Chapter 940: Chapter 801: Taking Over Pingxi Hall (Three-in-One Mega Chapter)_4

"The moment these words came out, Luo Qiong and Xiao Yechang, among others, internally exclaimed in unison that this was indeed Yan Yiyi, the one who dared not to serve tea to the Princess Consort that day."

Prince Pingxi fell silent for two seconds, contemplating his legitimate son’s hot temper, then thought of his daughter-in-law, who looked sweet and lovely but was ruthless in action. For the stability of the Prince Residence, he decisively said, "Mm... in fact, this Prince feels it’s unnecessary, the Princess Consort is not your birth mother, you don’t need to pay her respects."

"Prince!" Princess Consort Ma shouted out, looking incredulously at Prince Pingxi, "Prince, I am your primary consort."

Prince Pingxi frowned displeasure, "This Prince did not say you are not the primary consort." He gestured towards Luo Qiong, "Don’t you have your own daughter-in-law? If she pays her respects to you morning and evening, isn’t that enough? Why bother Yan girl? Yan girl has to manage the affairs of Pingxi Hall, she is very busy, where does she have the time to run every day?"

Princess Consort Ma’s face was filled with anger, glaring fiercely at Daohua.

Daohua didn’t mind and said cheerfully, "This daughter-in-law will listen to Father-in-Law." She paused, then continued, "Father-in-Law, speaking of affairs concerning Pingxi Hall, there is indeed one thing I would like to ask for your decision."

Prince Pingxi said briskly, "For matters of Pingxi Hall, you make the decisions, there is no need to ask this Prince."

Daohua smiled, "You are an elder, and I have just married into the Prince Residence, there are many things I don’t understand, I indeed need your guidance."

Prince Pingxi was flattered and comfortable, "What is it?"

Daohua: "I’m not used to the servants in Pingxi Hall."

Upon hearing this, Princess Consort Ma’s eyelids twitched, and the way others looked at Daohua changed completely.

Prince Pingxi said with an indifferent face, "Servants are there to serve their masters, if you are not used to them, replace them."

Daohua laughed, "I’ll follow Father-in-Law’s words." Seeing that Princess Consort Ma seemed about to say something, she quickly spoke ahead, "Father-in-Law, don’t you like to eat fresh flower cakes? When I’ve made them, I’ll send some over."

Prince Pingxi nodded repeatedly, "Good, good, good, I want the same kind as last time, the taste was very much to this Prince’s liking."

In her heart, Daohua thought, how could the taste not be good, it was made from roses grown in the space’s black soil.

Watching Daohua who had drawn Prince Pingxi’s attention away, and then looking at the defeated Princess Consort Ma, Xiao Yechang and Xiao Yuhua all inwardly marveled at the powerful combat strength of their second sister-in-law.

Luo Qiong had mixed feelings. As Xiao Yechen’s wife, she was on the same boat as Princess Consort Ma, and rationally, she should assist in suppressing Xiao Yeyang and his wife; however, emotionally, she found pleasure in seeing her mother-in-law getting dealt with by Yan Yiyi.

...

Half an hour later, Daohua came out from Pingxi Hall refreshed, nodded at Xiao Yechang and Xiao Yuhua, and headed back to Pingxi Hall with her maid.

Xiao Yuhua: "Why does Father show so much favor to our second sister-in-law?"

Xiao Yechang: "Father’s favor is not towards the second sister-in-law, but towards the second brother. Haven’t you noticed, since the engagement with the second sister-in-law was set, the relationship between the second brother and Father has eased a lot."

"It was not easy for the second brother to return to the Prince Residence, and with the relationship between the Princess Consort and him, the Princess Consort insisting on the second sister-in-law paying her respects every day—Isn’t this an obvious provocation? For the stability of the Prince Residence, Father would not agree."

Xiao Yuhua looked at Xiao Yechang in surprise, "Third Brother, why are you so talkative today?"

Xiao Yechang smiled lightly, "Just chatting, now, if you will excuse me, I have other matters. My sisters, please feel free to do as you wish." With that, he turned and left.

Meanwhile, after Daohua returned to Pingxi Hall, she had Deshou summon those who had pledged allegiance to Xiao Yeyang.

Soon, Deshou brought the people.

In all, there were four people, two men and two women, all a bit older, around forty years of age or so.

"Greetings to the second mistress."

Daohua surveyed the five people, "You are old servants of the Prince Residence, I heard you were all butlers. Speak up about what you are each responsible for, so that I can assign tasks appropriately."

The first to reply, a stern-faced old maid with not a hair out of place, said, "Second mistress, I am in charge of training the maids and matrons in the residence; everyone calls me Mother Hua."

Daohua nodded, "Keep your duties as before, and from now on, you will manage the maids and matrons in Pingxi Hall."

The remaining three included a married couple.

Afterward, a middle-aged man with a shrewd appearance stepped forward, "Servant Ping Ji here, and this is my wife. I’m in charge of relaying messages at the gatehouse."

The wife of Ping Ji continued, "I am responsible for patrolling and locking up the backyard at night."

Daohua didn’t say anything and looked toward the last person.

Ping Qing said, "Servant Ping Qing, responsible for the management of the carriages and horses."

After listening, Daohua spoke, "In my service, everyone only gets one chance. Should anyone harbor a double heart, for whatever reason, they will be dealt with severely. You came here by your own initiative, and both I and the second master trust your sincerity. I hope you don’t disappoint us." freewēbnoveℓ.com

All five immediately expressed their loyalty, "This servant (This maid) harbors no second thoughts."

Daohua said, "Your duties will remain the same. In two days, all the servants at Pingxi Hall will be replaced. Make sure you manage your subordinates well." Saying this, she glanced at Wang Manman.

Wang Manman immediately took out a handbook for the management system that she had prepared earlier and distributed it among the four people.

Daohua said, "I don’t need you to be highly capable, just follow the regulations and manage people accordingly."

Over the years, managing estates and businesses, Daohua had accumulated considerable experience in managing people and how to make the servants work efficiently and willingly.

Pingxi Hall was her home, and she needed it to operate effectively.

Two days later, Xiaoliu brought the maids and matrons Daohua had requested into the Prince Residence. Then, Wang Manman called all the servants of Pingxi Hall to the main courtyard.

The entire courtyard was packed, with new people on one side and the old ones on the other.

Daohua didn’t mince words, "I only need loyal people here. If anyone has a double heart, they should return to where they came from." With that, she looked toward the side with the old servants, "You may leave."

As soon as she said this, the old servants immediately began to cry and make a fuss.

Daohua sat unmoved, raising her eyes to glance at the four elder maids.

The four, without a word, chose some strong and sturdy matrons and charged toward the old servants.

Whatever the elder maids said, it wasn’t long before the old servants listlessly let the new matrons drive them out of Pingxi Hall.

Seeing this, Daohua’s face revealed a faint smile. She stood up and returned to her room. As for those old servants who had left, she left it to Princess Consort to worry about.

Wang Manman, accompanied by Guyu, Lixia, and Bi Shi, began assigning duties to everyone.

With the four elder maids overseeing, the new maids and matrons, albeit still somewhat unfamiliar, were able to maintain the normal operation of Pingxi Hall without any problems.

When other people in the Prince Residence heard that Daohua had replaced all the previous servants of Pingxi Hall, they were incredulous.

Luo Qiong, seeing the maids that Princess Consort had placed in her own courtyard, felt increasingly frustrated. Being a daughter-in-law of the Prince Residence herself, why could Yan Yiyi do whatever she wanted while she had to endure everything?

After all, her family background and origins were far superior to Yan Yiyi’s!

That evening, when Xiao Yeyang returned to the residence and heard about the incident, he embraced Daohua and gave her a barrage of passionate kisses without any logic.

Daohua struggled mightily to push him away, "What are you doing?"

Xiao Yeyang held Daohua tightly, laughing, "I’m happy, how can my wife be so formidable? You just decisively switched out the people."

Daohua reached up to wrap her arms around Xiao Yeyang’s neck, her smile sweet and proud, "I dare to do this because I have your protection."

Xiao Yeyang’s hand, placed on Daohua’s waist, slowly started moving downward, "Then how will you thank me?"

Daohua’s smile vanished, and she struggled to get out of Xiao Yeyang’s embrace, "Tonight, I made rice wine steamed duck. You should eat more of it, nourish yourself well."

Xiao Yeyang nestled his head in Daohua’s neck, rubbing continuously, "Let’s nourish together."
