Therefore, while Du Zongze's concubines are engaged in fierce struggles among themselves, they do not dare to set their sights on Fang Meijuan, akin to mice being afraid of cats. Fang Meijuan takes pride in this, often boasting about it to her aristocratic friends who are often infuriated by their own concubines at home.
Empathizing with others, Fang Meijuan believes that Kou Shuangshuang offering Du Haokun a concubine indicates she is a woman of similar disposition, which makes Fang Meijuan favor her even more.
Thus, Fang Meijuan immediately grasped Kou Shuangshuang's hand and smiled, saying, "Oh dear child, you're really considerate. Since you mentioned, I have someone in mind—Haokun's cousin, whom you've met before, my niece, Liu Feifei.
Feifei is a child with a hard life and no relatives, having been raised beside me since childhood. I regard her as half a daughter. If she were married off, I wouldn't feel at ease; it's rather reassuring to have her marry into our own family.
