Absolutely! My maid was reborn after time travel
Chapter 326
After learning about Qian Lingshuang's pregnancy, Shen Qinglan was depressed for several days.
In the afternoon of this day, Aunt Du came to Jialanju. She was the old nanny in Prince Heng's Mansion, and she was also the maid of Princess Xianheng.
"Princess, I would like to send my regards to you."
"Mother Du, please get up quickly. How come you have a labor driver coming here?"
Aunt Du smiled and said, "You are offending me by saying that. Princess Qi, during the New Year, some officials sent New Year's gifts to our prince's villa, so the old slave came to ask for the princess's instructions.
How to deal with things."
"Can you please give me my instructions?" Shen Qinglan was puzzled. Murong Bo was always responsible for this kind of thing.
"Murong Bo returned to the military camp recently. It seemed that there was something important, and I didn't dare to disturb him. I heard that an envoy came to the court recently and wanted to live in our prince's villa. The old slave thought, these things can't be
If you leave it in another courtyard like this, it will cause trouble for the prince." said Aunt Du.
"Has it been opened?" Shen Qinglan asked.
"The prince didn't say that he wanted to open the seal, so the servants didn't dare to touch it. Princess, the other courtyard still needs to be repaired, and we don't dare to do it," said Aunt Du.
"Then, let me go and have a look later?" Shen Qinglan said.
Aunt Du smiled and said, "Okay, the princess wants to go and see her, and this old slave has a good idea. We slaves don't understand this either. It would be bad if we neglect the envoys of other countries."
"When will the envoy come?" Shen Qinglan asked again.
"I don't know the specific time. I guess it will be there in less than a month." Aunt Du replied.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, mama. Let's sit down and have a cup of tea." Shen Qinglan said.
"No, there is something else going on in the other courtyard, so I won't bother you."
After Mother Du left, Shen Qinglan glanced at the tea bowl in her hand and ordered: "Yan'er, tell Ji Fan and ask him to arrange for four people to go to the other courtyard with me tomorrow afternoon."
"Princess, why don't you bring some more guards? Those gifts must be carried by someone," Yan'er said.
"There is no need to ask the guards to carry it. Go tell my second brother and ask him to send people from the Ministry of Household Affairs to carry the things away today and fill the treasury." Shen Qinglan said.
"Ah?" Yan'er was very surprised, "Don't you need to tell the prince?"
"No, the prince said that these gifts are going to be added to the national treasury, so just take them away. If I don't want to cause trouble, I will just say that the prince ordered his second brother to get them." Shen Qinglan said.
Yan'er thought for a while and asked with some confusion: "If the princess becomes the master, wouldn't it be considered a credit to the court? How can it be troublesome?"
Shen Qinglan smiled and took a sip of tea, "The prince and I are a family. If the person who gave the gifts knew that I had tampered with these things and turned them over to the treasury in the name of Linyuan, what would happen if anything happened to me in the future?
Do it? So, I don’t dare to take the credit for anything that deserves credit. If it is done by the courtiers of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and they are not from Linyuan, it will also be a deterrent to those who give gifts."
"Oh...I understand!" Yan'er suddenly understood and smiled: "If it is collected in the name of the Ministry of Household Affairs, that is another matter. As long as our Linyuan does not hand over the list of gifts, no one will know
These gifts are from the masters of some family. By holding the handle of their gift-giving, we can gain a good reputation in the court and kill two birds with one stone."
"That's right." Shen Qinglan said.
"Princess, you are so smart. How did you come up with so many ideas?" Yan'er asked.
"Sending gifts to the imperial court is very sensitive. Naturally, you have to be more careful and don't give others a reason to talk or cause trouble for the prince." Shen Qinglan said.
Yan'er asked again: "Then why did the princess ask Ji Fan to arrange the arrangements? Are you afraid of encountering danger on the road?"
"Me too...be careful."

In the afternoon of the second day, Ji Fan took Miao Ke, Diao Ge and Yuan Zi to Linyuan, and set off with Shen Qinglan to Jingtai Courtyard.
The housekeeper of the other courtyard is named Liu. He is over fifty years old and looks honest and honest. It is said that he is also an old man who served the late Princess Heng.
"This old slave has seen the princess and wishes her well."
Butler Liu took all the servants and maids from the other courtyard to kowtow in greeting.
"Everyone, please get up. There is no need to be polite." Shen Qinglan said.
"Thank you, Princess."
After everyone stood up, Shen Qinglan said again: "Steward Liu, this is my first time coming to the other courtyard. Could you please lead the way so that I can see what areas need repairing."
"This is my duty, Princess, please."
Butler Liu took Shen Qinglan and everyone from Linyuan for a walk around the courtyard, and then returned to the front hall to drink tea and rest.
"Princess, how do you think our courtyard should be repaired?" Butler Liu asked.
"You don't need to worry about the repairs. I will send someone from Linyuan to supervise this matter later. You are old and it's time to take a rest. By the way, where are the account books of other courtyards? Bring them to me and take a look." Shen Qinglan
road.
Butler Liu looked embarrassed, "Uh... OK, I'll go get it now."
Not long after, Butler Liu returned to the front hall holding a ledger. Shen Qinglan took it and flipped through a few pages before putting it down without saying anything.
"It's getting late today. I'll go back first. I'll send someone over tomorrow."
Shen Qinglan stood up and walked out, and Butler Liu hurriedly followed.
"Steward Liu, please stay. You have worked hard today."
Butler Liu clasped his fists and saluted, "Old slave, I would like to send you the princess."
After leaving the front hall, Shen Qinglan admired the flowers, plants and landscapes in the courtyard, seeming a little unhappy.
Ji Fan asked: "Princess, do you think there is something wrong with the other hospital's accounts?"
Shen Qinglan sneered, "Butler Liu only showed me the accounts for the last three months. He was obviously guilty and it was a fake account. I only read a few pages and found several loopholes and the numbers were messy.
, the ink marks are also new. This Butler Liu, he thinks I am a fool."
"Princess, isn't this Butler Liu the old man next to Princess Xianheng?" Yan'er said.
"That's right, this Butler Liu has been serving the late Princess since she married into Prince Heng's Mansion, and he is quite trustworthy." Ji Fan said.
"So what? Even if he was loyal at the time, people's hearts have long since changed after the death of the late princess." Shen Qinglan said.
"It's so abominable! The prince trusted him and arranged for him to be the housekeeper in another courtyard. He is so ungrateful!" Yan'er said angrily.
"I'm afraid this is not the only one who is ungrateful." Shen Qinglan said.
"You mean... Aunt Du? Is it possible that Aunt Du is also in cahoots with Butler Liu?" Yan'er asked.
"I'm not sure about this at the moment, but since Grandma Du and Butler Liu are taking care of the affairs of the other courtyard, it's natural that she can't be completely unaware of it." Shen Qinglan said.
"These guys are a nest of snakes and rats, they are really disgusting! Princess, why didn't you just deal with Butler Liu directly?" Yan'er asked.
"It's easy to scare snakes by cutting grass, so don't worry, let's wait and see. It's a pleasure to deal with him at once. If there is someone else behind Butler Liu, wouldn't we be fooled?" Shen Qinglan said with a smile.
