Madam Zhuang's thoughts were simple; she felt worried, thinking that her daughter might end up with two mothers-in-law in the future.
Having just one Empress to worry about already frightened her, and now suddenly there would be an additional mother-in-law. If they get along well, it would be fine, but if not, her daughter would truly be in a difficult position.
"Don't let your thoughts run wild." Marquis Taiping, knowing his wife was straightforward in thinking about these issues, consoled her: "I've dealt with Fourth Master Xiao before. He is not a simple man. You see, he could calmly resign his position during the critical moment of the heir selection, showing the depth of his cunning and that he is a man of patience and strategy. You just meet Fourth Madam without knowing these matters, treating it as ordinary interactions between women. I'll handle the rest."
Madam Zhuang absent-mindedly agreed, feeling unprecedentedly nervous about tomorrow's meeting.
