Zhao Zhai and Zhao Ye were growing increasingly frustrated with the situation.
Ms. Qin's pitiful crying had become a common occurrence. However, the one responsible for these complaints was no longer Ms. Zheng; it was the new madame, who proved to be even more adept at it. What made matters worse was that she was younger than Ms. Zheng, making her appear even more endearing when she wept.
Zhao Mu was well aware of Ms. Qin's intentions. As a result, his treatment of her had changed, and he was now favoring his new daughter-in-law. He believed that Ms. Qin, along with her two sons, were scheming to disgrace the new madame and undermine her position.
With Zhao Mu's support, the new madame grew even more self-assured. She seized the opportunity to assert her dominance over Ms. Qin by claiming half of the nonchalant, casual, and indifferent furnishings from the storeroom. Apart from her monthly allowance, Ms. Qin was left with nothing.
