Chapter 49 - Asked For Advice

"Can you tell me what happened, Mother?"

"Of course! That ***** is trying to get my ****…"

Wei Liuying was resisting the urge to slap her mother's mouth to not utter so many profanities. However, when Feng Chun was on the verge of her rage, she would be unstoppable. There was nothing that Wei Liuying could do aside from bearing with the story that Feng Chun told her for the next incense stick time.

It was another torturous time when her mother flared up and used her as the hole to vent her emotion.

In short, Feng Chun was angry because Wei Xiao Hua made her move once more. This time, she was targeting the three of them as he told their father that he should spare more time with the other concubines. If they felt that they were treated unfairly, it wouldn't do good if words were to come out.

But in truth, how many people would be willing to share that their husband neglected them?

Besides, many of these ladies were just some pretty ladies that Wei Hong collected because he loved their beauty. Because of that, the three of them gave objections, but Wei Xiao Hua ended up pointing to some who truly had connections. This put them in a tight spot.

"If he had to spend time with those ******, how can it be possible for me to gain his affection, ah!" Feng Chun was annoyed.

Wei Liuying listened while sipping her tea. She didn't remember anymore when this first started, but now her mother always came to her whenever there was a problem. Wei Liuying would be able to solve it in a much more efficient way than her.

"What should I do, Liuying?" Feng Chun asked in annoyance. If only Wei Liuying was not trapped in this room when the incident happened, he would have called her on the spot. Wei Zilin was also present, but that girl was simply useless. As for Wei Hong Zheng and Wei Yijun, both didn't really have any problem.

After all, Wei Xiao Hua's arrangement didn't matter to them.

Over the time when Wei Xiao Hua was the one in charge of the management, the one who suffered was only the three concubines with Concubine Chou got the worst. Feng Chun and Concubine Xie were still better. As for the children, they were never affected as it was still the same as before.

"Mother, even if she suggested for Father to spend equal time with all the concubines, it can never be done," Wei Liuying said slowly.

"Why?"

"In the first place, the concept of harem is introduced because it was a way to connect with more power and gain more influence. However, how is it possible for a person to not have bias? All one have to do is be better at gaining the favor and affection."

Feng Chun listened to Wei Liuying and frowned. "Are you saying that I have to strive for his affection like usual?"

"To be able to enter the residence already proved that you were once in his heart, Mother," Wei Liuying said calmly. "It's a memory that should be buried in his heart. With a little pull, wouldn't it be possible to bring it back to the surface?"

Even though Wei Liuying didn't say it blatantly, Feng Chun understood. Since she could get Wei Hong's heart in the past, why couldn't she got it now? With that in her mind, Feng Chun smiled brightly.

"That's right! I only need to make him recall the memories back."

Without even bidding farewell, Feng Chun stormed out of the room and rushed back. She planned to use whatever memories that she had together with Wei Hong in order to gain his affection back. She didn't believe that she wouldn't be able to do it with the help of her maids.

On the other hand, Wei Liuying sat at her table and shook her head lightly, not caring for what had happened in the slightest bit.

It didn't take long for Xiao Qing to come into the room.

"Miss, Madam Feng had left," Xiao Qing informed as she curtsied politely.

"I know."

Xiao Yu also entered and curtsied. She stood near the wall with a curious gaze. "Miss, would it work?"

"Some people liked to reminisce about the good things that had happened in the past. When things are not going well, you can't help but reminisce about what had occurred and wished that it would still be here. If it's truly a memorable memory, isn't it possible for one to be swayed?" Wei Liuying asked back.

Humans were an emotional creature. With just a little bit of tampering, she knew that it was not impossible for her to make Feng Chun become the one in Wei Hong's heart. But of course, the other concubines wouldn't let it happen so easily.

Xiao Yu fidgeted. "But Miss, would it affect you?"

"We're only talking here and I don't get involved, so why should I worry how it'll implicate me?"

"I mean, would helping her be beneficial to you?"

Wei Liuying chuckled, yet her eyes were cold. "She's my mother. Isn't it only natural for a child to help one's parents?"
