Chapter Fifty-Eight: Black and White

When the two mothers-in-law saw that Dongyan was going to tell the princess, their faces turned pale with fright, and they fell to their knees with a thud, begging: "The girl is merciful!" Spare us this time! We don't dare anymore! ”

Dongyan squinted and looked at the two stupid minions who were kneeling on the ground, grabbing the corners of her skirts and begging for mercy, and said sharply: "If I let you go, won't I break the rules set by the princess!"

The white-faced woman's eyes rolled, and she hurriedly took off the jade bracelet in her hand and quietly stuffed it into Dongyan's hand.

The black-faced woman also did the same, and secretly stuffed dozens of taels of silver into the winter smoke.

Dongyan quietly put away the jade bracelet and silver, put it in his sleeve, and the originally sharp expression on his face finally became much gentler.

Dongyan sighed to the two mothers-in-law: "You are also almost half a hundred!" If I really want to go to the princess to sue you for telling the truth, the princess will definitely not spare you! Maybe I'll beat you each with 20 boards and drive you out of the palace! Thinking about it like this, I felt a little unbearable in my heart. Thinking that you two are first-time offenders, I will spare you this time! If there is a next time, don't blame me for being ruthless! ”

The two mothers-in-law thanked them a lot: "There are a lot of winter smoke girls!" We promise not to do it again! ”

Dongyan said again: "However, since you have done something wrong, you have to accept punishment!" You eat and drink at night, and this alone is a big taboo in the house! From this month onwards, half of the monthly silver shall be deducted directly from each of you for three consecutive months as a punishment to see the after-effects. ”

Two mothers-in-law, you look at me, I look at you, I don't dare to refute.

"Also," Dongyan continued, "from today onwards, the two of you will keep a close eye on the servants in the mansion, and if there is anyone who dares to criticize the princess behind her back, and if the princess's reputation is bad, report it directly to me." If you have not been able to catch the other troublesome servants, you will have to keep the night watch until you have enough of them. Do you hear me? ”

"We ......" The black-faced mother-in-law just opened her mouth hesitantly, but the white-faced mother-in-law hurriedly interrupted and said with a smile: "We strictly follow the teachings of the winter smoke girl!" At the disposal of the Winter Smoke Girl! ”

"Good!" Winter Smoke said proudly.

Since then, the two mothers-in-law with black and white faces have really done their duty, eavesdropping on people's conversations everywhere, and secretly reported the servants' gossip and criticism of the princess to Dongyan. Winter Smoke changed hands and went to tell Han Liyue again.

Han Liyue reprimanded the two servants who were chewing on the root of their tongues in the palace and kicked them out of the palace.

Slowly, the people in the palace began to put themselves in danger, beware of the princess's eyeliner in the subordinates.

With Han Liyue's acquiescence, Dongyan became more and more arrogant, and disposed of many servants who did not like it.

At this time, Helian Yunjue, the real owner of the palace, was busy with the affairs outside the palace, and had no intention of bothering about the internal affairs of the palace. What's more, Han Liyue is now the princess of Annan, and the housekeeping of the palace should have been taken care of by her. As long as it's not too out of the ordinary, Helian Yunjue can still turn a blind eye and don't care.

After a week of rest and recuperation, the head of the palace, the eldest maid Yuan'er, finally recovered from the cold and began to assist the new princess Han Liyue in handling the affairs of the palace again. Who would have thought that in just one week, Dongyan had already taken over the internal affairs that should have belonged to Yuan'er's management under Han Liyue's secret instructions, and the main girl Yuan'er, who had recovered from her illness and returned, was completely useless and was emptied, leaving only an empty title.

Fortunately, Yuan'er is calm, does not fight or grab, simply does a good job, and is happy to be idle. Yuan'er concentrated on completing the important tasks assigned by Helian Yunjue.
