"Thank you, Madam Xie."
Jiang Shuwan smiled broadly.
I never expected to get the indenture so easily.
The old lady was indeed kind to her.
For the next two days, she stayed in Madam Pei's courtyard.
According to the timeline of the previous life, Madam Pei fell ill around this time.
In this life, Madam Pei still fell ill.
In the middle of the night, Madam Pei suddenly developed a high fever; the illness came on suddenly.
Over the past few days, Jiang Shuwan has been helping Madam Pei to recuperate.
The old man is much healthier than before.
Having resolved her inner conflict, her condition, though seemingly dangerous, was no longer a matter of life or death.
However, just in case, Jiang Shuwan stayed by her side.
They stayed up all night to take care of Madam Pei's health.
Pei Yanzhi, who was studying at the Imperial Academy, also learned about the illness of Madam Pei.
In the afternoon, the young minister took leave and returned to attend to the ailing patient.
Seeing that Jiang Shuwan was taking care of Madam Pei without taking off her clothes, his attitude towards her improved a lot.
His words and tone became warmer, and he treated her more leniently in terms of gifts and gifts.
The couple truly embodied the ideal of "treating each other with the utmost respect."
Qingxing looked completely bewildered.
The couple has been married for over two months, but they've only met a handful of times, and their conversations are polite yet distant.
Most people would feel awkward if a couple's relationship turned out like this.
However, the young ladies were quite happy with their way of getting along, without feeling the slightest bit awkward or uncomfortable.
The crown prince was also peculiar; he didn't think there was anything wrong with this couple.
He was polite and courteous to Jiang Shuwan, but noticed that she hadn't slept well while taking care of Old Madam Pei, and now had dark circles under her eyes.
He then told Jiang Shuwan to go back and rest, while he stayed here to attend to her.
"Thank you, Your Highness. I'll be going back now."
Jiang Shuwan didn't stand on ceremony; she had been taking care of the old lady all night without blinking and was indeed tired.
Pei Yanzhi is the old lady's grandson, so it's his turn to help.
Jiang Shuwan took Qingxing back to her own courtyard.
Rumors that the young master felt sorry for his young mistress spread throughout the entire mansion in an instant.
"Goodness, the young master is too kind to his young mistress."
"The young master returned and immediately told the young mistress to go back and rest."
"Moreover, the way the young master treats the young mistress is so adorable, he practically wants to hold her in the palm of his hand."
"The old lady values her highly, and the young master likes her too. Our young mistress is so lucky."
"Enjoying life is good, but that's only because she's the young mistress. If it were someone else, do you think the old lady or the young master would treat her this well?"
The servants gathered together to gossip.
Jiang Shuwan was both amused and exasperated upon hearing this.
There's no attitude involved, no talk of the young master doting on his young mistress.
Pei Yanzhi was just being polite to her.
We told her to come back and rest because she was exhausted.
In the eyes of the servants, it became that the young master was showing affection for his young mistress.
very nice.
She didn't need to spread rumors; the servants themselves believed them.
Such rumors only solidify her position, so she naturally doesn't bother to clarify them.
Exhausted from caring for the sick, he went back to his room and slept for four hours. When he woke up, it was already noon.
After lunch, Jiang Shuwan was about to go visit Madam Pei again.
Aunt Chang sent someone to inform her that the old lady had fallen asleep and her fever had subsided.
She's out of danger; let Jiang Shuwan rest well.
Jiang Shuwan retreated back into the house and asked Qingxing to make her a cup of milk tea.
The three food streets will open together tomorrow.
Today is the last day before the opening, and merchants in the West Market are making their final preparations.
She also planned to take a stroll.
After all, we've invested 120,000 taels of silver, so we should go and take a look.
Moreover, she heard from Brother Nai that someone had opened a food street next to the East Market that looked exactly like theirs.
I want to challenge her to a duel.
good.
She also wanted to find out who the other person was.
"Miss, the young master has arrived."
She was drinking her milk tea, planning to leave as soon as she finished, when Xiao Tao rushed over.
This was Pei Yanzhi's first visit to Jiang Shuwan's courtyard since the New Year.
What is this young minister doing here?
Now that Madam Pei is out of danger, given Xiao Quanchen's personality, shouldn't he return to the Imperial Academy immediately?
Jiang Shuwan was surprised by his arrival and quickly got up from the chaise longue, sitting upright and looking quite like a prince's wife.
However, her current appearance was no longer enough to fool Pei Yanzhi.
The prince still remembered coming here on New Year's Eve, when Jiang Shuwan got drunk and rubbed against the snowman.
Quite a few grandmothers.
This was quite different from her usual polite and dignified demeanor.
"Cough cough."
Pei Yanzhi coughed lightly twice, pretending not to see her slightly disheveled hair and hairpins.
He remained composed, but his gaze lingered elsewhere, avoiding direct contact with Jiang Shuwan.
Jiang Shuwan also realized that something was wrong with her.
She's thick-skinned and not embarrassed at all. She went in first and had Xiao Tao straighten her hair and tidy herself up.
She then sat down next to Pei Yanzhi with the dignified and polite demeanor of a young mistress.
really.
She was exposed last time.
However, she and Pei Yanzhi were not enemies with conflicting interests.
It's a bit embarrassing to have your identity revealed.
As long as he doesn't expose it, everyone can continue to treat each other with respect.
Anyway, we're all in the same boat. If you give me face, I'll do my job as a young mistress.
Only when we all work together can we have a good life.
And once the truth comes out, you don't have to pretend anymore.
Thinking about it, Jiang Shuwan straightened her back, then slumped back and lazily fell onto the soft cushion.
"??"
Pei Yanzhi was taken aback.
In the past, when Jiang Shuwan met him, she was quite dignified, with proper posture when standing and sitting.
