Chen Furong? How did she end up clashing with He Yuyan?
As Wu Weiwei walked, she listened to Xiao Xingzi describe the confrontation. She was surprised to hear that Chen Furong had stepped in to help Mudan after hearing He Yuyan hurling verbal abuse at her. She hadn't expected Chen Furong to defend a former romantic rival.
It then occurred to her to recall the background information on the female protagonist that the Marquis's Lady had provided earlier. It was said that He Yuyan was born to the Marquis's first wife, but her mother had died young, and she had been sent to live with a wet nurse until her father, a merchant, finally brought her home at the age of eight. This less-than-ideal upbringing had made her childhood miserable. However, the novel had only touched upon her background in passing. Could it be that she was lashing out at Mudan today because her own mother had been harmed by a courtesan from a brothel?
