Chapter 1512 Return to the General’s Mansion

The prince didn't say anything. He just listened quietly. There was no expression on his face, but his eyes were flickering.

He thought to himself that the general seemed to have a special feeling for Princess Fuxia and was even willing to conflict with his own mother.

What does all this mean?

After a while, the prince finally spoke: "In that case, the general's achievements today are partly due to Princess Fuxia. So, although the general's mother did something wrong today, she lacked the opportunity to receive formal education and did not know how to get along with other ladies. How about this, the prince will send a maid from the palace to the general's mansion to teach the old lady some basic etiquette. And let the old lady know that she should be careful in what she says and does in the capital!"

Hearing this, Zhang Gaoyi felt helpless. In fact, they had already thought of a countermeasure and planned to let the old lady leave the capital as soon as possible to avoid any more trouble.

However, how could he refuse the prince's kindness?

Therefore, he could only thank him respectfully: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern!"

Seeing Zhang Gaoyi's grateful expression, the prince smiled slightly and waved his hand to signal him to leave.

After Zhang Gaoyi left, the prince fell into deep thought.

He was well aware of the great general's power and influence, and now it seemed that he had a special relationship with Princess Fuxia.

In the future, we may need to rely on their strength to consolidate our position.

Thinking of this, the prince's eyes became more determined.

The old lady of the General's Mansion accidentally said the wrong thing at Princess Fuxia's housewarming party and offended the honorable Princess Fuxia!

This matter quickly spread throughout the capital after the princess's housewarming party, and the people were all worried for the general.

You know, Princess Fuxia is the most beloved granddaughter and niece of the current emperor. With just a word from her, the General's Mansion can be plunged into an irretrievable situation!

It is said that after the general learned about this, he was extremely dissatisfied with the old lady. He thought that her behavior was too reckless. Not only did it bring shame to the general's mansion, but it might even bring unpredictable disasters to the entire Tiger Army.

Even the military camp had some complaints about this ignorant old lady.

At this moment, Zhang Wangshi felt that she had not made any big mistake, she was just telling the truth.

Originally, she and her goddaughter went to the princess's mansion together, but after returning, her goddaughter hurriedly said goodbye and went home.

Now, besides a group of servants, there are only two masters left in the general's mansion: her and Old Man Zhang.

Although there were many servants, there was no one with whom he could communicate.

She couldn't help feeling lonely and isolated.

Zhang Wang sat on the bed, thinking about what happened today, and felt very wronged.

She thought she could live a happy life after coming to the capital, but she didn't expect that today's performance would be so unsatisfactory.

She began to worry whether the days ahead would be difficult.

Old man Zhang on the side kept asking Zhang Wangshi how she performed today, which made her very annoyed.

Furthermore, since both of them were born and raised in the country, they had no idea how to manage servants.

This plunged the entire General's Mansion into chaos. The servants didn't know whose orders to follow and had no idea what to do.

When Zhang Gaoyi came back, he saw the mess in the General's Mansion and couldn't help feeling a little dissatisfied.

He immediately called the housekeeper over and criticized him harshly: "If you, as a housekeeper, cannot manage the General's Mansion well, then please find someone else. I don't want to see this happen again. In addition, from now on, the account books of the General's Mansion must be handed over to Princess Fuxia, and all expenses must be approved by Princess Fuxia before they can be withdrawn. You must know who is the real owner here."

After saying that, he quickly walked towards the yard where Zhang Wangshi and the others were hiding.

The butler was left in a state of panic, and the servants looked at each other in bewilderment.

The chief steward came to his senses and said to the servants, "Hurry up and do your work. If you continue to be so unruly, you will be expelled from the mansion! Be alert and know who the real master is!"

After he said that, he went to the gate and planned to replace the gatekeeper.

He only heard about the last time the princess was turned away later, but since no one mentioned it before, he turned a blind eye.

But today the general got angry, and he was going to deal with all the unruly things in the general's mansion.

The position of a concierge is lucrative, but one also needs to have some good eyesight.

Soon, a shocking news spread throughout the mansion—the general and the old lady had a fierce quarrel.

Zhang Gaoyi accused Zhang Wangshi of not knowing her limits and talking nonsense in front of the princess; while Zhang Wangshi believed that Zhang Gaoyi was unfilial, disrespectful to her as a mother, and even wanted to disown her.

The two of them were at loggerheads, neither of them giving in, and the argument became increasingly intense, as if it was going to blow the roof off the house.

The quarrel was like a storm, sweeping across the entire mansion.

The servants were whispering to each other, discussing and guessing the outcome of this family dispute.

Some people were worried that the general would be affected by this, while others were secretly glad that they did not cause such trouble.

When Old Man Zhang heard what Zhang Gaoyi said, his face turned very ugly.

He didn't expect that his wife would make such a big mistake in the princess's mansion, and he was even more worried that this incident would have an adverse impact on his son's career.

So he eagerly asked Zhang Gaoyi about the situation.

However, when Zhang Gaoyi said that he might be punished for this matter, Old Man Zhang's attention suddenly shifted to his second son, worrying whether he would be bullied in the princess's mansion.

This instantly cooled Zhang Gaoyi's originally warm heart.

Zhang Gaoyi looked at his cold and selfish father in front of him, his heart filled with endless disappointment.

He stared at Old Man Zhang with cold eyes and said stiffly, "Dad, I've already told you that Gao Wu was not bullied at all in the Princess's Mansion. However, at the court meeting tomorrow morning, I will most likely be punished for what happened today."

After saying these words, Zhang Gaoyi paused for a moment, and then continued: "In addition, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will send maids from the palace to teach us the rules and complex interpersonal relationships of the noble families in the capital. Take the Ye family for example. Ziwei, the sixth daughter of the Ye family, is a good example. She is going to marry into the Hong family, so Zifen found someone to teach her these. If you can't learn these rules as soon as possible, I'm afraid you will get into big trouble in the capital in the future and offend more people. Don't let your son be isolated and helpless in the court at that time."

Zhang Gaoyi deliberately exaggerated his statement.
