Chapter 134: Handing over the entire Duke's Mansion to Xia Zheng
Xia Zheng looked over and saw Gu Yizi walking towards her in a red official uniform. He looked handsome and graceful, and walked as fast as a pine or crane. In his hand was a roll of something wrapped up, and a little yellow could be vaguely seen in the exposed corner.
"Prince." Xia Zheng bowed when she saw him walk in.
"Just came back from the Internal Affairs Office?" Gu Yizi stopped and asked.
Xia Zheng nodded, "Prince, are you not on duty today?"
"I came back to get something." Gu Yizhi unconsciously clenched the things in his hand, looked at Xia Zheng's slightly thinner face and asked, "Have you eaten well these days?"
Although Gu Yizi seemed to be very busy during this period, returning home very late and staying at Shuseki Residence, she knew it from the moment he asked her if she had returned from the Internal Affairs Office when they saw her. She could not hide anything from him.
Therefore, Xia Zheng could only nod honestly and said, "I forget when I'm busy. If I'm in a hurry, I'll just make do with two bites."
Gu Yizi glanced at her and took a step forward. His tall shadow just covered Xia Zheng completely. He said in a low voice, "If you're tired, I can help you refuse this job."
Xia Zheng never thought that Gu Yizi would say this. She raised her head. Although his eyes did not change and she could not see anything, after being together for so long, she could still tell from his subtle movements that what he said was true.
As long as she said she was tired and didn't want to do it, he would help her take off the shackles.
Even if the shackles come from your own mother.
Even though he shouldn't have to go to such lengths for her.
"I'm not tired." Xia Zheng smiled and shook her head. "Since you and the Crown Prince's Consort value me, I will definitely do this well. I won't let you and the Crown Prince's Consort down, nor will I bring shame to the Crown Prince."
A ray of sunlight crept over Gu Yizi's shoulder and fell right into Xia Zheng's eyes.
The light made the smiling eyes sparkle, and there was a strong energy in the sparkle.
Like a vine, even if it is soft and weak, it will seize any opportunity to climb up and chase the sunshine it wants without giving up.
"You're really good at flattering yourself." Gu Yizi said with a smile, "Go back and have a good meal. Don't fall down before you finish your work."
After saying that, Gu Yizi turned around and was about to leave, but Xia Zheng hurriedly grabbed his hand.
Gu Yizi turned around, and Xia Zheng looked at him with a sly smile and begged, "It's not bad for me to be close to Prince Jin, which proves that he didn't make a mistake in choosing me. So, can you promise me one thing? It's just a small thing."
"You really are just plucking feathers from a passing goose." I thought she was really tough, but she's waiting here. "How small is it? Tell me."
"If one day I send someone to look for the prince, he must come back home immediately, okay?" Xia Zheng looked at him with wet eyes, like a pitiful and pleading deer.
"Not on the seventeenth."
Seventeen?
Although Xia Zheng didn't understand why Seventeen couldn't go, she figured it would only take three or four days, so it wouldn't take long for Seventeen to go. So she happily bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."
"Can you let go now?"
Xia Zheng then realized that she was still holding Gu Yizi. Although there were not many people here, there was no obstruction everywhere. There were people in the distance. She couldn't hear what they were saying, but she could see them.
I'm afraid that soon she will be reported for stopping Gu Yizi from acting coquettishly and flirting with him in broad daylight.
She quickly released his hand and said, "I respectfully send you off, Your Highness."
Gu Yizi then turned around and left, with the corners of his mouth rising and falling slightly, and his steps becoming lighter than before.
Others couldn't notice it, but Changfeng, who had followed Gu Yizi since childhood and was proficient in martial arts, felt it immediately. The prince seemed to be in a better mood, although he was obviously very depressed before.
Every time the prince sees Xia Surong, he seems to be in a better mood.
Turning around to look at Xia Zheng who was already walking to the other side, Changfeng didn't quite understand why the prince was happy even though she didn't do anything, nor did he understand why Shuangjiang was still ignoring him.
In the end, he could only follow Gu Yizi out to the palace in frustration.
……
Five days later, the Xiang bamboo cabinet that Zhou Lin returned was still in the warehouse. Zhao Liu, who was in charge of delivering things, was sitting on the steps of the warehouse door with a piece of grass in his mouth, looking very angry.
At this moment, everyone stayed away from him and dared not provoke him.
Everyone felt that if anyone dared to say anything, Zhao Liu would chop them with a knife.
After all, even the best-tempered person can't stand that kind of torture.
In the past two days, Zhao Liu led people to find various reasons to take out Xiang bamboo cabinets from each room, check them one by one and find out the ones that relatively meet Zhou Lin's requirements and send them over.
The first one was confiscated, and he said it was not his, but he accepted it.
The second one was accepted, but within a day, someone was sent to take it back, saying that Zhou Lin was taking a nap at that time, and the maid accepted it without knowing it. When she woke up and saw that it was not hers, she scolded the maid and Zhao Liu together.
Later, Zhao Liu found another batch and sent them one by one. He was scolded every day and finally accepted them. Two days later, he said something was not right with them and returned them this morning.
"Sixth brother, this is the last one. If there is no more, there will be no more." Two people carried Xiang Zhugui out from the other side and said with a bitter face.
Zhao Liu glanced at Xia Zheng, who was sitting in the accounting office, checking the records and lists in her hands as if she couldn't see anything. He threw the grass in his mouth to the ground, stood up and cursed loudly: "If you say this again, I'm going to quit. Whoever wants to do this crap job can do it themselves!"
After saying that, Zhao Liu led his men past the accounting office.
Xia Zheng didn't even open her eyelids. The people around her were looking at her, looking at each other, with the same idea in their eyes.
I'm so unlucky to have such an incompetent manager. He didn't say a word even when I bullied him like that, and he kept a serious expression. Even if I become the Crown Prince's Consort, I'll be a coward and will never amount to anything.
But no matter how much I complain in my heart, I still have to do the job. After all, I don’t have the capital to make mistakes.
Just when everything had calmed down, Nanny Niu arrived with her people.
"Meet Xia Surong."
"What brings Nanny Niu here? What does the Crown Princess want?" Xia Zheng asked, putting down the record book in her hand.
"Su Rong really guessed it right." Niu Ma Ma smiled bitterly and sighed, "The Crown Prince's Consort is ill. It's hard for her to get up today."
Xia Zheng stood up in surprise, "How could he be sick? Wasn't he fine yesterday?"
"The Crown Princess is just trying to hold on. She gets dizzy every time she wakes up and needs to rest for a long time. The court doctor said it was caused by overwork and told her to rest for a few days."
"If it's so serious, then I'll go and serve the Crown Prince's wife."
Xia Zheng was about to leave when Nanny Niu immediately reached out to stop her, "The Crown Princess has told Su Rong not to do anything. Su Rong is the only one in charge of the household right now. Now that the Crown Princess is taking a break, all matters at the household will be handed over to you."
As she was speaking, a maid came forward holding a wooden box. Nanny Niu opened the box, revealing several pairs of playing cards and two sets of keys.
This means that the entire Duke's Mansion is under the management of Xia Zheng.
Everyone was wondering how the Crown Prince's wife could be so confused. Manager Xia Zheng was in such a mess, yet they still wanted to hand over the entire mansion to her. Wouldn't this ruin it?
But on second thought, if the Crown Prince's wife had not been so ill that she could not continue, this would not have happened.
But what do they do?
Manager Xia Zheng will definitely cause a mess. The newcomers are better than her and will definitely not accept it. When chaos breaks out, they, the little people at the bottom, will probably become the victims of the disaster.
"Madame Chen! It's bad! It's bad! Zhao Liu is going to be beaten to death by Zhou Shenhua!"
Before anyone could wail, cries were heard outside the door.
