Reborn, seduced the prince and killed his wife to become his favorite concubine

Chapter 30 Give the butler an idea, want the butler's power?

But who would have known that Shen Zhishu looked so frightened that his face turned pale.

"I won't do that next time. I promise that if she comes again tomorrow, I will personally greet her and send her off. I will never give her this opportunity."

The hand she hastily raised was still trembling slightly.

His eyes were wide open, just like copper bells.

She looked so pitiful.

Yan Chu felt a little bit sorry for her and subconsciously grabbed her wrist and asked her to put her hand down.

Just a gentle grip revealed that her wrist was so slender and boneless.

For a moment, he didn't want to let go.

"My Lord, have I caused you trouble unintentionally?"

Yan Chu hadn't let go yet, but Shen Zhishu didn't give him a chance to dodge and grabbed his big hand with her backhand. Her fair and slender fingers were not as big as his, and under the candlelight, the two hands overlapped together, with distinct skin colors.

She is really as white as jade.

"It's not a big deal. It's just that Miss Zhao will get married in the future. If this gets out, it will be bad for her."

"But A Rui said that she loves Master Li and she can't live without him. I also think that with Master Li's talent, he has a great chance of passing the imperial examination. If... if Master Li passes the imperial examination, wouldn't it be like lovers finally getting married? Wouldn't it be a beautiful story in the world?"

Shen Zhishu acted a little ignorant and pretended to be naive.

"That's true."

It seems that the two of them do have an affair.

It’s no wonder that this discovery made Yan Chu quite happy.

"Your Majesty, can you please keep Arui's matter a secret for now?"

When Shen Zhishu saw the corners of his mouth slightly curved, he knew that his goal had been achieved.

Then he realized belatedly that he had sold out Arui's secrets without thinking.

"How can I interfere in a woman's affairs?"

Yan Chu smiled even more deeply when he saw her expression.

Shen Zhishu gratefully poured him tea, but found that the tea was gone.

"Bitao, change the tea."

When Yan Chu came to his senses, he found that it was already late. He had drunk a whole pot of tea and eaten a lot of snacks without realizing it.

"No need, I have to go now, you should get some rest."

I just came here to talk about business, but I didn't expect time to pass so quickly.

"My Lord, then...please take care."

Shen Zhishu stood up with him and even sent him to the door.

"Master, we have already brewed several pots of tea, why don't you let your servant bring it in?"

Bitao was a little confused.

In her opinion, it was because of a pot of tea that reminded the prince to leave, otherwise the prince might have stayed in Wang Academy tonight.

"If you drink any more, it will be bad for your skin. Just take a shower and go to bed."

If you force him to stay, he will definitely not agree. Why bother?

As for Li Yan's matter, if it is handled well, it will be of great benefit to me.

Li Yan is the prince's right-hand man, and Arui has a close relationship with me. So, wouldn't her relationship with the prince be close?

For example, tonight, he came here specifically to find out what Arui felt.

As long as Li Yan performs normally in this imperial examination and has the support of the King of Qin, his career should be smooth.

By using Li Yan, the prince can win over the Zhao family. How can he not seize the opportunity in front of him?

But she didn't expect that the prince would actually care about eating.

Early the next morning.

Butler Zhou personally delivered five pounds of fresh shrimp.

But the housekeeper only said that when the main kitchen was purchasing fresh goods today, they saw that the shrimps were good, so they bought more. Since the concubine had a small kitchen, he sent some to her.

Could it be that the prince ate her shrimps last night and sent them to her today?

Shen Zhishu didn't believe that the big kitchen would buy extra fresh shrimps and bring them here as a favor.

But now I can only pretend to be deceived.

"Thank you for your concern, Steward Zhou. I really like eating shrimp."

As he spoke, he gestured to Bitao to grab a handful of gold leaves and pass them out.

Zhou Fu was very happy about the reward from the concubine.

Being in this position, he didn't really care about money, but the shrimps were specially sent by the prince on his behalf, so Zhou Fu knew that the prince still cared about this concubine.

This is the first time I have seen the concubine. Her appearance is impeccable, she is kind and generous to others, and she knows how to deal with things in a timely manner. Unlike their princess, she always looks down on others and looks down on them.

He had heard that the servants under the concubine all lived well. Now that he was holding the heavy gold leaves, he had a deep understanding of the situation.

"Thank you for the reward, Concubine Shen. I still have a lot of things to deal with in the front yard, so I'll take my leave now."

Having said that, he was not in a hurry to leave immediately.

Shen Zhishu curled up the corners of his mouth slightly.

"Butler Zhou is deeply trusted by the prince. I guess the butler is responsible for all matters in the mansion, big or small?"

Zhou Fu bent over with the corners of his mouth slightly raised. It seems that the concubine is not only kind to others, but also very smart.

"In reply to Concubine, I am in charge of all matters in the front yard of the palace. Originally, the princess should have taken care of the affairs of the front yard, but our princess is different from others. She has an official position and official duties. Therefore, I have always been in charge of the back yard to discipline the servants, distribute monthly wages, and manage the food, clothing and expenses of the palace."

What he said was quite detailed.

The princess is a person who doesn't care about things, so she is the only one who handles everything in the mansion, both big and small, that she should and shouldn't be involved in.

"I have devoted myself to the palace willingly, but I am old and unable to do my best. It would be great if Concubine Shen could take over the affairs of the princess's backyard."

In the end, he was being direct enough.

Because the princess simply didn't bother to care about these trivial matters, and there were only two female masters in the palace, the princess and the concubine, so it was reasonable for him to say so.

"The housekeeper is really hard-working, but the housekeeper's responsibility lies with the princess, and I cannot take over and let the master blame me."

Can I just pick it up?

Zhou Fu wanted her to replace the princess, but with Su Rong's personality, even if she didn't care about the princess's power and responsibilities in the palace, if she dared to take the place, she would definitely rush over to hold her accountable in the next second.

She would not give the princess a chance to cause trouble for her.

Zhou Fu was really disappointed when he heard this.

There's no reason why all the things should be put on him. It's really tiring.

"The housekeeper has worked so hard, why not claim to be sick and take a rest for two days? As for the responsibilities of the backyard, I think the princess is unable to worry about it, but there are many capable people around her, maybe someone can take care of this matter. Why don't the housekeeper sincerely ask the princess for help?"

She would not give Su Rong the opportunity to cause trouble, but that did not mean she could not let Su Rong give the opportunity to her.

At that moment, he was very serious about helping the housekeeper.

"No matter how powerful he is, he is still a servant, right? It is not reasonable for a servant to be the housekeeper in a royal palace."

Zhou Fu shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Our princess may have her own plans. Butler Zhou doesn't need to worry too much. You must learn to let go of your responsibilities and make your life easier."

You see, even Zhou Fu knows this simple truth, but Su Rong, a time-traveling girl, doesn’t think so.

She smiled and continued to persuade.

Zhou Fuben wanted to refuse, but another handful of gold leaves was handed to him.
