On the other side, Madam Bo looked at Jiang Shuwan with great satisfaction.
Heaven have mercy!
There are such celestial beings in the world!
Whether it's temperament, taste, or manners!
They speak and act with propriety, knowing when to advance and retreat, and considering the overall situation.
I wish she were my daughter-in-law!
The lady of the house stared at Jiang Shuwan with wide eyes, wishing she could take her to her own home.
What stewardship rights, what key to control?
Here you go! Here you go! It's all yours!
While talking to the ladies and young ladies of the clan, Jiang Shuwan did not forget to keep an eye on Jiang Yao and Madam Wen.
Seeing their expressions, as if they were about to hang themselves, he felt very satisfied.
Whose fault is it?
She didn't start it.
They're the ones who are deliberately provoking a confrontation.
Soon, the clan banquet came to an end.
The ladies and young women of the clan took their leave one by one.
At the banquet for the two families, the Marquis's mansion opened its gates.
Jiang Shuwan escorted them all the way to the door.
Her status and the way she presented herself to everyone improved everyone's impression of her even further.
"The Crown Prince's wife is truly a remarkable person."
"Good-looking, good at doing things, and good at treating people."
"They also treat us relatives very well..."
"No wonder she was able to become the heir apparent's wife. If she takes charge of the household in the future, we should give her our support."
One by one, the clan ladies left, each one praising Jiang Shuwan highly.
Jiang Shuwan always smiled and was never impolite, but Jiang Yao grabbed her sleeve and wouldn't let it go.
"How come you know how to serve an old lady meals?"
"You've never even met the old lady, how would you know what she likes to eat?"
Serving Madam Pei a meal was a matter of great prestige for the ladies of the Pei family.
However, this task is not easy.
You have to read the old lady's expression to guess what she wants to eat and what she doesn't want to eat.
Therefore, this is a job that tests a person's quick wit and ability to read between the lines.
People who are not smart enough, or who do not understand Madam Pei, cannot do it well.
How did Jiang Shuwan manage to do something so well...?
Is it really true that I am inferior to her?
Jiang Yao was both discouraged and resentful.
Then I heard Jiang Shuwan say, "I asked."
"Ask? Ask whom?"
"Ask Fourth Sister. Oh, by the way, Fourth Sister is Pei Shushu. She sat at the same table with us before. You probably don't know her."
snort!
You're wrong. I knew her in my previous life.
A spoiled brat who, relying on the old lady's favor, never gave her a kind look.
"You're going to ask her and she'll tell you? Big sister, do you think I'm stupid!"
Aren't you just a big idiot?
Jiang Shuwan raised her eyebrows. "She didn't really say anything, only that there were many strict rules for the clan banquet. So I asked the servants in the manor, and they were quite easy to get along with. They were very open and honest with me. Speaking of which, I owe a lot of praise to them for today's clan banquet."
"What! My son is treating you so well?"
Jiang Yao stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
Then, he turned his head to look behind him.
Besides Qingxing, Jiang Shuwan was accompanied by many servants carrying lanterns to see off the ladies.
She hadn't noticed before, but now that she looked at it, she realized that these servants' attitudes towards Jiang Shuwan were indeed different.
Speak respectfully, use a respectful tone, and maintain a respectful posture.
"Young mistress, it's snowing and cold. Let me put this cloak on you."
"Young mistress, let me hold the umbrella for you."
"Young mistress, it's dark and the road is slippery. Let me carry a lantern for you."
Jiang Shuwan had only been standing at the gate for a short while when several servants rushed up to fawn over her.
She recognized one of them; she was the old woman who managed the kitchen.
In her previous life, not only did they skimp on her food, but they also made her eat cold rice every day.
It's the dead of winter! Who can stand eating cold food every day?
Yet this wicked servant was as obedient and submissive as a lamb in front of Jiang Shuwan!
She, who was in charge of the kitchen, actually went to the front yard to fawn over Jiang Shuwan.
Is Jiang Shuwan really that favored in the Marquis's mansion?
Why? Why?!
This is so unfair!
They all have two faces!
Jiang Yao's head was throbbing with pain, and she could barely stand. Suddenly, someone pushed her from behind.
Jiang Yao cried out "Ouch!" and almost fell over, but managed to steady herself. Just then, she heard her aunt say, "Good child, how wonderful it would be if you were my daughter-in-law..."
The aunt stared at Jiang Shuwan with immense regret and heartache.
What a fine child! It's such a waste that he fell into the hands of that wicked woman, Wen.
And yet, this kind mother-in-law has been given a shameless and despicable daughter-in-law.
God! You're blind!
The aunt was heartbroken.
She felt that God had been so unfair to her!
"Mother! What are you saying?!" Jiang Yao was so angry that tears welled up in her eyes.
The aunt pushed her and said such things.
The clan ladies hadn't even finished leaving yet, and the aunt said this in front of them. What would the ladies think of her?
"You shameless slut, now you know how to call me 'mother'?"
"I'm telling you, it's too late!"
Without wasting words with Jiang Yao, Madam Bo immediately ordered two burly old women to escort Jiang Yao onto the carriage.
That very evening, she had Jiang Yao set rules for her.
"Old witch, calling you 'mother' is giving you face. How dare you bully me while Yulang is away? I'll fight you to the death..."
Jiang Yao lunged at Madam Bo with bared teeth and claws.
"Fine, you dare to resist. Bring two more men and tie her up in the woodshed. It's snowing today, let her stay cold all night to wake her up."
