The women of the backyard, it is good to be on good terms if possible.
However, sometimes when the standing is not the same, one cannot simply get along.
Take Lady Song, for example. She knew that Lady Song was actually not bad by nature.
But on the surface, Ye Zao belonged to the main courtyard. For a long time, she had done nothing for the main courtyard, and now the opportunity was right in front of her.
And since she didn't like Yu Ning anyway, she might as well use her as a stepping stone. For Princess Song, taking this child would be a bad move.
In this lifetime, unless she had the ability to gain favor and continue having children,
Or unless the Third Prince had great fortune coming his way in the future,
Otherwise, Fujin was certain to hold her down for a lifetime.
So, one more act from Ye Zao today wouldn't make much difference. It was merely giving Fujin a handle and a peace of mind.
