The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!-Chapter 524: Princess Mansion

However, Su Yuexian had managed the household for over a decade, and her authority still lingered. These servants did not dare to strike too hard; they were gentle, deliberately avoiding bones and only hitting the flesh.

Lady Wu quickly noticed this, but she said nothing and merely remembered the appearances of the two women wielding the sticks.

Enough had been done today to make a point. If she fussed about this further, it would only make Jiang Zhongxing dislike her.

When the stick landed for the twenty-ninth time, Jiang Youzhi suddenly stood up, "Weren’t we going to see Grandmother? When are we going?"

Jiang Zhongxing stood up with him, "If you’re not tired, shall we go now?"

Jiang Youzhi nodded, "I think it’s better to visit Grandmother sooner rather than later."

Lady Wu hesitated for a moment, "Then I will go as well."

Jiang Zhongxing was overjoyed; his mother had never been fond of Lady Wu and had opposed their marriage back then.

If he hadn’t petitioned the Emperor at court to grant the marriage, he wouldn’t have been able to marry Lady Wu.

Lady Wu had also avoided the Princess Mansion due to the Princess’s dislike for her, so it was unexpected that she volunteered to go this time.

The three of them then rose and walked out together.

As they walked, Jiang Zhongxing discussed with Lady Wu, "What do you think about arranging for our son to stay in Yongning Yard? It’s the closest courtyard to the main residence, and it’s on the east side."

"It will be convenient for us to visit him."

Lady Wu nodded, "Yes, that sounds good."

Housekeeper Lin, trailing behind, quickly gestured to the accompanying stewards, "Hurry, quickly go and tidy up Yongning Yard."

"Open the storeroom, select the best bedding and furnishings."

The stewards quickly gathered the servants and went to prepare the rear courtyard.

When Jiang Youzhi and his family of three reached the carriage hall, the servants kneeling on the ground finally got up.

The maids from Aunt Su’s courtyard and Jiang Han’s servant maids hurried forward to carry their masters inside and called for the steward to fetch the Imperial Physician.

The Princess Mansion wasn’t too far from the Duke Mansion.

The carriage took no more than two quarters of an hour to arrive.

A guard had already ridden ahead to report to the Princess Mansion.

The side gate of the Princess Mansion was open, and the carriage drove straight in.

After the few of them got off the carriage, a nanny approached, about to speak, but upon seeing Lady Wu, she paused in surprise.

Then she noticed Jiang Youzhi, and her eyes widened.

However, the moment passed, and she regained her composure, saluting the group, "Duke, the Princess is waiting for you in Rongxi Hall."

The group changed into sedan chairs and headed to Rongxi Hall.

They dismounted outside the flower gate.

The nanny led them inside.

Up ahead was a stone-sculpted screen wall; after turning past it, there were covered walkways on both sides. In front were a few reception halls, and further inside was a row of five main rooms.

When they reached the main rooms, a young maid drew up the thick brocade door curtain and announced, "The Duke has arrived."

Jiang Youzhi followed behind Lady Wu as they entered, and his feet slightly sank, realizing that the ground was covered with thick carpeting.

He immediately felt warmth enveloping him, but seeing no fire basin, he guessed there was underfloor heating.

Glancing around, he estimated there were about twenty or thirty palace maids and nannies inside, all standing quietly with their heads bowed.

The Duke of England walked in briskly, bowing towards the head seat, "Mother, your son has come to see you."

An elderly lady with graying hair was half-reclining on an Arhat couch, smiling, "What has brought you here today?"

She slowly straightened up and then saw Lady Wu.

A complex expression flickered across her face, followed by a calm nod towards Lady Wu, "You have come too."
