Chapter 29 - A Servant's Quality

When An Zi Ran arrived at the Fu palace, it was Steward Li that came out to invite him inside.

Seeing him, Steward Li's entire face scrunched up with a smile. "An gong zi came early. Our wang ye is still practicing in the yard. It will take a while before he is done."

An Zi Ran noticed that his expression was laughing. There was not a speck of deference in his eyes. But he did not mind. He was also not surprised by the servant's words. He had mentally prepared himself when he received the invitation card.

...

The arrival of An Zi Ran set off a small wave in the Fu palace.

The purpose of their arrival from two days ago had already spread throughout the palace. Before that, it was very rare to know that the Fu palace had a marriage contract with the An family. Only Fu lao wang ye and Fu Wu Tian knew about it.

But since Fu lao wang ye's illness, the only person in the entire Fu palace that knew of this matter was Fu Wu Tian. But because he had been away at the border station all this time, and he did not put the matter of the marriage contract in his heart, even his men did not know about it. So when the news spread out, one could just imagine the shock.

When An Zi Ran hadn't arrived yet, someone had started to inquire about the news.

When they heard that the other party was the daughter of a landlord they could not believe it.

[T/N: The "they" refers to the servants of the Fu palace.]

In all of their eyes, their wang ye's identity was very noble. Someone who could be their wang fei, at the very least must be the daughter of some high official. How could a landlord's daughter measure up? No one was optimistic about this kind of marriage. They thought that their wang ye was definitely not willing to marry that woman. So when they heard that wang ye was only going to give the woman the status of a concubine, they looked upon her even more scornfully.

[T/N: Even though they haven't even laid eyes on her yet. Aiya, these servants...]

Steward Li was representative of one of these people.

The last time, because of the lao wang fei's jade pendant, he didn't dare look at the other party before ushering him inside. As a result, he was almost punished by the wang ye. Now, knowing that wang ye did not like the people of An family, he was the first to express his dissatisfaction.

Steward Li asked An Zi Ran to wait in the hall. He did not immediately send someone to inform wang ye. Instead, he had a servant pour a cup of semi-cold tea for An Zi Ran.

An Zi Ran picked up the tea cup, and then lowered it.

Steward Li looked in his eyes and smiled. "Why isn't An gong zi drinking the tea? Is the Fu palace's tea not to your taste? Then, my apologies. An gong zi may be used to drinking inferior tea. Unfortunately, the Fu palace's tea is all top-notch tea. We really don't have substandard tea leaves, so please put up with it."

Steward Su heard this sentence and almost jumped out, but he was stopped by An Zi Ran in a timely manner.

An Zi Ran finally determined that Steward Li was targeting him. Such blatant sarcasm. Could it be that Fu Wu Tian instigated this? Was this his way of flaunting his power? Although he could not be very sure, he still could not casually let a servant give him cheek.
