The queen cried the whole harem

Chapter 392 Chen Yurong is not dead

At this time, Ji Yan had already returned to the third room.

After she returned, she called Chunyu and Chunsi to her side and told them that she wanted to promote one of them to be the maid in charge of the backyard.

Then he asked them, “Do you think you are capable of doing this?”

Chun Si panicked when she heard this. She was most afraid of being in charge of other people's affairs: "Madam, I still think it's best to serve you. I can't manage people."

Ji Yan smiled and said, "If you can't do it, then don't do it. I'm just asking you. If you don't want to, I'll find another mother to take care of it."

"But I thought that you were my maids, and I had to give you the chance, so I told you about it."

"At present, the Third House has fewer affairs to attend to and fewer things to deal with. Taking over at this time is the easiest and least tiring."

"But there will definitely be more things to do in the future, and you will become busier and busier. It depends on whether you are willing or not."

"I still say that, if you are willing, I will give you this opportunity. If you are not willing, I will not force you."

Then he looked at Chunyu: "Chunyu, Chunsi doesn't want to, what about you?"

Chun Yu asked back, "Madam, can I do it well?"

Ji Yan said: "If you want to do it, you can definitely do it well, but at the beginning, you will probably be like me, a little confused, but it should get better slowly later."

"Aunt Four is a very nice person, and the people on her side are also very nice. If I don't understand something, I will ask her. If you don't understand something, you can also ask her. Practice makes perfect, and you will gradually understand it. By then, you will also be confident."

Chunyu was not ambitious, but she understood that Ji Yan wanted to put her own people in the backyard to be the manager.

Even if Chunsi doesn't want to, she has to go anyway.

The lady only had these two maids who came with her as dowry.

It’s not that the Ji family is poor, but because of the special circumstances, the Ji family has traveled thousands of miles from Bobei Pass and cannot bring so many people.

We don’t know much about the maids bought from outside, so it’s better to use the maids from the Chen Mansion.

So no more maids were brought in as dowry.

Chun Yu said, "Madam, I will do it then."

Ji Yan said: "Since we have done it, we must do it well. This is not a joke."

Chun Yu straightened her face and said, "Madam, I am willing to be the housekeeper in the backyard, and I will do my best to be a good housekeeper."

Ji Yan smiled and said, "That's more like it."

Afterwards, Ji Yan called all the servants from the third room, including some servants from the front yard, to the backyard and announced that Sheng Chunyu would be the maid in charge of the backyard.

"From now on, Chunyu is the housekeeper of the backyard, in charge of the entire backyard. If there is anything going on in the backyard, report it directly to Chunyu. If you disrespect Chunyu, then you are disrespecting me, your wife, and I will not tolerate you. You must remember this."

Everyone nodded in fear, indicating that they had taken note of it. Only then did Ji Yan dismiss them.

Chunyu took up the post as the maid in charge of the backyard and began to get busy familiarizing herself with everything in the backyard.

Ji Yan continued to look at the account books and went to the warehouse to count the goods in person.

While counting the goods, she discovered something strange.

There are a total of six warehouse account books, which record the four warehouses on the third room's side, called the East, West, South, and North warehouses.

There were two warehouses used by Chen Dongyan, which were used to store the imperial gifts, including the imperial gifts in the past, the imperial gifts he obtained this time after surviving a life-and-death experience at the border, and some things awarded by His Majesty before his wedding. There were a lot of things in there, and they were all recorded.

There is also a public treasury, which contains some things that the Chen family has distributed over the years, as well as some old items. There are quite a few things there.

The other warehouse was very strange. Over the years, there had been no income or expenditure, and everything recorded in the account books was very valuable.

The account book was very old, and there was no increase or decrease in the items. Xie gave all the account books of the three rooms to Ji Yan, and naturally gave the keys of the four warehouses to Ji Yan as well. Ji Yan opened this special warehouse, took a look, and closed it again.

She didn't touch or check the things in the warehouse.

She went to check the things in the other three warehouses. There were many warehouses and many things in them, so Ji Yan checked the warehouse in the east first.

This busy work took the whole morning.

Chen Dongyan came back at noon, and Ji Yan told him about checking the items in the warehouse today.

Chen Dongyan said, "Aunt Si handed the account book to you. Now that you have taken over, you must check it all. This will help everyone if there are any problems in the future. It will be better for everyone if you check it now."

Then he asked, “Any questions?”

Ji Yan shook her head: "It's fine for now. Fourth Aunt is very good at accounting, so there shouldn't be any problems. I'm just going through the process. Of course, I also want to find out what the Third House has, so I have a clear idea of ​​it. That's why I want to check it myself."

As he said this, he seemed to be hesitant to talk and glanced at Chen Dongyan.

Chen Dongyan asked: "What's wrong? You look like you have something to say. Didn't you say there's no problem with the warehouse?"

Ji Yan hesitated for a moment, but still told her about the warehouse on the west side, which she thought was a little special and strange.

"The account books in that warehouse have never been moved, and neither have the items in the warehouse. This is a bit unusual, as if it was kept there deliberately for someone."

As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Dongyan's expression suddenly changed.

Ji Yan thought that there was indeed something strange about this warehouse.

She didn't ask further, but immediately said: "Oh, I just said that. If it is really saved for someone, I don't mind."

Chen Dongyan lowered his eyes, his expression visibly tense.

Ji Yan's heart skipped a beat and she thought, no way, are the things in that warehouse really kept for someone?
There is no one in the third room, who can save it for me?

Could it be that Chen Dongyan has someone in his heart?
This idea scared Ji Yan.

Ji Yan looked at Chen Dongyan and asked tentatively: "Husband, did you have a lover before?"

Chen Dongyan raised his eyes and looked at Ji Yan.

sweetheart?
There must be.

But this matter has nothing to do with his sweetheart, and he married Ji Yan, and Ji Yan is the person he wants to protect, and he will not have any other thoughts.

Chen Dongyan's expression was still somewhat tense and solemn, but his eyes had obviously become much softer.

He sighed heavily and said, "Ji Yan, there is something I want to talk to you seriously about."

Seeing him being so serious for no reason, Ji Yan became nervous. She sat up straight, her heart pounding. She felt that what he was about to say was very important.

Chen Dongyan was silent for a long time, then said, "I have a sister, you know."

Ji Yan nodded: "I know, she passed away, husband, please accept my condolences."

Chen Dongyan smiled bitterly and said sadly: "She is not dead."

Ji Yan was shocked.

The incident of Chen Yurong caused a lot of controversy back then, and even though Ji Yan was far away in Bobei Pass, she also heard about it.

But outsiders' evaluation of Chen Yurong is really bad.

But Chen Yurong is dead, and Chen Yurong is Chen Dongyan's sister, so Ji Yan can't judge this person.

But now, Chen Dongyan said that Chen Yurong is not dead!
