Her feelings for Pei Xin were very complicated.
She truly wanted to watch Pei Xin grow and let Pei Xin have her own power.
However, the reason she helped Pei Xin was not because she felt sorry for her. Instead, she saw the value in Pei Xin and wanted to use Pei Xin to cause chaos in the capital.
In fact, she knew that Pei Xin wouldn't be able to stay in Haicheng for long. The Lu family and the Pei family wouldn't let Pei Xin stay in Haicheng forever.
She had investigated the preferential treatment Lu Huai gave Pei Xin. She knew that Lu Huai and Lu Li had a dispute because of Pei Xin.
She didn't know that Pei Xin was so capable that she could cause conflict between the two brothers. Or rather, Lu Huai had done all of this on purpose.
Jiang Yan could tell that he was using Pei Xin as an excuse, but in fact, he had long wanted to find trouble with Lu Li.
