Quick Wear: Who said soft girls have to be obedient! biu!

The whole city is looking for the whereabouts of the second prince, focusing on checking the coastal villages. A reward has also been issued. Anyone who has any clues about the second prince can claim the reward.

But before they could find any valuable clues, a strange man found the palace.

His face was ugly and scary, covered with scars. His clothes were shabby but clean. He attracted everyone's attention as soon as he appeared.

The man claimed to be the second prince Darren.

The Marquis, who is temporarily handling government affairs on behalf of the royal family, is a distant cousin of the king and one of the few nobles in the city who has a blood relationship with the royal family.

Although he was relegated to a lower position than Duke Charles due to some minor reasons related to his elders, now that the royal family is in trouble, he has regained power. The Marquis is most concerned about the disappearance of the second prince.

He didn't want to find his nephew Darren.

Looking at the man who claimed to be the second prince, the Marquis fell into deep thought.

I don’t know what this face has been through, but it is impossible to recognize its original appearance. Only the beautiful eyes look exactly the same as the deceased queen.

Six years have passed, and the 18-year-old boy has become like this. The Marquis feels that this is an opportunity given to him by God.

"How could he be the second prince when he is so ugly? Where did he come from and dare to claim the throne? Get him out!" The Marquis waved his hand, and his soldiers immediately rushed forward and pressed Darren to the ground.

Darren still remembers this uncle, “Uncle Will, I’m Darren, and you took me riding horses when I was a kid!”

Marquis Will smiled deeply: "If everyone claims to be the second prince, how can we tell them apart? No need to say more, drag him out and drive him away!"

Darren seemed to understand something and stopped struggling. After being thrown out of the palace, he waited for the soldiers to leave before re-entering the city, planning to find a job in the city first.

Because of his appearance, no one wanted to hire him for fear of scaring away customers, and the boss himself was afraid too.

Darren didn't even have much money, not even enough to buy two loaves of bread in the city.

A kind-hearted old lady saw that although he was ugly, he did not look like a bad person, so she kindly suggested to him that he could apply for a job at the Duke's manor in the city, which was recently recruiting workers.

Duke is the first-class title among the nobility. Lord Duke Charles had made great military achievements in the past, and the territory he divided needed a lot of helpers. Recently, for some unknown reason, he began to recruit a large number of people.

It is said that the person in charge of the manor now is Miss Anna, the stepdaughter of Duke Charles.

Because Miss Anna discovered the prince's secret and made great contributions, the issue of the dukedom title has not been discussed yet. Everyone is waiting for the second prince to come back to decide whether to keep the title.

According to the regulations, the title should be inherited by the Duke's eldest son or a male nephew in the family, but there is no suitable candidate in the Duke Charles' family.

The title must either be taken back or the king must personally designate an heir.

It was precisely because of this that Gu Zhen wanted to make more money during this period. Even without her title and territory, she could still do some business in the city to make a living.

She hired people to make more woolen textiles. There were also large tracts of land on the estate for growing flax, which could be made into hemp ropes and linen cloth. This was a very labor-intensive and time-consuming job.

The finished products can be shipped onto ships, and the developed overseas trade can bring Gu Zhen a steady stream of wealth.

Gu Zhen offered a very high salary. As the descendant of the Duke, no one doubted her ability, and there was an endless stream of people applying for the job.

You don't have to be a slave, you only need to work eight hours a day, and you have food and accommodation provided. This was a good thing that you couldn't even imagine at the time.

Not only did the new workers implement this system, but the slaves who had once been on the manor also regained their freedom. Gu Zhen had limited ability and could only reduce the oppression of the feudal system as much as possible on this land that belonged to the Duke.

This move was met with fierce opposition from Catherine, but she became obedient after being locked up and starved for a few meals.

Now everyone in the manor listens to Miss Anna alone.

Miss Ella is no match for her. Pretending to be pitiful will not bring them any benefits. It can only be a topic of conversation after dinner.

Gu Zhen was very satisfied with this. No matter what era, if you take benefits from others, you have to be obedient and do your job.

She flipped through the roster, eliminated a few dishonest people, and fired them all once they were stable.

While they were busy, the housekeeper came over and politely greeted Gu Zhen: "Miss Anna, an applicant said he wanted to meet you after being rejected."

Gu Zhen closed the roster. This was the first time. "Bring him in. We recruit people based on the principle of fairness and justice. If there are any problems, just report them. This is great!"

The butler immediately puffed out his chest with pride. He had received a lot of compliments recently, and Miss Anna was never stingy in her affirmation of his work.

It's not like before, when I always had to listen to Lady Catherine's harsh accusations.

The butler immediately took the man, whom he dared not look at any longer, to the living room.

It has been raining a lot recently and it was still drizzling outside. Darren looked at the shoes on his feet and stood at the bottom of the steps, not daring to go in.

Afraid of dirtying this magnificent and luxurious house.

Gu Zhen held the cup of tea and understood when she saw his face. If this happened in modern times, no one would be willing to hire him.

Especially in this era.

This face would scare people to death if they saw it at night.

"Bring him a pair of shoes," Gu Zhen ordered the housekeeper, "and bring him some milk and bread."

She could hear the man's stomach growling even as she was sitting in the living room.

Darren blushed, but no one could see. He put on the shoes the butler brought and finally dared to step onto the thick wool carpet in the living room.

Gu Zhen pointed to the sofa opposite: "Please sit down."

Darren thought that this young lady was very brave. People in the city, young and old, regardless of gender, would scream and run away when they saw her.

Ever since he had luckily survived the sea six years ago and ended up in a small village, he no longer dared to run among the crowds, especially where there were many children.

Darren really needs this job. He also has to find a way to get rid of the scar on his face, return to the palace, and drive Marquis Will away.

"My dear lady, your recruitment notice does not require appearance. I have the strength and willingness to endure hardship, so why can't you hire me?"

Gu Zhen smiled and said, "I didn't ask for any external conditions, but I also said that the final right of interpretation belongs to me."

Darren was stunned for a moment, then he understood what she meant after a little thought. He was choked for a moment and speechless.

"What's your name? What can you do?" Gu Zhen felt that he didn't look like a bad person. His conversation was very polite and, most importantly, his voice was very nice.

Darren lied that his name was Charlie, "I...I can learn anything."

That means knowing nothing.

Darren has been making a living by fishing at the seaside, and occasionally doing some rough work in exchange for food. Before he recovered his memory, he was always in a daze, and was often bullied and teased by naughty children, and had no chance to learn more.
