Thinking of this, Jiang Yao became invigorated, her eyes brightened, she stood tall and puffed out her chest, and her steps were light as the wind.
All the unease they had felt about the power and wealth of the Marquis's mansion was now suppressed.
These ladies are nothing special!
He looks like he's never seen anything like it!
Jiang Yao strode inside, but as she walked further in and got closer, she also caught a glimpse of the emotions in everyone's eyes.
Their eyes were not drawn to her extravagant attire.
Rather, it was a complex look in his eyes, a mixture of astonishment, disbelief, and incredulity.
This look in her eyes was completely different from the envious and shocked look she had imagined before.
They could even be described as two extremes.
What happened?
Is there something wrong with her?
An unease rose in my heart, and my original pride and confidence vanished.
Jiang Yao followed nervously behind the maid who was leading the way.
What happened?
Why are they looking at me like that?
"Pfft!" Someone burst out laughing.
"Who is this? Wearing so much jewelry on their head, are they going to perform in a play?"
There were about ten ladies in the room, but none of them, except for Madam Bo, had ever seen Jiang Yao before.
Upon seeing her enter, they were first taken aback by her attire, and then burst into laughter.
They assumed it was just some opera singer who had wandered into the wrong place.
"What are these opera singers doing here?"
"What? The old lady even hired an opera singer?"
Where is the stage?
"And why is this actress here? Shouldn't she be backstage getting her makeup done?"
"This opera singer is dressed quite well. Her clothes look like a piece of shimmering brocade worth a fortune, and the jade and jewels on her head look real too..."
More than a dozen clan ladies stared at Jiang Yao with curiosity, and even Madam Wen, who was silently chanting sutras with her eyes closed, looked curiously at this 'actress' who had suddenly barged in.
Is this a place where even an actor can enter without being summoned?
Madam Wen stared coldly at the head maid, feeling that she was not taking her work seriously.
The head maid cried out in her heart that she was wronged.
She arranged everything for the clan banquet; she didn't invite any actors at all.
"Madam, please calm down. This servant has no idea where this actress came from..."
The other women and young ladies were still sizing up Jiang Yao.
In particular, when one of the clan ladies said that Jiang Yao's jewelry and clothes looked real, all the clan ladies showed disdain.
"How could it be real? She's just an actress, how could she afford to wear real jewels!"
"They might not have even seen it before."
"If even an actress can wear real jewels, wouldn't we ladies be a laughing stock?"
"She's just an actress, and this outfit must be a prop from one of their performances, right? I wonder which theater she's from; the props are so well-made, they look just like the real thing..."
The ladies stared intently at the 'actor's' head, their eyes filled with fervor.
"Who made this? It's even better than the craftsmen I keep at home."
"A fake piece of jewelry, made to look just like the real thing."
"I really want this craftsman to make me some jewelry. He makes even fake pieces so well. If I gave him real gemstones, the jewelry he made would be the envy of all the ladies and young women in the capital..."
The women of the clan marveled at this.
Just then, the maid who was leading Jiang Yao spoke up.
"Reporting to the old lady and all the ladies of the clan, this is not an actress, but the wife of my uncle."
"Something terrible has happened!"
"Madam has fainted!"
A maid's scream rang out from inside the room.
The aunt rolled her eyes and fainted without hesitation; she had no desire to face the reality of the situation.
But he was quickly woken up by having his philtrum pinched.
The tea room is still the same tea room, and the atmosphere is still the same atmosphere.
Everyone was surrounding her, looking at her with concern and staring at Jiang Yao with utter shock.
Jiang Yao shocked everyone as she had hoped.
Just as the maid announced her name, all the dozen or so ladies present were stunned.
"Good heavens, what am I seeing? This actress is actually the young master's wife?"
"Has the world gone mad, or have I gone mad? How could the new bride of a noble family be dressed like this?"
"With all this gold and jade, is she afraid people won't know how rich she is?"
"She's as simple as a walking gem shop."
"Is she here to attend the clan banquet, or to sell goods?"
"Are you sure you've got the right person? How could someone like this be the daughter-in-law of the Earl's family..."
The women couldn't help but whisper among themselves.
They were all wondering if the servants had made a mistake.
"Something terrible has happened!"
"The aunt has fainted again!!"
The aunt rolled her eyes and fainted again.
Then, he woke up after being pinched on the philtrum and splashed with cold water on his face.
For a moment, the aunt hated the maids who had rescued her.
It would be better to make her faint.
Then they wouldn't have to face such a shameful situation in front of the entire clan.
"Oh God, oh God..."
"I knew you'd be embarrassing, but I never imagined you'd be this embarrassing..."
"You have utterly disgraced the Earl's family..."
The aunt slapped her thigh and burst into tears.
The ladies were astonished.
The aunt, who always loved to put on airs in public, has now broken down and is crying uncontrollably.
so?
Is this really the new daughter-in-law of the Earl's family?
That Miss Jiang, who is known as the most talented woman in the capital?
The women of the clan looked at each other, then all looked at Jiang Yao.
"Are you really my brother-in-law's wife?"
"Are you really the second daughter of the Jiang family?"
