The next day, news quickly spread that Concubine Shen Wei of Liuli Pavilion would take over the management of Prince Yan's Mansion. Surprisingly, all the hundreds of servants in the mansion were delighted.
Over the past year, Shen Wei had occasionally shown small acts of kindness—preparing mung bean soup and sour plum drinks during the summer heat, ensuring the timely distribution of warm cotton clothes from the storeroom in winter, and even personally overseeing the correction of payroll errors made by the Princess Consort's people, with the help of the elderly maids from her own courtyard.
It was safe to say that Shen Wei had won the hearts of the people.
Her rise to power was met with quiet glee.
