I glanced briefly at the account book, seeing dense traditional characters, most of which I didn’t recognize. I quickly made up my mind and instructed him: “Leave the account book here. I’ll look at it when I have time. As for the maids’ leave, you can decide. However much money they need, just give it to them.”
Also tell them that from now on, all travel expenses for returning home will be covered by the mansion!”
After all, it’s not my money, so I won’t care how much is spent. The key is to win people’s hearts. I haven’t forgotten my bet with that guy. I’ll make everyone in this prince’s mansion obey me, including him. I’ll show him what real talent looks like!
The steward looked hesitant: “This… might not be appropriate. The mansion has never had such a rule before.”
I immediately patted his shoulder reassuringly: “Don’t worry. Rules are made by people. Since the prince put me in charge of the household, all matters big and small will be decided by me. He won’t object!” Ha, before the bet’s deadline, even if he wants to object, he can’t!
The steward hesitated, then finally nodded: “This old servant understands!”
I continued: “By the way, I think many rules in the royal mansion need reform. Tonight I’ll draft a specific plan, and tomorrow I’ll trouble you to come discuss the implementation details!”
Zui’er glanced at the sky outside and urgently grabbed my hand, saying: “Your Highness should have gone to the morning court by now. Madam, would you like to sleep first? I’ll wake you up when he returns.”
Sleep?
How could I sleep at this moment? After working hard all night, I’m eager to have everyone see the results of my labor!
I immediately broke free from her hand and ran outside: “No need. Since that guy isn’t here, I’ll go find Steward Yan!”
Zui’er anxiously tried to call me back, but seeing me not turn around, she resignedly stopped and hurriedly followed.
“Uncle Yan, Uncle Yan?”
Before even reaching Uncle Yan’s room, I eagerly called out loudly…
Uncle Yan quickly came out, surprised to see me: “Madam? Why are you here?”
