Fang Meijuan had long noticed the tension between Kou Shuangshuang and her son. However, Du Haokun didn't want to marry in the first place and held a grudge against Shuangshuang, which Fang Meijuan could understand. She appreciated her daughter-in-law's generous and good-tempered nature, as Shuangshuang never minded, which made Fang Meijuan like her even more.
To save Shuangshuang from embarrassment, Fang Meijuan kept talking to her, expressing her fondness and support, essentially backing Shuangshuang up. Although her husband didn't like Shuangshuang, Fang Meijuan did, which deterred the servants from taking advantage of her.
Fang Meijuan spent her days playing cards with other ladies, oblivious to the happenings in her household. Not to mention the servants, even Du Zongze's concubines dared not provoke Shuangshuang, whom they called the smiling Yama.
