Chapter 136: What the hell do you want that bastard to do?

~7 min read 1,345 words

Princess Consort, you should still eat it; I've already prepared the candied fruit. Take the medicine and immediately hold a piece of candied fruit in your mouth, and the bitterness will pass. Zi Su finally, still helplessly coaxed her.

Jiang Yun Chu looked at the plate of candied fruit; there were only three pieces.

"Must I eat it?"

Zi Su nodded. "You must eat it!"

Jiang Yun Chu resigned herself and ate!

She directly lifted the bowl, with a posture of facing death as if returning home, gulped it down, then quickly grabbed a candied fruit and threw it into her mouth.

That sweet, cloying aroma instantly entered her mouth, dispersing some of the bitterness.

"Ah, this medicine, when will it ever end?"

She really wished for modern medicine; although traditional Chinese medicine is good, it requires long-term drinking to regulate, and moreover, this bitterness, those who have drunk it all say……

!!!

"Princess Consort, the Imperial Medical Institute says that in three more days it will be fine." Zi Su answered dutifully.

She had inquired about all these, just in case the Princess Consort asked.

Jiang Yun Chu's mouth twitched slightly, then she looked at Zi Su: "Actually... I also don't really want to know that clearly."

Zi Su now was a bit dazed, with a touch of cuteness.

Seeing her like that, Jiang Yun Chu couldn't help but smile.

"Su Xin, let's go to the side chamber." Now the side chamber is more like her place to receive guests.

"Princess Consort, these are what I've organized; please review them." Su Xin, following the method taught by the Princess Consort, this year 【she】 calculated output, tenant grain distribution, each household's amount, each household's population.

"Not bad." Jiang Yun Chu nodded, then casually flipped through a few ledgers of Zhuangzi's accounts, which were done well.

Rather, there was no longer the former practice of deceiving simpletons.

"Princess Consort, the rouge workshop is still idle, and the shops we previously cleared out are also idle; what are our plans for the future?" Su Xin looked at the Princess Consort's property, which includes not only her dowry but also the shops of the Regent Prince's Manor.

Now all the external enterprises are overseen by Su Xin, but all the ideas still need to be initiated by Jiang Yun Chu.

"The rouge workshop cannot be started yet; we need to wait a bit."

"These few shops, I need to arrange them again next spring."

"These two shops, arrange them when winter approaches."

She lightly picked out a few shops; she had already scouted those shops, roughly they have been arranged, but it's not yet time.

"Okay, I've noted it down." Su Xin said softly.

Then she asked again, "Now the new grain has arrived; should we sell the old grain, or how should we handle it?"

Previously, when the Imperial Noble Consort managed the household, when new grain arrived, the old grain was sold, and storage of the new grain began.

This year, with the Princess Consort in charge, naturally she needs to issue an order to determine how to arrange things.

"The new grain... let the Wang Fu eat it."

"The old grain, find a warehouse and store all the Wang Fu's grain."

"Also, in the name of the grain store, stockpile grain everywhere; do not bring it into Jingdu; store it where you bought it."

Jiang Yun Chu's fingers tapped the tabletop.

This year, although there is a bumper harvest, the temperature is clearly higher than in previous years; fields near water are somewhat better, but those far from water can only rely on how much grain heaven gives.

"Okay." Su Xin didn't ask for the reason, she directly recorded it.

All the matters have been settled.

An unexpected person came to the Wang Fu.

"Yun Steward." Seeing Yun Steward, Jiang Yun Chu actually found it unexpected.

Previously, this Yun Steward managed the shop without any problems; all accounts were checked clearly.

All the Zhuangzi estates and shops she had handed over to Su Xin for management; only one shop, the jewelry shop, remained under Yun Steward's management.

After so long, this was still her first time voluntarily coming to the Wang Fu.

"Yun Suying, kowtow to see the Princess Consort."

This time, she did not raise her proud head, but knelt and bowed on the ground, lowering her head.

Jiang Yun Chu was somewhat puzzled, "Get up and speak."

"Yes." Yun Suying then rose to her feet.

The master's side passed on the message: henceforth, information from Jingdu would be shared with the Princess Consort.

She is not only the person in charge of the Wang Fu's jewelry shop, but also the person in charge of Shadow in Ning Jing.

"Before, when the young lady and the Young Master had an accident, people of the Third Prince interfered." Yun Suying took out a painting; that painting was very old, looking as if it were from long ago.

However, upon seeing the person depicted, Jiang Yun Chu's eyes narrowed.

This person is exactly that eunuch who forged the imperial edict; the people in the palace, according to her description, have been investigated for some days, but with no results.

Xi Gonggong even specially came over to say that there is no such person in the palace.

"Who is this person?" Jiang Yun Chu asked.

She marveled at Yun Suying's methods, and was also surprised by her performance today.

Could it be……

She guessed correctly!

General! At that time, to save them without seeking repayment, such people were few and far between.

Many wished for her death, but those hoping she would live were all too few.

"He is a person of the Third Prince; thirteen years ago he faked his death and left the imperial palace; actually he had always been in the Third Prince's Manor, but half a month ago the Third Prince's Manor suffered a flood, and he did not escape." Yun Suying answered.

He didn't beat around the bush; one could say he tells all he knows.

Jiang Yun Chu lowered her head and chuckled, looking at Yun Suying: "Your master is quite a remarkable person."

Yun Suying's mouth twitched, then she carefully raised her head to look at the Princess Consort, "Princess Consort, from now on you are my master."

Before, she was the one secretly protecting the Regent Prince's Manor; in fact, the news from the imperial palace was sent by her. If we had waited for Kang Fu to deliver it to the imperial palace, the news wouldn't have been this fast, and His Majesty wouldn't have been this fast either.

Moreover, the news from the General's side was also sent by her.

To be honest, she greatly admired the Princess Consort; from their first meeting, she had admired her.

"Oh? You generals are quite efficient." Jiang Yun Chu chuckled, seeing Yun Suying's surprised expression, her suspicion was further confirmed.

However...

She didn't feel relieved; she just wanted to curse her mother a bit.

What's the point of a good-for-nothing man? Having looks, money, and children—what a wonderful life!

She didn't want any man at all; she couldn't do anything to serve a man.

However, she was still somewhat satisfied with how Ning Chengyan was handled; at the very least, she wasn't forced to pretend she knew nothing and hide everything.

"Are there any of your people in the Wang Fu?" Jiang Yun Chu asked.

After all, she also feared harming friendly forces.

"There is one..." As she said this, Yun Suying's face looked a bit helpless, even appearing somewhat twisted.

"Who?"

Jiang Yun Chu became a bit curious—who could make this Steward Yun twist like that, I wonder which immortal it is?

"It's my husband; a few days ago, through the shadow's connection, he entered the Wang Fu and is now working in the back kitchen." Yun Suying spoke, feeling utterly hopeless.

She knew a bit about how this came about.

She just didn't expect that her blockhead of a husband—she really couldn't figure out how his mind works.
