In the entire capital city, no, in the entire Great Jing Dynasty, there is no woman who is better at business than Jiang Shuwan.

Not to mention her, even her brother-in-law is now the president of the Beijing Chamber of Commerce.

Therefore, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call her the Goddess of Wealth.

Young ladies from prominent families like them naturally had no shortage of money to spend.

However, what Jiang Shuwan revealed to the outside world had long since reached the point where even the elders in her family were envious.

After all, Jiang Shuwan could earn 200,000 taels a year just from rent on Donglai Street.

That's two hundred thousand taels of silver, enough to feed the entire population of a small town for a year.

Add in other benefits, and it becomes an astronomical figure.

Of course, such money is nothing to their family, especially those families that are among the eight great families.

Such is the profound heritage of a distinguished family.

But their family's money was accumulated over several generations, even dozens of generations, to reach its current amount.

They themselves have no control over the matter.

Jiang Shuwan, however, could dispose of the silver at will.

Moreover, the money is only superficial; what is truly frightening and enviable is the speed at which Jiang Shuwan earns money.

If any family had a daughter-in-law like that, wouldn't they dote on her like a precious gem?

They treat it like it might melt in their mouths or break in their hands.

but.

Given the current situation, how could anyone genuinely agree?

They should be trampled to death.

"Hmph, I thought you were going to say something, but it turns out to be the ways of merchants, a money-grubbing business that's worth showing off!"

Guo Yaqin immediately snorted coldly, crossed her arms, her face full of disdain, and her eyes revealing extreme contempt for merchants.

The other noble ladies echoed this sentiment.

"Merchants are lowly; how can they be compared to us ladies from noble families?"

"We have seen how much the young master's wife protects her sister, but it's not that we look down on the young master's wife. She deals with money all day long and only has interests in her eyes. How can she cultivate her character?"

"Merchants are driven by profit, forgetting righteousness for profit, and are only interested in profit. They are not respectable. We would also like to advise the Crown Prince's wife that a woman should be virtuous and gentle. What kind of image is it to be showing your face in public all day long?"

“That’s right, the Marquis’s mansion is not short of money, so why bother with that kind of business and make a fool of yourself.”

"Women should stay at home and manage the household chores and household affairs properly. Let men do the things that require them to be in the public eye."

"Don't you agree, Lady Crown Prince?"

Hearing the crowd's aggressive and contemptuous words, Jiang Shuwan remained calm, but Jiang Yao was so angry that her hair stood on end. She pointed at the noblewoman who had said "merchants are lowly," her eyes filled with rage.

She had just expressed her desire to become Pei Yanzhi's second wife, but dared not reveal it due to Li Yuyan's power.

He had previously humiliated Jiang Shuwan, causing her to divorce him.

Now they keep calling merchants lowly.

You bitch!

They're all bastards!

"Who are you calling lowly?"

"You think you're so great, right? Yes! You're amazing. You come from a noble family and have no shortage of food and clothing. But don't forget, who brought all that food and clothing to you? Without merchants transporting goods, you wouldn't be able to buy anything even if you had money."

"You always act superior, thinking you're something special, but you're just a parasite. You even called our Jiang family lowly before. If you look down on farmers, then don't eat rice!"

"Shameless bastard, you get all cocky when I give you a little encouragement!"

"I do not know what you mean."

“Let me tell you, merchants can also do great things. Who do you think you are to look down on my elder sister?”

“My eldest sister has vision and ability, far surpassing you by at least a hundred times. It’s just that she was unlucky to be born a woman. If she were a man, it wouldn’t be entirely impossible for her to become a marquis or a prime minister!”

"You're just jealous! Someone like you isn't even worthy of carrying my older sister's shoes!"

Jiang Shuwan: "..."

!

!!

No, am I that awesome in your eyes?

The noble ladies: "..."

None of the noble ladies expected Jiang Yao to say such a thing.

Moreover, what she said was particularly vulgar.

How could someone as refined as them listen to such words?

Not to mention the derogatory meaning in their words.

"As expected of someone from a lowly family, you actually dared to swear in front of the Empress and the Princess!"

"Even if someone from a humble family has exceptional poetic talent, they're no match for high art; it's nothing but a disgrace!"

These words reignited Jiang Yao's anger.

She was a stubborn girl who couldn't stand being wronged and dared to fight with her aunt at the clan banquet.

The reason she's standing here speaking politely is simply because she knows this isn't a place where she can act recklessly.

They've just been swallowing their anger.

But even clay figures have tempers, let alone her.

So, he immediately put his hands on his hips and started cursing.

"So what if I curse at you?"

Jiang Yao glared angrily and shouted.

"You can't understand either good or bad advice! I was trying to reason with you calmly, but you just won't listen!"

"What kind of plum blossom appreciation banquet is this? I think you've deliberately set up this as an excuse to humiliate my elder sister!"

Jiang Yao pointed at the noble ladies, her voice sharp and piercing, "Tell me, why are you bullying people like this!"

"My older sister is always incredibly busy!"

"You two have to manage the Marquis's mansion with all your might and also run the shops with great care! You're doing just fine!"

"Let her stay home all day, never stepping out of the house, living the life of a quiet, pampered lady, practicing calligraphy every day. Humph! Who's going to manage the business then?"

She glared angrily at the group of noble ladies. "Or is it that your goal is to send her home to be a wife and mother, and then take over her business?"

"You're really good at scheming!"

Jiang Yao curled her lip, her face full of disdain.

"They say one thing to your face, but do another behind your back."

"Utterly hypocritical!"

"Those are nice words, but they're all just empty nonsense!"

As Jiang Yao spoke, she became increasingly angry and her grievances surged like a tidal wave.

She was in a great mood today, having made a name for herself, but these people kept calling her a lowly merchant.

Damn it!

I was reborn into this era because I was fooled by your lowly words about merchants.

Otherwise, how could Jiang Shuwan have made so much money in business?

Damn it.

I finally managed to open an ice shop, but I didn't earn much money. Even Consort Gao and the Empress came to snatch it up...

Shameless slut!

I hate you all!

Jiang Yao gritted her teeth, her eyes fixed on Consort Gao, her anger burning ever brighter, as if she wanted to incinerate everything in front of her.

No one knows how furious she was when Consort Gao appeared.

You bastards, you stole my business and my money! You deserve to suffer huge losses because of the new business law.

Shameless slut, putting on airs. You think you can't touch me just because I'm a concubine? But can't I criticize others?

Anger burned within Jiang Yao's heart.

She recalled the injuries she had sustained at the Kyoto government office; in order to obtain the ice-making recipe, both Consort Gao and the Empress had sent people to torture her.

Waaaaah~

I'm so miserable~~
