After that incident, Old Master Xia increasingly favored Lady Wen.
In the name of caring for his two children, he had transferred all the little authority that was in Lady Yao's hands over to Lady Wen. He obstinately refused to leave any for Lady Yao, remaining completely unyielding no matter how much she protested.
Lady Wen did not refuse; she calmly accepted it, taking on everything that was given to her!
Old Master Xia was very satisfied with this and treated Lady Wen even better.
Lady Wen was a sensible person. She didn't fight for power or cause trouble but diligently took care of her duties.
