The Scumbag Husband Favors His Concubine and Destroys His Wife: The Matriarch Is Done Pretending

However, in the end, she was forced to drink poisoned wine by the very child she had raised with her own hands, simply because she had constantly pressured him to strive for success. Her sister-in-law hated her, believing she was greedy for wealth and status and had forced her to marry someone she did not love. The Old Madam also felt she was too calculating and manipulative, and had always harbored a dislike for her. Her husband felt she was quite scheming, treating her with cold eyes and indifference. He believed she maintained an air of nobility on the surface, while in reality, she had borne a concubine-born son with a low-born woman. The Second Master was a gambler and greedy for wealth; because the female lead prevented him from gambling, he had been secretly holding a grudge against her. Starting with such a tragic premise and becoming a mother without any prior pain, Han Zhi was determined to change her fate. She could not follow the same path as the original female lead. She would no longer stop her sister-in-law's romance with the scholar from a humble background, she would no longer force her concubine-born son to study, and most importantly, she would no longer empty her own coffers to subsidize the Marquis's household.
