The third concubine is not competitive; even if she knows her daughter has affections, she wouldn't dare mention it in front of Guo Jingzhi.
Moreover, she harbors a deep sense of inferiority, believing deep down that such a match is beyond her reach.
Zhang Fengmian possesses excellent qualities in every aspect, indeed too excellent!
So much so that her family's daughter, a mere concubine's daughter, is simply unworthy.
Furthermore, Zhang's mother's disdain is almost written on her face, constrained only by the propriety required for Mr. Zhang and Madam Zhang.
Mr. Zhang is advanced in age, and after his passing, wouldn't his daughter find it difficult to stand her ground in her husband's household?
In this way, this marriage may not necessarily be a good match.
The third concubine has long lived under Madam Guo's shadow, thinking too much of things.
