Fei Minglan listened to her mother's gentle teachings, and suddenly realized that her mother actually understood everything, and she knew everything about people and the world. She just didn't care, she just looked down and looked away, and she didn't worry about everything.

Perhaps the mother's masculine mentality is the smartest thing. She allows herself to fight less and be content with her orchid grass world. This makes her father love her more and value her more, making her feel relaxed and comfortable with her without any pressure.

If there is no fight, there will be a big fight.

Perhaps this is the reason why my father has loved and doted on my mother for decades?

After all, although the mother is beautiful, she is not beautiful, and how many people can last long if they use sex to serve others?When love fades, love fades. This is an eternal truth.

Only true love can make a couple truly consider each other and be considerate.

The mother could bear her jealousy and take the initiative to take a concubine and give birth to a son for him; and the father could also marry his son's biological mother to a foreign country for his mother's sake, just so that he would no longer make his mother unhappy.

Nothing in the world is perfect, and life always creates problems when people don't expect it. Only by always working together can we live together and love each other for hundreds of years, right?

"Although I tolerated it at the time, I felt aggrieved after all. But...compared to now, even if I give him a few more beautiful concubines, it doesn't matter how many bastards I have?" Fei Zheng's tears flowed down silently as she spoke. She raised her hand to cover her eyes with a handkerchief, her voice already sobbing."As long as he is alive, even if he is not healthy, even if he needs me to take care of him all day long?"

"Mother..."

The mother and daughter held their heads and cried bitterly.

Taking a concubine and giving birth to a concubine will make the legitimate wife's heart feel like a knife, but compared with life, what are these?

When the person is gone, everything is really empty, the heart is as gray as ashes, and even a knife will not hurt.

A woman's happiness really requires too many, too luxurious and harsh conditions.

Time, luck and destiny.

All kinds of encounters in just a few decades of life. If you want to be happy, it is partly man-made and partly determined by God. It cannot be achieved by individual subjective efforts.

Therefore, when necessary, people need to learn to be open-minded, learn to understand themselves, and learn to "rarely be confused." This is not cowardice or compromise, but real life wisdom.

After Fei Zheng calmed down a little, she concluded: "If Mr. Yuan resists the order again, he will probably be beheaded. At that time, there will be no place to cry, so I have to be more open-minded. Do you understand?"

Fei Minglan's mood finally came out of the dead end, and the pain of despair was no longer the same as before.

She nodded, "Mom, I understand."

"Mom, I hope you really understand that when you get married in the future, there is actually a lot of knowledge in how to get along with a husband and wife. You have to be more considerate, but don't be scheming: you can't be careless, and you have to use the means you need, but you have to put yourself in his position. No matter how considerate a man is, he likes soft flowers, not sharp thorns. He can tolerate you once or twice, but he will not tolerate you for a lifetime."

"Yeah."

"However, you must be strong when you should be strong. Don't give in on your principled stance. Otherwise, if you take one step back, you will retreat step by step, and in the end you will be completely at the mercy of others. The bottom line between husband and wife is to keep his heart always on you. Everything else is just a small conflict. Between husband and wife, between wives and concubines, between mother and son, as long as you firmly grasp this bottom line, you will always be invincible."

Fei Minglan couldn't help but wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said with a smile through tears: "Mom, does daddy know that you are actually so petty and mean?"

Fei Zheng smiled gently, with a deep sense of satisfaction, "He knows everything, and he even indulges me on purpose."

"Mom, my daughter is actually very envious of you!"

"Silly girl, I hope you will be happier and happier than me. My mother was weak since she was a child and had difficulty conceiving, so she had the troubles after marriage. And you have been healthy since you were a child, and your mother has been taking good care of your body. I hope you will have good fertility and have many children in the future."

Fei Minglan responded with "Yeah, yeah" and her mood finally calmed down.

What are you afraid of?

Just like what my mother said, as long as Hara Zhizhi's heart is in her, they can go through all kinds of tests and blows.

If Hara's heart was no longer with her, there would be no need for her to suffer and torture herself for a heartless man.

Chapter 9(2)

When the little maid reported from outside the curtain that the former master had come to visit, Fei Minglan was lying on the bed and fell asleep.

After receiving the news of Yuan Zhi's sudden change, she immediately rushed from Yuyao County to the capital and returned from the capital. Then she was hit by the "concubine incident", which made her unbearable. Exhaustion finally defeated her, and she fell asleep in her mother's arms.

Fei Zheng sat on the edge of the bed, still holding her daughter's slender hand, looking at her with half pity and half thoughtfulness.

In fact, it might be a good thing to give Minglan such a heavy blow before getting married.

My daughter knows best. Minglan is too strong-tempered and strives for perfection in everything. She inherited her father's strong and independent character, but she was born a daughter. This is not a good thing.

As the saying goes, "Strength is easy to break." Just like after her father's sudden death, she actually wanted to support the royal merchant family with the weak shoulders of one of her daughters. She had lost the real interest in appreciating orchids and loving orchids when cultivating orchids, and she was more concerned about profit and loss. This situation is not good.

She has an elder brother, and although she is a concubine, she is the heir appointed by the master during his lifetime.

She also has her biological mother. Although she has never liked managing family property, she has lived more than half her life and passed more bridges than she has walked, right?I have no ability, but at least I have some knowledge, right?

She actually didn't want to discuss it with her brother and mother. She just struggled to support it by herself, relying on the money from selling orchids to maintain the official and business connections of the imperial merchants. She was both stubborn and stupid.

She always thinks that she has the essence of a businessman, but in fact, she is just a stupid girl.

Hara Haruyuki, on the other hand, is a truly powerful character and a ruthless man who can make choices.

After receiving the letter from the original wife Zheng, Fei Zheng sent several family members to the capital to inquire about Yuan Zhizhi's deeds from childhood to adulthood. He also received feedback from his natal family that the Han people were indeed a unique talent.

He is said to be a talent because he has a good reputation and got the top prize in the exam.He was unique because he did not follow the path of an ordinary scholar as a civil servant, but managed merchants all over the world on behalf of the emperor.

Fei Zheng often sighs and talks to her deceased husband. If Fei Zhonggui was still alive, he would probably appreciate and love this prospective son-in-law very much. They must have many topics in common, but it's a pity...

Because of this, Fei Zheng felt relieved about Yuan Zhizhi. She believed that a man who had something in common with her husband would not be too bad.

Nowadays, most businessmen in the eyes of the world are cunning, cunning, and unkind for the sake of wealth. It seems that there are no good people, and the character of businessmen is most likely to be suspected.

But Fei Zheng heard Fei Zhonggui say that the real top businessmen use heaven and earth as their warehouses, people's hearts as the scales, and integrity as the crosshairs. They measure big interests and big gains and losses. Even if they fail and lose everything, they can come and go with ease.

A businessman has access to the world.

Such a man has his own world and principles in his heart. They will never leave the person they identify with and will do everything they can to love and care for them.

As time goes by, you can tell who has nobler character and whose feelings are more steadfast.

Mrs. Fei Zheng hopes that her daughter can strengthen her heart and not be shaken by external interference. A true relationship is hard to come by and even more difficult to maintain.

Fei Zheng's own experience in this life has given her a deep understanding. She hopes that her daughter can have a smoother path than her own, with less psychological struggle and torture.

It is better to go through the twists and turns that you may encounter before getting married and be mentally prepared than to be completely immersed in the world of love between two people and then be shattered by the beautiful illusion.

In this society where patriarchy is supreme and men are allowed to have multiple concubines, if a wealthy family wants to completely eliminate concubines, it is somewhat of a fantasy and only a woman's wishful thinking.

Since the reality is so cruel and the treatment of women is so harsh, then as a wife, she should not just be jealous and fussy, but should be more flexible and delicate, and win over the man's heart, so that life can be truly easy.
