C284 (2/2)

”You … ”It's fine.” Sun Jinzi knew that this was not the best time to appoint a crown prince.

However, he didn't know what Jin Chuyi was thinking. He had suppressed it before, but now he remembered.

”No matter, we still need a target.” Ever since Jin Chupei had the intention to snatch away the direct descendant, his thoughts became more and more thoughtful. In the past, he had thought of taking three steps at a time, and now, he had to take at least five steps away.

Sun Jinzi smiled sweetly and looked at Jin Chupei. ”I already know my wrongs, can I go back to my residence now?”

She couldn't stand it. She wanted to sleep.

”Return to the estate.” Jin Chupei waved his hand and embraced Sun Jinzi.

That way, she would be warmer.

The night was getting darker and the crows were chirping. It was their destiny to be in the capital.

Because it was already the 24th of the Moon, even if Sun Jinzi wanted to return to Qian Mansion, she couldn't. After all, they had been gone for so long, and there were still many matters that she needed to take care of in the manor.

Thus, on the 24th day of the 20th month, she spent all day at the prince's mansion, doing all sorts of chores.

As a hostess, if she didn't want to be one, then no one could.

Therefore, no matter how tiring and arduous it was, he had to endure it.

It was only until sunset did he manage to take care of the miscellaneous matters that he had accumulated. However, those were just some chores in the backyard, the matters in the front courtyard, and even some favors that he had not started to take action yet.

So when Jin Chupei returned, he saw his wife leaning on the armchair with a face full of exhaustion, looking at Steward Qin, listening to him talk about the new year, how they should deliver the gifts, how they should receive the gifts, and how they should handle the new year's affairs.

”Oh, isn't there an old rule in the past years? Just do as you've done in the past. ”

Jin Chupei took a step forward and naturally held Sun Jinzi's hand, interrupting Steward Qin.

”Your Highness, you might not know this, but these old examples were all from when you were a single person. Now that we have a mistress in the mansion, we naturally have to follow the rules.” A lot of the shares and the families that move around have changed. Some of them just can't be pressed. ”

Steward Qin was also in a difficult position.

He wanted to press on it, but he needed to press on something.

In the past, they did not have any relationship with Qian Family, so it was natural that they had never met each other. However, Qian Family was now one of the families that His Highness the Sixth Prince valued the most.

The Sun family would also have to give him some face.

”Remember, if you have any urgent matters, just ask the Empress. If it's okay, then just wait and see. The big ones and the small ones will all come and trouble the Empress.” Jin Chupei looked at Sun Jinzi, and his eyes turned black.

”Yes, this little one understands.” Steward Qin did not dare to stay for a moment longer. He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would be despised to death by his own family.

”You can go down first. As for these matters and those account books, leave them behind. Let Mu Tan send them to my room later. I'll take a look at them later.”

The expression in Sun Jinzi's eyes was warm and gentle, the tone of her voice was also soft and gentle, and her expression was much better than Jin Chupei's cold face.

The Steward Qin immediately bowed and left.

Mu Tan dragged the dazed Mu Rong along with him as she carried the account book down.

”Your Highness …” It's just a small matter, but it should be settled soon. ”

”I was afraid you'd be too tired.” Jin Chupei massaged her temples thoughtfully.

”No, this is our home. Everything is related to you, to me. No matter how tired I am, no matter how trivial it is, I am not tired at all.”

As long as she thought about it, the things that she had to deal with were all related to the matter between the two of them, her heart would be filled with great power.

Especially when she thought about the fact that there was a high chance that some of these things would directly affect the direction of their future, Sun Jinzi did not dare to relax even a bit.

”As long as you're happy.” Jin Chupei was extremely satisfied with Sun Jinzi's answer. He caressed her chin and could not help but go over to kiss her.

At first, he only wanted to try it, but the surface of his lips seemed to be covered in honey. It was soft and sweet, causing him to be unable to move his mouth after kissing it.

”Ugh …” ”Your majesty, quickly go take a bath and change your clothes. You need to eat dinner.” After an unknown period of time, Sun Jinzi lightly pushed Jin Chupei, who was already unconsciously carrying her in his arms.

Looking at the time, it was finally the end of the young era. It was indeed a bit late.

Furthermore, winter had arrived, the sky had darkened early, and the Sixth Prince's Estate had long ago lit a lamp. The candlelight was dim, so no matter how many lights there were, it was barely possible to make a rough estimate.

It was night. The two of them lovingly fell asleep.

On the second day, Jin Chupei still went to the imperial court early in the morning, while Sun Jinzi stayed in the mansion to take care of the matters that had accumulated there.

Because of her past life's experience, Sun Jinzi took care of this matter very quickly.

He made all the examples of gifts before noon.

The Steward Qin could not help but open his eyes wide.

”Esteemed wangfei is truly amazing! I've been exploring the estate by myself for a long time, but I couldn't find a way. But you … you've only been here half a day and already …”

The respect and reverence Steward Qin had for Sun Jinzi at this time was simply like an endless torrent of water.

”Alright, stop trying to fool me. We're really going to make arrangements. We came back a little late, so it's fine to send it off a day or two later.” If it's too late, it doesn't make sense. ”

”Yes …” ”Yes, this little one will arrange it right away.”

Steward Qin's middle-aged face was filled with shrewdness and competence.

Sun Jinzi laughed and waved her hand.
