The queen is crazy and spoiled, and the tyrant bows to her

Chapter 548 Extra Thank You Banquet (5)

Mrs. Xie's action was undoubtedly to convey to everyone that they in the Yong'an Marquis Mansion recognized and liked the second young lady of the Jiang family who had not yet entered the house.

Everyone in the Xie family in the hall looked at this scene in amazement.

However, Old Madam Xie was unaware of this. She just took Jiang Wantang's hand and looked her around, her kind face full of wrinkled smile lines.

"Our Yan'er has excellent taste. This granddaughter-in-law..."

"Grandma is very satisfied!"

At this time, Xie Zhiyan's mother, Madam Hou, could no longer contain herself. She stood up and walked over, praising Jiang Wantang with a delighted look on her face.

Their enthusiasm and love made Jiang Wantang feel a little at a loss.

She had never felt so embraced and loved before, as if she were some rare treasure.

So much so that, after a long time, Jiang Wantang was still in a daze.

The Xie family's love for her seemed too direct and passionate.

It is the kind of joy and happiness that comes from the heart, not superficial praise.

She could feel it.

So, this is what it feels like to be openly liked, praised, and valued by others...

It turns out that she can also have a moment of being the center of attention like Jiang Wanfu.

Suddenly, a feeling of bitterness and grievance filled my heart...

Jiang Wantang's eyes were burning, but she pursed her lips stubbornly.

Xie Zhiyan, who was standing by, had been keeping an eye on her, noticing every subtle expression and movement of hers.

At this moment, seeing her like this, my heart really hurts.

So, he took a step forward, and with his tall and straight body, he blocked the person behind him like a protective calf, giving her time and space to calm down.

Xie Zhiyan looked at Old Madam Xie and Madam Hou in front of him with a smile, and said helplessly: "Grandmother, Mother, we agreed to be more restrained. Don't get too excited and scare the girl..."

"Yes, yes..." Old Madam Xie smiled and pulled the Marquis's wife back to the main seat.

Everyone in the Xie family present was shocked after seeing what happened.

It would be fine if the old lady and the mistress liked the second Miss Jiang, but perhaps they were women who were too eager for their younger generation to have a successful marriage.

But Xie Zhiyan is different. He is known for his cold and unfeeling nature and apathy towards women...

From the moment he came in to the moment he stepped forward to protect her, anyone with a discerning eye could see that he loved her deeply.

If even he values ​​her so much and has his protection, then no matter whether this Second Miss Jiang is from the countryside or something else, her status in the Xie family will be far higher than theirs in the future and will be unshakable.

Therefore, those members of the Xie clan who had initially looked down on Jiang Wantang's background were now glad that they had not shown anything.

But what shocked them even more was yet to come.

Old Madam Xie pulled Jiang Wantang to her side, then had someone bring in a large rosewood box with a peony pattern and placed it on the long table in the hall.

Then, at the old lady's signal, the servants opened the wooden box.

The moment the lid was opened, a dazzling array of colorful light emerged...

I saw that the box was filled with a whole box of jewelry and head ornaments neatly arranged. They were all dowries that the old lady brought from the palace when she married into the Marquis's Mansion. Each piece was a rare treasure that was collected in pairs.

Old Madam Xie took Jiang Wantang's hand and walked forward, taking out an exquisite small wooden box that took up most of the space in the wooden box from the bottom.

The old lady's fingertips brushed across the gilded brocade box, placed it in front of Jiang Wantang, and said with a kind smile, "Tang girl, open it and take a look."

Jiang Wantang slowly opened it as he was told. After just one glance, his breathing stopped and his eyes widened.

There was a complete set of flower god head ornaments neatly arranged inside. The most eye-catching one in the middle was the flower god crown. On both sides were flower hairpins representing the four seasons of flowers, twelve in total.

It is also made of gemstones of various flower colors, shining brightly and dazzlingly.

Similarly, the moment the brocade box was opened, all the members of the Xie family gasped.

Except for Jiang Wantang, everyone present knew that this was the flower god headdress that shocked the noble ladies in the capital decades ago. It was named Twelve Flowers and was dazzling and unique in the world.

It was specially made by Empress Mingyi for her beloved daughter, Princess Huarong.

And this Princess Huarong is the current Madam Xie.

No one expected that she would give away such a valuable thing so easily.

This...this hasn't even gotten married yet?

Jiang Wantang knew how precious this headpiece was just by looking at it, not to mention the reactions of everyone present.

She subconsciously wanted to decline politely, as she felt unworthy of such a valuable item.

Not to mention that she and Xie Zhiyan were only in a contract marriage.

However, just as Jiang Wantang was about to push it out, Madam Xie knew her intention. She closed the brocade box, put it into a large wooden box, and directly ordered the servants to put it away for Jiang Wantang.

She held Jiang Wantang's hand and said with a smile, "Tang girl, this is a gift from grandma. It's also a token of her love."

"Good boy, just keep it!"

Immediately afterwards, Madam Hou also came over, took Jiang Wantang's hand with a smile, and took off the blood jade bracelet that represented the inheritance of the Xie family in her hand and put it on Jiang Wantang's wrist.

Jiang Wantang felt her wrist sink, and she didn't even have time to refuse.

Then, she felt a warmth spreading through her skin and all over her body...

Jiang Wantang's pupils were filled with surprise.

This is......?!

Jiang Wantang raised her hand and saw that the blood jade bracelet was bright red in color. The blood color all over it flowed like a warm current. It was definitely not an ordinary blood jade.

The Marquis's wife smiled gently, "My dear child, this is a blood jade bracelet that has been passed down from our Yong'an Marquis Mansion. It's a perfect gift for you."

Jiang Wantang's pupils trembled suddenly, and she looked at Xie Zhiyan who was smiling deeply at the side.

She blinked, and her eyes seemed to say: Your mother gave me the heirloom, why didn't you stop her?

Xie Zhiyan raised his eyebrows and smiled nonchalantly, meaning: Just take it if I give it to you. Anyway, we agreed that you can take whatever you want from the Xie Mansion's things.

Jiang Wantang's heart sank and he looked away.

That being said, she didn't know that anything she was given could be so valuable!

Who would give an heirloom as a gift?

Jiang Wantang lowered her eyes and looked at the heavy blood jade bracelet in her hand. Just when she didn't know what to say to refuse, Xie Chongqing, the head of the Xie family, coughed twice and walked over.

His usually dignified and stern face now looked a little reserved, which was unusual.

He thought for a moment, then forced a fake smile that was uglier than crying. Seeing Jiang Wantang's delicate and frail appearance, he softened his tone unconsciously for fear of scaring her...
