Feng Xi failed again tonight, returning only to report on the news.
Mother Cui excused her early departure on the grounds that Hua Rong needed to rest.
After Feng Xi left, Mother Cui looked at Hua Rong with a slightly worried expression in her eyes.
She whispered, "Master, I will find a way to take care of this old lady Jiang first."
Hua Rong nodded, but it was clear that her mind was preoccupied with something other than the matter at hand.
"Is the Master still worried that Fen Ling will fail to gain the Prince's favor?"
Mother Cui smiled and said, "Although the Prince currently has eyes only for Chu Qianli, hearts are made of flesh. As long as Fen Ling remains by his side, and given how similar she is to Chu Qianli, given time, the Prince will surely make a place for Fen Ling in his heart."
"But when will that be?" Hua Rong was indeed anxious.
Her son's feelings for Chu Qianli were so deep, what could be done?
