Old Mrs. Qiao gave Fang Liyuan a sullen look, "Do you think that because my vision is blurred, my heart is also blurred?"

That's what Fang Liyuan meant, but she said, "Old Mrs. Qiao, you misunderstood me. What I meant is that sometimes people will get confused, even the smartest one."

Old Mrs. Qiao shook her head, "Liyuan, my heart is not blurred, do you think I really don't know what you are thinking?"

Fang Liyuan, "..."

A touch of guilt flashed in her eyes, then she said dryly, "Old Mrs. Qiao, what can I be thinking about?"

Old Mrs. Qiao looked at Fang Liyuan very seriously, and Fang Liyuan looked even guiltier.

Old Mrs. Qiao had never looked at her in such a serious way before.

She rubbed her face and avoided Old Mrs. Qiao's eyes, "Old Mrs. Qiao, why are you staring at me? What I said is for the sake of the North."

Old Mrs. Qiao sighed, "For the sake of the North? Don't I know it? You're doing it for your own sake because if Shaoting resigns, you won't be the wife of the president's brother and you can't enjoy the same treatment as before. What you're really worried about is losing your superior status."

Fang Liyuan was stunned.

Old Mrs. Qiao added, "Liyuan, you have been married to Yaozu for so many years, do you think I don't know your mind? I just didn't say it before. Don't think I'm really stupid!"

Fang Liyuan suddenly felt that she had never known Old Mrs. Qiao.

Old Mrs. Qiao had been very old when she married into the Qiao Palace.

She had been told that Old Mrs. Qiao had been very shrewd and quick-witted in her younger days.

But Old Mrs. Qiao, in her view, was a somewhat confused old woman.

She would listen to and do whatever she was told.

Fang Liyuan was complacent, thinking that even if Old Mrs. Qiao was smart when she was young, she would still be a confused person when she got old.

But now she suddenly felt that she was wrong.

In fact, she was the one who was really confused.

"Liyuan, you are a bit calculating. Be an honest man. I hope you can make friends with Xiaorou in the future. She is a very nice child. You should learn from her." Old Mrs. Qiao added.

Fang Liyuan stayed calm, "Old Mrs. Qiao, what are you talking about? I have never been calculating. All I did is for the Qiao Palace, for Yaozu."

Old Mrs. Qiao shook her head and she sighed, "Do you really think that I don't know how you treat Yaozu?"

Fang Liyuan, "..."

Old Mrs. Qiao let out a bitter smile, "Speaking of which, Bai Xiaoru treats Yaozu well."

When Fang Liyuan heard the name Bai Xiaoru, she became angry.

She couldn't help but retort, "Old Mrs. Qiao, how could Bai Xiaoru treat Yaozu well? She's a lowly maid who wants to rise to the top, so she climbed into Yaozu's bed! How can you think that she is sincere to Yaozu! The only person in this world who is sincere to Yaozu is me!"

Old Mrs. Qiao stared at Fang Liyuan, "Liyuan, do I really not know if you are sincere to Yaozu? But Yaozu is sincere to you and you are Yaozu's rightful wife. Based on these two points, no matter how sincere Bai Xiaoru is to Yaozu, it's useless."

"So I can only pretend to be confused! It is not easy to manage a big family. Sometimes I have to be confused to balance the benefits of all sides."
