To her, being the second or third misses was merely a title.
It had no impact on her standing within the Duke Mansion.
In her heart, she somewhat admired Xie Ruotong's intelligence.
An intelligence that knew to win her over first and leverage the identity of Princess Ye Qichi to make her feel obliged to assist Xie Ruotong.
Anyone with discerning eyes could see that Ye Qichi had a great relationship with Xie Ruotong; Ye Qichi was Xie Ruotong's firm supporter, and within the Duke Mansion, if she were wronged, Ye Qichi would back her up.
She had also planned to treat Xie Ruotong well.
Although she and Xie Ruilin were twins, because both had strong personalities, their relationship wasn't actually that good.
Now with Xie Ruotong's return, she felt a bit like she wanted to dull Xie Ruilin's edge.
Always carrying herself with the dignity of a legitimate daughter, as if she were above everyone else.
