After living for more than ten years, she finally found her chance.
This is truly gratifying!
I'm not criticizing Jiang Shuwan today.
It's all for nothing that she came here.
Jiang Yao smiled.
"How have you been lately, big sister? Your little sister has come to visit you."
As Jiang Yao spoke, she swaggered into the courtyard, her gaze sweeping over the furnishings of the house without any restraint.
Then.
She became depressed.
One of the display shelves was actually made of top-quality pear wood.
One of the palace lanterns turned out to be the legendary Jade Hook Cloud Pattern Palace Lantern.
Such a large jade ruyi was simply displayed outside instead of being properly stored away.
There's also a double-sided embroidered orchid screen; the double-sided embroidery alone makes it a very prestigious item.
Jiang Shuwan also strung two butterflies with sea pearls and inlaid them on top.
That's Haizhu!
If this were in modern times, she wouldn't be envious at all.
Modern pearl farming and harvesting techniques are mature, and sea pearls are not that expensive.
In this day and age, Haizhu is a rare find.
In the dynasty before the Great Jing Dynasty, Haizhu was even regarded as a royal offering.
The fact that it could not be used by non-royal members made the pearl a symbol of honor and prestige.
Emperor Dajing abolished this rule as soon as he came to power.
But Haizhu should be a symbol of honor and prestige.
Not only is it worth a fortune, but it's also in short supply in the market; she can't buy it even if she has the money.
Jiang Shuwan casually embroidered a butterfly for fun.
What a waste!
That's absolutely outrageous!
Jiang Shuwan also has a set of Haizhu headdress.
The pearl on top is bigger and prettier.
I'm so angry!
Jiang Yao's face twisted in anger, her heart churning with jealousy and envy.
Why is it that all the good things are reserved for Jiang Shuwan?
In her previous life, she didn't receive this kind of treatment when she married into the Marquis's mansion.
Why is Jiang Shuwan living such a good life?
Why? Why?!
What exactly is wrong with her?
Fortunately, Jiang Shuwan's good days are over.
Otherwise, she'll be really angry.
Lady Wen is a vicious woman, and the heir is heartless.
Jiang Shuwan could only rely on Old Madam Pei.
Madam Pei has lost faith in her.
Jiang Shuwan is finished!
Thinking of this, Jiang Yao felt instantly relieved.
It's finally Jiang Shuwan's turn to be unlucky!
It's been so many years.
She had finally gotten what she had been waiting for.
Therefore, seeing Jiang Shuwan's room full of luxurious and elegant furnishings, she no longer felt envious.
The Marquis's mansion was wealthy and prestigious.
But one has to be alive to enjoy it, and others have to be willing to let Jiang Shuwan enjoy it.
For example, in her previous life she married into a noble family.
They never got to enjoy a decent, wealthy, and comfortable life.
They were utterly tormented by the Wen family.
Speaking of which, Jiang Shuwan looks radiant and comfortable, how come she doesn't look like she's been tormented by the Wen family at all?
The old lady has stopped seeing Jiang Shuwan.
Why doesn't she take this opportunity to strike?
Has she become addicted to praising someone to death? Has she lost the ability to hurt people?
That shouldn't be the case.
That wicked woman, Wen, in her previous life, after she behaved disrespectfully at the clan banquet.
Wen then bared his fangs and tormented her relentlessly.
Jiang Yao was filled with questions.
Little did she know, it was Jiang Shuwan who had played her moves too well, step by step.
This made the Wen family dare not underestimate her.
Despite the widespread rumors of Jiang Shuwan falling out of favor, the Wen family has remained completely silent.
Normally, when he encounters Jiang Shuwan, he is neither happy nor angry.
She also kept a close watch on her dowry maids, such as the head maid and the storeroom maid, to prevent them from making things difficult for Jiang Shuwan.
Fearing that Jiang Shuwan might be using a self-inflicted injury as a ruse, they instructed all the servants to treat her with utmost respect.
She never skimped on the charcoal supply for food in her room, and whenever she had fresh food or fruit, she would send it to Jiang Shuwan's courtyard first.
She's such a stingy person, she doesn't even feel bad.
He seemed to think that even if it meant compromising himself, he wouldn't want to wrong Jiang Shuwan.
The Wen family's attitude these past two days is exactly the same as the previous patriarch's attitude towards Jiang Shuwan.
Of course, one reason was pity for her being a widow.
One of them wanted to harm her.
Although her motives were impure, Jiang Shuwan still benefited from them.
Who the hell cares what the Wen family is thinking? As long as they don't achieve their goal, that's all that matters.
She's happy to receive the nice things she brings.
Is this free money?!
It felt amazing!
"Miss, Madam sent over a few palace flowers."
"Madam said these were all bestowed by the palace on the fifteenth of the lunar year, and their vibrant colors are perfect for young wives and girls."
Just as Jiang Shuwan and Jiang Yao sat down to talk, Qingxing walked in carrying a tray of hairpins piled up in palace gauze.
Qingxing looked on incredulously.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Jiang Shuwan failed to see the old lady.
She was afraid that the Wen family would use this as an excuse to cause trouble.
Later, when she told Jiang Shuwan about it, Jiang Shuwan said that the Wen family would only treat them better.
She didn't believe it at first.
But these past two days.
It was one thing for Lady Wen to send her fine fruits and snacks from time to time, but she even sent her palace flowers that were given as gifts in the palace.
The servants in the mansion were all dumbfounded.
Many people have started spreading rumors that the wife is extremely fond of the young mistress.
Only the green apricots are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
God!
In order to gain a foothold, her daughter spread rumors everywhere.
The old lady loves spreading rumors everywhere, and the prince loves them too.
My wife loves it so much...
Even a dog wouldn't believe it.
They certainly wouldn't spread it.
That's good now.
Those who should have kicked her while she was down are instead treating her young lady better and better.
The servants are all saying, "Although the young mistress has lost the old lady's favor, she still has the madam to rely on."
They even said Jiang Shuwan is really awesome.
The mistress dislikes the heir apparent, so the young mistress must also be a thorn in her side.
The young mistress was quite capable, and somehow she gained the favor of the madam.
