"This servant greets the young mistress. I was busy and am late. Please forgive me."

"Young Madam, you are very busy and I dare not disturb you. I will pay my respects to you here."

After saying that, he also announced his position and told Jiang Shuwan to feel free to ask him anything in the future.

They adopted an extremely humble posture and spoke with great sincerity.

Granny Tao: "..."

Qingxing: “…………”

Oh, you can't even do that?

Qingxing and Granny Tao were both dumbfounded.

You'll give up if I don't give you a sweet date?

I've never seen this before.

Moreover, the Crown Prince is deeply in love with his wife, and he wants to take the imperial examination to become the top scholar for her sake. What kind of nonsense is this?

"Isn't this something my young lady made up?" Qingxing was dumbfounded.

Isn't it said that servants born into families are cunning and treacherous?

Why do all these people believe whatever their young lady says?

Qingxing was completely baffled, but when she thought about what Jiang Shuwan had done when she paid her respects this morning, everything became clear.

It turns out that the young lady had already begun planning when she first paid her respects.

"Miss, you are really amazing."

Qingxing was so excited and impressed that she didn't know what to say.

Granny Tao quickly realized what was happening and looked at Jiang Shuwan with a shocked expression.

"Miss, you are truly admirable."

She's seen the world, and she's never encountered someone as clever as Jiang Shuwan before.

Jiang Shuwan smiled but remained silent.

She had indeed been making plans since she started paying her respects that morning.

The truth about her marriage to Pei Yanzhi has already been kept secret by Pei Yanzhi.

Everyone assumed that, as the rumors suggested, she had some extraordinary qualities that made Pei Yanzhi choose her from among thousands.

However, the fact that Pei Yanzhi did not consummate their marriage last night further proves that she is not so much liked by Pei Yanzhi.

As a new bride, she was disliked by her husband, and her mother-in-law was also making things difficult for her.

This is a truly disastrous start, enough to drive most people to despair.

But she remained calm and unhurried. Not only did she not fall for Wen's attempts to sow discord, she also stood on Pei Yanzhi's side throughout.

She was simultaneously trying to gain Pei Yanzhi's favor while also saying that Pei Yanzhi wanted her to be the top scholar's wife.

—Thus, Pei Yanzhi stopped coming to Jiang Shuwan's courtyard, and others assumed that Pei Yanzhi was studying hard because of her.

Of course, Pei Yanzhi's claim that she should be the top scholar's wife was only her side of the story, but she acted very arrogantly.

And it was extremely arrogant?

She's so arrogant that as a new bride, she doesn't give these families the slightest bit of face by having children.

It should be noted that these servants of the Marquis's family, who have been raised in the household for generations, have great influence in front of their masters and are not people that a new bride like Jiang Shuwan can easily control.

But Jiang Shuwan didn't take it seriously at all; she treated them like air.

Whether you come or not, no matter how many people come, no matter how long you have to wait, this young mistress has no time to see you!

What kind of new bride is so arrogant?

So the servants were all dumbfounded, and couldn't help but wonder if this arrogant new bride had a powerful backer, and who that backer was...

Holy crap!

It seems that the Crown Prince's wife has the Crown Prince as her backer, and he even said he would make her the wife of a top scholar.

No wonder the Crown Prince's wife is so arrogant; it turns out the Crown Prince adores her!

The servants, assuming they had guessed the truth, naturally vied to curry favor with Jiang Shuwan.

They would be willing to wait a whole day, let alone an hour.

Only a new bride who lacks assertiveness would use a "tit-for-tat" approach with her servants.

The new bride is so assertive, she won't even give you the time of day.

Because the Crown Prince loves it so much, are you scared? Are you eager to curry favor with him?

The fifth workplace survival skill.

Rumors not only stop with the wise, but can also be used by the wise.

Creating something from nothing is very useful.

Jiang Shuwan stared at the servants who were bowing outside the door, but no matter how loudly they kowtowed, she didn't respond to them at all.

He only allowed the wet nurse to give them some silver as a reward, and also gave the old woman in charge of the cook a silver ingot, and told all the servants in the mansion to have an extra dish.

When the prince gets married, they are also invited to share in the joy and have a meat dish served.

There's no need for a meeting. The Crown Prince's beloved wife has no time to see a few servants.

The maids and servants were surprised to receive a reward and left after expressing their gratitude profusely.

The four who arrived later, in particular, exchanged glances.

The Crown Prince's wife is incredibly arrogant!

But the Crown Prince loves it so much...

As the servants left, Granny Tao was filled with remorse, saying, "Miss, I've caused you so much trouble."

If she hadn't sent Xiao Tao to serve tea and had ignored the servants, Jiang Shuwan's three slaps would have been more effective.

"It's alright." Jiang Shuwan didn't blame her.

Granny Tao used the same methods as those used by women in the inner quarters to win people over.

It's for her own good.

Moreover, she has already achieved the desired effect, so there's no need to fuss over it.

Thus, Granny Tao admired Jiang Shuwan's magnanimity even more.

"Miss is witty and generous."

"Miss truly has the bearing of a mistress."

She was completely convinced.

Qingxing admired her greatly, and then she thought of the three nannies of the Wen family.

“Miss, you have now won over the head maids in Houli and the maids by the side of the First Madam.”

None of them came.

Based on Jiang Shuwan's theory, they would probably also attack the three nannies...

"Silly child, what kind of daughter-in-law makes her mother-in-law lose face as soon as she enters the family? To target her mother-in-law's confidante?"

“I’m not that kind of blind daughter-in-law.”

"I am a good daughter-in-law who respects and loves my mother-in-law."

In her previous life, Jiang Yao made a huge scene because the servants didn't come to pay their respects.
