Chapter 5 Internal Reorganization
When Xia Zhi returned to Duanwang Mansion, he saw the butler Zhang Xiu approaching him, and walked over without stopping when he saw him coming.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiu immediately followed behind him with a respectful face, and said in a low voice, "The prince is back, and Concubine Yao is making a fuss! I want to ask the prince to comment, go and have a look!"

Concubine Yao is making such a fuss, and the prince is not here, but it is hard for us servants.

Xia Zhi entered the main hall, sat down on the seat, took the tea brought by the maid, took a sip, and asked: "Tell me, what's going on?"

Zhang Xiu explained everything that happened today.

This morning Jiuyuan called all the stewards of the Wangfu, and took out last year's accounts, saying that he had read last year's accounts and found that the expenditure of the Wangfu last year was too huge. balance of payments.

The monthly salary of maids and servants is reduced by [-]%, the monthly salary of mothers and sons is reduced by [-]%, and the expenses of each house are halved.

After Yao Fangfei heard about it, she went to Duanfangzhai to make trouble, and was punished by the princess for disrespecting the mistress and acting frivolously for a full month, and copied the "Women's Precepts" ten times.

This punishment may be nothing to others, but to Concubine Yao, it is an old crime.

Concubine Yao is extroverted and flamboyant. To put it simply, she has a heart but no brains.This time punishing her for copying [Female Precepts] is a small punishment and a big warning, and it is also a reminder to her not to be always used as a gun.

"What action can Concubine Wan Fang do?" Xia Zhi asked.

"Never." Speaking of this, he glanced at Xia Zhi, and then said: "Wangfei also said that even the prince is the one who spends the most on your expenses, and you also... have to reduce by [-]%."

After speaking, he quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at him.

Xia Zhi's expression paused, although he knew that she would not sit still and would definitely make a move, but he didn't know what she would do.

In fact, I was also very curious about how she would respond, but I didn't expect her to do this, and I was no exception, so I was being angered.

"Do the opposite, wonderful!" Xia Zhi muttered to himself, it would be better if he also removed himself, that's right, Shang Jiuyuan's own expenses have not been reduced.

"My lord?!" Zhang Xiu yelled suspiciously, seeing that Xia Zhi was not only not angry, but also in a good mood.

"Haha. Go ahead and tell them to do what the princess says. What the princess means is what I mean. If anyone is dissatisfied, let him come to me." After speaking, he waved his hand and let the embroidery go on.

Zhang Xiu knew that Princess Duan did not have any place in the heart of Prince Duan as rumored outside; on the contrary, everything in Prince Duan's mansion was presided over by her, the prince never intervened, and would give support when encountering problems .

At this time, almost everyone in Prince Duan's mansion knew about this matter, and there were many discussions and complaints, all saying that what was said outside was indeed true, and that Princess Duan was harsh on being a concubine.

At this time, someone wanted to ask, why didn't it happen before, and once such a word spread outside, did this thing really happen in the palace later?
At this time, someone said again, I know a person who works next to Miss Chaxiang, she heard from Miss Chaxiang that it was because someone in the mansion spread rumors outside, which made the princess angry.You want to!If it wasn't for someone in the mansion spreading rumors outside, how would outsiders know what was going on in the mansion.

Immediately someone went on to say, aren't we just punishing this person?

yes!It's best not to let me catch who did it. If I catch him, he must smash his mouth to see if he dares to talk nonsense.For a moment, everyone was filled with righteous indignation and scolded the person who spread the rumor.

In the Qinghe Zhai, Concubine Wan Fang was sitting in front of the hall, listening to the servant girl's report on the situation outside.

Hearing the servant girl mentioning that Concubine Yao was imprisoned by Shang Jiuyuan for a month, she said contemptuously: "This stupid woman has more success than failure."

He just said a few words casually in front of her, and she ran to Shang Jiuyuan in a hurry to make trouble.

"How did the people in the mansion react when they heard this?" Consort Wan asked.

"The servant girl went out and said what the master said, but..." The servant girl hesitated and dared not continue.

"Just what? Say." The tone was fierce.

The servant girl trembled in fright, and continued nervously.

Concubine Wan Fang became more and more annoyed as she listened, she clenched her hand vigorously, her nails digging deeply into her palm.Originally thought that this matter could be used to make Shang Jiuyuan lose the hearts of the princes, but unexpectedly it fell short.

Seeing her like this, the nanny at the side stepped forward to break her hand away with great distress, and said: "Miss, don't be angry, this time it won't work, there will be another time, don't get angry."

"That's right, there will be another time. Next time, let's see if you can escape."

After speaking, he grabbed the nurse's hand with both hands and said, "Nurse, I am not reconciled!"

She was originally the daughter of an aristocrat, but was overwhelmed by a merchant's daughter!
"Miss!" The nanny looked at her distressedly. This is my eldest child. How can I not feel distressed? Thinking of the carefree young lady in the Duke Huguo's mansion back then, who has become like this now, I feel even more distressed when I think of it. Like a knife twisting.

In Duanfangzhai, Tan Se was chattering about the outside affairs, suddenly paused, and asked in embarrassment: "Miss, are you listening to me?"

"Huh? Yes!" Jiu Yuan replied in awe.

"." You are so obviously distracted, you think I am blind!
"What did Miss just think of?" Cha Yi asked with a smile.

"Oh, I was just thinking about the prince's reaction." Jiu Yuan tilted his head slightly and said with a smile.

"My lord didn't respond." Tan Se asked suspiciously.

"." It's just strange that there is no response, what about the imaginary rage?

I have cut off half of his money, but he has a whole camp of hidden guards to support, and I heard that it is because the emperor is too poor to support him, so he gave all these people to Duan Wang.

Shouldn't he come to Duanfangzhai now to have a big fight with himself, and then angrily divorce his wife?How could he not follow the script! ! !
"Isn't it okay for the prince to support you so much! This shows that the prince still cares about you." Tan Se said angrily.

I just can't figure it out, isn't it good to be in Prince Duan's Mansion? Why do you always want to leave here? If the master is still there, there is someone to rely on when you go out.

Now Miss is alone and helpless, where can she go?

"You are sure the prince cares about me."

"We never talk more than ten sentences when we meet."

"He never comes to my Duanfangzhai."

"None of us had dinner together."

"." You are sure you are not blaming the prince, Tan Se and Cha Yi looked at her together.

This sounded a bit like a resentful woman, so she concluded: "I just want to prove that he doesn't care about me at all."
