Chapter 753 - 363 - The Scheming Father (For Jian and Rose+)_1
Huo Shuqin had several sisters-in-law, but she liked Qian Manting, who was married to a lesser-ranked brother, the most and was the one she was most willing to interact with. It was not only because Qian Manting had good looks and temperament, and appeared most like a lady from an aristocratic family, but also because of her relation to Zhu Sujin.
Therefore, she instructed Madam Huo that whenever she came to the Eastern Palace to see her, she must bring Qian Manting, letting the Crown Prince know that she valued the Qian family members and liked to be close to them.
Yet her mother scolded Qian Manting like this, even speaking of her as "from a small household."
The Crown Prince had grown up in the Qian family. If Qian Manting was from a small household, wouldn’t the Crown Prince be considered the same? Many of her attendants were sent by the Crown Prince, and if he heard such words, wouldn’t he harbor resentment toward her?
Huo Shuqin, no longer able to cry, whispered reproachfully, "Mother, what are you talking about? How am I supposed to get along with His Highness the Crown Prince if you speak of my sister-in-law like that?"
Madam Huo’s face reddened as she coaxed her daughter with a few words.
As they were talking, Pan Yue and Qian Yixiu came to visit together.
There weren’t many female visitors who came to see Huo Shuqin in her chamber today. Even though Pan Yue and Qian Yixiu were not very familiar with Huo Liangyuan, they still came because of the marriage connection between the Qian and Huo families.
Seeing the expressions and red eyes of Huo Shuqin, Madam Huo, and Qian Manting, Pan Yue and Qian Yixiu could guess what had happened.
Qian Yixiu secretly thought that smart people, no matter the situation, can live well. Those who are not smart may not necessarily lead a good life.
The person with the lowest family status actually had the highest aspirations.
