If Yan Liu had been more discreet in the past, if she had understood her place and not coveted what wasn't hers, if she hadn't tried to suppress the main wife as a mere concubine or sow discord between Song Qinghan and Xu Anxing, then she would not have met such an end.

Besides, after moving out of the Marquis Mansion, she was no longer under the thumb of Marchioness Wu Xin. With only Xu Anxing to indulge her, her audacity grew and grew, allowing Song Nanyong to seize upon her as a fatal weakness.

The conflict between the Song Family and the Marquis Wuxin Mansion had dragged on for several years. Because of Song Qinghan's spinelessness, the Song Family had mostly been on the losing end.
