She understood that Liu Zhengyu was just momentarily angry. Even if he went to scold Hong Yan, as long as she pretended to be nauseous or complained of stomach pain, he wouldn’t truly punish her. It was better to appear magnanimous and add some weight to her status in Liu Zhengyu’s heart.
This account book incident was enough for Liu Zhengyu to understand Hong Yan’s character, and he would never entrust the household affairs to her again.
Jin Zhi’s “small days” were not over, but Liu Zhengyu didn’t want to go to Hong Yan and slept in the main hall that night. Yu Yi was on edge all night, but fortunately, since Liu Zhengyu had been with Hong Yan the previous night, he didn’t touch her this night.
Yu Yi sent Liu Zhengyu off in the morning and whispered softly: “Heavenly God, Heavenly God…” She called for a long time before getting a response.
“What is it?” The Heavenly God’s tone seemed somewhat impatient.
Yu Yi carefully asked: “Have I completed my task?”
“No, if you had, the system… I would know, and you would return then.”
Yu Yi continued: “But I have eliminated the rift between husband and wife and helped Master Liu see Madam Zhou’s true nature…”
“But she is still Liu Zhengyu’s favored concubine. If you leave now, once she gives birth to a son, the childless Jin Zhi will soon be suppressed again.”
Yu Yi frowned: “Do you mean Master wants Liu Zhengyu to divorce her?”
“Not exactly, but you must ensure Jin Zhi can firmly secure her position as the primary wife.”
Yu Yi pondered for a long time.
To ensure Jin Zhi’s stable position as the primary wife, she needed to firmly grasp the household management and ensure Liu Zhengyu and Jin Zhi’s relationship was good. They had only just eliminated their estrangement and were far from being emotionally close.
Before marrying Liu Zhengyu, Jin Zhi had already known him. Their fathers were business partners and close friends. Liu Zhengyu had seen Jin Zhi smiling beautifully on a swing during one of his father’s visits, which led him to visit her family frequently. Soon after, Liu’s family proposed marriage.
