Chapter 813: Nan Family Trial and Result (11)
After all, it was not easy for a concubine to rise and become the main wife. Qu Fei Jiao herself was quite stupid and her brother naturally didn’t believe that she could do it on her own.
Thus, he assigned a few smart servants to help her establish her power and scheme in the residence.
As a man, Qu Fei Jiao’s brother was unfamiliar with the harem’s infighting. But the few servants he assigned to Qu Fei Jiao were clearer about it and could help her fight better.
Her first few years in Nan Family Residence were very miserable. It was very hard for her to gain the attention of Nan Shu Cheng because he spent his time mostly with his first wife. The two of them were so close that Qu Fei Jiao was so jealous of them.
And the fact that Madam Nan was such a rare beauty was also a blow to Qu Fei Jiao. But she didn’t want to give up.
She wanted that attention to be passed to her.
Qu Fei Jiao fell in love with Nan Shu Cheng.
The process was extremely simple… She saw him once when he paid a visit to Qu Family Residence for a mission as an official. That day, she saw him and fell for his look.
Nan Shu Cheng is handsome.
Among the few officials who were present at that time, there was no doubt that Nan Shu Cheng was at the top of the list in many ladies’ eyes. But since the position of the main wife was not available, some gave up while some others were like her.
They also became concubines.
When she first entered, these concubines were all her enemies as they would try various methods and means to attract Nan Shu Cheng.
No matter what, they wanted to win.
The battle was fierce.
Some of them ended up dead and Qu Fei Jiao herself also lost a few servants in the process. At that time, her heart shook a bit, but she knew that once she walked here, there was no chance for her to step back anymore.
She had to continue.
Gritting her teeth, she didn’t believe that he would never turn his head in her direction.
She loved him so much that she would make him turn his attention to her!
Because of that, Qu Fei Jiao began to try various methods and various ways in order to attract Nan Shu Cheng’s attention. When she finally found the act that he liked, she stuck to it, drawing him closer to her from time to time.
The time when Madam Nan was pregnant was the best time for her to make her move because at that time, Nan Shu Cheng couldn’t touch his wife. As a young man, he was easily tempted by Qu Fei Jiao’s move.
Enjoying his tender care was what she liked the most back then. She even got pregnant and managed to bear a son. At that time, she was all over the moon.
She wanted him to elevate her status so that her son would be the main son of the Nan Family and not a mere concubine son.
However, things didn’t always turn out the way she wanted.
In the first few years, she had to endure as Nan Shu Cheng moved from her place to that b*tch place from time to time. He was being so tender and careful in front of her while he was still sleeping with that b*tch.
But her brother and maids asked her to be patient.
Even though Qu Fei Jiao didn’t want to, she had no other choice but to endure while hoping that she could get him more children.
It was just unfortunate that she didn’t manage to get pregnant ever again.
And sure enough, time had allowed her to get the chance to get close to Nan Shu Cheng and even watched as that b*tch was miserable in front of her. At that moment, she was so happy that she felt like she had won the battle and enjoyed the view that Nan Shu Cheng allowed her to see.
And then that b*tch left.
She was finally the rightful madam and owned the entire residence for herself. Qu Fei Jiao felt that those were her happiest days.
Those good days didn’t last forever.
Qu Fei Jiao always acted as a benevolent and kind wife in front of Nan Shu Cheng. She wanted to ensure that he would give his attention to her and not other people around him.
Those women flocked around him, trying to get him away, but she always controlled them. She would make sure that no one would be able to go against her in Nan Shu Cheng’s Residence.
The few servants who came with her were helping her to manage the residence, keeping away those annoying women who wanted Nan Shu Cheng. Even after reaching his thirties, Nan Shu Cheng was still very handsome, making many young ladies aim for him.
Being younger than Qu Fei Jiao and more beautiful than her, they naturally had more confidence to attract Nan Shu Cheng. And Qu Fei Jiao had to act as the ‘virtuous’ and ‘gentle’ woman as she watched her husband get close to other women.
Of course, she would always let her servants take care of those women from time to time.
There was no way that Qu Fei Jiao would be willing to hand over Nan Shu Cheng.
She had been by his side for so long. There was no one who could be more suitable for him more than her!
The servants from Qu Family were all very capable.
They managed to steer those annoying vixens away from Nan Shu Cheng.
Then, Nan Hua came.
Her striking similarities in appearance with her mother caused Qu Fei Jiao to panic. Not to mention, Nan Hua could be considered a rare beauty even though she was still young and tender. She knew that if Nan Shu Cheng were to remember that b*ch because of Nan Hua, she would rather kill that girl.
She didn’t want all of her hard work to go down to drain.
This was because Qu Fei Jiao knew very well that even though Nan Shu Cheng made that woman’s life miserable, his heart always had her inside. During the first few months when Madam Nan left, Qu Fei Jiao had to endure Nan Shu Cheng calling out his wife’s name in his sleep.
She tried her best to make Nan Shu Cheng forget about Madam Nan. Even though she knew that it was hard, she would do whatever was necessary to ensure that he couldn’t think of her anymore.
She was jealous.
But at that time, she couldn’t do anything and could only try to force a smile on her face. Her servants told her that she had to keep up her appearance if she wanted to win the battle and keep Nan Shu Cheng’s heart with her.
Thus, Qu Fei Jiao could only be patient.
She tried her best, acting as the caring woman to make him completely forget Madam Nan and pull Nan Shu Cheng closer to Qu Family. Even though she knew that her brother only cared about her usefulness in making the Nan Family support Qu Family, she was happy that her brother helped her.
That way, she could still hold onto the position of the main wife.
But she knew that she could never truly hold onto Nan Shu Cheng’s heart because the deepest part was always retained for that woman.
No matter how many years had passed, Qu Fei Jiao knew that Nan Shu Cheng still thought of her.
Anything that reminded Nan Shu Cheng of Madam Nan was prohibited.
Qu Fei Jiao was very jealous, but how could she fight with a dead person? She could only try her best as a virtuous wife to win Nan Shu Cheng over again and again.
Her servants supported her.
Her brother also helped her.
But Nan Shu Cheng just couldn’t forget that annoying woman who had passed away so many years ago. Even when she was no longer in this world, her influence remained.
And Nan Hua’s appearance certainly reminded Nan Shu Cheng of the past. It was something that Qu Fei Jiao couldn’t accept easily. After so many years of trying to make sure that Nan Shu Cheng forgot about that woman, how could she possibly let him remember her again?
Thus, she tried hard to make things difficult for Nan Hua in various ways.
But not a single one of her methods succeeded, making her frustrated. And in the middle of everything, she found out that Nan Shu Cheng was actually getting interested in another younger concubine who looked like Madam Nan.
She was enraged.
She didn’t want to give up this position as the main wife and fought hard in order to be able to keep it.
But the more she tried to protect this position, the more it was slipping away from her.
