Chapter 135: The Charms in Bed Take Effect
With Yu Zhen’s intelligence, she naturally knew how to comfort Li Qin. On the other side, Ya Fu’s grief and despair made Li Qin even more heartbroken. Moreover, Qing Qing’s “charm technique” that made Yu Zhen blush and feel embarrassed caused Li Qin to almost effortlessly continue his favor towards her. There was no suspense at all. At that time, Yu Zhen asked her why she didn’t go herself. Qing Qing told her: Li Qin’s actions this time would definitely alert the Lin family. He’s not stupid; he knows that only your Chen family can now rival the Lin family. If you go to “comfort” him now, you are bound to succeed. As for me, I’m just a minor songstress, I wouldn’t be of much help. When Qing Qing mentioned the “Lin family,” her expression was calm, as if she was talking about a stranger. Yu Zhen’s look of pity made Qing Qing even angrier. She had grown to hate such a gaze towards the weak since she didn’t know when. One day, she would make this good friend, the Lin family, and everyone else realize that she needed no one’s pity! Thus, the power dynamics between the Chen and Lin families in the court gradually balanced out.
After Ya Fu recovered, seeing Li Qin’s affection towards her significantly wane, and unable to do anything to Yu Zhen, she gradually redirected her anger towards Qing Qing. She wasn’t entirely foolish; she knew why Li Qin favored Yu Zhen, and seeing Qing Qing’s close association with her, she vented all her frustration on Qing Qing. However, Qing Qing never engaged in disputes with her, always yielding, which frustrated Ya Fu even more as she couldn’t find fault with her.
