Marrying a rich man after rebirth: The daily life of a legitimate daughter

After He Shulan sent the old lady home, she returned to her own courtyard.

When no one was around, Chunxia and Qiudong couldn't help laughing out loud: "I didn't expect Aunt Li to be so stupid. She ran to the kitchen to accuse someone without any evidence. Isn't this slapping herself in the face?"

Qiu Dong continued, "I lost the management of the kitchen even though I failed to gain anything."

He Shulan agreed with the two of them. Li Wanrong was indeed a fool: "Don't put beans in Li Wanrong's food in the future."

"late."

He Shulan and Qiu Dong looked at Chun Xia who was speaking: "What do you mean by that?"

Chunxia spoke in a much lower voice: "When I was in the kitchen, I couldn't stand Aunt Li's arrogance and domineering, so I secretly put croton in the bird's nest she usually ate."

"You girl, it's better to just watch the fun than to do nothing." He Shulan was afraid that Li Wanrong would make trouble again, so she ordered Qiu Dong: "Hurry up and go to the kitchen and take away Li Wanrong's bird's nest."

Qiudong took the order and ran to the kitchen.

……

Li Wanrong returned to the yard angrily. With no place to vent her anger, she could only pick up the expensive vase on the table and smash it on the ground.

The servant who originally wanted to clean up the kitchen had his management rights taken away from him. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he smashed several vases one after another.

Xing Er was very distressed and hurried forward to stop Li Wanrong: "Aunt, don't smash them. The prince spent a lot of money to buy these vases."

At this time, Li Wanrong came to her senses and decided not to smash anything anymore, otherwise she would not be able to report to the prince.

Xing Er brought the bird's nest cooked in the kitchen to Li Wanrong: "Drink some bird's nest to calm down. There are many things to do in the kitchen, and you don't make any money. If you are not allowed to take care of it, then don't worry about it. If you want to eat something in the future, you can buy it outside."

After venting her anger, Li Wanrong calmed down a lot. She felt that Xing'er's words made sense. She angrily took the bird's nest and drank it in one gulp.

The thought of handing the account book to He Shulan gave her a headache. During this period, she had used the money from the Prince's Mansion to buy herself a lot of expensive food. If He Shulan found out, she would be laughed at. So she simply grabbed the account book in her hand and refused to hand it to He Shulan on the grounds of settling the numbers.

At this time, Taohua, the old lady's personal maid, walked to the gate and looked at Li Wanrong coldly: "Auntie Li, the old lady specifically asked me to ask, has the kitchen account book been delivered to the Princess of the County?"

"Uh..." Li Wanrong didn't expect the old lady to send someone to supervise her personally. Now she couldn't even hold her hands and said, "I'll clean up the accounts and hand them over to the princess."

"No need. The princess comes from a noble family. Even if the account book is a mess, she can sort it out. I still have to go back to serve the old lady. Hurry and give me the account book."

Li Wanrong was angry but dared not say anything, so she could only give Taohua the account book that she had not had time to sort out.

Taohua took the account book, ignored Li Wanrong, and left the yard.

This arrogant attitude made Li Wanrong so angry that she almost burst into cursing. She was really like a tiger in plain land being bullied by a dog. Now all the servants in the mansion were riding on her head.

……

Taohua came to He Shulan's yard with the account book. She changed her arrogant look and smiled as she handed the account book to He Shulan: "Princess, the old lady asked me to get the account book from Aunt Li and give it to you. The account book is not very clear, please take the trouble to sort it out."

He Shulan did not answer: "The matter of money must be made clear before taking over. If the accounts are not clear, who will be responsible?"

"Of course I won't hold you responsible. The old lady will go to Aunt Li to find out the money she spent."

Now, He Shulan took it with confidence and grabbed a handful of silver from the cabinet and gave it to Taohua: "Thank you for making this trip. Without the old lady's help, I don't know when I can get the account book."

Taohua said: "You are the princess of the county, the mistress of the county prince's mansion, the old lady will naturally help you."

He Shulan asked Chunxia to send Taohua away.

At this time, Qiu Dong rushed in with a jar in his hand: "The Princess is in trouble. The bird's nest with croton seeds was eaten by Aunt Li."

He Shulan's expression was hard to describe. It was not her fault; it was God's will.

Qiu Dong was very anxious: "What should I do? Aunt Li will make a big fuss again."

"It doesn't matter. She's been making a fuss for a long time anyway." He Shulan looked indifferent. Seeing the jar in Qiu Dong's hand, she asked curiously, "Why did you bring the jar back?"

"Chunxia is too careless. This time she put croton seeds in the jar. I was afraid of getting in trouble with the people in the kitchen, so I brought the jar back secretly."

He Shulan agreed: "This is a great job. Smash the jar and bury it in the back garden to destroy the body and prevent anyone from finding it."

Qiu Dong, who was originally frightened, was amused by He Shulan's words. He took the jar to the back garden and planned to bury it under a big tree.

He Shulan looked through the account book carefully. Although it was messy, she quickly sorted it out.

The amount of silver consumed by the kitchen every month was not a small sum. The one who spent the most money was Li Wanrong. Not only did she wear clothes made of the best fabrics, but even her food was more luxurious than that of the old lady.

Not only were there bird's nests and shark fins, but there were also precious century-old ginseng and tonic donkey-hide gelatin. He Shulan was amazed by what she saw. Li Wanrong was so confident.

She took out a pen and reorganized the account book, sorting out Li Wanrong's expenses separately. She spent at least 4,000 taels of silver a month just on food.

The prince and the old lady’s food was neither extravagant nor cheap.

……

Li Wanrong had just recovered from a day of restlessness. After dinner, she sat in the hall waiting for the prince.

After waiting for nearly two hours, she finally waited for the prince to come back. She immediately ran over and hugged him: "You haven't come to my yard these days."

The prince put his arm around Li Wanrong's waist and said, "I've been busy with official duties these days, so I'll sleep in the study."

Li Wanrong hadn't been intimate with the prince for a long time. She leaned in his arms, shaking gently. The clothes on her shoulders fell down, revealing her white shoulders and charming collarbone.

The prince was so confused and infatuated with what he saw that he picked up Li Wanrong and walked towards the bed.

Suddenly, Li Wanrong's stomach felt a familiar churn. She was so angry that her eyes turned red. She was hit on the chin again.

The prince took off Li Wanrong's gauze coat and put her on the bed. Seeing that she was stiff all over, he asked, "What happened to you?"

"Prince, I cannot serve you tonight."

"Why?" The prince didn't understand why Li Wanrong suddenly changed.

Li Wanrong's stomach churned even more violently: "I don't know who put croton seeds in my food again. I won't be able to sleep tonight." After saying that, she pushed the prince away and ran to the small room behind the bed.

After a while, the room was filled with a foul smell, and the prince couldn't stand it anymore, so he ran to the yard.
