That day, after the contract was signed, Su Wenyue sent Jin Qiao back to the Su Family. For one thing, there really was no place for Jin Qiao to stay at her home, and since the family had not yet divided its property, she couldn’t act entirely on her own impetus. Moreover, growing up in such an environment, although Jin Qiao could do quite a lot of farm work, she knew nothing about the rules and etiquette.
If she were to follow Su Wenyue’s side, learning these basic rules was essential. Otherwise, as Han Yu’s status rose, these shortcomings would be exposed. It would be embarrassing for both of them and could even bring unnecessary trouble, making it difficult for her to fit into higher circles.
Those noble Madams have their own standards for judging people, which include the quality of the servant girls by their side. This is part of the criteria used to determine whether or not someone is worth interacting with. Even An Family’s Matriarch judged by these standards. A household of deep heritage has servant girls who behave more properly than those from smaller homes. Therefore, it was necessary for Su Wenyue to send Jin Qiao back to the Su Family, to be properly trained by her mother.
Despite having lived two lifetimes, Su Wenyue still fell short in this area; after all, in her previous life, she was only a concubine and didn’t need to learn what a Mistress needed to know, just how to please a man.
This life, she wanted to learn, but when she was reborn, she was already married. It was rare for her to return to her mother’s family, and currently, the only one who could teach her was An Family’s Matriarch. In a small place like Xinye County, there weren’t many who truly understood the rules and etiquette of the gentry, making it close to impossible for An Family’s Matriarch to teach her, at most providing her with a few pointers during visits home.
Considering Han Yu’s future position, Su Wenyue was determined to learn these things, not only to make herself look good and not to be belittled, but also because interactions among these women weren’t just simple matters. If done well, they could even provide some behind-the-scenes assistance to Han Yu.
However, Jin Qiao really was a good child. If properly guided, she could be not just a loyal servant but also capable of managing on her own.
Su Wenyue was preoccupied with planning for her own future. With the experience from her previous life and knowing Han Yu’s future achievements, her vision naturally became broader. She didn’t pay too much attention to characters like Yang Juxiang and her daughter, who were jumping about like clowns. However, her actions over the past two days did not escape the notice of Yang Juxiang and her daughter.
Yang Juxiang, thinking it over, felt some regret too. The Fourth Daughter-in-law’s family was so wealthy that even a little bit slipping through their fingers could provide many benefits for her. Unfortunately, her daughter had offended them from the start, so how could they think well of them now? They had missed out on many advantages.
