Chapter 1843: Chapter 1781: I’ve Got Your Back

The garden of Prince Jin’s Mansion is deep and beautiful, truly a sight of the Capital. Many people in the Capital want to use it for various poetry and literary gatherings in the latter half, but unfortunately, Ah Jiu does not like these events. His status also means he does not need to foster connections with court officials. Therefore, besides the mansion’s own banquet, this large garden is rarely lent out, making it even more desirable.

Ah Jiu accompanies Wufu around the mansion, either walking or stopping, moving around everywhere, and doesn’t forget to explain as they go, pointing out what is where and what features it has.

"The mansion is extremely large. You’ve just returned home, so even if you’re not familiar with it at the moment, you’ll get to know it by walking around. There’s no rush to deal with the mansion’s personnel, rest well first and then take your time understanding everything," Ah Jiu says, holding her hand: "Our mansion has three thousand trusted aides; Su Luo is the first-class guard and their leader. You are familiar with Su Luo, and you can assign tasks to him. Once you get used to the mansion, I’ll gradually introduce you to the others. Our mansion’s steward for internal affairs is Yuan Ye, and there’s also Xiao Li, who serves me personally. On the ladies’ side, there’s Nanny Ding, who manages all the matters of the inner yard, and there’s a Chief Official overseeing all external affairs of the mansion..."

As Wufu listens, she feels increasingly like a tangled mess in her mind, wrapping around and around, just the line of personnel is giving her a headache; she dislikes complicated matters the most.

Ah Jiu helps her settle down in a pavilion for a break, and seeing her furrowed brow, he says, "I know you’re impatient with these, but it’s all essential knowledge. The mansion is not like an ordinary household, you are a Princess Consort here, if even the personnel...

"I know!" Wufu interrupts him, smiling: "Don’t worry, although I dislike complexity, I’ll handle what is necessary for me to know and do. Since I chose you, naturally I will stand shoulder to shoulder with you, not only as your wife but as your ally too."

Whether for Ah Jiu or for herself, no matter how difficult, she has to face it head-on. Otherwise, how can she stabilize her position as the Princess Consort of Jin?

She will never let outsiders have the chance to say Ah Jiu chose wrong, that she isn’t worthy of him.

Confidence beams from her eyes, brighter than the autumn sun, and Ah Jiu feels joyful seeing it, saying, "I know none of this will be too challenging for you. You just go ahead and act freely, whatever the situation, I’ll always be by your side as your strongest support, backing you up."

Wufu makes a face and says, "Oh, even if I’m overwhelmed by my mother-in-law, will you back me up?"

Ah Jiu is startled, pinching her nose: "Royal Mother wouldn’t do that."

"What if she does?"

"Then I’ll back you up." Ah Jiu pauses: "However, you must cooperate with me and cheer her up when necessary."

"I knew you were cunning, clearly siding with the winning side like a fence-sitter." Wufu wrinkles her nose.

Resting enough, the two stand up again and continue the tour.

"What about Jia Yi?" Standing by the lake, Wufu lowers her voice slightly.

Ah Jiu’s expression turns slightly cold, saying, "The person is probably caught."

Wufu frowns.

"The person must be caught, whether alive or dead is hard to say."

"So what’s your plan?" Wufu asks him.

Ah Jiu presses his lips together briefly, saying, "Having just returned, I’m afraid they won’t assign any duties to me immediately, given that he knows about this, the Hidden Guard’s internal affairs might also be unstable. Trying to find Jia Yi equates to declaring open war on him."

Wufu interlocks their fingers tightly and says, "Then we take it slowly, just like peeling an onion, one layer at a time; eventually we will see its core."

"Yes."
