Yuexiu went to find Yeshan and explained her purpose. Yeshan suppressed a smile and made the arrangements. Her words were indeed effective.
Back in the study, Sheng Jingyu asked, "What did you talk about this time? You seem so happy?"
Ye Shan wasn't happy at all; she couldn't help but want to laugh.
When Sheng Jingyu asked, she didn't hide anything and answered truthfully.
Sheng Jingyu's vision blurred, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "Go and give the order again. If anyone dares to gossip, they'll lose their tongue!"
"yes."
The mansion suddenly became unusually quiet, so quiet that it was somewhat eerie.
During dinner that evening, Su Wenyuan looked at Sheng Jingyu and couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
"How could such a perfectly healthy man go blind?" Su Wenyuan blurted out her true feelings.
Sheng Jingyu paused, chopsticks in hand, and asked coldly, "What did you say?"
His eyes were covered with a white veil, and his face was gloomy and terrifying.
To his face, you tell him he's blind, and then you go all out?
Meng Qi replied, "The princess said you are blind."
"..." Su Wenyuan suddenly turned her head and snatched the chicken leg from his hand.
What are you eating? You're eating so much your brain isn't working properly! Do you think she's dying too slowly?
Sheng Jingyu was so angry he was speechless. He was pretending to be blind, not deaf. Why did he repeat himself?
He was asking Su Wenyuan.
"Your Highness, that's not what I meant..." Su Wenyuan explained with a bitter face.
It seems she inadvertently touched on the very thing that Sheng Jingyu cared about most.
Sheng Jingyu said indifferently, "If the princess doesn't want her tongue anymore, she can have it cut off."
"No way! A mute princess paired with a blind prince, that sounds awful!" Su Wenyuan blurted out.
Then he covered his mouth, thinking to himself that he was really being a smart aleck.
He got too carried away and said whatever came to mind.
Sheng Jingyu said calmly, "This sounds like a much better match."
“Not a good match, not a good match, Your Highness, please eat.” Su Wenyuan picked up a piece of meat and held it to Sheng Jingyu’s lips. “Ah…”
Sheng Jingyu was speechless. Was this some kind of attempt to coax a child?
"No..." Sheng Jingyu had just opened his mouth when the chopsticks were already inside.
This left him in a dilemma, unsure whether to eat or vomit. He had initially intended to say that it wasn't necessary.
"Your Highness, try this!" Su Wenyuan stood up and eagerly fed him, until Sheng Jingyu was unable to speak.
"Alright." Sheng Jingyu finally had a chance to call a halt, and at the same time, accurately stopped Su Wenyuan's hand.
Su Wenyuan chuckled and said, "Your Highness enjoyed the meal. Please make these again tomorrow. See you later!"
She ran away...
Fearing that Sheng Jingyu would bring up past grievances, Yuexiu ran off quickly, and followed with a bit of anxiety.
The princess is too bold and speaks without restraint.
Before Sheng Jingyu could swallow what was in her mouth, she looked left and right. Meng Qi and Ye Shan were both surprised. "You can do that?"
"It seems the princess hasn't eaten yet," Meng Qi said.
Sheng Jingyu glared at him: "All you know is how to eat!"
Su Wenyuan returned to her room, constantly trying to calm her racing heart; what had just happened was terrifying.
The oppressive feeling that Sheng Jingyu brought her was like having his neck grabbed and choking her breath. The murderous intent emanating from his body made her afraid to think about it.
"That was terrifying!" Su Wenyuan was still shaken, suddenly realizing that Sheng Jingyu's infamous reputation was not an exaggeration.
"Your Highness, you scared me to death!" Yuexiu was also covered in cold sweat.
That night, in an effort to atone for her sins, Su Wenyuan was incredibly attentive, taking care of him in every little detail, pouring him tea, massaging his shoulders, and even wishing she could change his clothes herself.
This made Sheng Jingyu quite flustered; there was really no need to be so enthusiastic.
"Ye Shan asked the kitchen to cook a bowl of noodles," Sheng Jingyu said, making an excuse to send her away.
Su Wenyuan's eyes lit up and she smiled, "Then I'll let Meng Qi in."
"Hmm." Sheng Jingyu breathed a sigh of relief; he was truly afraid of her.
Su Wenyuan ate two bowls in one go, and the fact that Sheng Jingyu could speak properly meant that the matter was over.
The next day, Ye Shan stayed by Su Wenyuan's side, while Meng Qi was temporarily sent away by Su Wenyuan because he had said something wrong the day before.
At the same time, they were also waiting for Granny Gao to come and ask for money.
Previously, Ye Shan was in charge of the household affairs, but now there needs to be a handover process.
I waited all morning, but I didn't see Granny Gao at all.
Yuexiu asked, "Does Granny Gao know that her kitchen can't cook many dishes, so she's not coming to collect the money?"
“If she doesn’t take this money, what will she spend? What will the people in the kitchen eat?” Su Wenyuan sneered.
If she were that sensible, Su Wenyuan wouldn't have made things difficult for her.
When the small kitchen started cooking in the evening, Granny Gao arrived and first called Ye Shan out.
Su Wenyuan quickly instructed Yuexiu to call out one of the people from the small kitchen, someone skilled in their field.
"Alright!" Yuexiu called out as she ran, "Aunt Hu, come quick!" before even turning into the small kitchen.
Su Wenyuan suppressed a laugh. This Mrs. Hu was efficient and had a fiery temper.
At first, the maid in the courtyard didn't do any work and had a lot of bad habits, so she scolded her until she cried.
She was also clever; she knew what Su Wenyuan was going to do and cooperated fully.
Outside the courtyard, Granny Gao was discussing with Ye Shan about getting kitchen expenses.
Ye Shan politely declined, saying, "Now that the Princess is in charge of the household, this money must be asked of the Princess."
Granny Gao said anxiously, "Given the relationship between our kitchen and the Princess, how can we ask for it? Perhaps we could trouble Miss Ye Shan to ask us for it on our behalf."
Ye Shan smiled again and said, "If any steward wants to collect his silver, he has to ask the Princess for it in person. There's no way to have someone else collect it for him!"
"This... sigh..." Granny Gao was so anxious that she didn't know what to say.
Ye Shan turned and went back into the courtyard, and Granny Gao followed her in.
When she went in, she saw Su Wenyuan giving Hu Mama a bag of silver.
"Hey! What kind of silver is this?" Granny Gao rushed forward to snatch it.
Mother Hu protected the silver and then pushed her, causing Granny Gao's thin body to fall to the ground, making her dizzy and disoriented.
She lay on the ground for a long time without getting up, while Madam Hu was already standing next to Su Wenyuan with the silver.
Su Wenyuan wrote it down in the ledger and then had Hu's mother sign her name.
After all that was done, Granny Gao was still on the ground, groaning.
Su Wenyuan glanced at her indifferently and continued looking at the account book.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, Granny Gao dusted herself off and stood up.
"What does Your Highness mean by this? Aren't you going to give us any money? What will so many people eat and drink?" Granny Gao asked, demanding money with a self-righteous air.
She had long expected Su Wenyuan to refuse to give her the money, but she was in the right, so what was there to be afraid of?
How can I buy vegetables and rice if I don't have money to cook for the household?
Yuexiu said irritably, "You're framing the Princess, but the Princess has already prepared the money!"
Upon hearing this, Granny Gao immediately beamed with joy and apologized, saying, "Your Highness, please don't be offended. This is just a misunderstanding."
Su Wenyuan didn't even look at her. She took a small bag of silver from the table, placed it in her hand, and said, "Let's go."
When Granny Gao saw this small amount, which was less than the monthly allowance she received yesterday, her joy turned to anger.
What do you mean by that?
