The uninhibited concubine who loves his wife

Chapter 131 Beat Her Until She Didn't Know Her Mother (2)
"Blood Shadow, go elsewhere to see what you need to do, leave it to me here, and I'll cook for you tonight."

Xueying froze for a moment, said nothing, turned and left after cleaning his hands.

The two kitchens are not far apart, and the other kitchen used by servants is on the opposite side.

At this time, the butler who happened to be in charge of the purchase came with his servants and directed the fresh ingredients to be transported to the kitchen used by the people.

At first, Bai Xinran didn't pay attention, and was busy washing and cleaning the vegetables.But when she heard an extremely strange voice, she curiously put down the things in her hand, walked out of the kitchen door and looked across.

It can be said that she is the most free person in the main courtyard of Chengwang Mansion, but for other people, the rules of the main courtyard are very harsh and strict, not everyone can appear here, even if it is a chamberpot pourer specially designated person.

In the main courtyard, there are more guards, plus the servants who work, the amount of food they eat every day is relatively large.Unlike Yan Moyu's special kitchen, there are only some refined and expensive ingredients in it, which can be said to be special ingredients.

Not far away, a tall, thin and somewhat dark man was instructing the servants to do things.The man was dressed as a butler, in his forties, he spoke sharply, and his expression was serious, making him seem quite shrewd and capable.

"Xueying, who is that person? Why haven't I seen it before? Isn't Uncle Dong in charge of the procurement of the main courtyard? When did you change?"

Although she seldom went in and out of the kitchen after marrying into Prince Cheng's mansion, and she didn't ask about the affairs of Prince Cheng's mansion, but she still knew the people in the main courtyard.For example, Uncle Dong, who was in charge of purchasing in the main yard, was quite honest and had a naive temperament. Even when she was pretending to be deaf and dumb, Uncle Dong would bow down and salute when he saw her from a long distance.

So much so that she had a pretty good impression of Uncle Dong.

Now that she has changed to someone else, she is somewhat uncomfortable.

Xue Ying followed Bai Xinran's line of sight and looked over expressionlessly, and replied: "Princess, he is the new housekeeper in the house, his surname is Sheng Mingsheng."

Holy monk?

The corner of Bai Xinran's mouth twitched.Why don't you call me Brother Yudi?
"You're so old, why would you come to us and sell yourself as a slave?" In order to better control the subordinates, Chengwang's mansion hardly hired any long-term workers, but everyone who came to Chengwang's mansion to do things signed a contract .

"Princess, I heard that he used to be a businessman. Due to his family's decline, he was heavily in debt abroad. As a last resort, he came to the mansion as a slave." Xue Ying truthfully explained the background of Sheng Sheng.

Bai Xinran raised her eyebrows: "According to this, Cheng Wang's Mansion helped him pay back a lot of money when he bought him into the mansion?"

Xueying replied: "The personnel affairs in the mansion are all in charge of the old lady, the little ones don't know."

Bai Xinran was a little puzzled: "This old woman is so kind? Oh, by the way, where is Uncle Dong? Where did he go? The main courtyard has changed, does the prince know?"

Xue Ying replied: "The old lady transferred Uncle Dong to the backyard to guard the vegetable garden. The prince doesn't know what happened this morning."

"What?" Bai Xinran stared at Xueying, "Transferred Uncle Dong to guard the vegetable garden? Who the hell did it? Old lady?"

"Back to the princess, yes." Xueying is considered the most honest person, he must answer every question, and every answer must be true.

Bai Xinran frowned and looked at the middle-aged man named 'Holy Monk', perhaps because of the shrewd look on that 'Holy Monk', which made her more disgusted the more she looked at it.

What annoyed her the most was that the old woman actually transferred the honest and hard-working Uncle Dong to the backyard!

In the field she opened up in the backyard, it is true that a lot of things have been planted, but even if it is necessary to guard it, it is enough to tie a big wolf dog directly. Besides, this is Chengwang Mansion, not to mention that those things have not grown yet, even if they grow. Who dares to steal?Unless that person has a pomegranate head!
Bai Xinran was silent for a moment, and finally understood.These seemingly insignificant things were actually done on purpose by the Qiu family.

I just want to tell her that her old man is the biggest in this house.

Looking at the servants who were busy on the opposite side, Bai Xinran suddenly lost the mood and stayed in the kitchen. Naturally, the cooking of dinner was handed over to Xueying.And she went to the backyard a little angrily——

In the field in the backyard, I saw Uncle Dong.This old man with gray temples was sitting under a tree at the moment, listless, as if he had lost his soul.

"Uncle Dong." Walking over, Bai Xinran called out in a warm voice.

As soon as someone called him, Uncle Dong raised his head subconsciously, and seeing that it was Bai Xinran, he hurriedly supported the tree trunk to stand up and bowed to her: "Princess, you, why are you here?"

Bai Xinran smiled at him, pretending that she didn't know anything: "I'm bored, so I just came over to take a look, I didn't expect you to be here."

"Princess..." Uncle Dong's complexion was obviously not very good, especially the tightly wrinkled brows, which could tell at a glance that there was something on his mind.

Seeing him hesitant to speak, Bai Xinran didn't urge her, instead she waited for him to speak with a smile.

Uncle Dong opened his mouth several times, and finally said, "Princess, I'm afraid I won't be able to serve you and the lord in the future..."

"Why? What happened?" Bai Xinran followed his words and asked.

"The old lady said that there are many complicated affairs in the main courtyard. She said that the younger one is too old to work in the main courtyard. She said that the younger one should live in the backyard for the elderly."

Bai Xinran nodded with a smile: "It seems that the old lady is quite concerned about you, and this is all planned for your retirement."

"Princess..." Hearing Bai Xinran's praise, Uncle Dong was not happy at all, but frowned his gray brows even tighter, and looked at Bai Xinran with pity, "Princess, the little one still has something to say." With strength, you can still do things for the prince and you."

Seeing his distress, Bai Xinran felt uncomfortable, so she put away her smile, patted him on the shoulder suddenly, and said seriously: "Uncle Dong, I heard that you have been in the main courtyard for nearly ten years. Yes. For your performance and loyalty on weekdays, the prince must be aware of it, so he has never changed people. I also appreciate your character. Since the old lady wants you to take care of her, she is willing to pay for you. You can retire with peace of mind, this is the reward you deserve for years of devotion to Chengwang Mansion."

"Princess..." Uncle Dong's eyes showed anxiety, obviously disapproving of what Bai Xinran said.He is just a servant who is a slave, not to mention that he is eligible for retirement, even if he is exhausted, that is what he deserves.The old lady spoke nicely, but he knew very well that it was obvious that the old lady despised him as useless and wanted to dismiss him.

He is not reconciled, obviously he can still work, how can he eat and die here?
Bai Xinran raised her hand and interrupted what he wanted to say: "Uncle Dong, I know what you want to say, don't worry, just listen to me. In fact, I agree with the old lady letting you take care of the elderly. I am not It is useless to say that you are so old, and you have worked hard all your life, so it is only natural to find a place to live for the rest of your life. But..."
