Use a substitute on your wedding night to scatter the ashes of your entire family

When Li Shuangwan saw Ling Heng coming back in the evening with a gloomy look on his face, he even ate two extra bowls of dinner.

Ling Heng stared at Li Shuangwan.

"What's wrong, Your Highness? Why are you looking at me like that? Why do you look so unhappy?"

Ling Heng frowned and sighed heavily: "Qinglian's coffin was dug up, and the body was chopped into pieces and put into the vulture's stomach."

With a "wow" sound, Li Shuangwan vomited out one of the two bowls of rice he had just eaten.

Her face was pale. "Your Highness, how could this happen? Who has a grudge against Qinglian? Even though the person is dead, they are still not satisfied and are so cruel as to chop her body into pieces?"

Ling Heng shook his head dejectedly. From the moment he came in, he had been staring at Li Shuangwan.

This matter should have nothing to do with her.

"Your Highness, when a person dies, it's like a light goes out. Maybe Qinglian had a grudge against someone before she died. It's better to give more silver to her family."

Ling Heng nodded.

"Your Highness, someone is coming from the palace." Sipo said from outside.

Ling Heng stood up and said, "Ah Wan, I'll be back soon."

"Your Highness, business is urgent."

A quarter of an hour later, Ling Heng came back. He changed his depressed look, walked up to Li Shuangwan and held her hand.

Ling Heng's hands were as cold as his heart.

He had an irrepressible smile on his face: "Ah Wan, my father asked me to go to the Ministry of Rites starting tomorrow, and start as the head of the Ministry of Rites."

A sixth-rank official, huh.

However, for Ling Heng, who had never caught the eye of Emperor Jingzhang, this was the first step into the court.

Li Shuangwan smiled and said, "Congratulations, Your Highness."

Ling Heng hugged Li Shuangwan into his arms: "Ah Wan, you are really my lucky star."

After three days, it was time for her to start her official life in the backyard of Prince Heng's Mansion.

Sure enough, Ling Heng said, "Tomorrow I will ask Butler Wu to take you to meet the people in the mansion. There are about 120 servants and guards in the mansion, which is not a lot. If you find it troublesome, just let him take care of it. Although Prince Heng's mansion is not big and the property is not much, I still feel sorry for you, and you are not in good health."

He hugged her shoulders again and said, "Besides, your father-in-law and mother-in-law have given you so much dowry, and you have to take care of the shop and farm. There is no need to waste time on these trivial matters in the palace. Just live a leisurely life in the palace, and I will accompany you when I am free. Of course, if you are too lazy to take care of your own shop and farm, just throw it to Butler Wu and ask him to give you an account every few days."

Li Shuangwan smiled and said, "Okay."

……

Li Shuangwan has an independent study in Lexiaoyuan.

There are many vernacular books and miscellaneous books on two rows of huge bookcases, as well as all kinds of porcelain ornaments. There are also a few not-too-expensive paintings on the wall.

There is a set of pear wood tables and chairs, and a chaise longue for resting by the window, on which a thin blanket and two pillows are thoughtfully placed.

It is much more exquisite than Ling Heng’s simple study.

This is what he wanted to do for her and the people she brought from the General's Mansion to see.

The next morning, Li Shuangwan got up slowly. After two maids helped her wash and have breakfast, she went to the study room at a leisurely pace.

In Le Xiaoyuan, there were five people, including Yizhu and Luoman, whom she brought with her, Chen Ping and Chen Rong, who had just been picked up from the farm, and a coachman named Zhou Wen.

There were two maids in charge of cleaning, two servants, two boy servants, and six servants from Prince Heng's mansion who were assigned to her by the housekeeper Wu.

She was in the study, and the six servants outside were walking back and forth for no reason. In her previous life, she had never paid attention to these people, but now it seemed that they were all used by Ling Heng to monitor her.

She had to get these people out.

Opportunities come and they come.

Li Shuangwan had just been half-leaning on the chaise longue reading a book for half an hour when Butler Wu came over with a few servants, a group of housekeepers, various managers, and servants from the palace.

He held the cards and the key to the warehouse in his hands, and the servant behind him was holding a box full of account books.

Li Shuangwan put down the book, walked to the flower hall, and slowly sat down in the main seat.

Although the housekeepers lowered their heads, they all secretly glanced at the person sitting in the main seat.

I thought that the eldest daughter of the Li family had been in the Northwest Army for many years, following a bunch of rough men, and was very uncouth. But now it seems that she doesn't look uncouth at all. Not to mention her good looks, the beauty mole between her eyebrows makes her look even more smart.

Besides, with this demeanor, even the ladies in the palace would be inferior to her.

Yizhu and Luoman looked at each other and smiled gently. The princess acted quite well as the mistress of the house.

The butler led everyone to salute Li Shuangwan, handed the pair of cards to Li Shuangwan, and said: "Princess, before your highness's wedding, all matters in the mansion were managed by me. This morning before leaving the mansion, the prince told me that the princess had come to the mansion, and you were the mistress of the Hengwang Mansion, and ordered me to hand over the housekeeping matters to the princess. This is the pair of cards, please accept it."

Li Shuangwan looked at the pair of cards in Butler Wu's hand and the box of account books behind him with a faint smile in his eyes.

Butler Wu waited quietly, his face respectful but his back straight, which was not the attitude a butler should have towards his master at all.

The prince asked him to just pretend, but Li Shuangwan was a woman who had been hanging out with a bunch of rough men in the army for years, who only knew how to wield knives and guns, and had never lived in Shengjing City for a long time.

Housekeeper, huh, how could she do that?

Besides, the power of the steward of Prince Heng's Mansion is more than just what it appears on the surface, and it is impossible to hand it over to her.

Li Shuangwan didn't take Butler Wu's attitude seriously. Why waste energy on a dying person?

Li Shuangwan took the key from the butler and smiled faintly: "Okay, thank you, Butler Wu. If I have any questions in the future, I will ask Butler Wu for advice."

Butler Wu was stunned. He answered it right away?

But then I thought about it, yes, Mr. Wei wants to establish himself, but I don’t know how long he can hold on to it.

He smiled awkwardly and waved his hand to ask the servant behind him to bring over the account books and other things.

Li Shuangwan was playing with the cards in his hand. On the surface, Prince Heng's Mansion was an unpopular palace, but in fact, Ling Heng's biological mother, Concubine Lin's family was a business tycoon. In the past few years, most of the money had been transferred to secret places and used elsewhere.

For example, training secret guards in Yingzui is a place where you burn a lot of money.

Li Shuangwan glanced at Butler Wu and picked up the tea.

In her previous life, when Butler Wu gave her the pair of cards, she hurriedly returned the things to him, saying that she had no idea how to manage the household and that the prince didn’t want her to work so hard.

A month later, she became pregnant. Ling Heng felt sorry for her and asked her to take good care of herself. So Li Shuangwan handed over all her dowry, shops, and farms to housekeeper Wu.

Her parents felt sorry for her and were angry that she followed the wrong person, but their dowry was more than enough.
