Quick Wear: The Enchanting Concubine, Rules of Survival and Plunder

Chapter 648: Prince Zhuang's Concubine 8

Nanny Zhou walked in from outside after Prince Zhuang left. Because she was afraid that she could not control her inner hatred towards Prince Zhuang, Nanny Zhou naturally tried her best to avoid Prince Zhuang and would not show up in front of him if possible.

After Madam Zhou asked the two maids in the room to leave, she asked, "Miss, what does Prince Zhuang want to see you about? I saw Prince Zhuang leaving from behind, and his steps looked like he was furious."

"It's nothing, I just choked King Zhuang, so he couldn't stand it," Jiang Chunxi said as she came to sit on the couch, "King Zhuang wanted to give me the power of housekeeper in the mansion, but I refused."

"Ha!" Jiang Chunxi sneered, "It seems like handing over the stewardship to me is a great bargain for me. You don't even think about the fact that the so-called stewardship of the Zhuang Palace is a thankless task. I must have thought too hard to accept the stewardship."

Prince Zhuang was out of favor, so naturally the money in the palace was very tight. Add to that the holidays and social interactions, and the money was even more scarce.

In the original owner's previous life, she took over the housekeeping power and almost used up all of her dowry into it. She tried her best to help King Zhuang with the housekeeping, but King Zhuang did not seem grateful to her, so she said that King Zhuang was a beast in human skin.

"Yes! Young lady is right," Nanny Zhou agreed, "As for a beast like Prince Zhuang, if you take over the housekeeping power and manage the mansion in an orderly manner, so that he doesn't have to worry about anything, he will not be grateful for your hard work."

"But if you do anything wrong, he will definitely blame you. Under such circumstances, if you really take over the stewardship, it will be a thankless task. Only the beast King Zhuang thinks that giving you the stewardship is a bargain."

"Puh!" Madam Zhou said with a loud spit. "If I could, I would really like to point my finger at Prince Zhuang and scold him for being so shameless. How could he have the nerve to act like a benefactor and make the position of housekeeper of Prince Zhuang's mansion seem like a hot commodity?"

"Okay, Mammy, it's late at night, don't be angry," Jiang Chunxi yawned as she spoke, "I'm sleepy, Mammy, please help me get some rest!"

In the next few days, Jiang Chunxi did not see King Zhuang again, while Concubine Yu and Concubine Jiang came to accompany Jiang Chunxi every day to drink tea, chat, and play mahjong.

Thanks to Jiang Chunxi's warning, Concubine Yu and Concubine Jiang have had a much better life these days. The servants under them no longer dare to deduct their share, and naturally they no longer dare to be perfunctory about food.

In short! These few days have allowed Concubine Yu and Concubine Jiang to finally experience the life that their master should live.

Although they were only concubines, even if they were concubines, they were still masters! Just like the lower-ranking concubines in the palace, they were masters no matter how big or small, but if they were not favored or had no one to protect them, their lives would be worse than those of slaves with good looks.

That day, Jiang Chunxi sent away Concubine Yu and Concubine Jiang, and then heard Lian Yao report that someone had come to the Jiang residence.

The person who came was Nanny Kong, Jiang's mother's trusted nanny.

"I pay my respects to the Concubine." As soon as Nanny Kong came in, she bowed respectfully to Jiang Chunxi.

"Madame Kong, please get up quickly," Jiang Chunxi asked Madame Kong to get up with a smile, "I wonder what instructions mother sent you here for."

"Madam Concubine, isn't your aunt's death anniversary in three days? So Madam sent me here to ask you if you want to go back on the anniversary of your aunt's death." said Madam Kong.

"Of course I have to go back," Jiang Chunxi's eyes turned red as she spoke, "Time flies by so fast! I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, my aunt's death anniversary is coming again."

"Madame Kong, go back and tell mother that I will be back in three days. Also tell mother that Prince Zhuang might accompany me back that day, so let mother make preparations." Madame Kong was mother Jiang's confidant, so she must have known about Prince Zhuang's dirty thoughts.

Nanny Kong naturally already knew what kind of beast King Zhuang was. When she learned about this, she was so angry that she was fuming.

So after hearing what Jiang Chunxi said, there was nothing to understand. That beast Prince Zhuang would definitely not miss the opportunity to go to the Jiang family.

"Don't worry, Concubine. I will tell Madam your words truthfully," Madam Kong said as she bowed to Jiang Chunxi again. "Then I will go back first."

"Madame Zhou," Jiang Chunxi said to her quickly, "please send Madame Kong off for me."

After hearing Jiang Chunxi's instructions, Nanny Zhou walked towards Nanny Kong affectionately and said, "Old sister, let me take you out of the house. Let's take this opportunity to have a good talk."

Nanny Kong was not a snobbish person. She would not look down on others just because she was Jiang's mother's confidant. Therefore, when they were in Jiang's house, Nanny Zhou got along well with her.

"That's great," Madam Kong held Madam Zhou's hand affectionately, "Since you followed the Third Miss to marry into Prince Zhuang's Mansion, we two old sisters haven't had a good chat for quite some time. Let's take this opportunity today to have a good chat for a while."

As Madam Kong's voice fell, the two of them walked outside intimately.

Of course, the so-called chatting between the two was just casual talk. Knowing the situation in Prince Zhuang's mansion, they would not talk about the topic of that beast Prince Zhuang.

When Prince Zhuang returned home in the evening, he immediately learned that someone from the Jiang family had come today. Without even bothering to go back to the front yard to wash up, he hurried to the yard where Jiang Chunxi lived.

As soon as he arrived at Jiang Chunxi's yard, Prince Zhuang got straight to the point and asked, "I heard someone from the Jiang family came today. Is there anything going on?"

Jiang Chunxi personally served tea to King Zhuang as she did before, and then she said, "It will be my aunt's death anniversary in three days, so my stepmother sent someone to ask me if I want to go back to pay respect to my aunt."

Prince Zhuang frowned slightly, obviously very unhappy. He would naturally not miss the opportunity to go to the Jiang family, but when he thought about having to accompany Jiang Chunxi back to the Jiang family for the anniversary of his concubine's death, Prince Zhuang felt very uncomfortable.

After all, in order to put on a good show in front of Jiang's father and mother, he had to burn incense to Jiang Chunxi's biological mother.

He was a prince, but he had to burn incense to a lowly concubine. It would be strange if King Zhuang was happy about it.

"Since it is your aunt's death anniversary, then of course I have to accompany you back." Although he felt uncomfortable, Prince Zhuang still decided to accompany Jiang Chunxi back to the Jiang family.

"Then I would like to thank the prince," Jiang Chunxi said with gratitude, "I am just a humble concubine. For my soul to be worshipped by the prince with a stick of incense is like burning incense."
