The mother and son sat together and enjoyed a delicious breakfast. Well, it was actually not far from lunch.

After the mother and son finished their meal and played for a while, the old housekeeper walked in with a troubled look on his face.

Looking at the patched clothes worn by the old butler, Yun Meng felt sad for him.

The old butler was a personal eunuch who followed the old King of Qi. His name was Liu Zhong, and he had been working hard for the affairs of the palace all his life.

After the old King Qi died in battle, the old housekeeper followed him around and worked hard to maintain the reputation of the King Qi's Mansion.

He even invested all his life savings, but still failed to maintain the reputation of the palace. The expenses of the palace were really too high.

Not only do they have to support the private army and secret guards consisting of one thousand people, but they also have to support the old soldiers who are left homeless after being injured.

When the housekeeper came to him, it was because he was really penniless and had no idea where to get the money.

So he thought of selling part of the palace's farm, shops, fields and other real estate, but in order to sell the real estate, he had to ask Yunmeng for consent first.

In the old housekeeper's mind, selling real estate is a waste of money and it is a sign of unfilial descendants.

And now he is pushing the princess to become that spendthrift woman and unfilial daughter-in-law. Alas, he is a sinner.

"Princess." The old butler bowed his head and bowed deeply, but he still hadn't figured out how to start the conversation.

"Uncle Zhong, what are you doing? You are an old man in the palace. I have exempted you from the formalities long ago. What are you doing?"

Yun Meng stepped forward and helped the old butler up, with a questioning look in his eyes.

"Princess, this, this!" The old butler looked embarrassed and didn't know where to start for a moment.

"Are you out of money?" Yun Meng asked, not continuing to embarrass the old butler.

"Yeah." The old butler lowered his head even more, not daring to look at Yunmeng's eyes.

"Oh, I thought it was something else." Yun Meng smiled. She had gained a lot last night, and today she had something to use.

Yun Meng immediately took out a stack of banknotes from her sleeve, or actually from the space, and handed it to the old butler, "Here is 50,000 taels, you can spend it first."

"Ah?" The old butler was shocked. He couldn't believe that the princess had so much money. No, no matter how much money the princess had, it still belonged to her.

Will the Qi Palace still save its reputation by using a woman's dowry?

"Princess, you can't do that. You can't do that. This is your dowry money. We can't touch it."

The old housekeeper waved his hands repeatedly, "I, I just want to ask if I can sell the farm to make up for it."

"Uncle Zhong, you worry too much. Since I have married into the palace and become the Princess of Qi, we are a family.

The mansion is in trouble now, so it is normal for me to use my own money to supplement it. At worst, when Mobao grows up, I can let him make money to supplement me.

Just think of it as a loan from me as his mother." After saying that, Yun Meng stuffed the banknote into the old housekeeper's hand.

Mo Bao, who had been standing nearby and watching for a while, seemed to understand what was said, and he patted his chest and shouted, "I borrowed it, Mo Bao will return it.

Mobao can make money, wait until Mobao grows up."

The old butler's eyes turned red when he heard this. His little prince was not even three years old, but he had already started to take on the responsibility of running the palace.

"Thank you, little prince."

The old butler was about to perform another great ceremony, and this time Yunmeng did not stop him. This was the old butler's loyalty to Xiao Mobao, and Xiao Mobao could accept this gift.

"No need to be polite, Grandpa Butler." Mo Bao stepped forward like a little adult to help the old butler up, patted the old butler's calf and said seriously:

"Mobao will support you and won't let you go hungry."

"Okay, thank you, Prince." The old housekeeper wiped away his tears and thought to himself, My Prince, you see, our Prince Qi's Mansion has a successor.

The prince is a good person, really a good person. When he grows up, he will definitely support the Prince Qi’s Mansion.

Let those who take advantage of others' misfortune and look down on Prince Qi's Mansion open their eyes and let them know that Prince Qi's Mansion is not to be messed with.

With the silver, the old butler respectfully said goodbye. He was busy and had to buy food quickly. The food and clothing of so many people all required money.

"Princess, you." Chunzhi looked embarrassed. The princess took out so much silver at once. Does the princess have any money left?

Just as Harue was still thinking about her words, a report came from outside the door.

"Princess, the old butler sent the account books and keys of the mansion to you. He said that you will be in charge of everything in the mansion today."

Yun Meng rolled her eyes after hearing this, but she did not refuse. The original owner had never taken over the housekeeping power.

That was because the original owner was timid and afraid that he would not be able to manage the huge palace, and was also afraid of attracting danger.

But Yunmeng is not afraid. Since this is the territory where she will live in the future, it is natural for her to control it.

Yunmeng immediately ordered someone to come in.

Soon three servants came in holding account books and keys, and Chunzhi introduced their identities and responsibilities to Yunmeng.

The first person who came in was the manager in charge of the canteen, called Aunt Fat. She was a family-born child, and her whole family worked in the palace, so naturally there was no problem with her loyalty.

Although she is called Aunt Fat, she is actually very skinny, which shows that there is not much oil in the cafeteria.

The second person who came in was Nanny Qian, who was in charge of the backyard and also took care of the embroidery room. She had to do it because there were only three people in total, including the embroiderer and the nanny.

As the mansion became financially strapped, the other staff were dismissed by the old housekeeper. Besides, there were only two masters in the mansion, so two embroiderers were enough.

The third person to come in was Lin Fei, the second steward who was in charge of the front yard. He was a veteran who retired from the battlefield and had been the old prince's personal soldier.

Because he had a disabled arm, when he returned to his hometown, his cruel parents took away all the money he had and kicked him out of the house.

It was a coincidence that the old prince happened to be on a business trip to Lin Fei's hometown and saw Lin Fei carrying a large bag at the dock.

The old prince was heartbroken, so he took Lin Fei away on the spot. He could afford to support his soldiers.

Originally they wanted to send Lin Fei to a farm to live out his retirement, but Lin Fei refused to accept his fate. He felt that one arm would not affect his life and ability to do things.

Lin Fei made a request to the old prince, asking for knowledge of left-handed swordplay and to work for the old butler.

He will prove his ability with practical actions. He, Lin Fei, has never been a useless person, and he will never accept food given out of pity.

If the old prince doesn't agree, he will go back to the dock and continue carrying bags. He can support himself with his own abilities, really!

After reading about Lin Fei's past, Yun Meng had to give him a thumbs up, and Lin Fei also proved his value with facts.

Not only is Xi good with his left-handed knife, he also does his job as a manager very well and is the successor trained by the old housekeeper.

As expected, after the old butler retired, Lin Fei took over the position of chief butler of the Prince Qi's Mansion.

These three people, together with the old butler, were responsible for the operation of the Prince Qi's Mansion.

Yunmeng knew that the Prince Qi's Mansion was in decline, but she didn't expect it to be so declining. In such a large mansion, there were only three stewards left besides the old butler.

Alas, when I think back to when the original owner had just married in, the palace was so bustling, and there were more than three managers in her courtyard alone.

Yun Meng couldn't think about the past, she had to look forward. Being able to live another life in the original owner's body was already a huge gain.
