After the marriage, the disabled war king was spoiled by me

A moment later, the butler Li Fu was brought into the room. He had a look of fear on his face and walked hurriedly, obviously aware of the seriousness of the matter.

Du Yunsheng looked at him coldly: "Li Fu, do you admit your guilt?"

Li Fu was so frightened that his legs went limp and he knelt on the ground: "Princess, I...I really don't know what happened. Please have mercy on me."

Du Yunsheng sneered: "You don't know? Well, let me tell you. You framed us and attempted to usurp the throne. This is a capital crime."

Li Fu hurriedly defended himself: "Princess, I am innocent! I have never had such a thought. Please understand clearly, Princess."

At this time, Xu Ruyi walked in with an account book in her hand and said, "Princess, this is the account book I found in the chief steward's room. It records his corruption over the years."

Du Yunsheng took the account book, opened it and looked at it, his face became even colder: "Li Fu, do you have anything else to say?"

Li Fu was trembling and speechless. Du Yunsheng waved his hand and signaled his confidant to take him away. Li Fu struggled and tried to escape, but he was ultimately unable to resist the power of the crowd.

After the interrogation, Du Yunsheng said to Xu Ruyi: "Ruyi, you did a good job. Now, I want you to do something."

Xu Ruyi nodded: "Princess, please give your instructions."

Du Yunsheng said: "Go and notify everyone in the mansion and call an emergency meeting. I want to announce this to everyone."

Xu Ruyi took the order and left. Soon, everyone in Prince Jing's mansion gathered together. Du Yunsheng stood in front of everyone with a serious look on his face: "Everyone, today I want to announce something to everyone. Li Fu, the general manager of our palace, actually framed us and attempted to usurp the throne. Now, I have arrested him and he is waiting for punishment."

When everyone heard this, there was an uproar. Some were angry, some were surprised, and some were confused.

Du Yunsheng continued: "I know everyone has many questions in their hearts, but please believe me, I will give you an explanation. Now, I want everyone to work together to deal with this matter."

Someone in the crowd shouted, "Princess, we believe you!"

Du Yunsheng smiled slightly, with a hint of gratitude in his eyes: "Thank you all for your trust. Next, we must strengthen the defense of the palace to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos. At the same time, I will re-select a reliable housekeeper to ensure the peace of the palace."

Everyone expressed their agreement and the atmosphere gradually returned to calm.

"Princess, don't worry. I will send people to closely monitor the movements inside and outside the mansion and will not allow any unstable factors to take advantage of the situation." Xu Ruyi said in a deep voice.

Du Yunsheng nodded gently, with a hint of determination in his eyes: "Ruyi, I know you have been working hard. But this time is different, we must be more cautious. You go and make the arrangements first, and I will personally inquire about it later."

After a while, a maid walked in quietly and whispered, "Princess, the selection of housekeepers has been arranged. There are three candidates, Li Cheng, Wang Gang and Zhao Yi."

Du Yunsheng nodded slightly and said, "Tell them to come see me this afternoon. I want to interview them in person."

In the afternoon, the three candidates entered the study one after another. Du Yunsheng sat in the main seat with a serious expression.

Li Cheng took the lead and confidently stated his management philosophy: "Princess, I have served as the chief steward of the Eastern Palace and I am well versed in the management of the palace. If I can serve as the steward of Prince Jing's palace, I will do my best to ensure the peace of the palace."

Du Yunsheng nodded slightly and asked again: "How do you ensure the safety of the palace?"

Li Cheng pondered for a moment and said, "I will increase patrols, add secret guards, and strengthen the management of servants to prevent collusion between insiders and outsiders."

Next was Wang Gang. He seemed a little nervous, but his tone was sincere: "Princess, although I have never been a butler, I have always been a minor official in the palace and I know the operation of the palace very well. If I can serve as a butler, I will do my best and live up to your trust."

Du Yunsheng asked: "What do you think is the most important area that needs improvement in the palace?"

Wang Gang thought for a moment and replied, "Princess, although the palace is currently well-defended, there are still some loopholes in its internal management. If we can strengthen internal management, I believe the palace's security will be more secure."

Finally, it was Zhao Yi who seemed calm and said, "Princess, I have served as a steward in other palaces before, and I know the heavy responsibility of a steward. If I can serve as the steward of Prince Jing's Palace, I will be strict with myself and ensure the peace of the palace."

Du Yunsheng asked: "How do you deal with the conflicts within the palace?"

Zhao Yi replied: "Princess, I think we should seek peace and try to resolve the conflict. If the conflict cannot be resolved, I will report to you and you will decide."

After listening to this, Du Yunsheng pondered for a moment and said, "All three candidates have their own merits, but considering all factors, I think Zhao Yi is more suitable to be the steward of Prince Jing's Mansion. You can leave now."

The three candidates left the study, and Du Yunsheng said to Xu Ruyi, "Ruyi, you go and supervise Zhao Yi's appointment in person to make sure he is competent."

That night, a grand dinner was held in Prince Jing's mansion to celebrate the appointment of the new housekeeper. Du Yunsheng sat in the main seat, looking happy. Xu Ruyi, Zhao Yi and others sat on both sides in a harmonious atmosphere.

Xu Ruyi sat on the left side of Du Yunsheng, wearing a gorgeous purple robe, looking noble and elegant. She took a sip of wine, her eyes showing her appreciation for Zhao Yi. Zhao Yi sat on the right side, wearing a dark green robe, looking calm and restrained. He had a firm gaze and exchanged glances with Du Yunsheng from time to time.

Du Yunsheng clapped his hands gently and said with a smile: "Today Zhao Yi takes office. My Jingwang Mansion has gained another capable assistant. It is really a cause for celebration. Zhao Yi, do you know why I chose you?"

Zhao Yi stood up and bowed slightly, with a humble look on his face: "Princess, I am honored to have this important task. I don't know why you chose me."

Du Yunsheng's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and he smiled and said, "Because you have firm beliefs and a loyal heart. I need someone who can help me consolidate the position of Prince Jing's Mansion, and you are the best candidate."

Xu Ruyi smiled slightly and interrupted, "The princess's vision is indeed unique. Zhao Yi, you must not disappoint the princess's expectations."

Zhao Yi nodded seriously: "Don't worry, Miss Xu, Zhao Yi will do his best to serve the Prince Jing's Mansion."

Du Yunsheng's eyes flashed with satisfaction. He turned to look at Xu Ruyi and asked, "Ruyi, what do you think of Zhao Yi?"

Xu Ruyi nodded slightly and said softly, "Zhao Yi is calm and reliable, and a trustworthy person. I believe he will bring new atmosphere to Prince Jing's Mansion."

Du Yunsheng smiled softly and turned to Zhao Yi: "Zhao Yi, do you know why I think so highly of you?"

Zhao Yi shook his head: "Princess, Zhao Yi is not aware of this."

Du Yunsheng's eyes flashed with cunning, and he said, "Because you and I have similar experiences. We have both experienced hardships and longed to gain the trust of others. I believe you can understand my feelings."

Halfway through the dinner, Du Yunsheng suddenly made a suggestion: "How about we play a game?"

Xu Ruyi and Zhao Yi were a little surprised, but soon understood Du Yunsheng's intention. They nodded and expressed their willingness to participate.
