Did she think she could bully her at will because Chu Heng's official position was too low and he was merely from a non-official family?
In fact, Ye Muyu did not know that this very guess mirrored Lin Mianmian's thinking.
The Lin family dominated Yuzhou, and as the favored young miss of the Lin family, she looked down upon even the sons of noble families. It was only because of Chu Heng's appearance and the magistrate of Yuzhou's intentional implication that she had agreed to marry into the Chu family.
The magistrate of Yuzhou meant that she was eventually to be the legal wife.
However, Lin Mianmian never got the chance to be close to Chu Heng, so, without the reality of marriage, she naturally could not compete for favor. Consequently, her plan to control the Chu family's backyard affairs—to influence Chu Heng by whispering in his ear so that he would ally with the magistrate of Yuzhou—failed.
