"Hmph, your daughter hasn't even married into the Prince's Mansion yet, and you're already trying to ride on its coattails? This Prince's Mansion is none of your business!" Zheng Qiaoshu dared to be so arrogant today because she had just watched that old hag eat the pastry she had drugged.
Now that the old woman is dying, I am the only master left in the mansion.
She didn't care about a small business at all.
“My daughter hasn’t married into the Prince’s Mansion yet, but the old Princess Consort is still in charge of the household. It’s not your place to make decisions as an outsider. Today, I’m going to ask the old Princess Consort if it’s still up to a young girl like you to criticize me!” Li Tianyou was furious and was about to go and argue with the old Princess Consort.
"Lord Li, please calm down," Liu Ming quickly reassured him.
She wasn't sure whether the old princess would side with Lord Li or her cousin.
"Steward Liu, take me to see the old princess." Li Tianyou said with a dark face, not even glancing at Zheng Qiaoshu, a mere young girl.
They're just guests staying at the Prince's mansion; do they really think they're something special?
It is true that he came from a merchant family.
But he was upright and honest, and believed that he had done nothing to wrong the Prince An's mansion.
Seeing the furious Li Tianyou, Liu Ming had no choice but to take him to Ci'an Hall, cursing inwardly that Zheng Qiaoshu was a troublemaker.
Zheng Qiaoshu wasn't afraid at all. By now, the old woman should be beyond saving, right?
Zheng Qiaoshu walked to the accounting office and said to the accountant, "Uncle Wang, my aunt asked me to go to the storeroom to get some ginseng to nourish her body. Could you please open the storeroom door for me?"
Wang Yuan adjusted his glasses, sized up Zheng Qiaoshu, and then said unhurriedly, "Where's the warrant?"
"What warrant?" Zheng Qiaoshu asked, puzzled.
“Miss, if the old princess wants this old servant to open the storeroom so you can retrieve something, where is the warrant?” Wang Yuan looked at the clueless Zheng Qiaoshu and sneered inwardly.
This young lady seems to have ulterior motives; otherwise, how could she not even know this?
“My aunt didn’t say anything, Uncle Wang, please open an account for me first. My aunt is still waiting for that person to give her ginseng to nourish her body. How could I possibly lie about this?” Zheng Qiaoshu said with dissatisfaction.
She was very annoyed. Little did she know that opening a warehouse required a warrant.
She had never heard the old woman say that.
"I'm sorry, Miss, the Prince's Mansion has its own rules." After saying that, the accountant ignored Zheng Qiaoshu.
Zheng Qiaoshu was so anxious that she stamped her feet, but seeing that Wang Yuan was unyielding, she had no choice but to return to Cixi Hall first.
"Miss, there should be a warrant from Granny Luo for this matter," Chu'er whispered from the side.
"Go to Cixi Hall!" Zheng Qiaoshu said with a dark face. She had originally thought that as long as that old woman was sick, she would be in charge of the Prince's Mansion.
Now, we can't even get into the warehouse!
At this moment, Liu Ming was leading Li Tianyou to Ci'an Hall.
When Luo Mama saw Li Tianyou arrive, she first smiled and bowed to him before saying that the old princess had just gone to bed.
“It’s just that I, Li, came at the wrong time.” Li Tianyou frowned, feeling somewhat uneasy.
He even wondered to himself if the old princess was deliberately being coy with him, otherwise, why would she have fallen asleep so soon after he arrived?
"Granny Luo, how long has the old princess been asleep?" Liu Ming asked cautiously, thinking that if she had been asleep for a long time, she should get up by now.
"I just ate the pastries that Miss Biao brought, and said I was a little tired, so I rested."
"Old Princess!"
As soon as Granny Luo finished speaking, a terrified scream came from inside the room!
