Chapter 1207: An Eye for an Eye

Editor: Henyee Translations

She remained resolute about her stance on the mulberry fields, yet she conceded defeat to Zhao Mu. As a gesture towards him, she even procured two younger and more alluring concubines.

Out of concern for her husband’s well-being and the family’s reputation, the two concubines she presented to him hailed from respectable families. They possessed not only beauty but also impeccable manners and gentleness, making them the epitome of ideal companions.

Further contemplation on this matter seemed unnecessary.

Her new focus shifted towards enhancing the allure of these young women to captivate her husband’s attention.

Zhao Mu, feeling his dignity restored, exuded happiness. He diligently visited the quarters of the two recent concubines without any objection, symbolizing his compliance.

Ms. Qin grew anxious and resorted to confrontation with the newly introduced concubines. Observing with a derisive grin, Ms. Zheng orchestrated assistance for the concubines, enabling them to engage in a more formidable struggle against Ms. Qin.

This behavior highlighted the disposition of those inclined towards turmoil, seemingly content with turmoil rather than embracing a harmonious existence.

Had Ms. Qin refrained from such actions and refrained from whispering malicious words behind Ms. Zheng’s back, the latter might not have resorted to these tactics.

As a result of this stratagem, Ms. Zheng’s life unfolded tranquilly over the following two years.

During this interim period, she clandestinely acquired properties in Huzhou and Hangzhou for her son, liquidating her own substantial dowries.

As anticipated, Ms. Qin exhibited restlessness. Eager to secure a daughter-in-law for her eldest son, who had recently turned 14, she urgently sought a resolution.

The means by which she persuaded Zhao Mu remained a mystery, but he eventually approached Ms. Zheng for discussion.

Her conscience somewhat unsettled, she entered the conversation.

Zhao Mu’s past actions had led to her disappointment, yet her displeasure had now waned.

Ultimately, she assented.

Why not? Wouldn’t that infuse the entire situation with more vibrancy?

She harbored no concern over the possibility of Ms. Qin aiming to compete by seeking a daughter-in-law.

The behavior and characteristics of Zhao Di and Zhao Ye had been abundantly clear to her over the past couple of years.

Hence, her sense of worry remained nonexistent.

What a pair of imbeciles they were!

Admittedly, it was Ms. Qin who once guided her before her enlightenment. However, Ms. Qin lacked the capacity for magnanimity and open-mindedness, alongside any notable virtues.

While she harbored no inclination to meddle in Zhao Zhai’s marital affairs, she chose to keep her intentions concealed.

Given Ms. Qin’s narrow-minded disposition, it was all too predictable that she would attempt to obstruct the process of arranging her son’s marriage to prevent a potentially unfavorable union.

As anticipated, it took only a matter of days for Zhao Mu to broach this topic with Ms. Zheng.

Traditionally, the maternal figure held authority over the matrimonial matters concerning concubines’ sons and daughters. Although Zhao Mu himself questioned the propriety of his involvement, Ms. Qin’s assertion was valid—Zhao Di, as his eldest son, held a distinct status among his progeny. Consequently, the selection of his prospective spouse warranted careful consideration.

In Ms. Zheng’s heart, only her third son occupied prominence, rendering her indifferent to Zhao Zhai’s marital situation.

Considering Ms. Qin’s role as the mother, it was her responsibility to undertake this endeavor.

Internally harboring a sense of disdain, Ms. Zheng expertly simulated deep contemplation, abstaining from immediate response.

After an extended pause, she exerted effort to articulate, “Were it not for your decision, it is conceivable that outsiders might have propagated certain speculations.”

Zhao Mu interjected, affirming, “Indeed, no one shall cast aspersions upon the integrity of the Zhao Family’s marital affairs.”

Internally, Ms. Zheng responded with a derisive smirk before releasing a resigned sigh. “That approach is feasible as well. Alternatively, I could feign illness, prompting Ms. Qin to step in for some plausible reason.”

Zhao Mu’s elation was palpable. “Very well, that’s an excellent idea!”
