Chapter 258 -101: Jewelry_3

Yueyao burst into tears, “Grandmother, rest assured, I’ve committed it all to heart.” A dowry is fundamental to a woman’s status, and she would certainly not use it to support her husband’s family. If it were to be used, it should only be by her son.

The Old Madam had spoken so much today, her body somewhat failed to hold up, extremely exhausted she said, “I’m tired, you should rest too!” Then she closed her eyes to rest.

Yuehuan didn’t share Yueyao’s sense of loss. In her heart, this was simply an unexpected fortune. As soon as she got back to the room alone with Maternal Aunt Su, Yuehuan eagerly opened the box.

Yuehuan, looking at the two cases full of jewelry, her eyes sparkled. These items were indeed genuine, all previously fine items! Holding the three thousand silver notes in her hand, she exhaled deeply, pulling Maternal Aunt Su’s arm, “Maternal Auntie, we’re no longer poor, we have money now.”

Maternal Aunt Su glanced at the jewelry in the case and sighed lightly. The jewelry was either gold or silver, the most noteworthy being adorned with grains of gemstones. There wasn’t a single piece among these two cases of jewelry made with the point-set craft. Having been in Lian Mansion for many years, she was well aware that the Old Madam had plenty of fine items, yet her daughter hadn’t received a single one. Maternal Aunt Su now felt some regret, she should have encouraged her daughter to get closer to the Old Madam had she known earlier; thus, her daughter wouldn’t have had to face such a disadvantage. Thinking about those exquisite pieces the Old Madam had once worn, she couldn’t help but feel a pang in her heart. The Old Madam was really too biased. Not to mention giving even one piece.

Yuehuan tried on a crimson jade and gold bracelet, “Maternal Auntie, does it look good?” She thought it incredibly beautiful, truly. Such a piece would be worth millions in modern times.

Maternal Aunt Su didn’t want to dampen her daughter’s spirits and smiled, “It looks beautiful.”

Yuebing was overjoyed upon receiving so many fine items, her face beamed with a smile that she couldn’t hide. Once in her room, she opened the cases and her eyes dazzled. She laughed like a blooming flower, shifting from one piece of jewelry to another, endlessly enjoying the process.

Lady Mo saw the jewelry in the four cases but wasn’t very pleased; aside from one set of jade jewelry and a few assorted pieces that could be considered exquisite, the rest were only average.

Lady Mo thought about what Yueyao had received, “Go find out what the Third Young Lady got.” If the Old Madam truly wanted fairness, she would have opened the cases for everyone to see at the time. The Old Madam’s actions were surely a sign she wanted to hide something. This confirmed that the pieces given to the four young ladies were different, and surely the Third Young Lady got the best ones.

Upon hearing Lady Mo’s words, Yuebing’s previous joy was instantly gone, setting down the smooth pearl necklace in her hand, “Mother, are you saying Third Young Sister got more, even better than mine?” If that were so, then Grandmother truly showed extreme partiality.

Lady Mo shook her head, “Probably not more than yours, but what she received must be better.” Lady Mo couldn’t be completely certain, as she had no idea how many exquisite items the Old Madam still had.

Hearing Granny Lau say that Yueyao left the Old Madam’s room empty-handed, Lady Mo shook her head, “The Old Madam would never let anyone call her unfair. She has always said she treats everyone equally.” Even if the Old Madam wanted to provide extra, she would do it secretly, never allowing any talk of unfairness, so she never suspected the Old Madam would give Yueyao anything additional.

After her excitement, Yuehuan turned to Maternal Aunt Su, “Maternal Auntie, with these items, our lives will be better from now on.” Yuehuan thought, with so much money, they wouldn’t be as financially strained, making life easier from now on.

Maternal Aunt Su stroked Yuehuan’s head, “These are your dowry, Auntie and Tinglun won’t use them. You’re grown up now, you should keep these items safe.”

Yuehuan laughed and shook her head, “Maternal Auntie, didn’t you say that father would prepare a dowry for me later? Besides, the dowry isn’t needed for several more years, there’s no rush.” She then chose a pair of Red Jadeite Droplet Earrings for Maternal Aunt Su to wear, and praised, “They look truly beautiful on you, Maternal Auntie.”

Maternal Aunt Su smilingly said, “Put them away quickly, and keep them safe.” How could she use her daughter’s dowry, as those were fundamental for her daughter to establish herself in her husband’s family.

Yuehuan thought about it and put away the jewelry. She looked at the silver notes in her hand one last time before handing them to Maternal Aunt Su, “Maternal Auntie, hold onto these silver notes for now. We have many expenses, and if you run into any cash flow problems, feel free to use them. If they’re still untouched when I get married, you can give them back to me, how about that?” Although Yuehuan also wanted to keep the silver notes herself, she couldn’t be so selfish; they were really short on funds, to the extent that both she and Tingzheng suffered from malnutrition. Although their situation had improved, having money in hand was always an advantage.
