Chapter 597 - 608 Candid Conversation
Concubine Du strangled the fish to death with a bloodthirsty smile at the corner of her mouth, then threw the dead fish back into the tank.

Young Master Jie was hit on the head with a teacup by Master Jie until he bled profusely, and while he clung tightly to his beloved, not wanting her to worry, he left the residence to find a doctor outside to dress his wounds.
He had no idea that a major incident would occur in the residence today.
Concubine Du, with her maid in tow, went to find Miss Du. Since Miss Du had clearly expressed her wish to divorce Young Master Jie, Concubine Du’s attitude towards her had softened somewhat.
She thought to herself, there’s no need to harbor so much hatred at this critical juncture. If she was pressed too hard and changed her mind about the divorce, wouldn’t it be a loss for me? As long as she’s not a wife of the Jie Family, she is nothing but a lowly cast-off woman. Once I become the principal wife, wouldn’t it be easy to deal with her then?
"Big sister, I’ve come to visit you," said Concubine Du earnestly, even bringing with her the pastries Miss Du loved.
Miss Du understood what she meant. The divorce hadn’t been finalized for so long, and now she was getting antsy.
She said indifferently, "There’s no need for such gestures. It’s a matter of time before Young Master Jie and I divorce. Master Jie will come around."
