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

Chapter 43 He Shulan Takes Back the Power of the Family

Boxes of silver were carried out of Li Wanrong's room and placed in front of the old lady. The old lady was reluctant to give away the silver, but she had to compensate the troublemakers: "Mammy, go to the gate and ask those who come to cause trouble to leave their names and register the ransom they paid. After sorting it out, I will have the servants deliver it to their house."

"Yes." Nanny led Taohua and hurried to the gate. She felt a headache when she saw the people who gathered to make trouble. She could have lived a good life relying on the income from the shop in the Prince's Mansion, but Aunt Li insisted on making trouble. Instead of making money, she caused a lot of trouble. "Everyone, please stop making trouble. The old lady has said that the Prince's Mansion will return the ransom you gave to the bandits in full."

When everyone saw that the old lady sent a maid to talk to them, they felt that it was perfunctory: "We don't believe it, we want the money now."

After these words were spoken, the noise became even louder.

The situation got out of control for a while, and the nanny began to get anxious. There were too many people kidnapped this time. If she gave the silver to them now, she would not be able to figure out who was who. "Everyone, please be patient. You may not trust me, a servant, but you must trust the old lady. The Prince's Mansion is here, and you can't run away. The silver will definitely be given to you, don't worry."

After hearing this, everyone gradually quieted down and felt that Mammy's words made some sense: "Okay, we will trust you this time."

The nanny breathed a sigh of relief: "You go to the housekeeper to register your name and pay the ransom, and then the servants will send the money to your house."

Everyone lined up and immediately went to register with the housekeeper.

After finishing the work, it was completely dark. The nanny took the registration book prepared by the housekeeper and walked up to the old lady.

The old lady took the book and opened it. She frowned as she read the lines of names. "How much silver do you have to pay in total?"

The nanny stepped forward and turned to the last page of the booklet: "It has been calculated. The compensation is 20,000 taels of silver."

The old lady's eyes went dark and she almost fainted. This damn Li Wanrong wanted to squander all the money in the Prince's Mansion: "Go and count how much silver you have taken from Li Wanrong." She didn't want to pay for Li Wanrong.

Nanny led Taohua and Chunxia and began to count the silver in the box.

The silver looked like a lot, and it took several people a long time to count it clearly. The total amount was thirty thousand taels.

The old lady was full of disbelief. In such a short time, Li Wanrong had earned so much money, and the restaurant was quite profitable: "It doesn't need the Prince's Mansion to pay for it." She passed through another crisis safely, and she handed the booklet in her hand to He Shulan: "I'll leave this matter to you."

He Shulan did not delay and got the job done, which would leave a good impression on the old lady.

The nanny had finally managed to send those people away. This matter could not be delayed any longer. If it was delayed for too long, those people would probably come and cause trouble again.

He Shulan called the servants in her yard overnight, and they worked all night long, putting the silver in a small wooden box and delivering it to each household according to the address on the booklet.

After receiving the silver, everyone was very satisfied with the efficiency of the Prince's Mansion and stopped making trouble.

A series of events happened one after another in the Prince's Mansion, becoming the topic of conversation among people after dinner.

After He Shulan finished her work and reported to the old lady, she was about to go back to the yard to rest, but the old lady stopped her and said, "Is there anything else?"

"I'm keeping you here for something." The old lady has seen everything He Shulan has done these days, and she is very satisfied: "You have been married into the Prince's Mansion for so long, you should know everything about it. I will make the decision, and you will take over the power of the Prince's Mansion from now on."

The surprise came too suddenly, and He Shulan took a long time to react: "The power of the family is still in Li Wanrong's hands. It would be better to inform the prince."

"Of course I have to inform you. The prince gave the power to Li Wanrong without my consent. Now that you are married into the prince's mansion, the power should be given to you. If you continue to let Li Wanrong manage the prince's mansion, she will eventually destroy it."

With the old lady as He Shulan's backer, she naturally would not delay.

"Old Madam, why did you ask Wanrong and I to come to your courtyard so early in the morning?"

The old lady looked at the Prince and Li Wanrong who came in with dissatisfaction. She didn't beat around the bush and directly said the matter: "I specially asked the servants to call you two here today because I want to discuss the issue of the power of the family. Li Wanrong is just a concubine. It is not appropriate for her to continue to be in charge of the family."

"I think it's quite suitable. Wanrong has been managing it in a tight and orderly manner and nothing went wrong." The prince defended Li Wanrong.

The old lady glared at the prince fiercely: "Don't you understand it now? He Shulan is the princess of the county. The power to run the family should be given to her. Look around the capital city and see which family's power to run the family is held by a concubine."

"What does it matter?" The princess knew very well that this was against the rules, but she was reluctant to let Li Wanrong suffer any injustice.

"Of course it does." The old lady scolded: "I have said it many times, this is not in accordance with the rules." She turned her head and looked at Li Wanrong standing there: "Hand over the key to the warehouse of the Prince's Mansion and the account book."

Li Wanrong naturally refused. She hugged the prince and said, "I will listen to the king."

"You two are trying to piss me off to death." The old lady didn't expect that the two would dare to disobey her: "I am the old lady of the Prince's Mansion. I have the final say in the affairs of the mansion. From today on, the Princess of the County will be in charge of the Prince's Mansion. Anyone who dares not to obey will be punished by the family law."

Seeing that the old lady was so tough, the prince did not dare to confront her and could only ask Li Wanrong to hand over the power of the household.

Li Wanrong was reluctant to give it, but the prince's attitude softened, so she had to give up the power of managing the household: "Later, I will send the key and the account book to the courtyard of the princess."

The old lady's expression became better: "We have finished discussing this matter, let's go!"

……

Back in the courtyard, Chunxia closed the door and almost screamed out in excitement: "That's great, Miss, the power of the household is finally back. From now on, Aunt Li will have to live according to your mood."

"That won't happen. Although Li Wanrong no longer has the power to manage the household, she is still favored by the prince. The servants in the prince's mansion dare not bully her at will." He Shulan replied indifferently.

Chun Xia was unhappy: "This concubine Li is so lucky. If concubines from other families committed such a thing, they would be beaten to death. But in the Prince's Mansion, not only was she not punished, she was also blessed by the Prince."

He Shulan laughed out loud: "With Li Wanrong, nothing is impossible. Now that the power of the family has fallen into my hands, Li Wanrong will be more stable in the future and will not cause any more trouble."
