298 Let's see what grand drama she sings.

"A worthy wife spares her husband much woe," Zhang Xiaoying blurted out upon thinking of Madam Liu's arrogant demeanor, "Favoring concubines over the wife, one shall not die a good death."

Without Earl Dongping's indulgence, how would a newly arrived concubine dare to confront and overstep the family matriarch?

"It's laughable that even the old lady of the Earl has been indulging Earl Dongping, attempting to reclaim the matriarchal authority from her!" Nanny Feng mocked, "Doesn't everyone know, the lady of the Earl was forced into the role of household manager like a duck being pushed onto a perch?"

"Now that life has improved, the old lady hopes to be the head of the house again? Is she powerless because the lady of the Earl won't cooperate, preventing her from regaining control?"

"More or less."

Zhang Xiaoying: "..."

This was indeed difficult to judge.
