The Female Lead Decides to Act Wickedly Chapter 675 - 270: My Mother-in-law is a Loyal Servant (14)3

And what about Gu Xiuniang? Not only did she carefully serve and instruct the Marquis Mansion’s Eldest Miss, but she also burned the midnight oil with her embroidery to earn money and support Mrs. Zhang and a whole group of people!

Nanny Zhao could only be considered to have minor loyalty and righteousness, but it was Gu Xiuniang who truly had a grand vision.

What use was there in rely keeping Mrs. Zhang comfortable? Gu Xiuniang was nurturing the Marquis Mansion’s next generation after all.

Mrs. Zhang: ... I also preserved the Marquis Mansion’s next generation, and it’s a male heir, male heir, male heir!

Mrs. Zhang and Nanny Zhao felt greatly indignant after hearing the outside discussions.

Gu Xiuniang had actually gained such a good reputation by leveraging the Marquis Mansion.

Mrs. Zhang, while not verbally expressing it, harbored a deep hatred for Gu Xiuniang in her heart, and a sense of inexplicable panic.

She increasingly wanted to hold onto Feng Yanting.

However, as Feng Yanting slowly grew up, he beca more and more appreciative of Gu Xiuniang, his biological mother’s struggles, and increasingly detested Mrs. Zhang and her group’s laziness and shaless selfishness.

All were able-bodied and skilled, so why could they not earn money?

Even the Grand Madam, Second Madam, Third Madam, and others recalled to their maternal families, with ti, did not solely rely on their natal families.

They, under the support of their relatives, bought properties and effectively ran businesses, carefully raising their children, waiting for their exiled husbands to return ho early.

Only Mrs. Zhang continued to carry on the air of the Marchioness, shalessly depending on the Feng Family for support without any psychological burden.

While she had the chance to be an independent and dignified person, she opted instead to be a parasite, a bloodsucker!

Feng Yanting was the male lead, with very upright values and a moral compass well above the average.

Therefore, he beca more and more disgusted with Mrs. Zhang and her group.

Mrs. Zhang was no fool; she could certainly feel Feng Yanting’s disdain and estrangent.

But, Mrs. Zhang had confidence: I am Yanting’s biological mother, after all.

Moreover, as Gu Xiuniang’s reputation improved and her embroidery sold for high prices, Mrs. Zhang’s sense of crisis intensified.

"Yanting is my only hope and the support for the second half of my life!"

"That dead girl Wei Yuanniang can have a skill, and I heard she’s even used her cultivated peonies to connect with the capital’s elite, perhaps turning her fortunes around!"

"And Yanting? Now he’s only a hard-studying student without any official title—"

Mrs. Zhang, perhaps with too much idle ti on her hands, began to daydream.

Watching Wei Yuanniang’s increasingly beautiful features, along with her unique temperant ford by studying and cultivating flowers, Mrs. Zhang couldn’t help but imagine—

One day, Wei Yuanniang might truly captivate a scion from a wealthy family and turn into a phoenix soaring atop a tree.

But for Feng Yanting, without a strong backing, even though he could read, he would have to struggle step by step.

The path of the imperial examinations was too arduous.

Perhaps by the ti Wei Yuanniang married into a wealthy family, Feng Yanting would still be a commoner!

No!

Yanting is the legitimate eldest son of the Marquis Mansion, the flesh and blood of Mrs. Zhang. Could he really be inferior to a servant’s offspring?!

With a strong sense of crisis surging in her heart, Mrs. Zhang changed her usual indulgence towards Feng Yanting and began to demand that he strive for progress more rigorously.

Feng Yanting: ...Excuse ? Who are you? What right do you have to have Grandma call over for a stern scolding? And to kneel as punishnt? To hit my hands with a ruler?

Even if Mrs. Zhang had done favors for Feng Zhongliang, the redemption back then, the subsequent years of support, and even the life of Feng Zhongliang’s father—any of those would have outweighed the others.

So how could Mrs. Zhang still have the face to lord it over him, Feng Yanting?!

Brimming with resentnt, Feng Yanting was helpless, as Nanny Zhao was deeply loyal to Mrs. Zhang.

When Mrs. Zhang wanted to see him, Nanny Zhao ca running eagerly to fetch him.

When Mrs. Zhang wanted to apply family discipline, Nanny Zhao eagerly handed over the ruler.

Feng Yanting might disregard Mrs. Zhang, but he could not ignore Nanny Zhao.

After all, Nanny Zhao was his direct grandmother.

But it was precisely this closely related Grandma who sided with an unrelated Mrs. Zhang to humiliate and mistreat him.

I’m not progressing in my studies?

I don’t endure the pain of studying hard?

What the hell does that have to do with you?

Even Mom hasn’t managed like this.

He Tiantian: ... Uh, I don’t want to be the villain here.

The original Gu Xiuniang in the story, despite her devoted and strict upbringing, still ended up with grievances!

Since soone was willing to play the heavy, He Tiantian was happy to play the good cop.

"Yanting, you’re still young, there’s no need to push yourself so hard!"

"Mom certainly hopes you can stand out from the rest, but Mom hopes even more that you are healthy and happy!"

"As long as you do your best, whether you achieve an official title or not, Mom will not bla you!"

"Mom can earn money, and if you don’t pass the examinations, it’s okay, Mom will find a way to buy you a house and land, and if you’d like to do business, Mom will provide you with the startup capital!"

He Tiantian presented herself as a compassionate mother who didn’t "expect you to fly too high or too far," but rather feared "you flying too tiredly."

And she indicated that she would provide for her son, ensuring that he would never lack clothing or food in the future.

Of course, Feng Yanting, being the male lead, wasn’t destined to be ordinary.

He Tiantian said this only to see if, when the mystery of his origin was eventually revealed, Feng Yanting would still easily bond with his biological mother with "deep maternal affection"!
