A woman needs a son to rely on, Chiang Qing realized this deeply. Don't be fooled by her being quite favored as the Third Mistress right now, all she has aside from some money is the so-called affection. When she really needs rights with substance, she actually has nothing.
Take wanting to teach that Ning Ge a lesson for example. She doesn't have anyone dependable at her disposal; she supposedly has Chen Gang to help her, but he only gives lip service and always says he has to check with the old man first for anything she asks.
What use is someone like that?
But as for the first and second wives? She knows they all have trusted confidants to help handle some matters.
That's the difference.
And what's the biggest difference?
It's not having a son. No matter how much Shen Rong favors her, it's limited. He won't stand entirely on her side, especially when it involves family interests. Her so-called grudges and venting, in his view, can all be brushed aside.
