Zhu Fenxiang's expression momentarily paused, then turned to surprise: "Why?"
"Ning Zhuo and I now secretly exchange information, mutually leveraging each other's strengths, both sides have initiative; the relationship is just right."
"If I publicly stand by his side, the space for both of us to maneuver would become much smaller."
"Moreover, we would have to face the competition from the Situ Family, and perhaps get involved in the waves stirred up by Nanming Village."
"Mother, you've always acted thoroughly and cautiously, why are you so aggressive today?"
Zhu Guizhi listened quietly, instead feeling a bit of relief in her heart. Her daughter didn't let emotions cloud her judgment, still able to clearly analyze the pros and cons—this is good.
Yet the more calm Zhu Fenxiang was, the more Zhu Guizhi felt compassionate, thinking her daughter hasn't yet realized her true feelings for Ning Zhuo, thinking she should give her a push from behind.
