Chapter 904: The Prince of the Duke's Mansion vs. the Black Lotus Daughter 46
Ji Yunhuan put down his chopsticks and looked at Yun Ye uneasily, "Are the rules of the Duke's Mansion very strict? Why didn't you tell me earlier, my Lord? I will learn from you in the future."
Ji Yunhuan was about to stand up, but Yun Ye held him down and frowned, "Why are there so many rules? Don't be afraid. Were you scared by the maidservant next to your mother yesterday? Why didn't you tell me?"
"Mother, you punished her well. You don't know how cowardly Huan'er is. Even the maid who swept the floor in the Ji family dared to bully her. There are no such tricky servants in the Duke's Mansion! Fortunately, mother protected her, otherwise she might have been bullied and cried."
Yun Ting wiped his mouth and finished his meal. "I feel relieved that Madam is here. I have to go to the Ministry of War today and will be back later. If the maid is not doing well, Madam can just discipline her. It's not a big deal."
"Yun Ye, your wife has just come into the family, so I'll let you enjoy yourself for a few more days. You'll have to go to the military camp sooner or later. Your brother has already gone to the academy early in the morning. You should also be diligent and motivated, start a family first and then a career. Stop fooling around!"
Yun Ye curled his lips and said dissatisfiedly: "Where did I fool around? I also do serious work in the patrol room, investigating bandits and solving cases like a god! I said I don't owe the gambling house any money, and I don't need that little money..."
Yun Ye got angry when he saw his son bragging. "I'm thankful that you don't cause trouble. Don't flatter yourself. You don't lack money because your mother supports you and I support you, and you also have the dowry left by your biological mother. You spend your money on wine and women every day. If you continue like this, no matter how big the family business is, you will squander it all!"
Seeing that the father and son were about to quarrel over a disagreement, Mrs. Dong sat on the wall and watched, hoping that the quarrel would get even more intense.
Ji Yunhuan pulled Yun Ye's sleeve and said softly, "The prince gave me all the dowry, all in good order. Aunt Nie had never given these things to the prince before. The prince has a noble status and a lot of expenses, but he never touched Madam Nie's dowry."
"The prince has changed for the better and will not do those ridiculous things again. Since I am married to the prince, I will definitely persuade him well."
Yun Ting snorted coldly, but did not continue to scold his son. "I hope he has really changed. This kid will not be happy until he is angry with me. You are a sensible person."
"Madam, please don't be too harsh. Our family doesn't expect our daughter-in-law to do anything. She can wake Yun Ye up, which is her greatest contribution. Okay, you don't have to send me off. You can continue eating."
Mrs. Dong was very angry when she saw everyone speaking for Ji Yunhuan!
Except for the first two years after she entered the house, the Duke didn't trust her very much. Later, she had the final say in the mansion. This little concubine's daughter pretended to be weak and cunning as soon as she entered the house, and coaxed the two men to stand up for her. What a calculating person!
Men are most easily fooled by women who pretend to be weak, but she knows it all. This Ji Yunhuan is definitely not as simple as she seems!
She is the one who makes the decisions in the entire mansion, and she doesn't believe that she can't control a daughter-in-law. She arranged this marriage for Yun Ye not because she thinks that the couple love each other and they can please the Duke together.
"Come here, bring another plate of Ruyi Cake. Since the Crown Princess likes it, make it for her often in the future."
"There really aren't that many rules at home, and there's no such thing as eating less than three meals a day. But if I go to visit a noble's house or go to the palace to see the emperor, there will be more rules."
"You are new here, young, and inexperienced. I'm afraid you can't control the people below you. Aunt Qiu has been with me for many years, and everyone in the mansion knows her. Let her serve you."
Aunt Qiu had her hair combed into a single bun and two gold hairpins in her hair. She was serious and stern, and looked more dignified than an ordinary old lady from an official family.
Ji Yunhuan shrank back when he saw people and hid beside Yun Ye in fear.
Yun Ye felt very distressed. His mind was full of how Ji Yunhuan was bullied by those maids in the Ji family. There were maids like Wan and Kang. None of them were good people. They had endless ways to torture people.
Yun Ye patted Ji Yunhuan on the back and comforted him, "Okay, don't be afraid. This is not the Ji family. The servants dare not bully you."
"If you don't like it, forget it. Everyone in Yuhuayuan will listen to you. You are the Crown Prince's Consort, so you can do whatever you want. If you are not satisfied with anything, just tell me. I am not afraid that I can't suppress it."
"There are people in Yuhua Courtyard who know the rules. Once you are familiar with them, you can ask them to teach you. Anyway, it is not a festival now, and it is not the time to enter the palace. As for other banquets, they are not a big deal."
Ji Yunhuan nodded repeatedly, very grateful, "I will listen to you, Master. With you here, I am not afraid of anything."
Mrs. Dong was neither satisfied nor satisfied with the meal. She almost died of anger!
This Ji Yunhuan is such a seductive thing, she has made Yun Ye completely devoted to her. Since she was unable to arrange any spies around Ji Yunhuan, Mrs. Dong came up with another plan!
Breakfast had been taken away. Mrs. Dong drank her tea and said with a smile, "Ye'er, it's time for you to go to the patrol camp. You've been unconscious for two months and finally woke up. It's time for you to go on duty."
Yun Ye said carelessly, "I haven't been there for two months anyway, so a few days won't make a difference. Everyone knows that I'm getting married, so I naturally need a wedding leave. Just send someone to tell them. I'm worried about leaving Huan'er alone."
Mrs. Dong laughed and scolded, "You monkey, do you think I can bully your wife? You are a grown man, but you don't do your job. Do you think you can stay at home and watch over her every day?"
Yun Ye chuckled, "Mother will naturally not bully her, but she is timid and clings to me like this. It will be fine once she gets familiar with me."
"Am I the kind of person who can sit idle? We'll go to Yumei Garden later. Mother, you come from a wealthy family, so you don't know how pitiful the concubines of small families are. They stay locked up in their rooms all day long and are not allowed to go out. Huan'er likes to go out and play, so I want to take her with me!"
Aunt Qiu, who was standing by, saw Madam Dong's look and immediately said, "I've never heard of a new bride not serving her parents-in-law but following her husband around. Women should regard being demure as a virtue, and the Crown Prince's Consort should learn from her."
Yun Ye was unhappy when he heard this. "You stay at home all day long. You will get sick even if you are not sick. Doesn't mother often go out to make friends and go outings? Father didn't stop you. What's wrong with me taking Huan'er out?"
Mrs. Dong immediately scolded Nanny Qiu and asked her to leave. She knew that Yun Ye was a person who would not listen to advice, so she never tried to persuade him. She always let the servants speak for her or let the master teach Yun Ye a lesson. She was Yun Ye's mother who loved him the most.
"Okay, okay, Ye'er can do whatever she likes. Don't bother with this old thing. She likes to gossip just because she came from the palace. Mother will definitely punish her!"
"Look at you, you're so impatient that you can't even sit still. It's so hard to ask you to spend some time with your mother. Who knows if you will come to pay your respects to me tomorrow. So I might as well tell you all about it today."
"Mother is of course doing this for your own good. I heard that you bought a girl from outside. If you really like her, you can bring her back and make her your concubine. What's the point of keeping her outside all the time? You won't cause criticism! I'll go and persuade your father. Just tell him it was my idea and I won't let him beat you."
