The Stepmother’s Counterattack: Raising a Child in a Bygone Era

Chapter 406 - 405 Seizing Power from Father



Having known Zhong Qing for nearly three years, this was Shen Mingzhu’s first visit to the Zhong Family home.

Although the Zhong Family’s residence couldn’t match the luxury of the Ning Family or the grandeur of the Yan Family, it was certainly more spacious and majestic than the average home.

The European-style architecture, it was said, had housed many notable scholars and celebrities, before it eventually ended up in the hands of the Zhong Family.

The interior decoration of the Zhong Family home could truly be described as opulent, especially the purple sandalwood furniture filling every room and the valuable porcelain seen everywhere, all proving the immense wealth and prosperity of the Zhong Family.

Throughout the visit, Shen Mingzhu closely monitored her daughter, fearing she might accidentally break one of the valuable ornaments in the living room and that selling their entire family wouldn’t even cover the cost.

Noticing her anxiety, Zhong Qing had Zhong Yin take Pei Ziheng and Guoguo to the entertainment room to play, while she took Shen Mingzhu upstairs to visit her own room.

As for Pei Yang, he and Yan Yi sat in the living room, sick of each other’s company.

Considering Zhong Min was still young and wanting Pei Yang to feel comfortable, Zhong Qing had specially invited Yan Yi over to act as the man of the house and help entertain their guest.

"Dr. Yan isn’t young anymore, when do you plan to tie the knot with Miss Zhong?"

"Next year."
