The Du Family had always been jealous of her sister-in-law's beauty and talent. Now, upon knowing her sister-in-law had risen to become the Empress, her heart was sour with envy, thinking that once Dong Han entered the palace, her status would be different, and she would never again have the opportunity to speak to her in such a tone, so she naturally had to seize the chance to assert her authority as the elder sister-in-law.
Dong Han only listened without responding.
Seeing that she was being ignored, Du Family rolled her eyes again.
Then, Dong Wenbo, who had been silent all this while, said, "The harem is a place of strife and intrigue; no matter what happens in the future, remember what your father has told you."
Dong Han nodded.
Her father had been in the officialdom for decades, having experienced the cruel realities of life, taught her from a young age: kindness is only for those who are good to you.
