Xia Dongxue quickly sent her younger son away with a few words.
Fearing Yunyi might misunderstand, she didn't try to cover up these matters: "He lacks social awareness, he's quite straightforward."
After a sigh, she continued: "Earlier, your father and I had discussed that we'd prepare a dowry for Wen Yue during her wedding, to honor our feelings over those years.
Wenyang must have overheard your third aunt saying things she shouldn't, worrying that Wen Yue might be undervalued by her in-laws due to not having much of a dowry, so he kept bringing it up to us.
But he didn't think it through; it was originally agreed that each would go to their own family, each to their own mothers. The Main Consort indeed has feelings for Wen Yue, but since Wen Yue decided to go back to the Third Wife, she became her daughter. If we, the Main Consort, interfere, wouldn't that be disrespecting your third uncle?
