28. It became an ornament
The prince handed over all the accounts of the mansion to her, which is equivalent to acquiescing to her position as the mistress of the mansion, who now sees her not bending over and bowing her hands, respectfully?
But I didn't expect that the people of Qiongju Courtyard wanted to rectify the courtyard, and the first person they looked for was not her, but Steward Wu, and then the first thing Steward Wu looked for was not her, but the prince who was very busy!!
She, the hostess, has become an ornament!
When did the girl in Qiongju Courtyard have such a scheming?
She quickly collected her thoughts, smiled slightly, and pretended to be happy: "That's good, that's good, I'm just worried that the prince doesn't know about it, since the prince knows about it early on, then I don't have to worry!"
After speaking, she asked curiously: "So, Steward Wu came from the prince early in the morning?"
"No, the old slave came directly from the residence!"
"When did the housekeeper see the prince tell him about this?"
Wu Yan frowned slightly, always feeling that the concubine's question today was a bit strange, but he still replied respectfully: "It was last night, and after the prince came back, he specifically asked about the eldest lady!"
Concubine Chen's heart was astringent, but she still smiled: "So that's the case, by the way, the prince came back late last night, right?"
"Yes, when the prince came back last night, it was already halfway through!"
Concubine Chen's heart was even more bitter, of course she knew when the prince came back, because she had been waiting for him to come back in the house!
Knowing that he had gone into the study when he returned, she didn't dare to disturb him.
But I didn't expect that even if he came back late, the first thing he asked when he came back was about that little slut, even if it was just a short day out, he didn't feel at ease!
He always put that little slut at the top of his heart whenever and wherever he wanted, how could he ever take her and their two daughters seriously?
She couldn't hold back the sourness in her heart, and said with a smile: "I know that the prince has been very busy in the past two days, and I haven't seen him for a few days, I thought I would go to see the prince, but I didn't expect to just run into Steward Wu!"
Wu Yan was still thinking about where the concubine was going to leave the courtyard so early, thinking that it was fortunate that he came in time, otherwise if the concubine went out to enjoy the garden with other ladies today, then wouldn't he have missed it, but he didn't expect that she was going to find the prince!
"It turns out that the side concubine is going to see the prince, but the prince has already left!"
"Already gone?" Concubine Chen's eyes suddenly darkened.
Wu Yan: "Yes, it was said that something happened on the side of Wufu Mountain last night, so the prince left before dawn this morning!"
The loss on Concubine Chen's face was hard to hide, but it only returned to normal in an instant, and she smiled faintly: "Since the prince has left, then I will wait for him to come back and see him." ”
After speaking, he instructed Aunt Sui beside him: "Aunt Sui, you quickly go and get the token from the account room!"
"Yes, Concubine Fang!"
After a while, Sui Gu took a delicate small golden token from the house, Concubine Chen took it from her hand and handed it directly to Wu Yan: "This is the token for withdrawing the silver taels from the account room, how many silver taels do you need, you can go directly to the account room to get it!!"
Wu Yanyan took it, thanked him and wanted to leave, but suddenly remembered something, and said respectfully to Concubine Chen: "If Concubine Fang wants to visit the eldest lady, you can wait for the prince to come back, and ask the prince in person! The prince has decreed that no one is allowed to go to the Qiongju Courtyard to disturb the eldest lady without his permission!"
Concubine Chen's body stiffened, and her clenched fingers were about to dig into the flesh, but she still smiled and nodded!
