Second night.
-----------------
After applying powder and drawing her eyebrows, she let her hair down and re-braided it into two big braids hanging over her shoulders. Che Yali looked at her daughter: "So, do you think I can outshine that young widow?"
Jiang Meixiang looked at her speechlessly: "Mom, can she even compare to you? You're really selling yourself short and raising her up."
"Whether she can compare or not, that's up to your dad. If she couldn't compare, why would your dad want to marry her?" Che Yali sighed and looked at her daughter, "Meixiang, you see, men are indeed heartless. When they're benefiting from you, they'll listen to everything you say, but once they see you're of no use, they'll kick you aside to live their own little life.
How could I not know your dad's thoughts? Ever since marrying Mom, he's never experienced being pampered or served. Now that young widow acts all submissive in front of him, and he's immediately fallen for it.
