…

After that night, Gu Tingyuan did not return to the Imperial View Manor.

In the past half a month, Mu Wan had tried to get close to Gu Han. However, the Imperial View Manor was too big, so big that she could get lost in it at any time.

However, the only fortunate thing was that Gu Tingyuan was not around in this house. Thus, she was still living comfortably.

Although the servants in this house scoffed at her, it was because Gu Tingyuan had explicitly told the servants not to call her ‘Young Madam’.

Thus, this person, who didn’t live up to the name of “Young Madam”, naturally no longer held any weight in their eyes.

“It’s time to eat!”

At the door of the master bedroom, the maid, Xiao Bi, shouted a sentence unhappily. Without waiting for Mu Wan to respond, she immediately turned and left.

Mu Wan was used to such an attitude. She got up from her desk and went to the dining room downstairs.

Lunch was ready. It was light as usual.

It was alright. She did not like to eat meat that much, and the vegetables were very nutritious.

Mu Wan picked up her chopsticks. Surprisingly, besides the soup, the rest of the four dishes today were all cold dishes.

She was on her period and had a cold uterus. Thus, it was not suitable for her to eat such cold food.

The person in charge of taking care of her daily needs was Xiao Bi. Mu Wan had never ordered the other servants around before and rarely interacted with them.

Xiao Bi stood at the side, her expression arrogant and indifferent from beginning to end.

Although Mr. Gu did not allow anyone to address her as “Young Madam”, this woman still lived in the master bedroom after all. Thus, Xiao Bi had to go through the motions.

Mu Wan looked up and glanced at Xiao Bi. “I can’t eat cold food for the next two days. Can you change the food?”

Xiao Bi glanced over at the food on the table and then at Mu Wan. “You’re really weak and hard to please! If you don’t like it, don’t eat it. No one is forcing you!”

With that said, she walked straight forward, wanting to clean up all the food on the table.

Pa!

The sudden banging on the table startled Xiao Bi. She paused and stared at the cold-looking Mu Wan.

That sharp gaze made Xiao Bi, a maid who was lower in status compared to Mu Wan, tremble in fear.

“What… are you doing?”

Mu Wan said, “Did Gu Tingyuan marry me just to let you guys do this?”

The maid was frightened by her sudden change in attitude. However, she knew clearly that although this woman was Mr. Gu’s wife in name, she was actually just a nobody. Otherwise, Mr. Gu wouldn’t have prevented them from calling her “Young Madam”.

“Do you really think you’re the mistress of this house? Everyone in the entire Imperial View Manor knows that Mr. Gu married you just to follow Old Master’s orders.”

Mu Wan smiled faintly. “Is that so? Do you want me to take photos of these dishes and send them to Gu Tingyuan so that he can see how you guys slack off on me?”

Upon hearing this, panic and fear flashed across the maid’s arrogant face.

Although this woman had no status in reality, she was still sleeping in the master bedroom and Mr. Gu’s thoughts were hard to fathom. If she really blamed her, wouldn’t the servants suffer?

At the thought of this, the maid glanced at Mu Wan and reluctantly put down the plate of food in her hands. Her tone was still arrogant and uninhibited. It could be said that she was gritting her teeth. “The chef has already gotten off work. Just make do with this meal. I’ll take note that you can’t eat cold food for dinner!”

Then, the maid turned around, and Mu Wan’s tense face instantly relaxed.
