Ding Yuehua looked at her fixedly for a long time before letting out a long sigh. I didn’t expect Miss Lu to be so insightful. Compared to you, the Jiang family’s horizons can’t be considered blinkered. They’re simply stupid.”
What Shu Yu wanted was to extend the topic to the Jiang family. As expected, it was as she wished.
“The Jiang family.” Shu Yu sighed.” I didn’t expect the Jiang family to make such a hasty decision without thinking. Moreover, it was so grand that it caused a storm in the city and even caused the third Miss of the residence to commit suicide. I originally wanted to ask you to help me advertise. The shop had just opened, and I wished that all the women in the city were my guests. Now that heard this, I felt that I should keep a respectful distance from the
Jiang family’s women.”
Who knew that Ding Yuehua would have a different opinion when she heard this. “The Jiang family is indeed not easy to get along with, but not everyone is difficult to deal with. The second branch of the Jiang family was not bad, but they were not favored by the Jiang family. When the third young master of the Jiang family was engaged to our family, it was originally…”
She paused and hesitated for a moment before saying, “To tell you the truth, when our family and the Jiang family were engaged in a marriage alliance, I was the first person to marry. It’s just that my appearance is general, and the third young master of the Jiang family is not happy. He has taken a fancy to my sister.”
This matter made her parents very angry, especially her mother. She felt that the Jiang family was simply sick. Why did the legitimate daughter not want a concubine’s daughter?
However, through this incident, Mrs. Ding understood that Young Master Jiang had a foppish personality and was also willful. He was even pampered by the Jiang family to the point that he was allowed to make his own decisions. He was not a good match at all.
Since the Ding family was destined to marry into the Jiang family, Mrs. Ding felt there was no problem letting the concubines daughter marry over.
However, Ding Yuehua, who was originally not confident in her appearance, was also greatly affected by this matter. She cared more about her appearance.
“Although the Ding and Jiang families finally negotiated a marriage, it was not very pleasant. The other members of the Jiang family did not care. They even felt that the young master of the legitimate master had suffered a loss by marrying the concubine’s daughter of the Shu family. However, they did not think about it. This was their Third Young Masters request. Only the second branch and his wife were very resistant to this matter. To convince the Jiang family elders, the second branch, which they did not like, was directly separated in the end.”
Shu Yu’s hand paused. The Jiang family would regret it.
The wife of the second branch, Madam Deng, would soon reunite with the wife of the vice minister of the central judicial office. At that time, wouldn’t the Jiang family regret it?
Ding Yuehua said, “After they split up, the second branch’s life wasn’t easy.
They were only assigned to a wine shop and woke up early every day. They earned less than thirty taels of silver a month.”
Shu Yu was speechless. Thirty taels of silver, you call that not easy?
She was now very sure that Ding Yuehua was a rich woman. It was a huge loss for her to not take her silver last time.
Behind her, Daya’s eyes widened. Thirty taels of silver, that much?
Ding Yuehua did not know what the two of them were thinking. She was still a little emotional. “But I’ve been to the second branch’s wine shop a few times and become familiar with the Deng family. Gradually, I’ve had some contact with them. The Deng family is not bad. I can introduce you to them next time.”
Shu Yu was speechless. She didn’t even need to say anything, and it came to her automatically.
She smiled and nodded. “Sure.”
As she spoke, she put down her hand. “It’s done. Take a look.”
Ding Yuehua was stunned. She raised her head and looked at the bronze mirror.
The next moment, her eyes widened.. “Is it me?
