Chapter 581 - 579 Letter
Madam Liang’s words led Ye Xinyan to some speculation. Raising an eyebrow, she asked, "How many concubines does your father have?"
"Four," Zhou Biyao replied.
"Hmm, quite a few." No wonder Madam Liang had such a sentiment, "You’re not saying this because you’ve grown to dislike Wong Qiao, are you?"
Zhou Biyao was startled, her face flushing red, "Sister Qi, your words are becoming more and more improper."
"That’s good to know. If you still blush, it means you still like him deeply. That’s good, at least you have some warmth and brightness in your heart when facing Lady Zhao’s cold demeanor," Ye Xinyan nodded.
As long as Lady Zhao knew to give and take, it suggested she still had reservations about something.
In fact, Lady Zhao understood her own weight and managed to be flexible. Realizing that she couldn’t rely on the wife of the heir of Duke An, Qi Younian wouldn’t support her, and facing the prospect of returning to live the challenging life of a common craftsman family in her hometown, she chose to compromise.
This made things easier. Ye Xinyan was indeed worried that Lady Zhao was the kind of person who would rather break than bend. If Lady Zhao preferred to return to Hezhou to live the insecure life of an ordinary citizen, insisting on maintaining the full dignity of a mother-in-law, that would have been difficult to handle.
