Chapter 104 Give her status and rights, but she doesn’t have to serve him?
Leave it to her?
Su Rui turned around in surprise, only to see Yun Ji taking out a box from somewhere and handing it to her.
The box was open, and inside were three pairs of cards and four bunches of twenty or so keys.
It goes without saying that this should belong to the steward of Prince Yong's mansion.
Even the pairs of cards were strung together with different keys. Su Rui knew from the style that the smallest one belonged to the warehouse.
Does this mean she will be in charge of the finances of Prince Yong's Mansion?
"This should be managed by the queen." She is not the queen, so the housekeeper's words are not right.
"There is no queen now, and you are the only one in the inner court. I don't know much about these things, and someone has to take care of them." Yun Ji explained calmly, as if it was just official business.
Su Rui also understood that she would be the housekeeper temporarily.
"So the prince asked for me to be your concubine so that I could be your housekeeper. I thought the prince loved me, cared about me, and couldn't bear to see me suffer. Tsk tsk, it seems I was just being sentimental." Su Rui pretended to be hurt and pitiful.
Yun Ji knew that she was just putting on an act.
If he wants a housekeeper, it would be better if he could ask a few housekeepers from the palace.
The reason for seeking the purpose is...
"Indeed, since we're alone here, I'll explain." Yun Ji turned around, his expression serious. "That day on Moon-Watching Peak, I was forced to do so. Although I'm no longer a monk, my devotion to Buddhism remains unchanged."
Su Rui was not surprised by Yun Ji's words.
He was very abnormal that night.
But what forced him to be so confused and ultimately choose to give up his beliefs and compromise?
Su Rui didn't ask.
She knew he wouldn't say it, otherwise he would have said it as soon as he opened his mouth.
"So, you married me to be your housekeeper and to be your shield?"
Yun Ji didn't deny it, but lowered his eyes with guilt and said, "Although I was forced to do so, but... I hurt you, and I really shouldn't have let you down. However, after we get married, I can only give you the status of a concubine. I can't give you anything else, but I won't ask you to endure the pain forever. After two years, I will let you go and grant you freedom."
Give her status and rights, but she doesn't have to serve him?
This is pie in the sky!
Su Rui was so excited that she reached out and took the wooden box and held it tightly in her hands. Fearing that Yun Ji would regret it, she promised to be loyal again and again: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I understand. In the future, I will definitely be your good wife and shield, and will never tease you again."
Yun Ji thought she would be angry, unhappy, and even scold him, but he didn't expect her to be so happy.
She had clearly said before that she was...
"Master." Zhuiyue came up from the dark and whispered something in Yunji's ear.
Yun Ji's eyes changed slightly, and he looked at Su Rui and said, "If you are not in a hurry to go back home, then go for a walk around."
After saying that, Yun Ji left quickly.
Su Rui was in high spirits. Luo E had made arrangements for Chaoyang Courtyard, so she was in no hurry to go back. She just strolled around the palace.
The palace is twice as large as the Yong'an Marquis's Palace, but there are not many houses. Apart from a few rooms in the front yard and five courtyards in the back yard, the rest are garden landscapes. However, they have been covered by time and no longer have the splendor of the past.
Su Rui was most satisfied with the West Garden. There were large tracts of black soil, which were probably transported from thousands of miles away specifically for growing flowers. The weeds there were much stronger than those in other places.
I don't know where the watermelon seeds fell from, but three watermelons grew. Two of them had been dug up by animals, and the remaining one was intact, just enough to quench Su Rui's thirst after she was tired from walking around.
After eating and drinking his fill, Su Rui returned to the Yong'an Marquis Mansion at dusk.
The people sent by Queen Lin have arrived. Luo E was arranged in the front yard to be responsible for the preparations and discuss the details with the officials of the Ministry of Rites.
Su Rui completely threw away the hard work and concentrated on being Yun Ji's good wife.
After all, the palace will be where she will live in the future, so it must be designed to be comfortable.
She drew a sketch of Prince Yong and chose her own courtyard, which was a side courtyard. After all, she was a concubine and had to put herself in the right position.
The side courtyard is separated from the West Garden with black soil by a river. Su Rui has already planned to move all the vegetables grown in his yard there and plant more, so he won't need to buy vegetables from outside the mansion.
But it is not enough to just talk about it on paper, so Su Rui went to Prince Yong's mansion almost every day.
That day, she went out early again and made an appointment with the craftsmen to demolish and rebuild the broken and dangerous walls.
As soon as I went out, I saw Su Ye standing at the door, reeking of alcohol, obviously having just returned from a drinking spree.
"Are you going to Prince Yong's Mansion again?" Su Ye asked unhappily.
Su Ye ignored him and climbed the wooden stairs to get into the carriage.
"Su Rui! I'm talking to you!" Su Ye roared and walked forward, reaching out to grab Su Rui's right hand.
Xier took a few steps back and was unable to stop it.
Su Rui's right hand had not yet fully recovered, and when he suddenly pulled it, it was so painful that she couldn't help but gasp.
Seeing that she was in so much pain after being pulled, Su Ye became even more unhappy and said, "Why are you pretending like this? I just pulled you, not with much force."
"Let go!" Su Rui was in so much pain that she didn't want to talk to him anymore and yelled at him to let go.
Su Ye was already unhappy, and being scolded by her made him even more angry. He deliberately squeezed his hand tightly and said, "I won't let go, what's wrong with you!"
Su Rui's eyes darkened. He raised his foot, pulled out a dagger from his boot, and slashed directly at Su Ye's hand.
The cold light was so strong that even though Su Ye was drunk, he instinctively let go and retreated. The smell of alcohol mixed with anger, and he cursed: "You lowly slave, you are so heartless and ungrateful. I just called you and you drew your sword and hurt me. I am your brother!"
Watching him roar, Su Rui took a few deep breaths to suppress the pain, and said coldly: "I'll say it again, we have no relationship, and we are not brother and sister. If you dare to pull me again, I will break your arm."
From her words, Su Ye could tell that she was telling the truth.
If he dared to take action, she would draw her sword.
But he just wanted to say a few words to her, but he was a little anxious and pulled...
Thinking of this, looking at Su Rui's wrist that was rapidly getting red and swollen, and her frown that she was trying to endure, he suddenly remembered.
The last time she was captured by bandits, she was seriously injured and her hand seemed to be broken.
Is this the one?
He didn't mean to do it, he was just anxious.
"Why don't you tell me that your hand was injured before? Then I won't pull this one."
Su Ye habitually shifted the blame onto others, raising her voice with a guilty conscience: "Besides, I only came here to persuade you. You go to Prince Yong's mansion every day. Do you know what people say about you? You are so eager to get married that you rush to get married. You don't even have the modesty of a woman at all."
"Whether I hate getting married or not is my business. You don't need to interfere. Besides, I naturally want to rush to marry a royal noble like Prince Yong. Don't forget that your marriage is still stable because of my rushing to marry."
Su Ye's sore spot was hit, and his face instantly turned blue and red, but he had nothing to refute.
Even if Su Rui didn't recognize them, her marriage still brought blessings to the people in the Marquis' Mansion.
Originally, after the autumn hunt and the surname-changing banquet, Miss Wang wanted to break off the engagement with him, but after Su Rui was granted the marriage, the matter was no longer mentioned.
