As soon as Zhang Tianlin entered the study, Prime Minister Shen's face turned serious.
Zhang Tianlin respectfully bowed to Prime Minister Shen Cheng before quickly speaking.
"Greetings, sir. May I ask why you summoned this old servant here?"
Zhang Tianlin's expression was very respectful, and his tone of voice was extremely humble.
However, Prime Minister Shen's face was still full of dissatisfaction.
As the steward of the Prime Minister's residence, Zhang Tianlin had been unable to find anyone for the past few days. The Prime Minister was already in a state of agitation, and every time he tried to find the steward, the steward was not there, which naturally made the Prime Minister furious.
Upon hearing Zhang Tianlin's question, Prime Minister Shen didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.
"What's been going on with you these past few days? Why can't I find you? Is the household in such a state of chaos?"
Zhang Tianlin inwardly groaned. He had indeed been extremely busy these past two days, dealing with matters at the Prime Minister's residence and also having to use his spare time to report to the Second Prince.
Unfortunately, the Prime Minister hasn't gone out these past two days, so he's been looking for me more often.
Zhang Tianlin was not unaware that the Prime Minister was taking care of him, but at that time he was outside, and even if he had wings, he would not be able to fly to the Prime Minister immediately.
After returning, some of his subordinates told him that the adults had spoken to him.
Zhang Tianlin was mentally prepared for this.
However, when facing Prime Minister Shen, Zhang Tianlin still showed an expression of fear and trepidation.
Seeing that the Prime Minister was staring at him without moving, Zhang Tianlin spoke the lie he had prepared.
"Master, the profits from the shops haven't been collected yet, so I've been going out more often."
After he finished speaking, Zhang Tianlin added some more details.
“Recently, everyone has been saying that things are quite chaotic outside, and the harvest is fluctuating greatly. So, these days, I have been personally collecting the profits from the shops.”
Prime Minister Shen nodded, his expression softening considerably.
No wonder I could never find Zhang Tianlin when I looked for him; it turns out Zhang Tianlin was personally collecting the profits.
Therefore, I should not only not blame Zhang Tianlin, but should also affirm everything Zhang Tianlin has done.
Prime Minister Shen reached out and stroked his beard, nodding slightly.
"Oh, I see. Then I'll have to trouble you for the next few days."
After finishing his meal, Zhang Tianlin waved his hands repeatedly.
"Master, please don't say that. Old Luo has never felt tired. This is all my duty."
Just then, Prime Minister Shen spoke.
"By the way, it's Madam's birthday in a few days. You should prepare well."
"Please rest assured, my lord, this old servant has made all the necessary preparations."
After hearing Zhang Tianlin say this, Prime Minister Shen was finally relieved.
These past two days, Prime Minister Shen has been feeling uneasy, not only because of the Empress's matter, but also because he has a vague feeling that something else is about to happen.
Now that Zhang Tianlin had given a clear and detailed report, the Prime Minister breathed a long sigh of relief.
While Zhang Tianlin was filled with anxiety, the Second Prince Feng Moran had already taken the confession to the inner palace.
Compared to a period of time ago, Feng Guche's physical condition has improved significantly.
However, Feng Guche did not personally attend court, so Feng Mozhan still needed to report matters of the previous court to Feng Guche from time to time.
