Meanwhile, Su Yueqing looked back at them.

For several long moments, neither side spoke.

Inside her mind, however, she was already panicking.

[Why are there so many people?]

[Is Xi Wenzhe running a residence or commanding an army?]

[What exactly does one person need this many servants for?]

The servants naturally heard none of her thoughts.

To them, their new Young Madam simply appeared calm and dignified as she sat beneath the flowering tree observing everyone.

The head maid stepped forward and bowed.

"Young Madam, these are the servants currently assigned to Young Master’s residence."

Su Yueqing stared at the crowd again.

There were far more than she had expected.

The head maid continued respectfully.

"The Duchess instructed this servant to gather everyone so Young Madam may become familiar with the household staff."

The moment she finished speaking, dozens of servants bowed together.

"This servant greets Young Madam."

The unified greeting echoed throughout the courtyard.

Su Yueqing nearly jumped from her chair.

She had not been prepared for such a dramatic display.

[Why are they greeting me like this?]

The servants remained respectfully bowed.

When they finally straightened, the head maid spoke again.

"Would Young Madam like everyone to introduce themselves?"

Su Yueqing looked at the rows upon rows of servants standing before her and immediately felt a headache coming.

There were simply too many people.

Even if they introduced themselves one by one, she would probably forget every name within the next quarter of an hour.

As she stared at the crowd, a thought suddenly flashed through her mind.

Then her eyes brightened slightly.

Wait.

Hadn’t she forgotten something important?

[That’s right.]

[I’m supposed to be a villain.]

[The spoiled, arrogant, unreasonable wife.]

[How could I almost forget my job?]

The system immediately responded.

[after ten years host has finally remembered.]

Su Yueqing rolled her eyes at nine’s sarcastic remark.

[If I’m going to survive in this family, I need to maintain my image.]

[At the very least, I need enough Villain Points.]

[Being hated has benefits too.]

A smile slowly appeared on Su Yueqing’s face.

The servants below immediately became nervous.

For some reason...

That smile did not look friendly.

The head maid waited patiently.

"Young Madam?"

Su Yueqing waved her hand lazily.

"No need."

The head maid blinked.

"No need?"
