She is the most noble daughter-in-law in Dream of Red Mansions, and even Wang Xifeng is afraid of her. Who is this person?

This person is Li Wan, the daughter-in-law of the second wife of the Jia family. Her husband passed away very early, but the important thing is that she has a son. In ancient times, if you had a son, you would be strong enough and you would not have to worry about anything. Although Wang Xifeng was Dafang's daughter-in-law, she had no son, so she was only envious of Li Wan.

Although Li Wan could not manage the household in the Jia family, she had a son who was the eldest grandson of the Jia family, so no one dared to disrespect her, and she also received preferential treatment in many places. Li Wan's income in Jia Mansion was very high, several hundred taels of silver a year, which was enough for a peasant family to live for most of their lives. Wang Xifeng even liquidated Li Wan's income in person, but she could only talk about it. That was what Li Wan deserved, and Wang Xifeng could not catch up because Wang Xifeng had no son.

Li Wan’s husband is Jia Zheng’s eldest son. Although he is the second wife, the eldest wife is no longer eligible to inherit, so Li Wan’s son Jia Lan is also eligible to inherit. If the family were separated, Jia Lan and Jia Baoyu would both have the same weight, not to mention that Jia Lan would be the eldest grandson. Although Wang Xifeng was the eldest, she had no sons, which was very influential for inheriting the title. Because of Jia Lan, Li Wan has a poor mother and a noble son, so he will definitely receive preferential treatment.

And if Li Wan taught Jia Lan well, once he gained fame, Li Wan could also earn himself a share of glory. In the society at that time, a widow's chastity memorial arch was quite big. Glory. Obviously the Jia family also has this idea. In addition, Li Wan's background was slightly higher than that of the wives of the Jia family, so although Li Wan no longer had a man, he did not feel inferior at all. This also creates a clear contrast between Li Wan and Wang Xifeng. Wang Xifeng is incomparable no matter how you calculate it.
