Chapter 1,224
Ling Yu forced herself to hold on, her hands pretending to be nervous as she fiddled with the hem of her clothes.
After a long time, He Qiang turned around and asked Madam Luo: "I've never seen this maid before, where did she come from?"
Madam Luo hurriedly laughed: "Ling'er was working with Madam Shopping before. Seeing that she was quick with her hands and feet and literate, I left her to help in the kitchen!"
"Housekeeper He, look, there are so many things in the kitchen, and I can't do it well without someone smart to help! She came and helped me a lot!"
"Then keep her!"
He Qiang nodded slightly before walking away.
When Ling Yu saw him walking away, she breathed a sigh of relief.
This proved that his disguise was successful and he was well prepared in advance, so He Qiang did not doubt himself.
He questioned himself before, only to meet him face to face.
But this little episode also allowed Ling Yu to see He Qiang's abilities that ordinary people didn't pay attention to.
First, He Qiang didn't read the records. He only heard his name without asking any further questions.
This proves that he has an extraordinary memory and can remember the information of all the servants in this house.
Secondly, He Qiang is very observant and can spot an unfamiliar face among so many people at a glance.
Such people are terrifying and extremely capable!
Sent as housekeeper, it’s a bit overkill!
"Ms. Luo, you have to take care of the kitchen. The wedding ceremony is a major event in Prince Rong's palace, so we must not make any mistakes!"
He Qiang scanned and found no other abnormalities, then warned: "Beware of poisoning the food. People who are not in the kitchen are strictly prohibited from entering the kitchen. If you find anyone suspicious, you must report it in time!"
"Prince Rong said, everyone, do your best, and you will be rewarded heavily if you do well!"
"Butler He, don't worry! I know this. I've done a lot of banquets in the palace, so there won't be any mistakes!"
Madam Luo smiled along with it and handed He Qiang the list of missing ingredients. He Qiang checked it and handed it over to the stewardess for purchase.
After they left, Madam Luo gave the bill to Ling Yu. Ling Yu glanced at it and whispered as if unintentionally: "Ms. Luo, your banquet was not done well! This is almost the actual price! "
Madam Luo glanced at Ling Yu in surprise, and said with a low smile: "You maid still understands the tricks here!"
"Stop talking about this. The previous cook was just greedy for this small profit. She was discovered by Butler He after just one day of work and was beaten to death in public!"
"Let's not even think about taking this kind of money. Once we have a banquet, we can just take the rewards!"
Ling Yu said in a low voice: "That's right. As slaves, we can only get stable money! King Rong married that South Vietnamese princess and entered the house. I don't know if he will treat us well!"
Madam Luo looked at the people around her who were doing things and no one was paying attention to them, so she whispered to Ling Yu.
"Don't expect anything from the Nanyue Princess! The eldest princess is staying with the Queen Mother in the palace during this period. When Prince Rong gets married, she will eventually return to Prince Rong's palace!"
"This eldest princess is the old lady of Prince Rong's Mansion. She can't let Princess Nanyue take charge of the house!"
Ling Yu saw that Madam Luo seemed to know a lot of inside information, so she asked softly: "I heard that King Rong was a sick man. He fell ill again after the emperor granted him the marriage. His illness will not affect the wedding, right?"
"Prince Rong is impatient with people who give gifts and flatter others. He claims to be sick as an excuse to the outside world. Just watch, he will definitely show up at the wedding in style!"
Ling Yu smiled coldly in her heart. As expected, Xiao Lintian was right. He Rong was just pretending to be sick.
But there is something fishy about this. Shouldn't he take advantage of the fact that the emperor is interested in him and form a clique to win over people's hearts?
Why did King Rong pretend to be ill?
