Exiled Princess: From the Palace Heist to Becoming a Rich Madame [MTL]

Chapter 16-20

Steward Lin, watching from nearby, couldn't help but feel tears welling up in his eyes. If only His Highness had met the Princess earlier, the mansion wouldn't be so desolate now.

The mansion lacked nothing except for a Princess who could liven up the atmosphere.

Sigh, he hoped His Highness would wake up soon!

After a moment of contemplation, Steward Lin returned to his room, found the key to the storeroom, and proactively handed it to Jiang Ru, who was wandering about.

"Your Highness, now that you've married into the Prince's Residence, the management of the household treasury should be entrusted to you," Steward Lin said.

Jiang Ru looked at the bunch of keys in her hand, considering the situation. "..."

For the sake of convenience, let's hold onto them temporarily!

After all, she was a walking treasure chest.

Seeing Jiang Ru not rejecting the idea, Steward Lin smiled and added, "Your Highness, Prince An has a lot of assets under his name. You don't need to be frugal. If you like something, just buy it."

Just like other noble ladies and misses who enjoyed shopping. The Princess shouldn't be any different; if she liked something, she should get it.

The Prince's wealth was meant to support the Princess, the future little Prince, and little County Princess!

Jiang Ru felt a warmth in her heart at his words. She lightly caressed the keys in her hand and nodded to Steward Lin.

Never mind other things; these keys proved that Uncle Steward trusted her.

You trust me, and I will never let your trust down.

...

As the sun set in the west, Jiang Ru personally took charge in the kitchen.

Luckily, in this world, there was an ingredient known as chili, although there were few spicy food enthusiasts.

Jiang Ru thought that if they didn't like spicy food, she could make a separate portion for herself.

Under Jiang Ru's guidance, the head chef prepared another serving of braised fish and sweet and sour fish.

When the head chef looked puzzled, Jiang Ru chuckled, "I read about these cooking methods in a book a few days ago. It said that fish has many health benefits, like enhancing brain function and being good for the body."

The head chef silently noted down how to prepare and marinate the fish and how to use liquor to remove the fishy smell. Their Princess preferred a vegetarian diet because of the strong odor of meat.

Dong Xue watched in admiration as Jiang Ru worked her magic, thinking that their young miss was truly incredible.

Finally, Jiang Ru personally used the spirit spring water to stew a bowl of fish soup for Xiao Chengjin.

It would be best if he woke up soon. If not, they'd treat him as a pig.

Later, Jiang Ru remarked, "It seems like the pig I've been raising has grown plump... Quite fragrant."

In the dining hall, Jiang Ru couldn't help but smile when she saw everyone eating with disdainful expressions before proclaiming how delicious it was afterward.

Especially Shadow Two, who enjoyed it the most.

The Princess was indeed something else!

Tomorrow, he would go fishing.

After finishing her meal, Jiang Ru instructed Dong Xue to bring the soup to their courtyard.

"This is the fish soup I made myself. Make sure he drinks it all!" Jiang Ru tested the temperature and reminded Xiao Chengjin.
