The Love of Passerby A

Chapter 769 The best friend of the reborn daughter of the Duke's Mansion (4)

After being hurt by the old housekeeper's words, Zhou Tianyu's mood, which had been okay, suddenly became a little depressed.

However, he still tried his best to remain calm and explained to the other party: "In marriage, it must be a matter of mutual love, and it cannot be forced."

The old butler glanced at his young master, his eyes revealing a hint of dissatisfaction and disdain.

That look seemed to be telling Zhou Tianyu: If it’s useless, just say it’s useless, don’t make excuses for your incompetence.

Zhou Tianyu looked at the old butler helplessly and sighed secretly in his heart.

Just now in the court, he had tried his best, but now facing this stern old butler, he was speechless.

At the same time, the third prince Zhao Jiaheng also learned the news.

When he heard that the Su brothers and sisters were all praised, a feeling of sourness suddenly surged in his heart.

Such a good thing, why didn't I know about it? If such an achievement could be achieved by him, wouldn't it be wonderful?

What's worse is that Zhao Jiaheng had just broken off his engagement with Su Xiangran, and his father praised the Su family in front of all the ministers.

I'm afraid it won't be long before the rumor that "the Su family has a beautiful daughter" will spread throughout the capital and even spread to the whole country.

After all, such praise is usually communicated nationwide.

Thinking of this, Zhao Jiaheng's face became even gloomier.

Yin Caiwei, who didn't know about this yet, happily put on the dress that had just been sent by Dongge. She looked at herself in the mirror for a while and then dressed herself up. She asked the servants to bring some cakes, wanting to take the opportunity to show up in front of Zhao Jiaheng.

Zhao Jiaheng was just feeling angry when he saw a girl carrying a food box walking towards him, following Yin Caiwei.

She was dressed very gorgeously, her waist swayed slightly, and her figure was very seductive.

If it were any other time, Zhao Jiaheng might have looked at her a few more times, but now he was getting more and more annoyed the more he looked.

The legitimate daughter of a duke is not as talented as the daughter of a minister of rites.

Especially after seeing the expensive clothes on the other person, my heart bleeds.

Zhao Jiaheng was not wealthy, and the Third Prince's Mansion was just a superficial appearance. The last time he went to the East Pavilion, he just wanted to find out the situation.

As a result, this woman was "forced" by Baili Yong to spend a lot of money, the most expensive of which was this dress.

Although the other things seem to be numerous, they are actually just a fraction of the value of this dress.

"Why are you here?" Zhao Jiaheng took a deep breath and said, "Have the clothes from Dongge been delivered? These expensive clothes seem to be okay."

No, it is worth the money, and it is not extraordinarily beautiful. The only word to describe it is "ok"!

But Yin Caiwei could still sense Zhao Jiaheng's mood from his words, and turned around on the spot: "Does the Third Prince think it's good too?"

Zhao Jiaheng glanced at the girl behind her and asked, "What is she holding?"

"These are the snacks that Concubine Jing sent today." Yin Caiwei smiled and took out the plate from the food box. "Your Highness, would you like to try them?"

What are you trying to taste? Zhao Jiaheng became even angrier. Looking at the marks on the dessert, he knew that this was a gift from his mother.

The dim sum in this shop is notoriously expensive in boxes and mediocre inside, but the boss behind this shop is very capable.

Many officials use items from this store as gifts to exchange with each other. Often a box of snacks will go around, and after being delivered to your home, it will be sent to other homes.

But even so, this gift is still a must on many festivals.

Therefore, this is for viewing or giving to others, and few people actually eat it.

"When you were in the Duke's Mansion, did you ever learn how to manage a household?" Zhao Jiaheng said, holding back his temper. "You are the eldest daughter, so you should have had some experience with it!"

Yin Caiwei was slightly stunned, but immediately felt happy. Was he trying to give her the power of housekeeper?

This is good, at least she will have a lot more money on hand, and she will definitely have a great advantage before Yin Yufei comes in.

"Caiwei, I have been helping my mother with the housekeeping at home before." Yin Caiwei replied with a smile, "Although I am not very proficient, but our prince's mansion has a simple population, so I should be able to handle it."

Zhao Jiaheng nodded and said, "Mother will arrange for a few housekeepers to come here today. When they are handling the affairs of the mansion, you can just watch from the side! And learn more about the rules by the way."

After hearing this, Yin Caiwei was a little confused for a moment. Wasn't the housekeeper going to be handed over to her? Why was there something about the housekeeper aunt involved?

"Such dim sum is about to be served." Zhao Jiaheng pushed the dim sum plate. "Many officials and their wives know that this is just for show. It will never be served on a plate because no one knows how many hands it has passed through."

"But this was sent by Concubine Jing!" Although shocked by what Zhao Jiaheng had just said, Yin Caiwei still couldn't help but defend herself.

After looking at the other person, Zhao Jiaheng slowly said, "It will be Minister Xu's birthday soon. This is a gift. Now that you have opened it, I will ask someone to make another one. The money will be deducted from your monthly salary as a lesson for you.

From now on, you are not allowed to use anything that my mother sends you without my approval. Remember, you are only a concubine, not the mistress of the house."
