Hearing these words, Daohua’s eyes flashed with coldness, yet her face feigned shyness as she said, "Sister-in-law is experienced, why do you make fun of me? Weren’t you the same when you first married into the Prince Residence?"
Luo Qiong was at a loss for words; she had not expected Daohua to respond like this.
Was she really like this when she got married?
Of course not.
Not to mention sleeping until mid-morning, she had to get up early to attend to Princess Consort Ma.
Comparing their situations, Luo Qiong felt uneasy. Looking at Daohua’s happily blushing face, she found it extremely irritating and didn’t want to talk further. She said directly, "Fourth sister has returned after her third visit to her mother’s home. Mother has said that from today, you should start performing your morning and evening duties for her."
Daohua looked at Luo Qiong in astonishment and blurted out, "Is the Princess Consort ill?"
Luo Qiong’s mouth twitched again as she stood up: "I have passed on Mother’s message. How you handle it is up to you, second younger sister-in-law. I won’t disturb you anymore. I’m leaving."
After Luo Qiong left the room, Daohua slammed the tea cup she was holding onto the table and said to Wang Manman, "Within three days, compile a list of all the servants working in Pingxi Hall. Don’t worry about their personal connections."
She had decided, she would not keep any of these servants.
Wang Manman looked at Daohua, knowing she was angered. The eldest sister-in-law came without prior notice, and the news of Daohua sleeping in had been leaked, which also infuriated her.
Wang Manman turned and left, quickly going to tally the servants.
Daohua then had Bi Shi call Xiaoliu.
"I had asked you to select maids and nannies from the various estates and teach them proper conduct. How is that going?"
Since the Emperor had decreed her marriage, Daohua had Xiaoliu start on this task, even hiring a nanny from the palace specialized in training maids for large households to conduct training on the estates.
Xiaoliu: "Replying to miss, the training in rules and etiquette is almost complete. However, these maids have limited experience, after training for so long, they can only handle menial tasks."
Daohua: "That’s not a problem, as long as they are sincere." She didn’t need skilled managerial talents; as long as these people followed the rules she had set and worked well in their positions, that was enough.
"Prepare for this, in a few days, I might have these people start working in the residence."
