After I became a widow

The news of Xiao Beihuai's death was reported to the capital three months ago, and half a month later, his "body" was sent back to the capital. The emperor was furious and denied that the body belonged to Xiao Beihuai, and ordered Jin Wu to search for Xiao Beihuai all the way north. .

And one month ago, Su Jingqing met Xiao Beihuai at Hongxiuzhao. This prince had many injuries, but he didn't have any new injuries, which means that at that time, his escape was smooth.

Last night, when he saw Xiao Beihuai again, in addition to his left arm wrapped in white cloth, he also had two new wounds on his back that had just healed, which proved that his sneaking back to the capital had been discovered.

But Xiao Yunyi was still making trouble for himself during the day, and busy arranging people to come to the bridal chamber at night, never thinking about finding out whether Xiao Beihuai would take the opportunity to return to Huai Palace, as if he didn't even know that Xiao Beihuai had already arrived in the capital.

But everyone knows that Xiao Yunyi is the one who least wants Xiao Beihuai to live.

This is strange.

Now there is another news that something will happen in Duke Huai's residence, and it becomes more and more confusing.

Su Jingqing was a little unhappy, there were too many troubles.

"Uncle Zhong, get up first, I don't know the specific situation when I first arrived in the palace, please explain to me carefully."

Seeing Su Jingqing nodding his head, Uncle Zhong wiped away his tears and stood up.

"There's news from the palace that as long as Duke Huai's mansion is open for a day, the emperor thinks that the prince is still alive and will come back, so he has been unwilling to make Prince Yi the crown prince for a long time, so some people want to destroy Duke Huai's mansion."

Duke Huai's mansion without a master is already in name only, and there are always people around the emperor who are listening to him. Uncle Zhong is afraid that one day the emperor will think of others when he sees things. It's good to be gone.

People are gone, but at least the home is still there. Others will know who once lived in this Prince Huai Mansion when they saw it, and remember that there was such a person.

But if even the family is gone, and other traces are erased together, even if one day Xiao Beihuai comes back alive, how many people will believe that he is the real Duke Huai?

Perhaps, this is the real purpose of Xiao Yunyi's mother and son in wanting Xiao Beihuai to die.

What kind of threat can a dead person who only exists in the memory of others pose?

Su Jingqing also wanted to praise her good skills.

Moreover, Su Jingqing couldn't trust the Son of Heaven, he didn't think Uncle Zhong's worries were superfluous.

The Son of Heaven could be sick again and again for three months after hearing the news of the eldest son's death, and he could not even show his face when the eldest son got married. The contradictions made Su Jingqing feel that his love for Xiao Beihuai was very false.

It's like satisfying your own self-comfort.

Su Jingqing nodded, "Don't worry, Uncle Zhong. From yesterday, Prince Huai's Mansion is my home. Without my permission, no one can touch a single brick."

Anyone who dares to touch him will chop off his hand!

Su Jingqing's expression and eyes did not change at all, but Siyan and Baishu who had been with him since childhood knew that their eldest son was serious.

"Hey," Uncle Zhong replied very happily, knelt down and kowtowed heavily to Su Jingqing, "From now on, the palace will be at the mercy of the princess."

Su Jingqing didn't refuse, just said: "Go and call everyone, and let those who are not convenient to show up come see me alone later."

"Yes," Uncle Zhong got up quickly and went to call someone.

Su Jingqing looked back at Siyan, "Go and carry the money and the table."

People don't meet casually, if you want to win people's hearts with both kindness and power, and you want to get the power of the housekeeper of the palace, Sun has been telling you about it for half a month, Su Jingqing remembers it clearly.

From Xiao Beihuai's nanny to the concierge, there were 78 people in total, including 40 guards.

Su Jingqing assigned the guards to Bai Shu, "Try your skills, and then look at the defense."

Su Jingqing glanced at the box at his feet, indicating that it was his.

Bai Shu waved to two of the guards, "Come on, do me a favor, carry it out and divide it."

As soon as the guards left, the number of people was reduced by half. Su Jingqing didn't say much about the men who did rough work at the bottom. He only asked Xiang Yu to make a note of his name, and he was rewarded with money before leaving.

The middle batch was purchased by the cook's account room, which needed to be typed. Su Jingqing asked the literacy club to keep accounts on the spot, and let him be in charge of the kitchen accounts in the future. He sent someone to check every month.

This batch is let go, the remaining few people are very interesting, except for Zhong Bo, the housekeeper, they are all from Xiao Beihuai Yijingxuan.

There is a nanny, a big maid, four second-class maids, and no servants.

When Su Jingqing asked, Zisu immediately stepped forward to reply, "Usually there is only one guard by the prince's side, and he went to the border with him during the expedition, and now his whereabouts are unknown."

Su Jingqing nodded and didn't say much.

Xiang Yu, who was registering at the side, suddenly said, "Yu Lian, are you Mama's daughter?"

Xiang Yu smiled, "No wonder there is a bit of resemblance."

Su Jingqing only moved his ears, and didn't even look back. He leaned lazily on the chair and held back his yawn. He was sleepy.

After the roster was recorded, Xiang Yu presented it to Su Jingqing, "Princess, please have a look."

Looking at Su Jingqing, he couldn't help laughing, Xiao Beihuai, the nanny, was quite caring.

There are four second-class maids in a house, three of whom are related to her.

Su Jing glanced at the only maid who didn't matter, and found that she was the least outstanding among the four in appearance, and the only one she could do was embroidery.

Well, there is also Zisu, who has no flaws compared to the nanny who is obviously showing a little air.

"The prince is not here, so let's arrange work for you again. Yingshuang, Yulian, and Qiuxue go to the back kitchen, Dan'er comes to Yuqingyuan to do needlework, Zisu follows Uncle Zhong, and as for the mother..."

"Princess, this is not acceptable. We are all servants in the prince's room, how can we go to the back kitchen to do rough work."

Before Su Jingqing finished speaking, Yu Lian stood up and refuted.

She held up her white and smooth hands to show Su Jingqing, "Princess, if we hurt our hands when we do rough work, it will be troublesome to serve the prince in the future. The prince is a noble person, and his clothes are all made of brocade and silk. Rough hands are not inconvenient." Serving the lord to get dressed may even scratch the lord, and we can't afford to blame the lord at that time."

Su Jingqing didn't react much after listening, just curious about one question, "My lord, doesn't he have long hands, do you want you to dress him?"

Zi Su stood up and replied, "My lord, my lord has never let servants serve me personally."

Hitting Yu Lian directly in the face, Yu Lian's expression turned ugly immediately, and he muttered softly, "You haven't worn it, but it doesn't mean we haven't worn it."

Zisu heard it, and only repeated: "The prince has never asked a servant girl to serve him personally."

Zisu is the big maid in the prince's courtyard, she said no, but she didn't, and Yu Lian would just slap her in the face if she said more.

The nanny gave Yu Lian a wink and retreated, and changed to Yingshuang and stepped forward, "Princess, the prince once said that we are the most capable people in his room. When he comes back... he will give us Uplifted."

I was a little shy when I said it.

"Promotion, what position, pass through the room?" Su Jingqing asked curiously for the second time.

"It's a concubine's room," Yingshuang justified her name. The concubine's room is better than Tong Fang's. She has a reputation and is also the master. Yingshuang said it loudly.

"Oh," Su Jingqing nodded to show that he understood, and then looked at Zisu, "What about you, what promise did the prince give you?"

Zi Su said with a serious look: "The prince has never promised any maids in the courtyard."

Yingshuang was angry, "You don't have one yourself, how do you know we don't either?"

Su Jingqing continued to nod, "It makes sense, then who can prove that you have it?"

The remaining two stood up, and Nanny also took a step forward, wanting to speak.

Su Jingqing changed the posture of propping his head, "It's a pity that the prince is not here, so I can't testify for you. Since you don't want to go to the back kitchen, then go out of the house. If the prince wants to take you as concubines, he will send people to find you when he comes back." , don’t stay in the palace to suffer.”

"Yes, Mammy is very old now, so it happens to be together."

"No, princess, you can't do this!" Nanny's tone was more eager than those three maids.

Su Jingqing raised his eyebrows and gave her time to say the following.

Realizing that she had overreacted, she quickly explained, "I, the old woman means that I am still young, so I can come and serve the princess. The old woman has brought up the prince since she was a child, and she knows the prince's preferences best. Now that the prince is not here, the old woman just happens to be slowly. Tell the princess."

Heh, even moved out Xiao Beihuai's.

Su Jingqing frowned, smiled, and wanted to say - then you must not know that the prince's favorite now is me.

Su Jingqing didn't speak for a long time, which made the nanny flustered, she opened her mouth, and wanted to continue to increase her strength.

"Mommy has worked for the prince for half his life, and he has done a lot of hard work. I don't dare to let mommy serve me. How about this? If mommy doesn't want to go home, she will rest in the king's place first. The three of them, pack up their things and go out of the house, and wait for the prince to come back. to pick you up."

"Okay, let's stop here today and go to work."

After Su Jingqing finished speaking, he got up and entered the room, without giving anyone a chance to bargain with him.

Xiao Beihuai was his man now, and he would be so stupid as to leave three maids who wanted to climb the bed in the house to be an eyesore, he didn't have that big a heart.

"Princess, Concubine!" Someone shouted from behind, Su Jingqing scratched his ears, not wanting to hear it.

"Wangfei, we know we are wrong, please don't drive us away, please forgive us."

As soon as Su Jingqing left, Siyan asked Bai Shu to bring someone over to drag the three maids away.

Seeing that Su Jingqing really wanted to drive them away, the three people who were quite proud were immediately scared.

Didn't it mean that this princess is cowardly and easy to bully? Even if they make trouble, it's just a matter of reprimanding, how did it become to drive people away.

The three struggled and refused to move, some called Wang Hao, while others begged the nanny to intercede for her.

The nanny's face was also not good-looking, and she felt that Su Jingqing was slapping her in the face by chasing people away the first day she entered the house. She had never been wronged like this in the palace.

Nanny rolled her eyes, she was about to speak to Siyan and the others, but Xiangyu blocked her mouth first, "If you feel reluctant, you can go out of the mansion together, don't worry, mama, when the prince returns to the mansion, slaves We will tell the prince where the nanny is going."

The nurse swallowed the words when she came to her lips, so she had no choice but to chase the taken away and tell them.

Xiang Yu reminded her behind her back, "Mommy, to be a servant, you should act like a servant. When you see a princess, you should call yourself a slave."

"The only one in this house who can call me in front of the princess is the prince!"

The nanny paused, didn't respond and didn't look back, probably writing down the account.

Saving a few bounties, Xiangyu simply gave Zisu an extra share, "Miss Zisu, we come out of the palace, and we don't understand many things, please take care of us in the future."

Zisu's attitude was the same as before, "Miss Xiangyu is polite, as a slave and maidservant, they only want to serve their master well. If the princess needs anything, just ask Zisu."

Thanks for the reward, Zisu bowed slightly, and left with Uncle Zhong.
