Jiang Wanwan first opened one of the bundles, inside which was a stack of fine Xuan paper, two fine wolf-hair brushes, an inkstone, and two ink sticks. In addition, there were two five-tael silver ingots and a letter.
She looked at the contents of the bundle and smiled.
Su Er gave her ten taels of silver, mostly to mock her and to dismiss her like a beggar.
She rubbed her hands together, excitedly picked up the ten taels of silver; free silver was always a joy.
The way Su Er mocks and looks down on her is just so adorable.
She hoped that Su Er would use silver to mock her whenever she had the chance, whether it was one tael, five taels, or ten taels, the more the better, she wouldn't mind.
Jiang Wanwan smiled and put the silver back into her bundle. Then she opened another bundle, which was given to her by Su Si.
Su Si also brought her writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones, as well as two pieces of fabric that were not fashionable in the capital.
In addition, there were two ingots of silver, each worth ten taels. Plus a silver hairpin that was as ordinary as could be.
Hmm, the young lady is quite nice, much more generous than Su Er.
Jiang Wanwan happily picked up the letter Su Si had written to her and quickly began to read it.
In the letter, Su Si first boasted about the luxurious life he lived in the General's Mansion, then lamented how pitiful Jiang Wanwan was, living a life of hunger, sleep deprivation, and wearing tattered clothes all day long. The cloth, silver, and hairpins in the bundle were all gifts for her.
It's not hard to see that the words are full of arrogance and boasting.
Jiang Wanwan could imagine that Su Si must have been grinning from ear to ear when he wrote this letter to her.
A noble lady of the capital, she was finally trampled underfoot by Su Si.
Besides these details, Su Si also mentioned that Jiang Wanwan had provided her with information about the Crown Prince, which was extremely useful to her. Using this information, she personally made a pastry for the Crown Prince, who then treated her with new respect, and for the first time, the esteemed Crown Prince spoke with her for a while.
This made Su Si feel that if she put in a little more effort, she could become the Crown Princess.
However, at this point in the letter, Su Si abruptly changed his tone and began to hurl insults.
The target of the scolding was naturally Su Wan'er. Originally, Su Si's path to currying favor with His Highness the Crown Prince was very smooth, but unexpectedly, everything changed after Su Wan'er fell in the garden and was unconscious for three days.
Su Wan'er managed to win over the mighty General Su Mu completely, and even used some clever tricks to make him a favorite of the emperor.
Su Mu granted Su Wan'er's every request, and even introduced her to the Crown Prince.
After this point in the letter, the rest became irrelevant. It consisted entirely of Su Si harshly criticizing Su Wan'er and comparing her to Jiang Wanwan, thus degrading Su Wan'er to nothing.
Jiang Wanwan carefully put away Su Si's letter and then picked up Su Er's letter to read.
The beginning of Su Er's letter was very similar to that of Su Si's, both of which belittled Jiang Wanwan in order to highlight her noble status.
Later, Su Er mentions that after Su Wan'er fell and woke up in the garden, her personality changed drastically. She went from being timid and cowardly to being decisive and uncompromising.
Su Wan'er used swift and decisive methods to severely punish all the maids and old women who had deceived her. Not only that, she used every means to curry favor with Su Mu, devising strategies that helped Su Mu gain the emperor's favor and be promoted one rank.
