I am happy to be a mother in a famine year, I have a system to farm the land

He might not have cared so much before, but no one thought that now he would have to go find the Wang family.

The Eighth Prince was also depressed. He relied on the support of civil servants to get to where he is today.

But now, only military generals can help him solve this dilemma.

Thinking of the fights between civil servants and military generals in the court in the past, the Eighth Prince couldn't help but sigh.

It seems that now he can only go to the Wang family. Only when General Wang is on his side will he have a greater chance of winning.

But thinking about the current conflict between him and the Eighth Princess, the Eighth Prince became very upset.

The steward was waiting on the side. Seeing his master's ugly expression, he couldn't help but sigh for him.

"My lord, are you worried about the princess?"

The Eighth Prince also trusted the steward.

I know that the Eighth Prince's Mansion might have been in chaos for so many years without its steward.

"Yes, the princess still refuses to open the door to me because she is sick. I am also very helpless."

Thinking of the rejection he had just received, the Eighth Prince felt a little angry.

But think about the eighth princess’s character, isn’t it still the same?

When he was chasing the Eighth Princess, had he been locked out of the house a few times?

Thinking of this, the anger in the Eighth Prince's heart just now dissipated somewhat.

When the steward heard this, he pursed his lips but did not speak.

Regarding the matter between the prince and the princess, the biggest root cause lies with the prince himself, and it is useless for others to interfere.

The Eighth Prince hadn't heard the steward's voice for a long time, so he couldn't help but glance at him.

"Has the princess been making trouble at home these days?"

The steward was stunned, not expecting the Eighth Prince to ask such a question.

However, he did not hide anything and honestly told what happened in the mansion during this period.

"Your Majesty, the princess has never left the courtyard since she complained of illness."

"but……"

The Eighth Prince glanced at the steward and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it. Why are you hesitating?"

When the steward heard this, he didn't hide it.

"Although the princess has not gone out during this period, Concubine Rong has visited the main courtyard once, but when she came out, all the expenses in the main courtyard were reduced by half."

The Eighth Prince was stunned when he heard the steward's words, "What does it mean to reduce the expenses by half? She is in charge of the business and has also reduced the expenses for herself?"

The Eighth Prince didn't understand why the Eighth Princess did this.

The steward was stunned for a moment when he heard what the Eighth Prince said, and it took him a while to understand what the Eighth Prince meant.

But when he realized something was wrong with this matter, he suddenly panicked.

If it is really as he thought, I am afraid that Concubine Rong...

"what happened to you?"

Seeing that there was something wrong with the steward's expression, the Eighth Prince couldn't help but ask.

He just asked about the princess' expenses, why did the steward look like this.

Although he didn't know what happened, he also realized that something was wrong.

After not waiting for the steward's response for a long time, the Eighth Prince frowned involuntarily.

"What the hell happened?"

When the steward heard this, he immediately knelt on the ground to apologize to the Eighth Prince.

"My lord, this old slave is guilty."

The steward's panicked look suddenly gave the Eighth Prince a somewhat bad premonition.

The steward has been with him for so many years, and he still understands his nature.

If it wasn't a big deal, the steward would definitely not be frightened into such a panic.

After suppressing the uneasy feeling in his heart, the Eighth Prince looked at the steward.

"Tell me what happened."

"Your Majesty, these days I heard that the kitchen always sends some leftovers to the princess's courtyard. If the cost is too little, I'm afraid sometimes they won't even send food."

"Old slave...Old slave has seen that Miss Xia He beside the princess has gone out to buy groceries several times..."

When the eighth prince heard the steward's words, he stood up suddenly.

"What's going on? Those cowards in the kitchen dare to eat the princess's expenses?"

The steward was kneeling on the ground and didn't dare to get up, "Your Majesty, those guys in the kitchen certainly don't dare to treat the princess like this. Yes...yes..."

The Eighth Prince was extremely confused by this matter, and his face turned livid with anger when he saw the steward looking so hesitant.

But he also knew that now was not the time to get angry, so he could only try to control his temper.

"What is it?"

"It's Concubine Rong's order."

The Eighth Prince frowned, "Impossible! How can she, a concubine, get past the princess?"

"My lord, have you forgotten? When Concubine Rong was pregnant, you had already handed over the control of the palace to Concubine Rong."

"The people in the kitchen only dared to be so presumptuous after receiving the order from the nun beside Concubine Rong."

"If this old slave's guess is correct, the princess used her own...dowry these days."

As the steward's words fell, the tea cup in the Eighth Prince's hand hit the ground hard.

He is a majestic prince, but he actually wants his princess to use his dowry to survive.If this matter spreads out, he won't have to lose face.

What's more, he had clearly asked Rong Jiao to return the power of the family to the princess. What is going on now?

The Eighth Prince narrowed his eyes, his eyes filled with gloom that the steward did not dare to look directly into.

"A few months ago, I asked Concubine Rong to return the power of running the family to the princess."

The Eighth Prince's cold words made the steward suddenly raise his head in shock.

"Your Majesty, I did not receive such an order, and Concubine Rong did not convey this news anywhere."

When the Eighth Prince heard this, he clenched his fists tightly and his fingertips turned slightly white.

Thinking that there might be something they didn't know about, the steward felt his breathing quicken.

"Your Majesty, not only the old slave, but also the entire palace has not received this order and does not know about it."

The steward's voice fell, and the entire study became quiet.

The Eighth Prince did not speak, and the steward did not dare to speak rashly.

After a long while, the Eighth Prince said: "Call everyone in the mansion to the main courtyard."

The steward responded and immediately went out to give orders.

Now that the moon is at its zenith, many people are still a little impatient when they are woken up.

"What's going on? Why are you looking for someone in the middle of the night?"

"Oh, I heard it's because of the princess."

Many people slowed down after hearing what happened to the princess.

"She is just an abandoned woman who is about to retire. Do you really think that you are still the master of the Eighth Prince's Mansion?"

"Stop talking so much. The princess is still the princess now. We servants should behave ourselves."

However, some people did not take these words to heart and still wore them slowly.

Seeing that these people could not persuade them, the people around them could only shake their heads and leave in a hurry. Now they only want to protect themselves.
