“It’s all their fault! It’s his fault! He used those won to provoke and turn them against ! Why should I treat them kindly? Why!” Third Mada cried out, her hands covering her face.
Auntie Ling had dismissed Yuzan and the others, but she couldn’t help feeling saddened. She wiped her eyes and said, “Mada, we are won, and n can be quite unpredictable. You must gather yourself and think about what Elder Miss should do!”
Third Mada’s face contorted with anger as she fiercely declared, “I will never forgive that woman! She’s delusional if she thinks she can marry Young Master Ning! Old Master blas for not raising my daughter well, but what about Concubine Du? Is she doing a great job? How dare she steal her own sister’s fiancé! Shaless!”
Auntie Ling hesitated before speaking, “But Mada Qiao, the marriage has already been settled, so…”
“And so what?” Third Mada sneered. “I am the birth mother, and I have a say in this marriage! I deeply regret it! How could I have allowed them to continue? I should have strangled them when they were young. No, I should have prevented their existence altogether! I deeply regret it, I deeply regret it…”
Third Mada was overwheld, her anger burning within her.
She had regretted so many tis before, yet with each passing instance, her regret only grew stronger.
Fate had been cruel to her.
Auntie Ling couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. Regret was the word Mada Qiao used most frequently. But what else could be expected? If she were in Mada Qiao’s position, she too would be filled with regret.
Of the two concubine’s daughters, one had always been ek since childhood, while the other constantly sought the favor of Mada Qiao and Elder Miss, behaving worse than a servant.
But these two daughters, whom Mada Qiao and Elder Miss regarded as no better than animals, had completely overturned their lives.
A farr who married into a farr’s family had risen to beco a prominent scholar, an officer, and even caught the Emperor’s attention. She made significant contributions and received praise and rewards from the court. She was in the spotlight!
The other daughter was even worse—she had stolen Elder Miss’ marriage and caused Elder Miss to lose her composure in front of everyone, tarnishing her image and reputation. What would happen in the future?
Those two incidents were not the end of it. Young Master, who had a promising future, had also been demoted, and it was the Emperor himself who personally issued the demotion. Mada Qiao couldn’t bear the thought of it.
No one would dare to promote Young Master without the Emperor’s approval. Absolutely no one.
If Qiao Wei could marry into the Marquis of An’s Mansion, perhaps there would be a chance to rectify the situation. But if it were Qiao Kou who got married, Mada Qiao would be powerless to help Young Master. It would be a humiliation!
Mada’s life was filled with misery!
Auntie Ling felt a deep sorrow and sighed. However, there was nothing she could do but offer so futile words of consolation to Third Mada Qiao.
Third Mada’s expression kept shifting as she stared into the empty space before her, seemingly alternating between listening to Auntie Ling’s words and drifting into a trance-like state.
