Jiang Yutao has been living in Mingyueguan these days, learning to recognize and write characters, as well as getting used to the layout of books in this world. Without punctuation marks, and not like modern colloquial language, it was really difficult to read at first, but all of this is necessary, otherwise she wouldn't be able to understand her dowry list and various land deeds, or the contracts for the slaves' sale, who knows, maybe one day she'll even lose an argument with someone because of her lack of culture.

  Seeing her so calm and composed as the mistress, the slaves and servants below her cried for two days before they gradually calmed down and began to carefully try to please her. This was an era when slave trading was legal, and the masters who owned these slaves' contracts had the power of life and death, so these people who basically belonged to Xiao Jin Yue all wanted her to be well, mostly considering and worrying for her, this is what is generally referred to as a 'loyal servant'.

  Jiang Yutiao is not a pleasant person to be around. In her previous life, she didn't get along with her relatives and had no friends except for a crazy fan who was obsessed with her. She treated everyone indifferently. After coming here, she still showed no interest in making friends. She disliked having so many people surrounding her, but ultimately couldn't drive these servants away, so she kept them in the courtyard, letting them do some chores in other rooms. As long as they didn't cause trouble, she ignored them all.

  Over the past few days, several clever maids had seen through her preferences and changed their previous reserved attitude, proactively coming to serve her. Jiang Yutao didn't drive them away either, gradually giving them some orders and occasionally chatting with them for a couple of sentences.

  "Today, I went out to buy pastries for the master and heard people discussing how that King Yu struck Du Shangshu's son with a horse whip, causing him to roll on the ground and lose face. However, after today's incident, I'm afraid not many people will dare to openly discuss King Yu's affairs again." Lan Qiao, the maid, was quite bold and wasn't favored by Xiao Jin Yue in the past, but now she had become the first person in front of Jiang Yu Chao. She often went out to buy things that couldn't be found in Mingyue Guan and was well-informed about news.

  Jiang Yutao read the words in the book, and upon hearing this, he twitched the corner of his mouth. The king had been suffering from rumors for days, but couldn't lash out, so now that he'd caught a loose-tongued chicken, he was going to make an example of it for the monkey to see. On the surface, no one dared to discuss this matter, but in private, who knows?

  At first, Jiang Yutiao read the original book. The king of Yu initially wanted to get Xiao Xiangguo's support and obtain the position of Dongshan Camp leader, so he married Xiao Jin Yue. Later on, after his position was secure, he wanted to get rid of Xiao Jin Yue. He knew that the women in the mansion were framing her, but he pretended not to know and even used this as an excuse to divorce Xiao Jin Yue, without caring about how this would affect the weak-willed Xiao Jin Yue's future.

  Now let him also taste the harm of rumors. This dog wants to throw people away like a toilet bowl, she will slap him in the face, no one thinks about messing with her, whoever messes with her, she'll mess with them.
