Chapter 63 Seizing the Power of the Household from the Madam

Zhao Shizhu then remembered that this was Su Ci's bedroom. He turned around and was about to avoid it, but then he felt something was wrong.

She is his wife, and there shouldn't be such a distance between her and him.

He glanced at Su Ci's snow-white neck, looked away uncomfortably, and finally left the dormitory.

As Zhao Shi left, Su Ci immediately rolled off the bed and quickly got herself ready. She deliberately smeared some makeup on her face to make herself look more haggard.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Su Ci came out of the dormitory, his face was pale and he looked exhausted.

"Zheng Wei will be here to take your pulse later." Zhao Shizhu stepped forward and helped Su Ci sit down.

Su Ci was shocked. She was just pretending to be sick. If Zheng Wei took her pulse, wouldn't he find out that she was pretending?

"I'm not sick, there's no need to trouble Doctor Zheng." Su Ci smiled slightly and glanced at Si Xue out of the corner of his eye.

Si Xue understood and immediately continued: "The princess is indeed not ill, it's just that some of the gossipy servants said something unpleasant..."

Zhao Shizhu frowned when he heard this: "What did you say?"

"What else could it be? It's just that the princess is just a decoration in the palace. It's ok for His Highness to treat her like a worn-out shoe, but he even doesn't even have the most basic power to manage the family..."

Su Ci interrupted Si Xue at the right time: "Your Highness, don't listen to Si Xue's nonsense. When I was at my mother's house, I only knew how to eat, drink and have fun. How could I be the head of a household? If the palace really fell into my hands, I don't know if I would have ruined it."

Zhao Shizhu's mind moved, and he felt that Su Ci did have such destructive power.

But Su Ci was his wife, and the household affairs of the palace should be managed by Su Ci.

"The princess is so smart, she can't learn--"

Su Ci interrupted Sixue: "Sixue, you can shut up now, I don't want to be the head of the family at all!"

Zhao Shizhu had long experienced Su Ci's temperament, and she certainly didn't look like someone who could manage the household.

But after a few days of marriage, he had not yet consummated his marriage with her, which caused the servants in the palace to gossip.

Although Su Ci is still young and may not know anything, we can find someone to teach her. After all, she will be in charge of the palace sooner or later. I originally wanted to wait until she got used to life in the palace before handing over the power of the family to her...

"Qi Xi, give the warehouse key to A Ci." Zhao Shizhu made a decision quickly.

Su Ci originally wanted to test Zhao Shizhu's attitude, but she didn't expect that Zhao Shizhu would be so straightforward and hand the key to the warehouse to her. Doesn't that mean that the financial power of the palace is in her hands?
Not to mention Su Ci's surprise, Qi Xi was also dumbfounded: "Your Highness, this..."

Isn't this bad?
Su Ci doesn't look like a good housekeeper, but rather like a troublemaker. Besides, the key to the storehouse is now in the hands of the old lady, so how can he tell her about this?
"If you have anything to say, just say it." Zhao Shizhu glanced at Qi Xi indifferently.

Qi Xi glanced at Su Ci. It was not easy to tell him that the key was in the lady's hand, so he didn't know how to start.

"Is there something I can't hear?" Su Ci looked at Qi Xi curiously.

Zhao Shizhu gave the order after hearing this: "Speak!" Qixi's face fell, and she had to tell him about her embarrassing situation: "The key to the storehouse is in the hands of the Madam. It doesn't seem appropriate for me to ask for it."

Otherwise, let Su Ci go and ask for it. The fact that Su Ci can get it shows his ability.

Su Ci was embarrassed when he heard this, and said to Zhao Shizhu: "Mother, you don't think I want to seize the power of the palace, right? Your Highness, why don't you just forget it, I'm really not a good housekeeper."

Zhao Shizhu, however, confronted her: "I will go get the key to the storehouse from my mother myself. Since I said I will hand over the power of the household to you, you can just do what you want."

Then he stood up and said, "I will go get the key, you wait."

"Your Highness, don't..." Su Ci pretended to stop him, but of course, she failed to stop Zhao Shizhu in the end.

After Zhao Shizhu and his servant left, Su Ci whispered to Si Xue, "I guess Bai Shuang served Prince Duan very well last night, otherwise why would she give me the key to the storehouse so easily?"

Si Xue felt that her master was wise at this time: "The princess is right. It doesn't matter if your Highness has a person or a heart, but you must control the financial power. In this way, everyone in the palace will act according to the princess' mood."

Just think about how many people are talking about the princess behind her back, but the power of life and death is in the princess's hands. It makes me feel happy just thinking about it!

However, after last night's incident, the news that Zhao Shizhu stayed overnight in Hexuzhai spread not only throughout the palace, but also throughout the entire Liangzhou. Now everyone in Liangzhou thinks that the princess is a resentful woman in the boudoir who is not favored by His Highness.

The princess had been envied by many people before she got married. Now that she has married into the palace, she has fallen into such a state. There is no telling how many people are waiting to laugh at her. But she dared not tell the princess these things.

She didn't know that with the barrage, nothing could be hidden from Su Ci's eyes and ears. Su Ci soon learned about the rumors in Liangzhou, but she didn't care at all.

Let her be a nagging woman. Now everyone knows that she is a pitiful person. The more pitiful she is, the more Zhao Shizhu has to give her some sweet taste in the matter of housekeeper, so that he can explain to her father.

She thought about it for a while and waited for good news from Zhao Shizhu.

In Dingjing Hall, Gao was very happy when she saw Zhao Shizhu. She was about to ask him if he had had sex with Bai Shuang last night, but Zhao Shizhu caught her off guard: "My son came here to give the key to the storeroom to Ah Ci."

Gao's face changed slightly. She never expected that Zhao Shizhu would suddenly decide to hand over the power of the family to Su Ci.

Su Ci is obviously not favored, so why did Zhuo Qing give the warehouse key to Su Ci?

"I've heard about Su Ci's character. I heard that she is uneducated and unskilled. Are you sure you want to take such a big risk and hand over the warehouse key to her?" Gao asked in a deep voice.

She must be unhappy in her heart. After all, their mother-son relationship has always been good. Although Zhuoqing is her adopted son, her kindness to him is incomparable to that of a biological mother.

Over the years, Zhuoqing has always been very filial to her and almost obeys her every word.

"Although Ah Ci looks naughty, she is actually very smart. Mother, please give her some guidance. I believe she will be able to manage the palace well. With mother around, she won't cause any big trouble." Zhao Shizhu replied with a smile.

Nanny Ning could no longer stand, so she stepped forward and said, "This is the power of the household. The palace has finally accumulated some wealth in Liangzhou over the past few years. If the princess fails to manage the palace well and drains it, who will be held responsible? Even if Your Highness feels guilty about the princess, you cannot just hand over the power of the household to a woman like this."

Zhao Shizhu listened carefully at first, but when he heard Nanny Ning say that Su Ci was "such a woman", he suddenly understood why everyone in the palace was disrespectful to Su Ci.

It was he who gave everyone the wrong message, causing others to look down on Su Ci.
