Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

After figuring this out, Zuo Xin hurriedly spoke.

"Don't worry, sisters. I will do my best to manage Prince Chan's Mansion in the future and will never let my husband and grandpa and grandma worry about this family."

"Well! I believe you, but you must remember that all the maids and servants in the mansion are the prince's people. Your husband's every move is always being watched by them. Starting tomorrow, you have to find a way to manage them well." Ouyang Wan'er reminded.

Zuo Xin sneered and said, "Humph! It seems I have to ask my family for more dowry."

"Sister, what do you mean?" Ouyang Wan'er asked.

"Sister, don't worry about it. Just go and do your thing. Leave it to me from now on. Just watch how I can help my husband deal with the prince." Zuo Xin said, patting her chest.

Ouyang Wan'er wiped the tears from her face with peace of mind, said goodbye to Zuo Xin and left.

After she left, Zuo Xin went to bed without disturbing Gu Chan. She was only thinking about one thing, that is, she would be the principal wife of Prince Chan's Mansion from now on, and she must help her husband.

That night, Ouyang Wan'er and Ziyue led the maids and servants and worked until after midnight, when they went back to their rooms to rest.

Early the next morning, under the supervision of the housekeeper, the two had to say goodbye to Gu Chan and leave in the palace sedan.

Not long after they left, Zuo Xin sent her personal maid to secretly return to the general's mansion to ask for the dowry.

After breakfast in the morning, Zuo Xin asked the servants to bring a long table and place it in the yard outside. Then she sat behind the table and started to calculate the accounts with the account book in her hand.

At the same time, all the maids and servants in the mansion stood in rows in front of her as she instructed.

Zhang Wanshan and Ding Meihua were sitting in the lobby at the back, looking confused, not understanding at all what she was trying to do.

At this time, Gu Chan also came over and asked, "What are you doing so early in the morning?"

"Your Highness, we don't know either! It was the Third Madam who told us not to work and to just stand here and wait." The butler standing in the front said with a bitter face.

Gu Chan walked up to Zuo Xin and said, "Madam, what are you doing?"

"Husband, don't worry about it. Just go sit in the lobby and have breakfast. Leave this to me." Zuo Xin said with a sly smile.

After saying that, she stood up and pushed Gu Chan into the lobby at the back. Then she sat back down at the long desk and continued to calculate the bill with her head down.

Gu Chan sat at the table, eating breakfast while staring at Zhang Wanshan and said, "Grandpa, what happened?"

"We don't know either! She did this right after breakfast this morning. We don't know what she wants."

"Yes! As the saying goes, a new official starts with three things to do. It seems that this is also the case with her, the third wife. She is going to start with this first thing after getting married."

Zhang Wanshan and Ding Meihua spread their hands and said.

The truth is that they didn't understand what Zuo Xin was trying to do.

Gu Chan grinned, ignored it, and continued to eat her breakfast.

After a while, Zuo Xin finally finished the account, looked up at the butler standing in the front and said, "Butler, you have been in Prince Chan's mansion for a total of thirteen days. According to the wages in Kyoto, I will give you one tael of silver per day, a total of thirteen taels of silver. I am not a stingy person, so I will give you two more taels, so I will pay you fifteen taels of silver. I think this is not unfair to you, right?"

"Madam Third, what do you mean? Aren't wages paid at the end of each month? Why are you paying it to me now?" the housekeeper asked in confusion.

"It's like this. From now on, I have the final say in Prince Chan's Mansion. You and these maids and servants will be of no use. After all, there are dozens of maids and servants in the dowry my parents gave me! So I can only use them. As for you! I can only say sorry and ask you to leave here and make a living on your own." Zuo Xin said seriously.

The housekeeper and the maids and servants were stunned when they heard what they heard. They were all dumbfounded and could not believe their ears.

Looking at this huge capital, who doesn't know that they are sent by the prince! Even Gu Chan didn't dare to dismiss them easily, but Zuo Xin, who just married in, was so bold. How could they not be shocked?

In the back lobby.

Gu Chan was eating with gusto, but when she heard Zuo Xin say that outside, she was completely stunned.

The next second, she suddenly laughed out loud, looked at Zhang Wanshan and Ding Meihua and said, "This daughter-in-law is worth marrying. She is indeed worthy of being the second daughter of the general's family. She is so domineering."

"Yes! She is much more powerful than Wan'er and Ziyue. She dared to start a war on the first day she came in. It seems that it will be right to hand over Prince Chan's Mansion to her in the future."

"Yes, yes, this granddaughter-in-law is amazing. I like her."

Zhang Wanshan and Ding Meihua both praised it highly.

Obviously, compared to the gentle Ouyang Wan'er and Zi Yue, they prefer Zuo Xin's domineering and decisive character.

Zuo Xin was sitting outside, listening to Gu Chan and the other two praising her. She felt very happy and didn't realize that she had already started to get into big trouble.

The housekeeper was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses and said gloomily, "Madam San, I advise you to think about it again. We are a group of servants that you can't dismiss easily with just a few words."

"Oh! You are just a small housekeeper, and you are so arrogant in front of me, right? Now that the first and second wives are not here, I have the final say in the mansion. I can dismiss anyone I want, and who dares to say no?" Zuo Xin said with a sullen face.

Others are afraid of the prince, but she has never been afraid since she was a child.

Now, the prince's subordinate is just a dog, and he dares to yell in front of her, which naturally makes her feel very unhappy.

The housekeeper said coldly, "Madam San, we were specially sent by the Crown Prince to serve Prince Chan. If you want to dismiss us all, shouldn't you ask the Crown Prince first to see if he agrees?"

"Okay, come here, send all these bastards to the Prince's Mansion. Tell them that this is what I said and thank the Prince for his kindness. Now I have come with my dowry, which includes dozens of maids and servants. We don't need the people he sent. Just let him deal with these people properly." Zuo Xin said as he patted the table with his hand.

After she finished speaking, the dozen or so guards she had brought from the general's mansion who had been guarding nearby rushed forward and forcibly drove the housekeeper and others out of Prince Chan's mansion.

The housekeeper walked and shouted, "Madam, you are so reckless, the prince will definitely not forgive you, just wait!"

"Hmph! I'm not afraid of anything. Even if the sky falls, I still have my father, the great general in Kyoto, to support me! Tell him to go find my father and don't bother me. And you'd better shut up, you bastard, otherwise I'm going to beat you up first." Zuo Xin stood up, raised his finger and pointed at the butler and roared.

The housekeeper was so frightened that his face turned pale and he quickly shut his mouth and dared not say anything more.

When Gu Chan said she wanted to beat him up, that might have been just a scare. But when the second young lady of the general's family said she wanted to beat him up, she meant it. So he didn't dare to shout in front of her anymore.
