The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 35: All together

This was the scene that Nian Shilan saw when Jiang Fuhai invited her to Xingfuyuan.

Yu Luo was kneeling on the ground, shaking like a sieve. Beside her was kneeling a man who looked like a cook. Nian Shilan guessed that it must be Li Dafu, the kitchen manager.

Li Dafu didn't show any fear and seemed quite proud of himself.

Nian Shilan paid his respects to Ulanara and stood aside.

Ulanara asked Yuluo, "Did you really do what Manager Li said?"

Yu Luo lowered her head, trembling, and dared not answer.

Li Dafu couldn't help but said, "Come on, you are quite arrogant. Now that the mistress is asking you, why are you silent?!"

"How dare you! The master didn't ask you anything, why are you interrupting?"

Jiang Fuhai scolded Li Dafu.

Li Dafu shrank back in fear, and immediately lowered his head, not daring to raise it again.

Nian Shilan raised her hand to stroke her hair and spoke with a smile.

"Fujin, could you please let me first understand what these two servants have done wrong? I am standing here completely confused."

Ulanara gestured to Jiang Fuhai: "You tell it. Tell Concubine in detail."

Jiang Fuhai then told the whole story.

Nian Shilan smiled and said, "It seems that I have nothing to do here. But since Fu Jin has summoned me here, I will take a look here."

Ulanara raised her eyes and looked at Nian Shilan, who was wearing a light blue embroidered Manchu dress today.

Her hair is decorated with beads of the same color as hers, and her ears are decorated with a pair of delicate gemstone earrings. She looks young and cute, yet luxurious and elegant.

Ulanara's eyes dimmed for a moment, but she quickly collected her emotions, forced a smile on her face, and said to Nian Shilan.

"I asked my sister to come here so that she can watch over me and learn the skills of a housekeeper. If I am not feeling well in the future, I can also ask my sister to help with the trivial matters in the mansion."

After hearing this, Nian Shilan rolled her eyes and complained secretly.

How long will you have to wait until you feel unwell? I see you are in good health every day, otherwise how can you have the leisure to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers.

After Nian Shilan finished complaining in her heart, she still had a cute smile on her face.

"Madam, you are worrying too much. You are the mistress of this palace, so you are naturally blessed with good fortune and a long life. I am a lazy and idle person. Even if I want to take care of the affairs of this palace, I am afraid I am unable to do so."

What a joke! It turns out that they called me here today just to let me come up with some ideas that will offend people.

Nian Shilan began to complain in her heart again.

Yu Luo knelt on the ground, not knowing what her fate would be. She regretted so much that she wanted to die. She silently prayed to the gods of heaven and earth, and worshipped all the gods and bodhisattvas she had heard of in her heart.

Ulanara's expression remained unchanged and she was still smiling.

"To be honest, today's incident was caused by my sister. If this servant hadn't kicked over the basket of crabs that the master had taken the trouble to find for my sister to make crab cakes, I don't think Manager Li would have complained to the housekeeper."

Nian Shilan was shocked for a moment and couldn't help wondering, did Ulanara take the wrong medicine today?
Could it be that the quarrel among the servants was caused by her?

Before Nian Shilan could open her mouth to mock Fu Jin, she asked why the whole basket of crabs was supposed to be hers, as she also loved crab roe.

A young eunuch reported that the master had returned and had heard about what happened in Xingfuyuan and had come here.

As soon as Ulanara stood up, Yinzhen strode in.

Immediately, a young eunuch came out with a chair.

Everyone in the yard knelt on the ground. Yinzhen raised his hand and said, "No thanks."

Yinzhen looked up at Nian Shilan, who was dressed in aqua blue.

Then he turned around and asked Ulanara: "What's going on? Why is there such a big scene today?"

Ulanara said, "It was this ignorant servant who fought for food and drink and didn't follow the rules. He refused to pay the kitchen for things that exceeded his quota. So he kicked over the basket of crabs that the master had taken great pains to find to vent his anger. Master, please decide how to deal with him."

After hearing this, Nian Shilan already wanted to start stabbing vampires in her heart. It seemed that the person who took the wrong medicine just now was not Ulanara. Why didn't she mention that the dispute was caused by her, Nian Shilan?

"You are the mistress in charge of the backyard. You can decide what to do with such a stubborn servant."

Yinzhen didn't seem angry. He took the fragrant tea that Su Peisheng brought and drank it sip by sip.

"But I also heard that Manager Li made disrespectful remarks and made Hu Gege faint. This..."

Ulanara hesitated.

"Deal with them all at once." Yinzhen said calmly.

"My servant is innocent, my servant is innocent, my master! My servant did not say anything bad. Everyone in the kitchen is a witness! My master, please look into this matter!"

When Li Dafu heard that he was going to be punished, he didn't care about anything else and immediately cried out that he was wronged.

Yinzhen put down his teacup and said, "Since you are crying out for injustice, I have nothing to do today. Su Peisheng, call the kitchen servants."

Su Peisheng took the order and immediately sent someone to call everyone in the kitchen.

When everyone in the kitchen heard that the prince had summoned them, they trotted over to see him.

Once again, the whole yard was filled with people kneeling.
