The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Although Yun Mujiu was very hungry, he didn't dare to eat too much as he hadn't eaten for a day. He stopped eating when he was 70% full.

Her eyebrows were curved and there was a hint of joy on her face.

Three knocks on the door were heard.

Yun Mujiu swallowed the water in his mouth, immediately adjusted his expression, and said calmly: "Please come in."

An old man with a thin figure and a solemn face walked over calmly, followed by four maids who had lowered their brows and were dressed very ordinary.

The old man saw Yun Mujiu sitting at the table with his hair loose and a large black birthmark on his face, but his expression remained unchanged. He walked forward and bowed seriously: "My name is Zeng Ming, the butler of the Ye Palace. I am here to meet the princess."

The housekeeper of the Ye Mansion calls me princess?

Although her current contract with Ye Xiaohan is still very unstable, no matter what, the Ye family is willing to give face to her, the princess, which will make her life a little better in the future.

Yun Mujiu smiled and raised her slender hand: "No need to be polite."

Housekeeper Zeng stood up quickly and turned to introduce the maids behind him: "Princess, these are the maids sent by the prince to serve you. They will take care of your daily life from now on. If you need anything, just tell them."

Yun Mujiu glanced casually at the four maids. He had just taken a quick look at them and everything seemed normal. Now he found that the maids all had ordinary looks and did not seem to have any internal strength or martial arts.

She also knew in her heart that these four maids were definitely not here to simply serve her, but to supervise and guard her. After all, she was a newcomer to the mansion, and her mother's family was still the Yun Mansion. It was impossible for the people in the Ye Mansion to accept and trust her easily.

As for the maids and male servants sent by Ye, they were even more unreliable. She had to know that she had suffered a lot in the Yun Mansion since she was a child. If she believed these people in the Yun Mansion who had ulterior motives, she would be in trouble! The Yun Mansion wanted her life more than other outsiders.

Yun Mujiu nodded: "Thank you, housekeeper Zeng."

Zeng's pupils suddenly dilated. Wasn't it said that the eldest daughter of the Yun family was unruly and had no manners? How come the current eldest daughter of the Yun family, the Princess of the Night King, was so graceful in her words and actions?

He subconsciously wanted to look up at Yun Mujiu, but he caught a glimpse of Yun Mujiu. Although he had a faint smile on his face, his expression was cold and his eyes were dark and deep, making it difficult to guess what he was thinking.

The wily old housekeeper Zeng lowered his head again in fear to hide his surprise.

He has been dealing with all kinds of people for many years, and his intuition tells him that this princess is definitely not as simple as she seems.

"Princess, the prince asked me to ask you how to deal with the servants brought from the Yun Mansion?"

"Throw them all back to the Yun Mansion tomorrow, along with the indentures, and say that the servants that the Yun Mansion provided for their daughters to get married are unruly and arrogant, looking down on others, and repeatedly committing crimes. Let the Yun Mansion discipline them properly." Yun Mujiu blurted out the solution without thinking.

Prime Minister Yun and Ye Shi would not let her and Ye Xiaohan get away with it so easily. Besides, these servants had been disrespectful to her from the beginning to the end, so they would not be easy to deal with.

Instead of letting them stay around like a time bomb, it is better to throw them directly to the Yun Mansion and let them deal with it. At the same time, it can also expose the ugly deeds of the Yun Mansion bullying the eldest daughter, deliberately arranging a dowry of a slave, and taking the opportunity to bully the master.

Kill three birds with one stone, why not?

Butler Zeng frowned when he heard this. Those women who had evil intentions and wanted to entangle the prince were killed by the prince's men before they could get close to him.

Although the prince did not take the princess seriously, he did not send anyone to suppress or kill her, and even sent maids to serve her. The princess had a falling out with the Yun family just after entering the palace, which might not be good for her own situation?

Housekeeper Zeng had a good impression of Yun Mujiu when he first met her, so he kindly reminded her, "Princess, they are servants arranged for you by the Yun Mansion. Will this affect your relationship with your natal family?"

Yun Mujiu's eyes showed no trace of emotion, and he waved his hands and said, "It's okay. Since the Yun Mansion deliberately arranged a tricky servant, I will naturally not tolerate it."

Although Ye gave her the indenture contract for the sake of appearance, it was only a one-year contract, and the death contract was still in Yun Mansion. The servants would still listen to Ye.

Now that Yun Mujiu has chosen to sign a contract with Ye Xiaohan, she will definitely not be a fence-sitter and make herself unpopular with both sides. She must make a decisive decision and make it thorough.

Yun Mujiu's originally cold eyes were also tinged with anger and hatred: "Not only should we send those servants back, but we should also send them back in a grand and ostentatious manner, so that the people in the capital can see how the Yun Mansion trains servants and how they cheat their daughter!"

When Butler Zeng saw her expression and determination, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: It seems that the Yun family has not been as good to the eldest daughter over the years as rumored, which has led to the incompatible relationship between the princess and the Yun family!

Seeing that Yun Mujiu had made up his mind, he said nothing more, respectfully took his leave and left.

Yun Mujiu turned around and looked at the four maids who had been standing quietly with their heads down, and asked, "What are your names?"

The four maids all raised their heads at the same time when they heard the voice. Their eyes were sincere and clear, without a trace of calculation or hostility. They shook their heads and said, "Reporting to the princess, we don't have names yet. Please give us names."

They haven't even been named yet?

Yun Mujiu thought that the maid sent by Ye Xiaohan should have been a servant of the palace for many years, and should have a name. Unexpectedly, the maid sent by the Ye Mansion still needed a name from the new master.

Yun Mujiu thought for a few seconds and looked at the four maids lined up from left to right in front of him:

A man with an oval face, a high nose bridge, and a steady and firm look in his eyes.

A man with a long and thin face, a medium-high nose bridge, and sincere and friendly eyes.

A girl with a round face, a small nose and some freckles on the sides of her cheeks.

The last one has a round face, a flat nose and pure and clear eyes.

Yun Mujiu pointed at the four maids one by one, and then you should call them: "Chunlan, Xiahe, Qiutang, and Dongyu."

The four of them thanked in unison, "Yes, thank you, Princess!"

"Clean the table and the floor first, and bring me some hot water so I can take a shower."

There were still fragments of the teacup that Yun Mujiu had used to hit people on the ground, as well as some faint bloodstains.

"Okay, Princess." Then the four maids divided the work among themselves in an orderly manner, finished the cleaning immediately, and brought a lot of hot water.

Yun Mujiu secretly admired in his heart that the people in the Night Palace were pretty good! They had a correct attitude, clear division of labor, and worked efficiently, far surpassing the arrogant and lazy servants in the Yun Mansion.

However, Yun Mujiu did not ask them to take care of her, let alone help her bathe. With her modern mindset, she really could not accept such service. She could do things like undressing and bathing by herself alone.

After Butler Zeng left, he went to the study to meet Ye Xiaohan and told him everything about Yun Mujiu's plan to dismiss the dowry servants in the Yun mansion.

Although Yun Mujiu is the princess, the Ye Mansion is headed by the prince. She still has to consult the prince on such matters, and the prince will make the final decision.

"My Lord, what do you think we should do?"

Ye Xiaohan recalled the scene in his mind where Yun Mujiu had just taught the maid a lesson in a cold and domineering manner in the bridal chamber. But after seeing him, his expression immediately changed to a good one. He was really adaptable.

His face was still as cold as before, but he said directly: "Do as she says."

He who knows the times is a hero. It seems that Yun Mujiu is a smart person who knows how to put himself in the right position.
