Shen Weiwan had no intention of trying to get married to her concubine, she just wanted to keep the dowry left by her mother.
Until she was pushed against the ancient shelf and her mother's old jade pendant was stained with blood, she heard the object's heartbeat.
From then on, she used her hands as ears to listen to the last words of the old jade, the origin of the porcelain vase, and the hidden secrets of the dowry. On behalf of the female family members, they identify authenticity, pursue dowries, and seize inheritances. They open a Qing Jade Pavilion specifically for women to appraise treasures and establish deeds to keep private property.
The clan said she was evil, the chamber of commerce wanted to take over her business, and the ethics reprimanded her for showing up.
She used the white-drawing embroidery method taught by her mother to sew every case into ironclad evidence; she used the dowry account book left by her father to nail every corruption on the contract.
Xie Yanzhi, the judge of Dali Temple, went from disdain to appreciation, and finally testified for her in the Jinluan Hall.
She said: "I don't want to marry, I just want to be myself."
——This is the story of an ancient woman using artifacts to remember her property.
Purpose: A woman's dowry in ancient times was private property and had nothing to do with her husband's family - when the system ignores it, the only way to prove it is by oneself
