Wanna say massive thanks for all the timely releases. Think Imma have broken the refresh button on my reading list after the last chapter (chap 404)
She got divorced by her husband because she was becoming someone who's very jealous and she was hurting her daughters. She was becoming more miserable thus she's having displacement coping mechanism. When got divorced, it was found out that he was stealing the duke's properties and naming it as her own. She got thrown back to her maternal family. That's it. Although I understand her jealousy (who would want to share her husband with a willing heart, right?), but she became twisted and let it eat her. She doesn't even give importance to her kids.
I think she tried plotting to make the concubine miscarry as well and blame it on Chu Lian? Or was that the sister? I can't remember.
If I'm not mistaken, Spoiler: secret but not so secret it's the real Chu Lian. She's the maid beside the grand mother, I think.
What??? So she want that creepy stalker kill He Changdi?? Poor woman, his 'supposed' lover didn't even recognize her writing, lol.
Actually... what’s her motive? Didn’t the early spoilers state she wanted to marry He Chang Di?? Why send information to help the asshole who she hates and caused her death.
I can only think that she's actually want XBJ to kidnap or kill Chu Lian. She didn't mean to make HCD as XBJ target since she's want to be HCD's wife again, right? So maybe she think 'oh, let's feed whoever use my body now to XBJ and let her suffer while I will seduce HCD.'
it was her husband concubine, who was a former handmaid of her mother-in-law. she had it blame on Chu Lian because of the hawthorn cand or something that their mother-in-law requested from Chu Lian then she ended up giving some to the concubine.,that's where Madam Zhou used to blame when she gave the concubine a drugs to cause miscarriage.,but then the doctor who was staying with them was able to save the fetus.,but before that they keep blaming Chu Lian especially the Matriach and that shrew Aunt.,
@ the end the concubine give birth to a daughter and i think the concubine died while giving birth so all that Madam Zhou did had been futile.,by the way, she got divorce by her husband way before the concubine give birth.,
they all thought that what Chu Lian made was a hawthorn fruit that can cause miscarriage but it was a candied fruit that she got from the north which resembles hawthorn but has the opposite effects to pregnant women, when the old doctor tasted it he said that it strenghtens the fetus in the womb that the northern tribeswomen eat it during pregnancy.,Chu Lian also let a maid taste it, and the maid said that it taste like hawthorn but it actually was not.
So it's kinda backfired to them? Since stuff that Chu Lian give to concubine is actually good for health, but why something still happened to her? I wish they will grovel asking Chu Lian forgiveness after that.
She hates the current CL for taking her body and taking HCD, so she wants to get rid of the current CL. XBJ is the means to that end. Meanwhile, she's trying to bring down Madam Zou so she can take control of the He Estate eventually, just like how she caused the fire in the original story to cripple Madam Zou and take over.
Is that mean the original Chu Lian is actually a kind of anti-hero heroine? Because I can't imagine a normal female protagonist of a novel like this. I mean sure some of them are ruthless and cold blooded, but I've never seen a protagonist with cheating tendency and destroy their perfectly kind husband and his family too for her cheating partner.
I absolutely agree with that, and looks like even reincarnation can't change her character, lol. But still, if I am Chu Lian, after I finish my life in that story, I want to find the author and kick them few times for make that original Chu Lian as protagonist and make a perfectly sane original He Changdi become lunatic like that.
