwhelmed, but in the end, he still couldn't resist her pleading.
"According to the rules, Ah Huan will return home in two days. If she is not valued by the palace then, then that's fine. If she is, perhaps you can think of a way to repair your relationship with her."
"After all, it was your mother and I who wronged her all these years. Who knows... maybe she'd be willing to help you."
Looking for Lin Chunhuan?
This answer naturally surprised Lin Chunuan, and she sat on the ground for the entire night.
Until the sky brightened and the birds outside the window chirped noisily, Lin Chunhuan slept soundly and was helped to wake up by Qiu Shuang.
"The princess is so beautiful." Qiu Shuang held the comb in one hand, her eyes never leaving Lin Chunhuan's face, "I have never seen anyone more beautiful than the princess!"
Lin Chunhuan didn't even open his eyes. He only lifted his eyelids after hearing Qiu Shuang's words, revealing a slit. He pinched Qiu Shuang's cheek accurately and said, "Don't worry, you won't see it again in the future."
“That’s it!”
Qiu Shuang not only did not refute Lin Chunhuan's narcissism, but instead looked proud of it, "There is no way in this world there is anyone more beautiful than the princess!"
"Where's Dong Ling'er?"
After chatting with Qiu Shuang for a few words, Lin Chunhuan looked around and indeed did not see the girl.
Qiu Shuang set the breakfast table and shook her head. "After the princess retired yesterday, Sister Dong took the seal to the accounting office. I haven't seen her since."
Qiu Shuang paused while setting the table mid-sentence. "Oh, Sister Dong, you're not going to be away all night. You're probably still in the accounting office!"
Lin Chunhuan was a little bit amused and helpless.
Because she knew very well that Qiu Shuang's guess was not impossible.
He didn't have time to eat at the moment, so he called Qiu Shuang and went to the accounting office. Before he even entered the door, he saw a group of people gathered outside the accounting office, making a lot of noise, and he didn't know what they were talking about.
"Go and have a look."
Qiu Shuang responded and walked forward alone. Although she was new, everyone in the palace knew that Qiu Shuang was the princess's personal servant.
The third-rank official in front of the prime minister's door and the other servants were naturally happy to give Qiu Shuang face. When they saw her coming forward, they consciously made way for her.
And in the accounting office.
Dong Ling'er was sitting behind the table, with the account books in front of her piled high, almost burying her whole body. Qiu Shuang tried to stand on tiptoe but could only see her forehead. She had no idea what she was doing.
"Sister, what are you doing in there? You are so attracted that you can't even take care of the work at hand." Qiu Shuang is a lively person.
Seeing that she couldn't understand, she simply pulled a maid beside her to ask.
"Sister Qiu, you're so kind!" The maid even bowed to Qiu Shuang's call of "sister." "That sister inside is truly amazing! I heard she cleared up all the long-standing issues in our palace over the past ten years in just one night!"
"This matter has alarmed the housekeeper. Look, he is in there reconciling the accounts with that sister."
After hearing what the maid said, Qiu Shuang actually caught a glimpse of a piece of the housekeeper's clothes behind the tall account book.
"Our princess is really amazing. Even the maids around her are capable!" The maid sighed sincerely. There was no way she could compare to her.
Some of these servants are literate or can count, but being able to count and being able to read and calculate accounts are two completely different things!
When the gap is too big, it is difficult for people to feel jealous, and there is only endless envy.
Anyone with an eye can see that as long as the final account is correct, the maid named Dong Ling'er inside may soar to the sky!
Qiu Shuang squeezed out of the crowd and repeated everything she had seen and heard, "Sister Dong is really amazing, no wonder the princess only wanted her in the first place!"
"Ten years of debt were settled in one night?"
Even though Qiu Shuang spoke with great certainty, Lin Chunhuan was still quite surprised.
Although she had never handled household affairs or managed a household, she had seen the nuns in the nunnery getting a headache from calculating accounts.
It would take an ordinary person one to three days to calculate the accounts for just one month, let alone ten years!
Seeing Qiu Shuang nod heavily, Lin Chunhuan couldn't suppress the smile on his lips, "Let's go and take a look!"
When Lin Chunhuan walked into the accounting office, the housekeeper thought that it was some ignorant servant who broke in. Just as he was about to drive the person out, he saw Lin Chunhuan signaling him to keep quiet and continue.
The butler immediately understood.
It took another half an incense stick of time, and all the accounts were clear, without any mistakes or omissions.
Dong Ling'er let out a long sigh, "Butler, please take another look. There is absolutely no problem."
"Don't look at it."
The housekeeper held the account book in his hand and nodded continuously as he looked at Dong Ling'er.
He was originally an accountant, and was promoted by the prince to become the steward of the palace. He worked in this position for many years, and all the accounts in the palace passed through his hands.
He could tell at a glance if there was anything wrong with the calculation. "Where did you learn this skill from, Miss Dong?"
"This... can be considered self-study." Dong Ling'er was stunned by the question and responded awkwardly after a long while.
Seeing this, Lin Chunhuan came out from his hiding place and asked with a smile, "Why, are you trying to snatch someone from me, housekeeper?"
"Meet the princess!"
Dong Ling'er was startled and quickly stood up from her chair, bowing like the butler.
Lin Chunhuan just took her hand and helped her up. She knew that Dong Ling'er learned this skill from her father, Lord Dong, the former Minister of Revenue, in addition to her own talent.
But now that Lord Dong has been labeled a criminal, it would be somewhat inappropriate for her to bring him up again, which is why she seemed hesitant.
The butler pondered and said, "Your Highness, I really want to ask for mercy for this girl today."
"Although it is indeed inappropriate for a woman to show her face in public, our palace has always been a place where the capable are given positions and we don't care about trivial matters. Miss Dong has such abilities, it would be a pity if she could only stay in the palace as a maid."
Lin Chunhuan pursed her lips and smiled, "What does the housekeeper mean?"
Even though the housekeeper hadn't said it yet, both Lin Chunhuan and Dong Ling'er knew very well that there was another world out there for Dong Ling'er to explore.
Lin Chunhuan was not surprised by this.
Dong Ling'er is a piece of gold. Her talent and ability cannot be hidden at all. One day she will shine, but this day will come much sooner than Lin Chunhuan expected.
The housekeeper pondered and said, "Your Highness has a restaurant in the suburbs of Beijing, but it's not doing well. I was thinking of discussing with Your Highness after the New Year whether to sell it."
"After meeting Miss Dong today, I thought about whether I could give the restaurant another chance, and also give Miss Dong another chance."
