After the stewards left, the news that Jiang Shuwan was playing with the pearls immediately spread throughout the entire mansion.
"Young mistress is truly remarkable! She actually strung such a precious object as a pearl into beads to play with!"
“She strung together at least five or six strings of beads, each with a dozen or so beads, and then embroidered them on the screen to form two butterflies.”
"This is truly an eye-opener. In all my years, this is the first time I've ever seen a butterfly made of sea pearls."
"Who says otherwise? I've never seen one either. Tsk tsk, especially that pearl on the butterfly's head, my goodness, it's bigger than my thumb."
"I don't know what the young mistress was thinking. Such a big pearl, even if there was only one set in jewelry, countless people would be envious and jealous of it. But she just set it in a screen to play with."
"And it used two pearls, two butterflies, both heads are large pearls, and the lower body is also completely inlaid with pearls."
"The screen was originally worth no more than a thousand taels of silver, but now its value has increased dozens of times."
"My goodness, if I were the little maid who takes care of the screen, I'm afraid I wouldn't dare to do any other work every day. I would just stare at the butterflies. If even one butterfly is missing, the whole family would have to sell their houses to make up for it."
"Young mistress is so extravagant! She even has pearls set into butterflies to play with!"
"The key point is that the old lady loved it very much! Chang Mama was there at the time. Seeing the young mistress treating Haizhu so badly, Chang Mama was all smiles and didn't look unhappy at all."
"Mother Chang also praised the young mistress for her cleverness."
“Mother Chang has served the old lady for forty years, and her words are just like the old lady’s own words.”
"Tsk tsk tsk, it's clear how high the young mistress's status is in the old lady's heart."
"A new bride sneaking into the life of a young mistress like this is truly unprecedented!"
"That was the old lady's dowry; if the madam finds out, she'll be furious..."
When Wen received the news, he was indeed furious.
Her eyes were bloodshot and her expression was crazed. She gripped the head maid tightly, her eyes looking as if she wanted to devour her.
"Did the old lady really give her dowry to Jiang?"
"Did Jiang string those two boxes of sea pearls together to make butterflies?"
"Madam, please calm down." The head maid said with a mournful face; her face was swollen like a pig's head and was already in great pain.
Now, Wen's fingernails were digging into her flesh, causing her excruciating pain and her face contorted in agony.
Wen was completely unable to calm down. Anger and resentment surged within her like a raging sea, especially after seeing the head maid nod with a bitter face. Her emotions overwhelmed her.
His eyes rolled back and he fainted.
"Madam! Madam!..."
"Someone come quick, call a doctor!"
The news quickly reached Qingxing's ears.
The little girl laughed so hard she almost fell over, while Xiao Tao was completely dumbfounded.
"The lady actually fainted from anger?"
"It can't be that bad, it's not like Madam can't afford Haizhu."
Chun Jiao and Mei Xue were also doing embroidery by the fire inside the house. When they heard what Qing Xing said, they were speechless.
"The lady has been in charge of the Marquis's mansion for twenty years. The mansion is very wealthy. A single clan banquet would cost a thousand taels of silver just for burning candles."
"Madam is not short of money, and she comes from a royal merchant family with a generous dowry. How could she faint from anger over two boxes of sea pearls?"
"Why not?!"
"Even if the wife can afford it, she still has to buy it herself!"
"Last time, we wasted thirty taels of silver, and Madam was so distressed that she couldn't sleep. This time, the old lady has directly rewarded our young lady with two boxes of pearls."
“Haizhu is so expensive! Madam asked the old lady for it so many times before, but the old lady didn’t give it to her. Now she’s given it to our young lady directly. Madam must be so angry that she faints.”
"Madam, she's treating the old lady's things as her own private property."
While eating melon seeds, Qingxing analyzed the situation with them.
"As soon as the lady entered the house, the old lady handed over the reins of the household without giving her any trouble."
“Over the years, the madam has been the only one in the household, and the old lady has not interfered in managing the household affairs. Now she is getting old.”
"I reckon that in the old lady's eyes, the old lady's dowry is almost hers. Otherwise, what's wrong with the old lady giving her her own dowry? It's not her dowry. She even fainted from anger."
"They really want to take everything into their own room..."
Qingxing was very disdainful. She felt that Wen's money-grubbing nature was even worse than that of the aunt.
They're completely obsessed with money.
The fact that Old Madam Pei bestowed upon her dowry had absolutely nothing to do with her; she was so angry that she fainted.
Anyone who didn't know better would think he took her dowry.
"Oh dear, why is Madam like this?"
"She is, after all, the daughter of a royal merchant..."
Everyone was sighing in amazement. When Qingxing saw Jiang Shuwan standing there in a daze, she quickly brought over a handful of peeled melon seeds.
"Miss, what are you thinking about!"
"I'm thinking, should we hire a doctor for you?"
"Sir? What sir?"
"Scholar".
Qingxing: "..."
Chun Jiao and Xue Mei: "..."
Granny Tao, Xiao Tao, and all the maids and nannies in the room fell silent.
Soon, the news that Jiang Shuwan was going to hire a tutor to teach the maids and nannies in the house to read spread throughout the entire Marquis's mansion.
"Are you crazy? Does the young mistress really want to hire a tutor to teach the servants to read?"
"This information seems too fake?"
“In the capital, no noble family would hire a tutor for their servants.”
"Only law-abiding citizens are qualified to study, and it's all men who study. What's the point of women studying..."
The entire Marquis's mansion received not a single letter.
But once an unfamiliar woman entered Jiang Shuwan's courtyard, they had no choice but to believe it or not.
"I've seen the young mistress."
