Uncle Wan was very satisfied with Yu Wan’s reaction. He had already gained a lot of understanding of Yu Wan after interacting with her for a period of time, she was definitely not an unpresentable person. Although she had grown up in the countryside, her looks and bearing were not inferior to the daughters of rich families. However, there were some things that could not be judged by their appearance. It was definitely not that easy to be a daughter-in-law of the imperial family. A hidden foundation was sometimes more important than her temperament.
She did not refuse his arrangements, which meant that she was deeply aware of this herself. This realization alone was rare enough.
In the past, Uncle Wan only treated her as a junior and doted on her. Now, he felt that perhaps she was really qualified to be Young Master’s wife.
Yu Wan thought for a while and said, “I’m new here and have many things I don’t understand. If I don’t do it right, Uncle Wan, you definitely have to remind me.”
Uncle Wan said, “Young Madam, you’re being too serious.”
Yu Wan looked at Uncle Wan and said, “If I need to learn the rules, please teach me, Uncle Wan.”
Uncle Wan did not expect her to even consider this. Uncle Wan mustered his courage and looked into her eyes. He saw that her eyes were filled with sincerity, and she did not seem to be deliberately lowering her status to pretend to be someone else. Uncle Wan could not help but be more satisfied with her. At first, he thought highly of her because of the Young Master and Little Masters. The Young Master and Little Masters both looked noble, but they were actually extremely lonely. Yu Wan was the first person who could really get close to them, but Uncle Wan definitely did not expect Yu Wan to be able to hold the position of Young Madam. Even if the Young Master married her, in his opinion, he would only have one more woman who needed them to take care of.
But at this moment, he suddenly didn’t think so.
Of course, it was good to have the intention, but ability was the most important. It was too early to say whether she could support the entire Yan Manor.
Uncle Wan said, “Since Young Madam is considerate, I’ll choose a suitable teacher for you later.” Young Madam needed to see her relatives in the future, so royal etiquette was indispensable.
After that, Uncle Wan introduced the stewards of the kitchen, storeroom, greenhouse, orchard, fish pond, and other places. After Yu Wan saw them one by one, she gave everyone a red packet. This was what Bai Tang reminded her.
Everyone was not surprised to receive a red packet, but when they saw the amount inside, they were so shocked that they could not close their mouths. They originally thought that a country bumpkin would not be too generous, but who knew that the smallest red packet was ten taels? This was not a reward, but a distribution of wealth.
What surprised them even more was that Young Madam did not make any drastic changes after she took charge. They would do whatever they originally did in the future. Young Madam did not take on the power herself, nor did she arrange her own people everywhere in the manor.
This was almost impossible for other families.
Soon, everyone realized that Young Madam did not seem to have any maids. She married over just like that. Even a concubine from a small family was not so shabby.
“She’s from the countryside. There’s not much dowry. Where can she get a maid?”
“Isn’t that so? Those dowries are the betrothal gifts we carried over.”
It was common for people to return a portion of the betrothal gifts as dowry. It was different for aristocratic families. When rich families married off their daughters, they would compete to see who had a richer dowry. If a girl had a lot of dowry, not only would she have confidence in front of her in-laws, but her in-laws would also be proud when they mentioned it. Otherwise, it would be easy for others to look down on her, like Yu Wan.
Behind the bushes, Yu Wan brought the two new maidservants back to the Qingfeng Courtyard. Coincidentally, she heard the words of the two servants.
Tao’er and Li’er carefully looked at Yu Wan. Young Madam must be furious to be discussed like this. These two old women were going to be unlucky. Unexpectedly, Yu Wan did not even look up and walked through the garden.
The two of them followed behind Yu Wan and looked at each other.
Yu Wan stopped in her tracks. “Do you want to ask me why I didn’t punish them?”
The two of them did not dare to speak.
Yu Wan smiled faintly. “They’re right. I really don’t have any dowry.”
“Huh?” The two of them did not expect Yu Wan to be so straightforward.
Yu Wan said indifferently, “Since it’s the truth, there’s nothing to punish. Let’s go. It’s time for the little fellows to wake up.”
Yu Wan walked forward, leaving the two maidservants dumbfounded.
Tao’er looked at Yu Wan’s back and muttered, “Young Madam…”
“A very strange person, right?” The one-year older Li’er was deep in thought. Ordinary people would have flown into a rage out of humiliation when they encountered such a thing, but Young Madam did not care at all. “She’s different from the nobles we’ve seen.”
However, it was hard to say if she was pretending.
Li’er said, “We have to be more careful in the future.”
Tao’er nodded obediently. “Got it, Sister Li’er.”
The matter in the garden could not be hidden from Yan Jiuchao. Before Yu Wan could reach the Qingfeng Courtyard, the two servants with loose tongues were chased out by Uncle Wan. At this point, no one in the manor dared to criticize Young Madam behind her back.
Yu Wan had yet to hear about this matter for the time being. She only felt that the servants of the Qingfeng Courtyard seemed to respect her more than before she left. Even the extent of their bow had increased. Could it be that they were even more obedient to her after she went to see the stewards of the manor?
Yu Wan raised her eyebrows and entered the room.
As expected, the three little fellows had already woken up. They were being pressed onto a chair by their father to eat cherries. Yan Jiuchao picked out the red ones and gave them to them. Yu Wan felt her teeth ache when she saw the half-ripe cherries, but Yan Jiuchao ate them with relish.
After lunch, Eunuch Wang came.
He was here to bring Yu Wan into the palace. After the wedding, the bride had to enter the palace to meet the Empress. This was a rule passed down from the ancestors. Yan Jiuchao could not help Yu Wan reject it or she would be harmed. However, he was also worried about Yu Wan’s body since she did not sleep enough. He got someone to bring a message to the palace, saying that he had woken up early and accidentally broken his leg. His little wife cried and was very worried about him. She would enter the palace with him after he comforted her.
The corners of Eunuch Wang’s mouth twitched. Only this little lunatic could think of such a shameless excuse. Cried? Heh, look at Madam Yu’s flushed face. Did she look like she had shed a tear? Wasn’t it just young and greedy sex? Who didn’t understand!
Eunuch Wang was certain that Yan Jiuchao was lying, so when Yan Jiuchao sat in the wheelchair and expressed that he was crippled, Eunuch Wang chuckled. Pretend, continue pretending!
“Eunuch Wang doesn’t seem to believe that your legs can’t walk anymore. This can be considered a stroke of luck. You can’t let anyone know that your poison has acted up. Otherwise, those despicable people won’t be able to sit still and will start to stir. The most important thing now is to detoxify the poison and not let too many people cause trouble,” Yu Wan whispered into Yan Jiuchao’s ear as she pushed the wheelchair out of the manor.
She did not want Eunuch Wang to hear her, so she was extremely close to Yan Jiuchao, and her warm breath landed beside his ear. Yan Jiuchao did not hear a single word she said in the beginning. He only felt that the tips of his ears were burning. It was not until the last sentence that the word “detoxify” was like the key to a forbidden door. In the bright yet not bright morning light, the way she panted on his body… Suddenly, it became clear in his mind. His breathing became hot…
“Aiya, not good! Young Master is bleeding!” Tao’er shouted.
On the first day after they got married, under everyone’s gazes, the otherworldly Young Master Yan spewed nosebleed.
It was an hour later after Yan Jiuchao changed his clothes and entered the palace. This time, no accidents happened.
The new bride of the royal family could only obtain the golden seal of the imperial family’s noble lady after meeting the Empress. Although this golden seal did not have any real power, it concerned whether Yu Wan could be recognized as the Princess Consort of the Great Zhou Imperial Family, or just a woman that Yan Jiuchao had casually married.
The Empress had lost favor for many years, and the power of the six palaces had long fallen into Worthy Consort Xu’s hands. Only the golden seal of the noble lady still needed the Empress to handle.
This was not considered any real power. Most of the time, it was just a formality. After all, the marriage of the royal family was most likely approved by the Emperor. Wouldn’t the Empress be making things difficult for the Emperor if she didn’t give her the golden seal?
“Don’t be afraid when you see the Empress later. Kowtow to her and bow. Answer whatever the Empress asks. Don’t talk too much. Take the reward from the Empress if she gives any. There’s no need to refuse,” Eunuch Wang kindly reminded her.
Eunuch Wang looked at Yan Jiuchao. “Young Master, please follow me to see His Majesty.”
Yan Jiuchao glanced at Yu Wan. Yu Wan smiled and said, “I’m fine. You can go.”
Yan Jiuchao brought away the pale Tao’er, leaving only the slightly calmer Li’er to follow Yu Wan into the Fengshai Palace.
