"You mean this?" Jiang Shuwan adjusted the jeweled peony flower in her hair, blinking innocently. "This was given to me by the old lady."

"The old lady came back the day after the wedding. She was very kind to me and didn't let me pay my respects. So I took some of the betrothal gifts and gave them to her. She was so happy that she rewarded me with these jewels and the fabric for this dress. Isn't it beautiful..."

As she spoke, she tugged at her hem to show Jiang Yao.

whee!

I'll make you so angry!

Jiang Yao was so angry that she almost fainted.

"What do you mean the old lady is nice to you? She just doesn't like you and is waiting to test you at the clan banquet..."

She quickly covered her mouth.

I almost revealed that I had been reborn.

Jiang Yao took several deep breaths before calming down.

She stared at Jiang Shuwan's clothes and jewelry, her eyes filled with resentment. "Did the old lady really give you all this?"

"If you don't believe me, you can ask the old lady."

What else is there to ask? Do you think I don't know your family background?

Jiang Yao was so angry she felt like she was going to vomit blood.

Whether it was the betrothal gifts from the Marquis's mansion or Jiang Shuwan's dowry, she knew better than anyone what Jiang Shuwan had.

Neither the ruby ​​on her head nor the gemstone earrings belonged to Jiang Shuwan.

Yes.

Madam Pei valued rules above all else. In her previous life, when she discovered that there was a problem with Wen's betrothal gifts, she gave Wen a severe scolding and also gave her some nice things as compensation.

The gemstone earrings that Jiang Shuwan wore were one of them.

If she hadn't been impolite at the clan banquet and imprisoned and tortured by the Wen family under the pretext of teaching etiquette, she would have lived a life of plain clothes and vegetarian food until her death.

However, since both women discovered problems with the betrothal gifts, why did Jiang Shuwan receive a ruby ​​instead?

Jiang Shuwan has three gemstone-studded flowers on her head, each flower made up of five gemstones...

So, does that mean Madam Pei gave her fifteen top-grade rubies?

That old hag is just as biased as the Wen family!

That's outrageous!

There's also exquisite Shu brocade...

Jiang Yao glanced at Jiang Shuwan's clothes with intense jealousy.

She had never worn such beautiful clothes in her past life.

Moreover, she lost so unjustly this time...

In her previous life, why didn't she think to send some of the good things from the betrothal gifts to Old Madam Pei...?

Jiang Yao was filled with remorse and quickly called her personal maid in to remove her headdress.

"Such a magnificent headdress, why would you want to remove it..."

The maidservant had been outside the room and was unaware of what was happening inside, but her words were like a knife to Jiang Yao's heart.

In an instant, Jiang Yao felt as if her heart was riddled with holes and she was in excruciating pain.

pain!

It hurts so much!

Right now, the only thing that can save her is for Jiang Shuwan to make a fool of herself at the banquet.

As long as Jiang Shuwan also makes a fool of herself, she won't look too bad either...

Urging the maid to quickly remove her headdress, Jiang Yao hurriedly entered the dining room.

At this moment, everyone is taking their seats.

"Big sister, let's sit here."

Jiang Shuwan turned around and saw Jiang Yao staring at her with a shrewd look, pressing her down onto a chair.

There were about thirty people in the house, and three tables were set up for the feast.

Jiang Yao insisted that the table where she sat was the main table in the most central room.

“Elder sister is the Crown Prince’s wife, she should sit at the head table.” Jiang Yao said with a fawning expression.

"Second sister, stop talking nonsense! This is a clan banquet. There are the old lady and the lady of the house, as well as the clan elders and the ladies of the clan. The elders should be given priority. How can you sit randomly?"

When she said this, Jiang Shuwan deliberately raised her voice slightly.

Several young ladies from the clan immediately turned their attention to Jiang Yao.

Is she going to sit at the head table?

"That's so rude!"

"I didn't want to sit at the head table; I wanted the older sister to sit there," Jiang Yao quickly explained.

"So what are your plans?"

"Is it your turn to make the arrangements?"

"At a banquet like ours, seating arrangements are naturally based on seniority and status. It's not your place to interfere."

The ladies of the tribe expressed their disdain for her rudeness.

"If you don't understand, just stand there obediently, and a nanny will lead you to a seat."

"You pretend to know what you don't, and you make arrangements haphazardly. You really don't even understand basic etiquette. Look at the Crown Prince's sister-in-law, she's not like you."

Jiang Yao's entire face turned pale.

She desperately wanted to outdo Jiang Shuwan, but she was outdone by her in every way.

Jiang Yao didn't dare to use any tricks while seated and obediently waited for the nanny to lead them to their seats.

They sat at the second table, where they were joined by several ladies from the clan and young ladies from the Marquis's mansion.

"Big sister must be tired, sit down and rest." Jiang Yao said, and then went to press Jiang Shuwan's hand.

"Have you ever learned any manners?!" Before Jiang Shuwan could speak, Pei Shushu, who was sitting at the same table, couldn't stand it anymore and frowned at this outrageous sister-in-law from the Bo Mansion.

“Didn’t you see that all the ladies sat down one by one according to their seating order?” Pei Shushu pointed to the main table.

As expected, everyone took their seats in order of seniority and status.

They didn't just swarm and sit down at the table; they took their seats one by one in order.

These are the rules for aristocratic families; aside from where to sit, there are rules about when to sit.

"I told you not to make arrangements randomly, but you insisted on doing so anyway."

Pei Shushu stared at Jiang Yao with disdain, finding her sister-in-law both outrageous and speechless.

In that instant, her gaze towards Jiang Shuwan softened considerably.

Jiang Shuwan's appearance was so stunning that it truly stunned her.

Before, I only knew how to laze around indoors sunbathing and drinking milk tea, so I thought she was ignorant and rude.

I didn't expect you to look so good today, with such a great presence and impeccable manners.
