Translator: 549690339

“This servant doesn’t disobey. But… should I obey even if it’s unreasonable?”

“She is my Main Consort. Do you understand what that means?”

Li Yuanyuan shook her head: “This servant listens to your teachings.”

“It means no matter if she is right or wrong, whether I like her or not, she is the Main Consort, and she is your Master. You must obey her unconditionally and serve her. Do you understand?” Li Hongyuan said, “Have you forgotten the outcome of Nanny Wei?”

“This servant understands.” Li Yuanyuan’s eyes filled with tears, “These are the pastries this servant made, which you always loved to eat. If there’s no opportunity to make them for you in the future, I hope you will remember the good things about this servant…”

She lifted her sleeve to wipe away her tears.

Li Hongyuan gave a faint grunt without saying anything else.

Li Yuanyuan looked up and saw him continue writing with his head down.

She choked up, softly calling out, “Master…”

“You go ahead.” Li Hongyuan didn’t even raise his head. “Remember, do whatever she tells you to do. Don’t disobey her, and don’t make her angry. If you make me angry instead, you know the consequences.”

Li Yuanyuan had been with him for several years and understood his temperament.

It was entirely different from his dazzling outer appearance.

As dazzling and noble as his appearance and status were, his nature and temper were just as cold-hearted and ruthless, without considering the means.

Li Yuanyuan knew very well that the Prince of Yu wouldn’t mind a woman occasionally being coquettish and willful. However, if she was unreasonable resulting in his impatience, he wouldn’t take any past sentiments into account.

Nanny Wei and Madam Zhao were perfect examples.

At one point, Nanny Wei managed the front courtyard while Madam Zhao was in charge of the affairs of the rear palace. Were the Prince not attaching importance to them?

But once they made mistakes, they were thrown out mercilessly.

Although Li Yuanyuan considered herself to have the longest time and highest favor with the Prince, she never dared to challenge his patience.

After finishing writing the flood control plan, Li Hongyuan put down his pen, rubbed his slightly aching wrist, stood up, and left the room.

The early autumn weather was cool and comfortable, with a faint fragrance of osmanthus wafting in the breeze.

It was very pleasant.

Everything was quiet around him.

Not even the movement of servants could be seen.

Li Hongyuan was puzzled at first but then remembered the strangeness of the Crystal Clear Manor that the servants had mentioned.

What was the peculiarity in Crystal Clear Manor that scared the servants away and made Li Yuanyuan teary eyed?

Generally, Li Hongyuan didn’t care about the matters of the rear courtyard as long as they weren’t excessively disruptive.

He initially intended to go to the Ministry of Works to discuss the details of the flood control project with several officials and dine in the palace. However, his steps still led him towards the direction of the Crystal Clear Manor.

Attendant Chashan followed: “Master, are we going to Crystal Clear Manor?”

Li Hongyuan’s steps paused: “Why would I go to Crystal Clear Manor? Head to the palace.”

The attendant quickly followed.

As they walked on, they saw several maids with tearful faces coming out.

“What’s going on?” Chashan stopped them.

The maids saw the Prince of Yu and quickly knelt down to salute, saying that they had come from the Princess Consort’s manor.

“Why are you crying?” Li Hongyuan asked.

The maids kept their heads down and did not dare to utter a word.

Li Hongyuan frowned, changed direction: “To Crystal Clear Manor!”

Although he didn’t pay much attention to the rear courtyard, if the Prince of Yu’s mansion – which had only been established for a little over a year – were turned into a smoke-filled mess by the newlywed Princess Consort, it would become a laughingstock among officials!

With this thought, Li Hongyuan hastened his steps.

As soon as he reached the entrance of Crystal Clear Manor, he heard shouts coming from inside.

“Go, go!”

“Go, maids!”

“Go, household team!”

“You useless bunch, can’t even win against women!”

“Women can hold up half the sky, beat them!”

That last, earth-shattering sentence was clear and full of energy..
