Chapter 804 Begonia Spring
Jin Huan stared at the jade dew dumplings that had rolled all over the ground, and a feeling of regret welled up in her heart.
Instead of answering Wang Ze's question immediately, he looked at the cook kneeling on the ground.
His tone was flat, revealing little emotion, but his words were anything but polite: "The servants in this mansion each have their own duties. What does the master's words have to do with you? Why are you so flustered? I'll punish you by deducting half a month's salary. Do you have any objections?"
"Thank you very much, Madam Shen!"
The cook hurriedly kowtowed to express her gratitude.
All the servants in the mansion, except those who came from Chang'an with their master, had their indentures in the hands of the steward.
She spilled the nobleman's pastries. If it were any other master with a bad temper, he might have sold her out with a single word, or given her a few lashes, which would have been the least of her worries. She was only fined half a month's salary, and she was naturally very grateful.
"Make another one."
"Yes!"
Li Jie became increasingly engrossed in watching. Even when Haitang was angry and her hair was falling down, she was still so beautiful!
However, what's wrong with my brother? He has to handle such a small matter himself. If this were in the Prince Qi's mansion, he would have already sent a slave trader to sell such a clumsy servant!
Why should the crabapple tree suffer the indignity itself?
Li Yin looked at Jin Huan with the same admiration. It was a good thing that the woman was kind-hearted, but it was important to see how she used that kindness.
The most undesirable trait among royal women is to be overly lenient. If every servant commits a crime and the mistress forgives them, how can the inner quarters be peaceful? Without rules, there can be no order.
Huan'er's actions were perfectly timed, swift and decisive, yet restrained. However, if it were him, he would have certainly been much harsher in establishing his authority for the first time.
It's better to be feared by ten thousand people than to be liked by ten thousand.
The latter is far more useful than the former.
After finishing this matter, Jin Huan slowly looked up at Wang Ze and said, "I once truly loved you."
Everyone was completely stunned when they heard this!
What a confusing statement!
They could almost picture their master's fury and his disgust for Madam Shen!
But Li Yin's reaction disappointed everyone...
His reaction can be simply summarized as no reaction.
After all, he was a man who had personally heard Jin Huan admit that he had dozens of lovers. How could his mental fortitude be compared to that of these naive and unsophisticated ordinary people?
Wang Ze's eyes reddened: "After the lantern festival, I searched for you for a long time."
Jin Huan raised an eyebrow, a rare hint of surprise appearing in her beautiful, watery eyes: "I told you that."
"I thought you were angry because I didn't buy you the last candy figurine, and that's why you were leaving in a huff."
She picked up the teacup beside her, took a small sip, and said nothing more.
Li Jie was initially impatient with tea, but seeing how gracefully she drank it, he followed suit, picked up his teacup, and took a sip, pretending to be refined. The tea, which he usually found tasteless, inexplicably tasted slightly sweet to this rough man.
Given Wang Ze's temperament, he would have turned his back and left long ago if he had been treated so coldly.
Now that he has fulfilled his desires, he stubbornly refuses to leave.
Even someone of the Crown Prince's status is indifferent to my existence. If that's the case, if I still put on airs in front of her, I'm afraid I'll never have a chance with her in this lifetime.
There is only one thing he still harbors resentment about.
Wang Ze, facing Jin Huan, pointed to Yang Fang, who was standing blankly to the side: "Why does he also have that small wooden plaque?"
Jin Huan put down her teacup and said casually, "Because I once truly loved him too."
"Pfft!" Li Jie spat out the tea he had just drunk!
