When Qiao Zhenzhen realized that there were only two of them in the room, she suddenly felt her cheeks getting hot.

Han Zheng let her go, but not completely.

He held her in his arms, looking at her intently with his phoenix eyes.

Qiao Zhenzhen looked back and jokingly said, "Why are you looking so intently? Are you stunned by my beauty?"

"A little bit." Han Zheng admitted frankly.

He had always known that she was very beautiful, but because they were not married before, he was always embarrassed to look at her for too long. Now that she was his wife, he naturally had to take a good look at her.

"Just beauty?" Qiao Zhenzhen winked at him mischievously.

"There are many other things." Han Zheng said.

Qiao Zhenzhen asked: "For example?"

Han Zheng thought for a moment and said, "Naughty?"

What adjective is naughty? Is she a ten-year-old boy?

"Isn't it cute?"

"...You could also say it's cute." Han Zheng said reluctantly.

Qiao Zhenzhen resisted the urge to roll her eyes and tried to be more friendly, at least today.

"On this happy day, I forgive you."

Han Zheng was puzzled, "Did I do something wrong just now?"

Qiao Zhenzhen smiled gently, "No."

Han Zheng instinctively felt that he should not continue this topic.

"By the way, you just said that you sent away those four colorful maids?"

Qiao Zhenzhen said: "You can't say I sent them away. I asked them to go back to where they came from."

Han Zheng looked at her silently. What's the difference between this and sending her away?

"If they still want to come back to work, they should ask their masters to take out their indentures. I have a minimum standard for hiring people here."

"I see." Han Zheng said, "I have no objection, you can do whatever you want."

"It's not that I don't want others to send people here, but at least they should be sincere. How can you hold the indenture in your hands and send people to other people's gardens? If there is a conflict, who should they choose to stand on? This is embarrassing."

"So, you're being considerate of others by driving them away."

Han Zheng took her hand and they sat down on the bed.

"Isn't it?" Qiao Zhenzhen looked at him with eyes wide open. "Although I may seem to have a bad temper, I have always been very kind to the people who serve me. Think about it, they have no position of their own, and everything depends on the master's mood. If it really comes to a situation where both sides are in trouble, aren't they the ones who are in trouble?"

Han Zheng thought, "What you said does make sense."

"That's natural. Everyone has his own duties and serves his own master. I can understand that."

Han Zheng nodded, "As you said."

"I'm telling you this because I hope that if someone criticizes me in front of you in the future, you can understand my actions instead of questioning me and then I have to explain to you."

Han Zheng held her delicate hand in his palm and rubbed it, "I understand. From now on, you can do whatever you want at home. I won't doubt what kind of person you are just because others say a few words about you."

The words sound nice, but Qiao Zhenzhen believes more in the saying "words of mouth are as good as gold".

So she would rather be a villain first and a gentleman later, and say it up front.

"And..."

"More?" Han Zheng laughed, "How long have you been here? You've already discovered so many problems?"

Qiao Zhenzhen patted the back of his hand and said, "Don't be sarcastic. I'm serious. How come we don't even have a proper kitchen in our garden?"

Han Zheng asked, "Are you hungry?" He suddenly remembered, "You haven't eaten much today, right?"

He glanced at the untouched food on the table.

He stood up and wanted to go out to give orders, but was stopped by Qiao Zhenzhen, "I'm not hungry, I'm too hungry."

Han Zheng said: "If you are too hungry, you should eat something, otherwise your stomach will feel uncomfortable."

He insisted on going out, and found Qingfeng, asking him to go to the big kitchen.

Qiao Zhenzhen said in the house: "I want chicken noodle soup, the noodles are a little harder."

Qingfeng responded loudly and ran away quickly.

Han Zheng returned to the house, and Qiao Zhenzhen asked, "You didn't have a small kitchen in your yard before?"

"No, my father said not to indulge in pleasure, and not to eat after dinner."

"Food is the most important thing for people. Eating is just a way of enjoying yourself." Qiao Zhenzhen disagreed. "Besides, isn't there a special situation? What if you are on business and come home late and miss dinner?"

Han Zheng said as a matter of course: "Then go to the big kitchen and let them do it."

Just like now, if you want to eat something, just order it. It’s not difficult.

"Isn't it that your whereabouts and what you ate are known to everyone?"

Han Zheng was puzzled, "Is there any problem with this?"

"Of course there is a problem." Qiao Zhenzhen said, "Second Aunt is in charge of the big kitchen, right?"

Han Zheng nodded.

"That's not your diet. Second Aunt knows it very well. Even if you eat an extra bowl of rice at night, she will know it."

"Is this...something that needs to be kept secret?"

Qiao Zhenzhen couldn't help but roll her eyes at him, "You men are so careless. Food is of vital importance to everyone. Otherwise, why would even His Majesty only dare to take three bites of each dish? His purpose is to not let others know his preference."

Han Zheng understood a little, but had not fully comprehended it.

"I don't mean to think badly of people, but there are some things that you really can't be careless about." Qiao Zhenzhen said, "I haven't told you before, there was one time when Yiwan was poisoned at home."

She told Han Zheng about how Hu Yujiao's maid poisoned Yi Wan.

Han Zheng frowned, "There is actually such a thing."

"Medicine is medicine if used properly, but it can also be poison if used by someone with evil intentions," Qiao Zhenzhen said. "Since then, I have paid extra attention to my diet. My family, no, my mother's family, is relatively simple after all. My brothers and I have no direct conflict of interest."

She looked at Han Zheng meaningfully.

Han Zheng opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything absolute.

Even the prince could be poisoned, so he really couldn't say with certainty, "I absolutely wouldn't do that."

"So I have to control my diet in my own hands. This time I brought a few kitchen people from home, and I plan to use them in our garden in the future."

Han Zheng asked: "Set up a kitchen in Suiyuan? Then I'll go find one in a few days..."

"I also brought a construction team from home." Qiao Zhenzhen said, "These are not dowry. We will let them go back after our garden is renovated.

You know, my place is too big and there are not many people living there. Many places are not occupied. Houses are prone to deterioration when no one lives there. These people are usually responsible for house maintenance. "

"...You've really thought it through."

"I don't dare to take credit for it. My mother asked me to bring it here. She said that no one has lived in Suiyuan for more than ten years. Even if it was renovated, I might not be satisfied. If I bring my own people here, it can be changed immediately. It's convenient."

"You said you're not a squeamish person, so why can't you live in the house?"

"Of course we can live anywhere, but we have to live here for decades. Don't you want to live more comfortably?"

"You're the only one who can say it." Han Zheng smiled, and he tapped her nose lightly, "Okay, whatever you say."
