The master and servant were whispering to each other with their heads down when suddenly, Jiang Shuwan felt a gaze fall on her.

Looking up, she realized that Pei Yanzhi was looking at her.

Oh dear, I forgot the little boss was here.

Jiang Shuwan immediately stood up straight. Pei Yanzhi was raised by the old lady and was very particular about rules and etiquette.

Pei Yanzhi stared at her, still showing no emotion, and said calmly, "I didn't say I wanted you to be the wife of the top scholar."

"That was just something said in the heat of the moment."

"It's not easy to become the top scholar."

"I know."

"Not to mention achieving the highest honors in all three levels of the imperial examinations."

"I believe you." You must have taken the exam in your past life.

"..." Pei Yanzhi didn't speak, staring at Jiang Shuwan with his eyes slightly narrowed, as if he were scrutinizing her.

Jiang Shuwan blinked at him, looking completely innocent.

The two just looked at each other.

In the end, Pei Yanzhi said nothing, but he casually gave the four red envelopes he had just received in the room to Jiang Shuwan.

He then summoned his personal servant and went to the study.

Jiang Shuwan: =_=

The shop owner tipped me, but I wasn't prepared at all.

Furthermore, could you at least say goodbye before you leave, so the new employee could see you off? You didn't even give them a chance to flatter you...

Fortunately, I don't really want to flatter people.

Jiang Shuwan held the red envelope with a happy smile.

Although Pei Yanzhi's expression was as calm and emotionless as usual when he left.

But she was certain that her words had won Pei Yanzhi's favor.

The red envelope is the best proof.

The Long March has made a good start.

Jiang Shuwan was in a good mood, and she didn't feel cold at all when the wind was blowing on her face.

She also gave Qingxing a red envelope, and Qingxing seemed to be in a good mood today.
