Chapter 150 The Princess is Mighty
Sure enough, this method is very useful.
With Li Chengxiu's full cooperation, Jiang Wan quickly established her unshakable authority as the princess in the Prince Qi's mansion. The beautiful maids, who had originally had some small thoughts, were now all obedient.
Are you kidding? The prince was beaten openly by the princess. Who would dare to climb into the prince's bed? Wouldn't their legs be broken by then?
"The princess is majestic! I bow to her!"
Well, the speed at which the servants in Prince Qi's mansion recognized their master was amazing. The managers in various places knelt down and kowtowed without hesitation.
Jiang Wan was satisfied and took back the whip without wrapping it around his waist. He casually threw it to Hongxiu who was standing aside.
Then she turned around gracefully and virtuously, smiled warmly at the people below, showing the demeanor of the mistress of the house.
"Hongzhu, take Hongxiu with you to distribute the rewards to the people in the mansion. You two should also recognize everyone's faces so that you don't get confused later."
As a personal secretary and right-hand man, he should be used properly. And since he has already been intimidated, he still needs to pay for the gift.
My mother taught me that I must treat servants well as long as it does not affect my own family interests. This is the proper way to manage a household.
"yes."
Hongxiu took the order and walked towards the managers not far away with a smile.
"Aunt Jinping, why don't you come with us? We're both young and unsure of how to handle things, and we don't even know many people in the palace. Could you please have some compassion for us?"
"Miss Hongzhu, you are too kind. Let's go now."
Aunt Jinping was quite sensible and polite to the two maids around the princess. After all, she knew who the future mistress would be when she was still in the palace, so it was impossible for her to take advantage of her seniority and come out to seek her own death.
So the Princess of Qi took charge of the household affairs of the Prince of Qi's Mansion, and it could be said that everything was peaceful and there was not a single ripple.
After dinner, Jiang Wan diligently looked through the account books at his desk. Li Laosi handed over all his family property, not only the things he had obtained from the emperor, but also the small treasury he had accumulated over the years.
He had been coaxed into submission during the day and rushed to his wife to show his affection. But now, as it was getting dark, she still cared more about the account book than him, and this petty-minded guy started to make suggestions.
"Wife, the family business is not going away. Why are you always anxious to see it? Look at our precious time as newlyweds. We must not waste it. Why don't we..."
"Why don't you go to the farm and plow two acres of land? You have the strength of an ox, so it would be a shame if you didn't farm."
"ha?"
Li Laosi was spoken to for no reason and didn't react for a moment. After a long while, he asked in a low voice with a sense of grievance.
"...Wife, do you dislike me?"
Jiang Wan turned his head to look at the depressed man, then had no choice but to close the account book, stood up, walked to the bed and sat down.
"It's not that I dislike it, it's just that I haven't quite adapted to it yet. How about we just chat under the covers tonight? Will you let me get used to it first?"
"Didn't you say this morning that you didn't feel any pain?"
"You believe me when I tell you?"
Jiang Wan rolled her eyes at him.
"What kind of skills do you have? Don't you know? Take that secret manual and study it carefully. We can come back later, okay?"
Li Chengxiu was silent for several breaths, and finally could only nod.
"good."
He likes Wan Jie'er, so he has to listen to her. Isn't it just that I'm not good enough at technique? I just need to watch more and practice more!
He turned over with a heroic spirit and fished out all the fire-avoidance diagrams from the secret cabinet beside his bed. He got up with a studious spirit, put on his clothes, and went to the candlelight to read at night.
Jiang Wan didn't bother to pay attention to him. After washing up, she went straight to bed. She didn't sleep well last night, and she woke up early this morning. After a busy day, she was really feeling a little tired.
Close your eyes and fall asleep in seconds.
Time flies so fast for this young couple. They feel like they haven't even gotten to know each other well when it's time to go back to their parents' home after three days.
At the Prince of Qi's residence, the Empress had already prepared the return gifts. The young couple only needed to pack themselves up and get in the carriage to leave.
Early in the morning, the Duke Ling's Mansion became bustling.
Xu got up early and ordered the kitchen to prepare a banquet for the return of the bride's parents. She also sent for her mother's sister-in-law and nephew to come over. Anyway, there were only a few people from the two families in the capital, so they could barely get together a table.
After finishing my busy chatter, I looked up and saw that the sun had already climbed over the treetops, and I started to worry again.
"It's already late, why hasn't Wanjie returned yet? Could something have gotten her stuck on the way? Otherwise, my husband, why don't you send someone to check on her?"
He asked three questions in a row, which made the old lady sitting at the top of the table curl her lips.
"Daughter-in-law, look at how late it is now. It seems to me that it's still very early. Is it possible that you woke us up too early? Look at the third and fourth brothers, how sleepy they are..."
As she spoke, she yawned.
Even though people tend to sleep less as they age, they shouldn't be up and making a fuss before dawn. This heartless woman is so partial to the child in the front! She doesn't care whether these children, young or old, are sleepy or not.
"Mom, I'm sorry. It's all because of my inconsiderate daughter-in-law. I was just worried about the eldest girl who had been away from home for a few days, and I wanted to check on her and see if she was okay. I didn't think too much about it at the moment. I'm really sorry..."
When Jiang Huailiang saw that his wife looked a little embarrassed, he quickly spoke up to smooth things over.
"Mom, isn't the eldest daughter coming back today? It's a good thing that we get up early to get things done. Why are you worried about the third and fourth daughters? It's because they are useless. Look at the second daughter, why is she..."
Jiang Huailiang turned his eyes to his second daughter and stopped talking in embarrassment.
The old lady snorted coldly.
"She just sleeps so soundly, doesn't she?"
The old man who was drinking tea coughed.
"Look at you, old woman, how come you can always pick a fight with everyone? Have you forgotten how good the eldest girl is at picking fights?
She is coming back to visit her parents today. Let's welcome the little ancestor back with great fanfare and then send her back safely. Isn't that all?
Why do you nag me so much?"
"Oh, look at you being such a good person. It seems like you're the grandfather who cares about his granddaughter, and I'm the vicious and unreasonable grandmother, right?"
You can’t argue too much with your daughter-in-law and son, but you can’t even give in to your old man, otherwise you’ll suffer a lot, right?
"I just said a few words casually, look at you."
"What's wrong with me? What can you say that I can't say?"
"Yes, yes, yes, I'll keep you energetic every day. It's just that the eldest girl is not at home now..."
"What can she do? I'm her grandmother, what can't I say? I can say whatever I want!"
"Come on, come on, go ahead."
The old couple bickered as usual, and time slipped away as they bickered. Around noon, the Xu family's mother and son arrived, and finally a servant ran in to report.
"Master, our eldest daughter is back!"
