Zhumen Chunshen

417 - Conceal the news
Seeing Mama Li's mournful expression, Mama Rong was taken aback, shook her arm vigorously and said anxiously: "Miss Li, you have to cheer up! You can't show your whereabouts in front of Madam! If Madam finds out , That’s okay! Madam is still sick! Oh, you should mention the baby in the womb of the princess, so Madam will have something to worry about!”

Madam Li woke up like a dream, and hurriedly said: "Yes! Yes! This matter must be kept from Madam, and Madam must not know! I save it, I save it! Old girl, the prince is just missing, right, the prince will be fine?"

Rong Ma nodded again and again, "No, definitely not! Who is our prince? Hu people are so cruel and cunning that they are no match for him. It's just a disaster relief, how can something happen!"

Shen Quan is Yao Cunhui's husband-in-law, Rong's mother looks forward to his safe return even more than Li's mother.

"Yep!"

The two comforted each other incoherently, but neither of them knew what the other said, and neither of them thought about whether what the other said was reasonable or not, what they wanted was the comfort and confidence they got.

On Yao Cunhui's side, the housekeepers were not so easy to deal with.

There are four stewards in the Zhenxi Prince's Mansion. Steward Zhao is in charge of the general mediation, Steward Zhang is in charge of personnel affairs and dealings, Steward Yang is in charge of purchasing warehouses, and Steward Li is in charge of the farm property. Chores.

The faces of the housekeepers also changed when they heard the news, so it was a man's house, although they changed colors, they didn't mess up their positions.

"The prince's affairs are arranged by the court. We can't help except to ask the Bodhisattva to bless the prince. What can we do? Please show me the princess!" Zhao Butler said.

Yao Cunhui glanced at Butler Zhao gratefully, and sighed softly: "Butler Zhao is right, the old queen mother has sent people to the garden entrance, I believe the prince will be found! Our house can't be chaotic! The housekeepers only need to Do your best to take care of the affairs at hand, don't let others take advantage of the loopholes, and don't let the family members talk about the rumors about the master! Anyone who dares to talk about it in private will be punished in public for thirty, and the three-month money will be changed! If there is another crime , just beat it up and throw it on Zhuangzi or sell it, and it will never be used!"

"That's not good!" Zhang Butler smiled and said: "There are so many people in the house, how can we control them and not say anything? Besides, this news can't be hidden from anyone! According to the villain, the current princess It's better to be more kind and generous, why bother to be so harsh on others!"

Steward Zhang is Xue's confidant, and now he is getting close to Second Master Shen. In the past, he colluded with Xue's inside and outside and acted as a domineering, and he did not lose much.After Yao Cunhui took charge of the house, he reunited with Shen Quan and Zhao Butler inside and out, and Zhang Butler lost a lot of benefits. After listening to Yao Cunhui's words, he immediately refuted with a smile on his face.

Yao Cunhui said indifferently: "Of course you can't hide this news from anyone, and my concubine didn't tell you to hide it from others. But, you are not allowed to discuss it in private! If you know it, you will know it, and you can do whatever you want. The Zhenxi Palace is still fine. Here, no one will be short of monthly money! Shouldn’t a slave be punished for talking about his master’s affairs?”

Steward Zhang was speechless for a while, but still distinguished: "Even if it should be punished, it shouldn't be such a heavy punishment! The princess should be regarded as a prince to accumulate virtue, and she must be merciful. Otherwise, what should I do if something happens? "

Yao Cunhui couldn't help being furious, and said with a cold face: "What is the meaning of Steward Zhang? Now that the prince is missing, if the servants continue to talk about it and spread rumors, making people panic, do you want to live this day? What will happen again?" Come on, do you still want the face of Prince Zhenxi?"

"What the princess said is true!" Butler Li hurriedly said: "The mansion must not be chaotic at this time! The villain thinks that the princess is kind. From the perspective of the villain, anyone who dares to speak nonsense to provoke people's hearts should be the stick of the public. shoot!"

Butler Li used to be in charge of the farm property, and Mrs. Xue often found various excuses to intervene. He was very unhappy. Now Yao Cunhui didn't say much except listening to his profit report after checking the accounts normally. Butler Li was naturally on Yao Cunhui's side.

Steward Zhao coughed, and said, "That's right, we are all stewards of the royal residence, we all prosper and all suffer, and we must hold our ground even more at this time!"

Yao Cunhui calmed down, nodded and said: "That's the reason! These days, everyone must pay more attention. After these hard days, when the prince comes back, he will be rewarded! Several housekeepers are loyal to the palace. This concubine will always remember!"

Housekeeper Zhao and the other three hurriedly stood up, cupped their hands and said yes humbly.Seeing that the three of them had expressed their views, Steward Zhang had no choice but to stand up and move his mouth with the crowd. He was angry, and couldn't help muttering in a low voice: "Whether to reward or not, I don't know if I will come back..."

"What did you say!" Yao Cunhui's ears were sharp, Huo Di stood up, and asked sharply with a changed expression.

"What did Steward Zhang just say? I didn't hear clearly, please say it again!" Yao Cunhui stared at Steward Zhang coldly, her face as frosty as frost.What she was afraid of was that everyone in the mansion spread rumors and speculations. She didn't think that the servants had not been strictly prohibited, but Steward Zhang himself took the lead in talking nonsense. How could Yao Cunhui not be angry?If these housekeepers had not been in the mansion for many years, with deep roots and intricate relationships, she would order someone to take Steward Zhang down at this moment.

Butler Zhang didn't expect that Yao Cunhui would hear his muttering, and he also knew what he shouldn't have said, so he lost his arrogance all of a sudden, and was a little disturbed by Yao Cunhui's burning eyes, and subconsciously turned his face and said: "Little No one said anything!"

Yao Cunhui remained silent, still staring straight at him.The air in the hall suddenly became solemn, and there was no sound.

Steward Zhang made her stare uncomfortable, but he didn't dare to refute, so he simply stood there with a slap in the neck as if he didn't know anything.

"Princess, please don't worry, the little people know what to do, and they will live up to the expectations of the concubine!" Yang Butler is a peacemaker, and has a good relationship with several butlers. said with a smile.

Yao Cunhui snorted and looked away, and said lightly: "When you leave this door, what you just said will take effect immediately. If there is someone who chews his tongue, no matter who he is, he will be held accountable. The housekeepers are all witnesses! My concubine I won't bother you!" After finishing speaking, he went straight away.

"Farewell to the princess!" Housekeeper Zhao hurriedly agreed, sent Yao Cunhui out of the courtyard, and turned back only after seeing her gone.

The boss of Steward Zhang lost face, his face was always tense, and he said angrily: "Does Steward Zhao have any orders? If not, I will leave first!"

Steward Zhao stared at him, and said with a calm expression: "Not yet. According to what the princess said, everyone should go back and explain to each other, and take care of their own people. The Zhenxi Palace is always the Zhenxi Palace, who is the princess serious about?" , as slaves, we can only obey! Well, let’s all go!”

Steward Yang and Steward Li agreed to say goodbye, and chatted away together. Steward Zhao nodded at Steward Zhang and turned around.

Butler Zhang stayed for a while, then slowly walked away with his head bowed, angry and hated, and secretly dejected when he thought of Butler Zhao's words.

Steward Zhao's words are very clear, even if the prince has some troubles, but the palace is still there, and the concubine still has a child in her stomach!Even if the concubine gave birth to a daughter, it is not impossible for the second and third bedrooms to have sons, or to adopt one from the side of the clan.And if something happened to King Zhenxi, it would be a sacrifice for the country, and the court would definitely reward him generously. As long as his children don't rebel or bully the king, a title is secure!If you think that if the prince is gone, the princess will have nothing to rely on to be manipulated and bullied, then you are wrong!He also knows a thing or two about the princess' methods, and she is definitely not a kind person who is easy to handle. If she is serious about handling herself, who can stop her?Steward Zhang broke out in a cold sweat, angry and hated.

Compared with the housekeepers in the outer court, the inner court is much easier to handle. How dare these ladies in charge say nothing to Yao Cunhui's words?Wei Nuo Nuo quickly agreed.Lu Shi and Meng Shi couldn't help but feel sad when they heard the words, they comforted Yao Cunhui well, and advised her to relax at least for the sake of the child in her womb.Yao Cunhui reluctantly agreed with a smile, feeling sore and bitter in her heart.

Yao Cunhui personally went over to Wisteria House.Shen Jialin is Shen Quan's biological sister, so she is naturally different from the others, and she serves Madam Xiao all day long, so it is better to analyze her interests with her.

Sure enough, Shen Jialin was stunned, holding Yao Cunhui and weeping bitterly, which made Yao Cunhui sad too, Rong Ma, Hong Liao, Haitang and others persuaded her for a long time before she finally calmed down.

"Good sister, don't be sad, your brother will return safely! If your eyes are swollen from crying, what will you do in front of your mother? Wouldn't it be bad if your mother asked me!" Yao Cunhui smiled softly while wiping her tears .

Shen Jialin suddenly came to her senses, hurriedly asked someone to pour hot water to apply to her face, nodded and said: "Sister-in-law is right, I definitely can't let mother know about this! Mother has already fallen ill because of brother's errand, if she finds out about this again— "Shen Jialin's eyes turned red, and she hurriedly wiped it away.

Yao Cunhui was also dejected, and squeezed her hand tightly.

"Actually, you, sister-in-law, are the hardest one!" Shen Jialin held Yao Cunhui's hand and said guiltily, "I, I can't help sister-in-law with anything, and I want sister-in-law to worry about it. It's really—"

"We are a family, what are you talking about! Since you call me sister-in-law, I should be like a sister-in-law, right?" Yao Cunhui interrupted Shen Jialin with a smile.

Shen Jialin felt a little relieved, and forced a smile. Seeing that Yao Cunhui's face was not looking good, she hurriedly urged her to go back to rest, and said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I will take good care of your mother, and I will definitely not let her know! Sister-in-law, If there is any news from my brother, you must let me know!"

"Of course!" Yao Cunhui nodded in agreement, she was really tired after a busy day, so she got up and went back.

Suddenly remembered something, Yao Cunhui turned his head to Rongma and said: "Mother Rong, you go back to Yao's house tomorrow, I will write a letter and you bring it to my father!" He sighed softly.If possible, she really wanted to go back in person, but in the current situation, it was naturally inconvenient to go out.
