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

After a night of torment, Li Wanrong hugged the prince with tears in her eyes and asked him to help her find the murderer of the chin bean.

The prince was so annoyed that he ran to the kitchen again and searched for a long time, but still couldn't find it. The matter had to be left unresolved.

Li Wanrong was so angry that she fell ill in bed.

......

He Shulan took the sorted account book and came to the old lady's yard: "This is the account book I took over from Li Wanrong. I have reorganized it. Please take a look."

The old lady smiled and replied: "Since I have given it to you, I naturally trust you. There is no need to deliberately bring the account book to me for review."

"It's just an ordinary account. I will definitely not bother you. You will know when you see it."

The old lady took the account book curiously and looked at it carefully. There was nothing wrong with the other accounts, but Li Wanrong's spending made her furious. She ate and drank better than she did. "I will personally get back the money that Aunt Li spent, and prepare food for Aunt Li according to her share in the future."

With the old lady's permission, He Shulan took the account book and went to the kitchen.

Chun Xia prepared a heavy red envelope for the kitchen servants: "From now on, everyone should report directly to the Princess of the County for kitchen matters."

The servants nodded.

He Shulan took out a small booklet and gave it to Manager Liu: "The expenses of each courtyard in the mansion should be spent according to what I have set."

Steward Liu took the booklet and took a look at it. He Shulan had arranged the kitchen affairs in great detail, and the daily food expenses for each master in the mansion were clearly marked.

If they prepare according to this, they can not only save a lot of money, but they will also be much more relaxed.

He Shulan also increased the food for the servants, not only making sure they were well fed, but also providing meat for every meal, which made Manager Liu very happy: "Thank you, Princess."

The reason why He Shulan gave the servants more food was because most of the servants in the mansion signed a labor contract. If they were too tired to get sick, the Prince's Mansion would have to spend money to hire a doctor, which would cost more money. "You're welcome. The servants do physical work. They have strength only when they are full."

Manager Liu smiled and nodded.

After finishing the work in the kitchen, He Shulan took Chunxia away.

........

The silver moon rose from the horizon, the servants in the mansion lit lanterns, and Xing'er opened the curtain and walked into the room: "Aunt, it's time for dinner."

After a few days of rest, Li Wanrong recovered a lot and decided not to eat in bed. She held Xing'er's hand and walked to the front hall. When she saw the two dishes and one soup on the table, her face suddenly became ugly: "The management of the kitchen is no longer in my hands, and the servants in the kitchen have begun to neglect it. Is this for people to eat?"

Xing'er didn't say anything. The kitchen prepared stewed chicken with mushrooms, stir-fried pork, and pork ribs stewed with yam. Compared with other concubines in the mansion, the food was already very good, but Concubine Li was used to extravagance. These simple meals were not to her liking: "There are rules in the mansion. If you want to eat good food, you have to pay for it yourself."

Li Wanrong's money was taken away by the old lady, so she had no extra money. She was so angry that she overturned the table, and the food was scattered all over the floor. She said to Xing'er, "Tell the servants in the kitchen to prepare new food for me."

"Yes," Xing'er hurried to the kitchen and told Manager Liu what Li Wanrong had said, adding, "You have spent so much time preparing meals for Aunt Li. You know she is picky. Make something good for Aunt Li."

In the past, Manager Liu would have prepared it immediately. But now the kitchen was under the control of the Princess, and she didn't take Li Wanrong's words to heart at all: "The master of the mansion, the daily expenses have been determined, and her meals have been delivered. The kitchen will not redo them."

Xing'er's face turned red with anger. Having been with Aunt Li for so long, the servants in the mansion had to look at her expression. No one dared to retort to her directly in person: "If you don't cook, my aunt will have nothing to eat at night. Do you want her to starve?"

"When it's time for dinner, I asked the kitchen staff to bring the food over. She was the one who was picky and refused to eat. What does her hunger or hunger have to do with me?" After saying that, Manager Liu ignored Xing'er and asked the kitchen servants to work more efficiently.

Xing'er returned to the yard and looked at Li Wanrong, hesitant to speak.

Li Wanrong asked, "What's wrong? Did the people in the kitchen give you a hard time?"

"It's not that I'm embarrassed, but I'm unwilling to prepare new meals for you. Eat some snacks to fill your stomach at night, and wait until dawn to find the princess and let her handle this matter."

Li Wanrong had no place to vent her anger. After she recovered, she wanted to step on the Prince's Mansion, work on her own, earn money, and eat whatever she wanted.

The next day, Li Wanrong woke up because she was hungry. There was simple porridge and three side dishes on the table, which made her very angry. But she was extremely hungry now, so she didn't care about anything else and picked up the porridge on the table and started eating.

After breakfast, Li Wanrong stood at the gate of the Prince's Mansion waiting. It was not until noon that the Prince returned in a carriage.

She hurried forward to lift the curtain, supported the prince, and walked down from the carriage. She asked kindly, "You just finished the morning court session, you must be tired!"

"I'm not tired. I don't have to go to the morning court every day. When there is something happening on the frontier, the emperor will symbolically call me into the palace." The prince held Li Wanrong's hand and said, "Why are you standing at the door waiting for me?"

"It's because the food made by the kitchen in the mansion is not to my liking. I asked them to redo it, but the servants in the kitchen ignored me. I can only come to you to help me seek justice."

Hearing this, the Prince's expression became very serious. He felt that Aunt Li's request was not excessive. Instead, he felt that the servants in the kitchen were becoming more and more rampant and were not even willing to cook a meal for the master: "Come with me to find He Shulan."

This was exactly what Li Wanrong wanted. She hugged the prince's arm and happily came to He Shu's residence. When she learned that He Shulan had gone to the old lady's courtyard, the two of them came to the old lady's courtyard, talking and laughing.

The old lady sitting under the big tree saw Li Wanrong and the prince hugging each other in public and put down the teacup in her hand: "It seems that Aunt Li has not learned the rules very well."

Li Wanrong didn't want to be detained in the yard every day to learn the rules, so she immediately let go of his hand and stood obediently beside the prince.

The old lady glared at the prince and asked, "What's the matter with bringing Aunt Li to see me?"

"I'm not here to see the old lady, but the princess."

He Shulan asked, "Prince, what do you want to see me for?"

Before the prince replied, Aunt Li, who was standing behind him, couldn't wait to say, "Of course it's for my food, He Shulan, you're going too far. Why did you let the kitchen cook such shabby food for me?"

He Shulan's lips curled slightly: "I gave it to you according to the aunt's share. Two dishes and one soup every day, and there is meat for every meal. How can it be shabby?"

"You think it's not shabby if there's meat. I want to eat West Lake carp and braised bear paws."

"Hmph, you are so extravagant. Even the concubines in the palace may not get to eat the bear's paw." The old lady was so angry at Li Wanrong that she was furious.
