Mr. Lan Dong asked who had proposed the idea and heard the waiter say that it was proposed by the wife of Duke Fu.

I didn’t realize for a moment, this was proposed by a woman?

The noble women of Dayun never touched kitchen matters.

I don't know why there is a lady who can offer so many professional opinions today.

I had a deeper impression of this lady.

Since that gathering at the restaurant that day, Jiang Wan rarely saw Fu Yan.

I guess he went to deal with the Ruyi Teahouse matter.

Jiang Wan has been reading his books in Wutong Courtyard these days, and also looking at the bills from Wanlan Restaurant and various feedbacks.

The toilet that Zenu asked someone to make also took shape.

Jiang Wan just needs to wait.

Today, Jiang Wan was lying on the lazy recliner that he had someone make for him as usual.

On the left is a small frame for the various books she wants to read, and on the right is a flat wooden board for placing tea, fruits and the like.

Jiang Wan ate the peeled grapes. The juice burst in her mouth, sour and sweet. She couldn't help but eat a few more.

These grapes are a tribute, and a reward from His Majesty.

Because of the incident with Fu Yan's father, the emperor always feels a little indebted to Fu Yan now.

He then treated Fu Yan as his own son.

When Fu Yan was young, he had the same teacher as the prince, and even his food, clothing and other expenses were the same as the prince.

This is something that everyone in Shangjing knows.

Jiang Wan ate the grapes that the little girl next to him handed to him, looking very contented.

Nanny Feng, who was standing by, looked at this scene and felt that her young lady had finally gotten her happy ending after suffering so much.

He was also afraid that if he relaxed like this, the old lady and Mrs. Li would be unhappy in the future.

"Madam, are you really not going to host the Master's birthday banquet?"

Jiang Wan's eyes didn't leave the book. "What birthday party?"

Nanny Feng frowned. The Madam had been living too comfortably these days and now she even forgot something as important as the Master's birthday party.

You know, the old lady just said that this morning.

She asked why Jiang Wan could only say "okay, okay" at that time.

Now I know that my wife didn't listen at all.

"Madam, have you forgotten? The old lady just told you this morning."

Nanny Feng's words made Jiang Wan think carefully.

"Ah? Tell me more about it." Jiang Wan put down the book, her tone quite coquettish.

Nanny Feng couldn't stand Jiang Wan's trick, but there was nothing she could do about it.

I thought to myself that since he is still young, it is normal for him to like to play, right?

"The Duke's birthday will be in a month. In the past, it was always the eldest lady who took care of it, but now you have become the Duke's new wife, and also the new mistress of the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion. This is a great opportunity for us to show our faces in the capital."

Jiang Wan immediately understood what Nanny Feng said.

"Mammy, do you want me to use this banquet to let the entire Shangjing City know that I am the current mistress of the mansion?"

Jiang Wan lowered her eyes and laughed, "I won't do something that will make me cry and tired and bring me no benefit. If I take the initiative to go to the old lady and agree to host the birthday banquet for the Duke, what do you think will happen to the Li family?"

Nanny Feng didn't expect Jiang Wan to say this.

"This...we can't just do nothing because of her." said Nanny Feng.

Jiang Wan shook his head. "It's not that I won't do anything. It's just that I don't need to do such thankless tasks. Wait, there will be good news later."

Jiang Wan raised an eyebrow at Nanny Feng, "Instead of planning a birthday party, why not go strolling around the Lotus Lake?"

Jiang Wan put down the book in his hand and took a sip of plum wine.

He stood up and stretched.

"Qingtao, let's go, get ready, and go to the Lotus Lake for a stroll."

Qingtao is a second-class maid who was promoted by Jiang Wan and Qiu Nu this month.

This girl is smart with her words and she is also clever in doing things.

In recent days, Qingtao has been serving me.

Qiu Nu mostly did other chores, but Jiang Wan had a filter from his previous life for Qiu Nu, and always felt that she was different from others, so he paid more attention to her.

Finally, Qiu Nu also caught up.

Walking in the small pavilion in the bamboo forest, Jiang Wan suddenly remembered that her mother-in-law, Mrs. Li, seemed to have rarely appeared in the past few days.

Unexpectedly, before I even reached the pavilion, I heard a few cleaning maids talking about Li.

"This is such a waste! How can they do such a thing?" The maid was still holding the broom, feeling quite indignant.

The people around him were relatively calm in comparison. "What's so surprising about this? It's just that the old lady has been obsessed with Buddhism in recent years, and there are no other female masters in the mansion. The power is all in the hands of the eldest lady. It's understandable that she wants to use the money from the Duke's Mansion to subsidize her own family."

"But why did the master suddenly check the accounts? And he just happened to find out that it was the eldest lady who made the false accounts so easily."

"I guess someone tipped off the Duke."

"You said it wouldn't be Madam..."

"Yes, the eldest lady has not yet handed over power to the young lady. Maybe the young lady can't wait any longer..."

Jiang Wan was a few steps away and heard all these words clearly.

Fu Yan found out that Li had cooked the books?

Jiang Wan stood there in a daze, wondering how this could be such a coincidence.

Jiang Wan thought again of what happened when Fu Yan followed him to Ruyi Teahouse that day.

Yes, how could Fu Yan happen to finish all the things from his previous life in this life by such a coincidence.

Coincidence or what?

Jiang Wan knew that a small change on his part was enough to cause changes in many things.

But now Fu Yan already knew about this, and it was hard for him to guess whether it was the butterfly effect caused by himself or something else.

"lady!"

The maid turned around and saw Jiang Wan standing there blankly. She was startled and shouted:

"Please forgive me, Madam. It is because I was too outspoken."

Everyone in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion knew that Jiang Wan had slapped Liu'er three times and escaped unscathed.

No one anymore thought that Jiang Wan was a young lady who was easy to bully.

After all, Liu'er relied on the fact that she was on the Eldest Madam's side and treated servants like them without any mercy.

Everyone recognized her as the eldest lady's person and considered her half-master, and no one cared.

Jiang Wan dared to use such heavy hands on Liu'er as soon as he arrived.

You know, the most important thing for a person is face, but the lady slapped Liu'er in front of so many servants.

It will be difficult for Liu'er to raise her head in front of the servants in the future.

Jiang Wan didn't think about what he needed to be responsible for. His mind was now completely filled with Fu Yan's investigation into Li's false accounting.

"It won't happen again."

Jiang Wan said this coldly, and the maids who were kneeling in front of her kowtowed repeatedly.

Jiang Wan was supported by Nanny Feng and walked up the small steps to the pavilion and sat down.

Those people managed to escape a disaster, so how could they dare to make trouble in front of Jiang Wan?

Busy changing places.

Nanny Feng asked someone to prepare some refreshments.

The lake water is very clear, reflecting the blue sky, but the lotus leaves are now withered.

Jiang Wan sat beside him, his hand on his forehead, thinking about something.

She was wondering why Li had gone quiet. It turned out that the truth had been uncovered. She was probably avoiding the limelight now, so why would she come to cause trouble for Jiang Wan?

Nanny Feng took a look and said, "Madam, since the maids have spread the news, should we go to the Madam and explain it to her secretly? After all, she is your mother-in-law. There is only benefit and no harm in building a good relationship with her."

Jiang Wan knew that Nanny Feng was thinking for herself. She had the same thought in her previous life. In the end...
