Within the entire Beicang Marquis's Mansion, Granny Shi was second only to the Young Lady Heir, Xiao Mingli, in seniority and status.
Although she normally lived in seclusion and rarely made public appearances, every Grand Lineage and great clan with a few decades of history in Jiangyin Prefecture knew of her pivotal standing.
It was no exaggeration to say.
Marquis Beicang Xiao Pingnan was stationed in a state-level vassal town, where he commanded the Cangdu Soldiers and guarded a 'Realm Gate'. He was not in Jiangyin.
And this highly respected Granny Shi...
...was his eyes in Jiangyin Prefecture!
If Granny Shi so wished, she could report any incident in Jiangyin Prefecture involving the Young Lady Heir, Xiao Mingli, to the higher-ups.
In other words...
To offend her was to offend Marquis Beicang himself!
And just who was Marquis Beicang?
