"I truly have no other way out. My maiden family cannot be counted upon, and as for my husband's family... there is even less room for me to utter a single word." Tang Ning let fall a tear, looking pitifully at Mrs. Li. "Elder Sister, I was married off to him when I was eighteen, and right after the wedding, he left to study abroad.

Madam Zhang's plan was to first touch Tang Ning with her frail health and kind words; if this matter could be resolved without handing over the management rights, that would be best.
If it were the past, she would have been certain of success. With her being unwell, how could a daughter-in-law not attend to her bedside, personally serving medicines and bringing meals?

Yet the pomp and circumstance with which she had summoned doctors and taken medicines was known to the entire household.
