五十一 Managing the household
New estate. New servants. New master.
It was dawn when the man woke up, his eyes cold and vigilant before slowly repressing the dark emotions he has in his eyes; next, he moved from the bed with agile movements, his back wide forming a sharp contrast to his narrow waist. Although his movements didn't alarm the servants it was enough for the woman in the sheets to frown before opening her eyes.
"Your highness?" Her voice was soft and dazed, eyes glancing into the man who has now worn a new inner robe.
"Sleep, my wangfei" he kissed in piousness the woman on the bed, her eyes watery and pitiful that he couldn't help but bully her.
Soft groans fell on the woman's rugby, swollen lips after the man left her. The doors opened and an order for the mistress to rest more was given before she fell into a deep sleep.
Fu Jun Bei left to enter the garden, called for his trusted servant and battled with him. It took him almost an hour before he ended his practice, went to the latrine and washed his sweated body. His skin was pale white and his body toned from years of practice in martial arts, as he entered his wife's yard a servant gave information that the mistress has woken up.
"My wangfei seems to be full of strength, yesterday night you kept-"
"Your highness!" The woman flushed in embarrassment arouses his appetite but it was restrained.
Those pair of apricot eyes may look at him in affection and shyness but he knew those just masked. He wasn't just sure if her mask has already integrated with herself, that is why his attention was even more piqued by her ability to compromise and act.
"Your highness is too much!" Her coquettish act seems to be taken from her nature that it was so natural for her.
"Alright, my wangfei is too shy"
Fu Jun Bei then made orders to let the servants leave and was amused by the puffing of annoyance on the woman's cheeks.
He caressed her head as they waited for the meal to be delivered, no one talked and it was a pleasant breakfast filled with hidden schemes and thoughts.
"I will be leaving now for the morning court-" he looked at the woman in front of him, the one that made his blood surged in excitement. "-make sure my wangfei's needs are met"
"Yes, master!" Steward Bo acquire into his master's order and prepared the carriage for the master's trip to the palace.
Soon, the fourth prince left and it was only her that was left in this estate. The five-day wedding leave has finally expired, it was time for the fourth prince to do his work in the palace.
Meng Jia Yi's eyes that were still overflowing in bashfulness turned sharp; she turned her sight to Steward Bo who was the trusted steward in this estate— one who would also be the stumbling block in her plans.
"I would trouble Steward Bo this day" her tone was apologetic.
"Do not worry Madam, Master has entrusted you to this servant and will follow Madam's orders"
Entrusted? You mean the fourth prince placed you here in her yard to watch her every action?
"That leaves me in relief, I have not been experienced with the matters of the house so I must trouble Steward Bo with my endless questions"
"This servant must help our masters"
That whole day, she mobilized the newly trained maids that XiXi groomed and held the account book for the estate. It was a just yet fulfilling day, one that she would wish to have in her future days.
