When the commotion came from Rouxin Courtyard, Xin Nianyan was sitting at the table, holding his face in one hand and holding a glass of water in the other, drinking slowly.

"Miss, there's news from the second lady that there's a bee commotion over there."

"I heard that being chased and stung by a swarm of bees is so tragic..."

When Xiao Zhu came over to deliver the message, she shouted misfortune, but had a gloating smile on her face.

"Let's find a doctor to take a look at her."

Xin Nianyan stretched his waist, got up and went to bed.

Didn't she like to torment bees? She had to give those bees a chance to take revenge, and she also tormented Xin Rou'er.

Those who harm you will reap the consequences, and you will sleep much better tonight.

Dreaming in the moonlight, having a good night's sleep.

The next morning, just after breakfast, Xin Nianyan heard from Xiaozhu that Xin Rouer had swollen into a pig's head and might not be able to see anyone for a long time.

"You will not live if you do your own evil."

Xin Nianyan sneered and walked towards Qingshuangyuan.

First of all, Mrs. Gu had just had a miscarriage, so it was natural for her to come to show her concern and condolences.

Secondly, she has now taken over the internal affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Previously, Zhang was responsible for these matters. In the past few months, in order to prepare for the hairpin ceremony, Gu Shuang also shared the responsibility for a period of time, which was more or less involved in some internal affairs.

In this situation, it is naturally impossible for the Zhang family to hand over the matter, so they can only come to Gu Shuang to ask.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw the maid next to the old lady standing at the entrance of the courtyard. When he saw her, he quickly bowed and saluted.

"I've met the eldest lady."

Xin Nianyan waved her hand and walked into the house.

In the bedroom, the pale Gu Shuang sat up, leaning on the bed and talking to the old lady.

Hearing the footsteps, the old lady turned around and saw Xin Nianyan, a smile suddenly appeared on her face.

"Yan'er is here."

Xin Nianyan leaned over and saluted the two of them, "Grandma, Yan'er brought some things to replenish qi and blood to see Mrs. Gu."

As he spoke, he raised his hand, and Xiao Zhu, who was behind, handed the gift in his hand to Gu Shuang's personal maid.

Xin Nianyan sat down and talked to them. After a while, the old lady left first.

Xin Nianyan then stepped aside and sat beside Gu Shuang's bed.

"How are you?" she asked softly.

"It's not a problem." Gu Shuang shook his head, "I just made my mother worry about me, and I feel bad..."

She sighed softly and did not continue what she said, but Xin Nianyan knew it well.

"The Zhang family has fallen. I took ten lashes yesterday. I think I can be honest for a while."

"I know, Forsythia told me all the news yesterday." Gu Shuang nodded.

"I heard that you have accepted the internal affairs of the house. You go to the housekeeper first to look at the account books. If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask me."

During this period, although Mrs. Zhang tried her best to keep her away from internal affairs, she still took the opportunity to infiltrate some things.

"Okay, when you get better, I will hand over all this to you." Xin Nianyan nodded.

Gu Shuang was stunned when he heard this. Although he had heard Forsythia say this last night, it was just a scene.

If you really manage the internal affairs, how can it be so easy to let go and delegate power?

"The prime minister's house always needs a mistress, and you will be much better than Mrs. Zhang."

Xin Nianyan patted her shoulder and said, "Don't let down your guard. A snake can bite even if its head is cut off."

Gu Shuang pursed her lips and nodded, watching Xin Nianyan go out.

When I walked out of Qingshuang Courtyard, the sunlight fell from the sky and broke through the shadows of the trees, seeming to bring new life to the courtyard.

As soon as they left Qingshuangyuan, they bumped into the Chen sisters who were walking in with the maid.

"Cousin, why are you here?"

Xin Nianyan felt happy and rushed to greet him.

The three sisters also looked happy. Chen Jinyu jumped into her arms and shouted excitedly.

"Sister Yan'er, my grandfather is coming back!"

Xin Nianyan was stunned, "Grandpa is coming back?"

While the others were talking, Xin Nianyan led them towards Yanyun Courtyard.

"Why is grandpa suddenly coming back and the frontier has stabilized?" Xin Nianyan asked in confusion.

She thought about it carefully and realized that it was indeed at this time in her last life that the Duke of the State was called back to report on his duties.

At that time, because of the instigation of Xin Rouer and her daughter, she felt that the solemn and majestic old Duke looked down on her, so after meeting him once, she was very resistant to meeting the old Duke.

But the old Duke left home less than half a month later.

She didn't even go to see it off at that time.

And then... and later, Qin Yan threatened the lives of Guogongfu and his family, and after surrendering his military power, he imprisoned Guogongfu and his family and executed them...

Xin Nianyan felt a pain in her heart and quickly turned her thoughts away.

Several people entered the courtyard, sat down in front of the stone table in the courtyard, and gathered together happily. Xin Nianyan asked Xiaozhu to serve some fruit refreshments, and began to ask them questions.

"Is grandpa coming back to report on his duties?"

"Yes, it has been three years since I last saw my grandfather." Chen Jinge nodded.

The generals guarding the border were not allowed to return to the capital unless summoned. Generally, the emperor would recall them once every three years to meet with the Holy Spirit to report on their duties.

"The letter of departure was sent back three days ago. I just received it today. Judging from the speed of the march, my grandfather may be able to reach the capital in another month!"

Chen Jinyan spoke excitedly. She hated arithmetic, and it was rare that her brain was so bright.

"How long will grandpa stay when he comes back this time?" Xin Nianyan asked.

"Maybe less than half a month."

Chen Jinge sighed lowly.

"Oh, you haven't come back yet, and you're sentimental in advance?" Xin Nianyan patted her back, "You should be happy now, and wait for your grandfather to come back, and spend time with him!"

"My cousin is right."

Chen Jinge nodded, and the others were filled with joy by the news that the old prince was returning to Beijing.

At noon, the sisters were left to finish their meal before they were sent away.

In the afternoon, Xin Nianyan went to the warehouse to receive the account books, and closed the door to study for half the afternoon. He finally got a rough outline of the internal affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion. It would be much easier to sort it out once he had the outline.

After finishing the housework in the mansion, it was already dark.

Xin Nianyan stretched out and knocked on his sore limbs.

"Xiao Zhu, is there anything to eat?"

Because the two ladies were in bed, dinner was delivered to each courtyard. When the dinner for Yanyun Court was delivered, Xin Nianyan was still working overtime to polish the account books and had no time to eat at all.

Now that I'm done, I remember I'm hungry.

"Yes, my slave will help you warm it up."

Xiaozhu then came in with the food that had been warmed for half an hour, and set out the dishes for her, looking extremely distressed.

"Miss, you have just started taking care of the house, and you are already working so hard..."

"It's okay, just straighten your hands."

Xin Nianyan waved her hand and started eating.

After eating and drinking, Xiaozhu packed up his things and left. Xin Nianyan stood up and faced the moon in the sky, holding on to the window and looking out.

The moon was very round, but Xin Nianyan couldn't help but think of Qin Han.

She came to her senses belatedly. She had never been to Prince Han's Mansion for so long. He came to find her every time.
