Chapter 274 Who holds the knife, the handle is facing whom
Liao Yunfei looked flattered and immediately bowed to Ji Chuhe, "Madam, I am willing to take responsibility for this matter! Thank you for your trust in me, I will definitely not let you down!"
"Okay." Ji Chuhe responded indifferently.
"Madam, I don't think this matter can be handed over to Liao Yunfei!" Xu Yan'er immediately objected.
"Aunt Xu, just take care of your own tasks! You are even managing the madam? Who should be in charge of this household, the madam or you?" Dong Ling scolded immediately.
Xu Yan'er couldn't refute Dong Ling and was filled with anger.
Among the three people, her assignment is the least important!
The lady would rather reuse Liao Yunfei than reuse her.
Once this news got out, Liao Yunfei was able to stand up again!
After all, her status is the lowest in the mansion. If the prince hadn't doted on her, she really didn't know how she could gain a foothold in this mansion!
Although Dong Ling didn't understand why Madam arranged it this way, Madam had her own reasons!
The idiot Xu Yan'er would just scream and shout!
Seeing that everything had been arranged, Xiao Yan'an said directly to the three people, "You three go down first."
"Yes." The three responded in unison.
Only Ji Chuhe and Xiao Yanan were left in the room, and Xiao Yanan immediately poured Ji Chuhe a glass of water.
"Ma'am, you have worked hard during this period."
"This is what I should do. The prince is also busy running around."
"Why did Madam give Liao Yunfei such an important task? Aren't you afraid that she will really cause trouble?"
"Didn't Liao Yunfei keep saying that she loves the prince and it's impossible for her to join Concubine Luo? She should at least take some practical actions to show her love."
"Madam means that if Liao Yunfei wants to prove her sincerity, she will take the initiative to guard against Concubine Luo and will definitely complete this task."
"That's right." Ji Chuhe nodded.
Since Liao Yunfei is a knife, it doesn’t matter who uses it!
The handle of the knife will point towards whoever holds it.
"It all depends on what Liao Yunfei chooses this time. I thought about it and realized that there are only a few things that could go wrong at the banquet. It would be better to open a loophole for them. This way, I can be more prepared."
Concubine Luo would never miss such a good opportunity.
Ji Chuhe didn't want to sit and wait for death.
Sometimes you need to take the initiative!
But what she prepared for Concubine Luo was not only this, there was also a big gift!
"Madam, the expenses in the mansion are so huge, is there enough money?" Xiao Yan'an was very worried about this.
However, he thought that the Duke's Mansion would definitely help them through this difficult time, and if the money was not enough, they could pay it back slowly in the future.
"Originally it was quite sufficient, but now that so many tables have been added to the banquet, it is a bit tight. However, don't worry, Your Highness. These people are not here to eat for free. We still have gifts to receive, so at worst we can settle the bill."
"I want to find a way to make money. I can't ask my mother for money again."
"I think so too." Ji Chuhe nodded, "I'll worry about these things later."
"it is good."
"Madam!" Mianzhu ran in quickly and said to Ji Chuhe excitedly, "Madam, look who's here."
As soon as she finished speaking, a figure in a dark red dress walked in carrying a bundle.
Although she was facing away from the light and her face could not be seen clearly, Ji Chuhe recognized her at a glance and stood up immediately.
"Aunt Ji!"
"Madam, it's me." Nanny Ji responded happily.
"Why are you here? Didn't I tell my mother to let you stay in Huaiyang?" Ji Chuhe hurriedly stepped forward and supported Nanny Ji.
"My madam is in the imperial capital, how can I stay in Huaiyang with peace of mind? So, I begged the princess to let me come to see my madam." Nanny Ji looked at Ji Chuhe with heartache in her eyes.
"Why has Madam lost so much weight?"
"Recently, the new mansion has just been established, and there are many affairs to deal with. I am a little tired. Mammy, how did you get here?"
"We've had a lot of fun along the way."
"You guys? Who else is coming?"
"Chunsheng is here too."
"Chunsheng's caravan is back?" Ji Chuhe asked excitedly.
"Yes." Nanny Ji nodded.
Seeing Ji Chuhe so happy, Xiao Yanan felt happy too.
I haven't seen her smile like this in a long time.
Ji Chuhe took Nanny Ji's hand and talked to her about some personal matters. Chunsheng was also settled and came to meet Ji Chuhe.
After not seeing him for several months, Chunsheng has changed a lot. His originally fair skin has now turned wheat-colored. He looks a few years older than his actual age, and has a bit of a businessman's temperament.
There were several figures following behind him, among whom was a little girl with two braids, who was particularly conspicuous.
"Greetings, Madam, and Prince." Chunsheng stepped forward and saluted.
The people behind him also followed him and saluted Ji Chuhe, "Greetings, Madam, Prince."
"No need to be so polite." Ji Chuhe raised his hand.
"Ma'am, do you still remember me?" The little girl in the crowd took the initiative to speak.
"Ya Ya, don't be rude!" someone on the side shouted.
Ji Chuhe smiled at her, "Of course I remember, when we first met, you turned into a flower for me."
"Yes, yes, I said that the lady still remembered me!" the little girl responded happily.
Someone nearby pulled her aside and told her to be quiet.
Ji Chuhe couldn't help but laugh. She didn't know why, but she felt as happy to see them as if she had seen old friends. Obviously, she didn't know them very well, as they had only appeared in her world in this life.
Maybe it’s because of the word Huaiyang.
They came from Huaiyang.
Huaiyang is her hometown, where her father and mother are whom she cares about.
"Madam, this is the account book for this business trip. We made a total of 1,259 taels of silver, and there are four carts of goods. Those are the things I collected along the way. If you like them, please keep them. If not, we can load them up and sell them next time we go on a business trip."
Ji Chuhe flipped through the account book and nodded with satisfaction, "You did a good job. You made a profit on your first business trip, and the income was considerable. The key is that you all returned safely."
"Ma'am, don't worry. After this business trip, we have learned a few tricks and will become more and more proficient in the future."
"Okay, you guys settle down in the prince's mansion for the time being. I'm short of manpower right now. I'll make other arrangements after this busy period."
"Yes, ma'am, we'll take our leave first."
"Yaya." Ji Chuhe suddenly called.
"Husband, husband!" Yaya responded immediately, looking at Ji Chuhe with anticipation.
"Would you stay in the mansion and follow Aunt Dong from now on?"
"Okay, Yaya, I'll follow Madam's instructions."
Ji Chuhe also had to make plans for Dong Ling's child. After the birth, a wet nurse and maids had to be arranged, as there were not enough people around Dong Ling.
Liao Huairen and Liao Huaide were trained by Rong Song for a period of time, and later they were also the guards and attendants arranged by her for Dong Ling's children.
……
Liao Yunfei had just returned to her own courtyard when a maid came to ask for a meeting.
When Liao Yunfei saw this person, she felt a headache.
She was still worried about the task Ji Chuhe gave her!
