The second day of Yonglin and Jiang Junfan's wedding.
Early in the morning, the entire Jiang family was waiting in the main hall for Yonglin, the new bride, to serve them tea.
Unfortunately, they didn't even have breakfast, and waited on an empty stomach until noon without seeing a piece of Yonglin's clothes.
Zhu sent someone to ask, and was told that Yonglin had just gotten up and would not be here for a while.
Everyone looked at each other in confusion. Jiang Shunyi and Zhu's faces turned dark. Jiang Junfan was in no condition to consummate the marriage, and of course there was no such thing as tiring the new daughter-in-law. So Yonglin was simply lazy.
Upon hearing this, the old lady slammed her cane on the ground, making a loud thud. She said in a sinister tone, "Humph! That's great! We've married a great man. This house is going to be bustling from now on!"
The whole family suppressed their anger and waited for Yonglin with great difficulty, but they still hadn't spoken!
Then Yonglin began to complain, "This is the Earl's Mansion after all, but the bed is too hard. It makes me sore all over when I sleep on it."
While criticizing the Jiang family, he walked towards the main seat in a swagger.
The old man of the Jiang family has passed away, leaving only an old lady.
At this time, except for the old lady of the Jiang family sitting in the main seat, even Jiang Shunyi and Zhu were sitting at the lower seat.
Seeing that Madam Jiang was sitting on the right, Yonglin naturally walked to the left.
Before the Jiang family could react, he sat down.
The entire Jiang family was stunned and incredulous, watching Yonglin, a daughter-in-law of their granddaughter's generation, sitting on an equal footing with their old lady.
The nanny beside the old lady, relying on her seniority, was the first to stand up and accuse Yonglin of not knowing etiquette and hierarchy. The senior palace maid beside Yonglin stood up and slapped her in the ass without any explanation.
"You want to talk about superiority? Who here is as noble as our princess?"
The scene suddenly fell silent and no one dared to speak.
Seeing this, Madam Jiang's personal nanny could only cover her face in frustration and retreat behind the old lady.
The old lady's face turned pale, and her hands, which were gripping the cane with such force, turned white. She wished she could crush the cane directly.
Ignoring the grim expressions of everyone present, Yonglin drank a sip of the tea brought by her personal maid and said lazily, "Let's get started!"
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Start? Start what?
Seeing everyone looking at each other but seeing no movement, Yonglin said impatiently again, "Didn't you hear me say start? Hurry up and don't waste time. We have to eat lunch later!"
Jiang Shunyi tugged at Zhu's sleeves several times, and she managed to force a smile on her sullen face before asking, "Princess, what do you mean by 'beginning'?"
Yonglin didn't need to speak, the senior palace maid beside her answered for her, "Of course, we're going to start serving tea! Isn't it just for serving tea that you called my princess here in such a hurry?"
Yonglin actually let a servant reply to her mother-in-law while she was speaking. Zhu's already bad expression became even uglier, but fortunately Yonglin finally started to prepare tea, so she didn't say anything more.
The whole family straightened their clothes immediately and sat upright, waiting for Yonglin to serve tea.
But after waiting for a long time, there was no movement from Yonglin in the main seat.
The maid behind her jumped out again, pointed at the Jiang family and sneered, "You don't think it's our princess who is serving you tea, do you?
My princess is a royal princess. Even after marrying, her status remains noble. How could I condescend to serve tea to a bunch of lowly people like you? I am already doing you a favor by drinking the tea you offer me."
After hearing her words, Zhu's anger, which had been suppressed all day, suddenly exploded. "From what you're saying, we elders have to serve tea to your princess in return!"
The senior palace maid raised her head with a proud look on her face and said, "That's right."
Zhu sneered, "Good! Very good! It seems that my Jiang family is not marrying a daughter-in-law, but worshipping a great Buddha!"
After saying that, he suddenly stood up and slapped the maid in the face.
She was already holding back her anger, and she slapped Yonglin's maid with all her strength. She slapped her so hard that she staggered and almost fell to the ground.
The bright red slap mark on her cheek reminded the senior palace maid of what had just happened.
She turned around and looked at Zhu in disbelief, "How dare you hit me?"
Zhu curled her lips and snorted coldly, "What's wrong with hitting you? Even in the palace, you were just a maid, just a servant. Not to mention that you have left the palace now, how is you different from an ordinary servant in the mansion?
As the mistress of the Earl's mansion, I am merely teaching a servant a lesson. What's wrong with that?"
Then he looked at Yonglin and said, "Your Highness, before you married into our family, the master and I were your uncle and aunt, so we are at least your elders.
Now that you've married into the Jiang family, the master and I are your parents-in-law, and we're all family. It's a bit too much to act like a princess anymore!"
Yonglin glanced at the senior palace maid who still looked unconvinced, and quickly thought about what he should do in this situation.
Should she continue to be her princess, or become the daughter-in-law of the Jiang family.
Thinking of her mother's instructions before leaving, she pursed her lips, and finally stood up and walked to Zhu, "The maids are ignorant and have made me laugh. It's all a misunderstanding. Please don't take it to heart."
He then gave a wink to the senior palace maid behind him, who immediately put away the unconvinced look on her face and bowed her head to apologize to Zhu.
Then he hurried to prepare tea and asked Yonglin to serve tea to his parents-in-law.
After all, she was a princess, so as her mother-in-law, Zhu just had to give her a lecture and didn't dare to make things too difficult for her.
After drinking tea with the daughter-in-law and giving her the gift prepared in advance, the matter was settled.
Although Yonglin took the initiative to show weakness and offered tea to Jiang Shunyi, Zhu and the old lady of the Jiang family, she no longer took the other elders of the Jiang family seriously.
Zhu had long disliked those people, so she didn't mention it and let Yonglin embarrass them.
Anyway, her daughter-in-law has a high status and she can't control her. If anyone is dissatisfied or capable, just go and talk to the princess!
After Yonglin offered tea to the three Zhus, she didn't stay long because she remembered that she had been humiliated before. She asked someone to deliver the meals to her in the yard and then left.
As soon as she left, the scene fell into chaos.
Those with a little experience started to criticize Jiang Shunyi and his wife. Jiang Shunyi was annoyed and just threw the cup and left.
Zhu did exchange a few words with everyone, but what she said was so infuriating.
They all left with red faces, parting on bad terms.
Seeing this, Madam Jiang shook her head repeatedly, "They've rebelled! They've all rebelled!"
