Because Long Dan's wife can't afford these real jewels anyway, they must have been given by others. As for why others will give Long Dan's wife such precious jewels, the reason is self-evident.
After betraying her husband, in order to cover up the truth, she can only lie and tell her husband that these jewels are fake, and then enjoy the joy brought by these jewels aboveboard. If she had not died suddenly, her husband would not have known the truth.
This also satirizes the hypocrisy of his wife, thus satirizing the vanity and selfishness of French society at that time.

Creative background:
/kloc-hypocrisy, selfishness and greed prevailed in French society in the late 0/9th century. Although Mo Bosang's attitude towards bourgeois civilization at that time was contradictory, he was most keenly aware of the poverty, meanness and hypocrisy of bourgeois civilization. What makes him particularly sad is that in capitalist society, people "live under the dictatorship of remuneration" and "kneel in front of money idols".
In such a society, pure love is rare after all, and he once sang several sweet romances (short stories such as Happiness and Madan Girl). However, this realist writer reveals the abnormal phenomenon of love and marriage caused by the capitalist system, and works such as inheritance, will and jewelry are footnotes of abnormal marriage in the money society.
