"Don't worry, Zhao Yujiao won't have the chance to be harsh on us. We still have a dowry property, which is enough for our expenses."
Ye Chuyan slowly explained to Bai Zhi.
"Although there are few masters in the Qing Palace, there are more than 500 servants and guards, and there are so many properties. After Zhao Yujiao took over, he had no time to bother us for at least half a month."
Bai Zhi had mixed feelings after hearing this. "Princess, you were never like this before. I always feel uncomfortable in my heart."
In the past, the master dared to love and hate, and disdained scheming, but now he does not care about anything.
Ye Chuyan raised the corners of his mouth mockingly.
"In the past, I was the legitimate daughter of Duke Hou, but now I am just the daughter of a guilty minister. All honor and disgrace rest on Pei Xiuyan. My status as Princess Qing allows me to do many things, and I cannot be snatched away yet."
During this time, she figured out a lot of things. She is burdened with a guilty past, but cannot lose all hope for the future.
She wanted to reverse the case for the Ye family, make Pei Xiuyan pay the price, and plan for the living.
This road is long and bumpy, full of thorns and darkness. Even if you get to the end, you will lose everything with one careless move.
so what? She, Ye Chuyan, decided to go on with her teeth and knees.

After Zhao Yujiao returned, she picked up the vase on the table and smashed it on the ground. The vase fragments collapsed, scratching Hongying's forehead.
Hongying, who was covering her forehead, thought for a moment. She was on the same boat as Zhao Yujiao, so she still needed to be persuaded.
"Master, why are you angry? You are now a serious Princess of the Qing Dynasty, and the power of the family is also in your hands. It's just that you are missing the formality of a wedding."
Zhao Yujiao's temples jumped suddenly. Is the wedding just a formality? ! Without a wedding, no matter how nice it is, she is still Miss Zhao!
These are not the most terrifying.
The most terrifying thing was that she felt that Pei Xiuyan had a different emotion towards Ye Chuyan today. She couldn't tell what it felt like, it was like possessiveness bursting out of anger.
When Pei Xiuyan said that he wanted to marry him in front of Ye Chuyan, there was clearly a feeling of venting hatred in it. Pei Xiuyan wants to use this to annoy Ye Chuyan? Let her taste it?
Pei Xiuyan is attracted to Ye Chuyan! This thought was like a poisonous snake climbing up his back, sending chills down Zhao Yujiao's spine and making him tremble uncontrollably.
In two years, too many changes can easily happen.
She glanced at Hongying and said grimly: "Why don't you speak for me today?"
Hongying: "..." In that situation, could a slave like her interrupt?
Zhao Yujiao was speechless when she saw Hongying. She picked up the tea cup on the table and threw it at Hongying hard.
Screamed: "You are just waiting to see my joke, right?"
Her overwhelming anger desperately needed an outlet.
Hongying subconsciously ducked away from the tea cup.
"How dare you, a cheap servant like you, hide?" Zhao Yujiao was furious.
The servant in the courtyard called out from outside the house, "Miss Zhao, Butler Li wants to see you."
Zhao Yujiao's ferocious face instantly returned to its former self, and she said softly, "Invite him in."
After saying that, she looked at Hongying coldly.
When Li Fu came in, Hongying was picking up the broken tea cups and vases on the ground. While doing so, she said, "Master, this servant was careless and broke your things. Please punish me."
Zhao Yujiao sighed quietly.
"You are my personal maid, how can I bear to blame you? It's a small thing to break something, but what if I bruise my forehead and leave a scar? I feel really distressed, so pack up and go get some medicine."
Hongying hurriedly agreed, packed up the pieces and quickly left the house.
Li Fu felt soft in his heart. As he got older, he couldn't help but sigh when he saw such a warm master and servant.
He cleared his throat and said, "Miss Zhao, here are all the slave sales deeds, land deeds, shops, and warehouse lists of the Qing Palace..."
Only then did Zhao Yujiao notice that the red brocade box held by Li Fu was filled with various documents.
Seeing that Zhao Yujiao was a little distracted, Li Fu shook the wrinkles on his face.
"Miss Zhao, now that you have the power of housekeeping, you are the mistress of the Qing Palace. Why are you still not happy?"
Zhao Yujiao raised her eyes and glanced at Li Fu, wondering what medicine he was selling in his gourd. There was silence for a moment.
"Miss Zhao, I heard that the young master of the Wu family came to Kyoto. When the emperor held a banquet yesterday, the young master of the Wu family was also there. The prince came back from the banquet and went to Jiangjiayuan."
Wu Mu's admiration for Ye Chuyan is not a secret among the nobles in Kyoto. So, Pei Xiuyan lived in Jiangjiayuan because he saw Wu Mu getting angry?
Zhao Yujiao's eyelids twitched suddenly, and her heart suddenly became enlightened.
She met Li Fu's cloudy eyes and asked doubtfully: "Steward Li, what do you mean by this?"
Li Fu narrowed his eyes, the wrinkles on his face gathered together, and he smiled.

Because of the visit of the new Emperor Beirong, the emperor canceled the Spring Festival holiday and summoned all the courtiers to discuss the matter on the night of the first day of the Lunar New Year.
The final conclusion of the discussion was: first receive the guests according to etiquette and rules, firstly to show Dafeng’s great power, and secondly, wait until the other party’s intention is clear, and wait and see what happens.
The emperor gave Pei Xiuyan full responsibility for entertaining the new emperor Beirong.
Pei Xiuyan was so busy that he stayed at Honglu Temple for several days in a row, discussing the details of the reception with the Minister of Rites and the Minister of Honglu Temple day and night.
King Pingyang, who was originally going back after the Spring Festival, temporarily stayed in Kyoto due to the arrival of the new Emperor Beirong.
For a time, the situation in the court was surging.
There was peace in the Qing Palace.
After Zhao Yujiao chatted with Li Fu for a long time that day, she began to concentrate on taking over the control of the family. She was dizzy just checking the accounts.
While she was busy with her feet on the ground, she was secretly shocked. Ye Chuyan was really impressed. She had taken over such a large Qing palace for three years without making any mistakes.
After being frightened, he vowed to take care of everything in Prince Qing's palace, and he must surpass Ye Chuyan.
Zhao Yujiao is a smart person, and with Li Fu's help, she quickly got started and vaguely found the way.
During this period of time, Ye Chuyan stayed in Jiangjiayuan every day to recover from his injuries. Although the confinement was lifted, he never stepped out of the yard.
Just like that, before we knew it, it was the tenth day of the first lunar month.
On the night of the tenth day of the lunar month, the moonlight was just right. Ye Chuyan tried his luck in the hospital and found that he had not found the root of the disease at all, and he recovered a few days earlier than Doctor Wei expected.
She couldn't help but feel warm in her heart. This was all due to the muscle-growing and bone-boosting pills given by Wu Mu. She will find a chance to meet Wu Mu tomorrow.
She asked Bai Zhi to find the long tasseled gun that she had hung for three years, and danced with it under the moonlight.
She must now pick up her martial arts skills and never let them go to waste again.
The new servants in the yard couldn't help but started to drink loudly when they saw Ye Chuyan's handsome skills and flowing water.
No one noticed that there was a servant Lin Shi missing in the yard at this moment.
