"Mother, I know what you are thinking, but you should also think carefully. Meng can read, play the instrument, dance, is well-versed in poetry and prose, can compose at a moment's notice, is deeply read in military strategy and history, and her political essays are exceptionally brilliant. Could such a woman ever be raised by an ordinary commoner family?" Mo Liujin knew that Concubine Liu fundamentally resented Chu Qingmeng's background, and her malicious antics ultimately stemmed from despising the fact that she was an orphan.
Concubine Liu fell silent. Mo Chenfeng raised his head and looked at Chu Qingmeng in astonishment. Meng could even write political essays?!
"Mother, why can't you understand such a simple truth?" Mo Liujin let out a deep sigh. "Meng simply detests trouble and prefers to keep her abilities hidden, but living by her side day and night, it was impossible for me not to notice these things. Back in Zhu County, when I fell ill with the plague and remained unconscious for over half a month, it was Meng who handled all the affairs of the county yamen in my place, and she single-handedly managed the disaster relief! Could an ordinary woman be capable of such things?!"
