Why My Domineering Prince Regretted Filing for Divorce?-Chapter 60: Go to the East Courtyard, See Mother

Only hearing her clearly say: "This package contains five hundred taels of silver, besides renovating the house, it also covers the workers’ wages. Remember to buy some paper materials as well."

"Yes."

"When the work is done, return early to report back so I can settle the accounts on my side."

"I understand, Aunt Hui, please rest assured."

After speaking, the two took the silver, turned around, and got on the carriage, quickly leaving Yuwen Mansion.

Shang Ruyi watched the carriage disappear at the end of the long street, then turned back to meet Aunt Hui’s gaze. She stepped forward with a bright smile, greeting: "Young Madam is back."

Shang Ruyi smiled and said: "Aunt Hui, you must have worked hard. I wonder, just now, who were they—?"

Aunt Hui replied: "Those two were going to renovate the house in Luoyang."

"The house in Luoyang?"

"Yes, the Duke also has a residence within Luoyang City, but he has been away on duty for the last two years, leaving most of the house empty and unoccupied. Recently, with all the rain, several buildings have been damaged, so we’re sending someone to repair it."

"I see, I heard that the timber in Luoyang is not cheap."

"The Young Madam knows about this?"

"I heard about it when I was back home and my aunt was managing the household."

Aunt Hui smiled slightly and said: "This is just right, my age is catching up to me and my eyesight is failing, I’m quite worried about it. If the Young Madam knows these things, could you possibly help me keep an eye on this account book?"

With that, she handed over the account book she was holding.

Tushere’s expression hardened, glancing at Shang Ruyi.

But Shang Ruyi waved her hand and said: "Aunt Hui, you’re joking, the Duke Mansion is such a big household, how could a young child like me understand it. Since my father has entrusted household matters to you, it’s inevitable that you would need to take on more work."

Aunt Hui said: "Young Madam, really not going to look?"

Shang Ruyi smiled and said: "Aunt Hui, please don’t laugh at me for being lazy. Yesterday, I hurt my finger in the military and the whip injury on my back was aggravated by riding. I just went to the medical center to see the doctor, who insisted I must rest and recover, saying under no circumstances should I overwork. He also prescribed quite a few medicines for me."

With these words, trying to persuade her any further would seem inconsiderate.

Aunt Hui glanced at the packages of medicine in Tushere’s hand and, seeing they were indeed plentiful, smiled and said: "In that case, the Young Madam should have a good rest."

"Yes,"

Shang Ruyi spoke, taking a box of fruit snacks from Tushere’s hand and handing it to her with a smile: "By the way, I saw these fruits on the street today and thought they looked good, so I bought some. This box is for Aunt Hui, I hope you won’t dislike it."

Aunt Hui’s eyes sparkled, reaching out to take the box: "Thank you, Young Madam."

"Aunt Hui, please, there’s no need to be formal."

Ruyi watched her walk away with a smiling face, then turned back and took another box of fruit snacks from Tushere’s hand to give to the two guards who had followed her out.

The two were startled for a moment: "This—"

Shang Ruyi said: "You brothers have been working hard these past days, take this box of fruits and share it among yourselves."

Overwhelmed, the two hastily took it and thanked her: "Thank you for your generosity, Young Madam."

Shang Ruyi waved her hand with a smile, and then entered the mansion with Tushere. frёeweɓηovel_coɱ

After walking for a while, Tushere looked back with a slightly dissatisfied tone: "Miss, so the prettiest box you saved was for her?"

"Why, should I not have given it to her?"

"It’s not that you shouldn’t have, just that spending so much on her might be wasteful."

Shang Ruyi laughed.

As they walked further inside, Tushere noticed that the path they took was not returning to the room but heading east. Tushere quietly asked: "Miss, where are we going?"

Shang Ruyi replied: "To the East Courtyard, to see Mother."
