This is completely inconsistent with Pei Yanzhi's character, unless they have a very deep relationship, or the scheming cousin is extremely cunning.
Of course, whatever the reason, we'll know once the scheming cousin enters the mansion.
If she can't make it in the future, or whatever, she can just quit. As long as she gets the position of president of the Beijing Chamber of Commerce, she can live a good life whether she divorces or is dismissed.
With this in mind, Jiang Shuwan's gaze became even more resolute.
Even though times have changed, she cannot place her hopes for a lifetime of honor and disgrace on a man.
not to mention.
This man doesn't have any feelings for me yet.
"Miss, the young master has sent a letter."
Upon hearing Xiao Tao's message, Jiang Shuwan was taken aback. "Who sent a letter?"
"Your Highness."
"Your letter can be delivered to the old lady; why give it to me?"
"It has already been sent to the old lady; this is a gift from the young master specifically for you."
Pei Yanzhi actually wrote her a letter?
Is it going to rain red blood?
Jiang Shuwan looked outside curiously. The weather at the end of June was sunny and there was no sign of rain.
That's really strange.
The last time I received a letter was half a month ago. At that time, Pei Yanzhi wrote back to report that he was safe and sound. The envelope was delivered directly to Madam Pei. In addition to inquiring about the old lady's health, he also asked about the other people in the mansion. As his lawfully wedded wife, Jiang Shuwan only received a "How is Madam?" from him.
He wrote three sheets of paper, giving her only four words, in a very businesslike, cold and distant manner.
Why am I suddenly writing to her now?
"Bring the letter here."
I took the letter, opened it, and found it was just an ordinary letter wishing me well.
The letter said that they had entered the Jiangnan region, a land of plenty, where the wheat fields sway in the wind, and the scenery was delightful and beautiful.
Especially when it rains, the waterways in Jiangnan are well-connected, and taking a boat trip on the lake is a experience that cannot be found in the capital.
What does that mean?
Is he showing off that he can go out, but she can't?
Jiang Shuwan frowned as she read, but the key was that Pei Yanzhi's writing was excellent, vividly describing the beauty of Jiangnan, which made Jiang Shuwan yearn for it as well.
The problem is she can only be locked up in the back house...
Holy crap!
"You think you're so great just because you can go out? You think you're so high and mighty? Screw you! You had your fun and then you write back to brag about it... What's with that...?"
Jiang Shuwan was speechless; she had never seen a boss like this before.
wrong!
I've seen it!
When she first started working, that idiot boss liked to show off things in front of her that she couldn't afford.
Speechless!
This is absolutely ridiculous!
Times have indeed changed, but people remain the same.
Even someone as shrewd as Pei Yanzhi has his share of human flaws.
With a "smack!", Jiang Shuwan angrily threw the envelope aside and focused on her own business. However, she soon received two more letters, both from Pei Yanzhi boasting about the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan.
Speechless!
This is absolutely ridiculous!
Patting her lungs, which were practically bursting with anger, Jiang Shuwan called in the servant who had delivered the letter.
"Jiangnan and the capital are thousands of miles apart, how can letters be delivered so easily?"
Please, she really didn't want to know how carefree Pei Yanzhi was outside, or how much fun he had outside.
"In reply to the young mistress, there are many waterways in Jiangnan, making it relatively convenient to send messages. In addition, the study tour group consists of many sons of high-ranking officials and nobles, who are quite concerned about the safety of the group. Not only waterways, but also land routes are very convenient for communication."
"Your Highness is doing well; he only wrote four letters in a month. Some of the students in the group send several letters home to the capital every day, and the horses at the post stations have worn out."
hehe!
Does this mean she'll have to endure Pei Yanzhi's harassment for the foreseeable future?
Discard it if you can fix it!
"But now is the only time. Judging by the time, the young master and his entourage should have set off further south by now. The mountain roads are difficult, and it will probably be hard to communicate with them."
"That's wonderful... cough cough," Jiang Shuwan realized that her expression was too happy, which was not in line with her persona of loving the prince so much, so she quickly sat up straight and said with a worried look.
"What I mean is that the Crown Prince's trip is to broaden his horizons. Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. I am happy, but I am also very worried."
"I see. But please rest assured, young mistress, the study tour group is protected by soldiers, so there should be no problem."
"Mmm..."
Jiang Shuwan nodded perfunctorily, exchanged a few more words with the messenger, and then sent him away.
"Miss, we've found out who the person who passed us the note last time."
Qingxing walked in from outside and unfolded a note, handing it to Jiang Shuwan.
Previously, Pei Jingyu wanted to embarrass her because of the matter of taking care of her when she was ill, and it was all thanks to the people in Wen's house who tipped her off. After taking over the management of the household, Jiang Shuwan kept asking Qingxing to find this person.
"Very good."
Jiang Shuwan said happily, "Let her in."
Soon, a middle-aged nanny dressed in indigo satin entered the room. She had gentle features and was a few years younger than the head nanny.
“Miss, she is the deputy steward under the head nanny. Her husband’s surname is Song. She is part of the madam’s dowry. Everyone calls her Granny Song.”
“Granny Song used to be a prominent figure, and her influence in front of the Madam once surpassed that of the head maid. Later, the head maid found an excuse to get rid of her, and she was only left to manage miscellaneous items in the Madam’s room. Do you remember when you first took charge of the accounts, Miss, you went to the accounts room with me to get the account books, and you met Granny Song there. She was with her niece at the time and greeted you.”
"So it was you."
Jiang Shuwan also remembered that she had just separated from the two wives and had just met Pei Jing, who ignored her. Then she met Granny Song.
"This old servant greets the young mistress and pays respects to her."
"Get up."
Jiang Shuwan told her to get up and then sit down to talk. After chatting for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Jiang Shuwan understood why Granny Song had been framed by the head maid.
Because this person was so steady in her words and actions, even as a dowry member of the Wen family, she remained unhurried when she met her.
If we don't deal with someone like that, the head maid might not have anything to eat.
As she twirled the rim of the blue-and-white porcelain teacup with her fingers, Jiang Shuwan asked softly, "Judging from Song Mama's behavior, she doesn't seem like someone who can't outmaneuver the head matriarch. How did you, a deputy steward in charge of personnel, end up managing chores in the Madam's quarters?"
“Replying to the young mistress, the head maid was bestowed upon you by the old lady of the Wen family. How can I, a mere dowry maid, compare to the head maid?”
"What? Even dowries are divided into different grades?" Qingxing exclaimed in surprise.
Chun Jiao, who was doing needlework nearby, snorted coldly, "Sister Qingxing is too naive. Putting aside everything else, even in our room, Miss treats you differently from others. You are the first-class person in our room, but you never make things difficult for us. Miss is also fair in her rewards and punishments."
"In this way, we servants will live in harmony."
