Chapter 938: Chapter 801: Taking Over Pingxi Hall (Three-in-One ga Chapter)_2 Chapter 938: Chapter 801: Taking Over Pingxi Hall (Three-in-One ga Chapter)_2 Hearing these words, Daohua’s eyes flashed with coldness, yet her face feigned shyness as she said, “Sister-in-law is experienced, why do you make fun of ? Weren’t you the sa when you first married into the Prince Residence?”
Luo Qiong was at a loss for words; she had not expected Daohua to respond like this.
Was she really like this when she got married?
Of course not.
Not to ntion sleeping until mid-morning, she had to get up early to attend to Princess Consort Ma.
Comparing their situations, Luo Qiong felt uneasy. Looking at Daohua’s happily blushing face, she found it extrely irritating and didn’t want to talk further. She said directly, “Fourth sister has returned after her third visit to her mother’s ho. Mother has said that from today, you should start performing your morning and evening duties for her.”
Daohua looked at Luo Qiong in astonishnt and blurted out, “Is the Princess Consort ill?”
Luo Qiong’s mouth twitched again as she stood up: “I have passed on Mother’s ssage. How you handle it is up to you, second younger sister-in-law. I won’t disturb you anymore. I’m leaving.”
After Luo Qiong left the room, Daohua slamd the tea cup she was holding onto the table and said to Wang Manman, “Within three days, compile a list of all the servants working in Pingxi Hall. Don’t worry about their personal connections.”
She had decided, she would not keep any of these servants.
Wang Manman looked at Daohua, knowing she was angered. The eldest sister-in-law ca without prior notice, and the news of Daohua sleeping in had been leaked, which also infuriated her.
Wang Manman turned and left, quickly going to tally the servants.
Daohua then had Bi Shi call Xiaoliu.
“I had asked you to select maids and nannies from the various estates and teach them proper conduct. How is that going?”
Since the Emperor had decreed her marriage, Daohua had Xiaoliu start on this task, even hiring a nanny from the palace specialized in training maids for large households to conduct training on the estates.
Xiaoliu: “Replying to miss, the training in rules and etiquette is almost complete. However, these maids have limited experience, after training for so long, they can only handle nial tasks.”
Daohua: “That’s not a problem, as long as they are sincere.” She didn’t need skilled managerial talents; as long as these people followed the rules she had set and worked well in their positions, that was enough.
“Prepare for this, in a few days, I might have these people start working in the residence.”
Xiaoliu looked up at Daohua, sowhat worried.
Miss has just married into the Prince Residence, and she’s already changing servants. Is this wise?
Daohua hadn’t initially intended to replace everyone, but today’s incident had been a wake-up call.
Now that she was married to Xiao Yeyang, Pingxi Hall was her ho. She wouldn’t allow her ho to be spied on, with its affairs leaked carelessly.
She had thought about replacing them gradually, but now she felt that was too slow.
She didn’t have extra energy to waste on the trivial conflicts in the won’s quarters of the residence; she had more important matters to attend to.
She had to spend ti adjusting to Xiao Yeyang, getting to know his lifestyle, deepening their mutual affection;
She had to build a good relationship with Prince Consort Xiao and Xiao Yeyang’s mother, pulling them closer to Xiao Yeyang as much as possible;
She also had to deal with the nurous mbers of the Imperial Clan. Even if not befriending them, she should at least know their preferences and taboos to avoid being manipulated or offending anyone.
All of this was far more important than competing with the won in the back quarters of the Prince Residence.
Thus, for Pingxi Hall, which was like a sieve infiltrated by various factions, it was better to take decisive action and change all the servants, solving the problem once and for all.
Rembering Princess Consort Ma telling her to attend to her morning and evening rituals made Daohua’s lips curl up; she had just found a reason not to bring it up herself.
Xiao Yeyang returned ho after dark.
Daohua first had soone fetch water for him to wash up, and then they prepared dinner.
“It’s so late, and you haven’t eaten yet?”
Daohua smiled, “I had to wait for you to co back so we could eat together.”
Xiao Yeyang held Daohua’s hand, “Don’t wait for in the future, I’d feel terrible if you were hungry.”
Daohua: “I wasn’t hungry, I had so snacks,” she said, pulling Xiao Yeyang to the dinner table.
Xiao Yeyang looked at the steaming dishes and then at Daohua by his side, his eyes filled with happiness; he was finally not eating alone.
During the al, Daohua told Xiao Yeyang about her plans to replace the servants in Pingxi Hall.
Xiao Yeyang imdiately said, “You are the mistress of Pingxi Hall. Here, you have the final say.”
