"What did your father say?"
Upon hearing about her son's potential marriage talks with the Wenn family's daughter, Mrs. Xu was not relieved; instead, she felt a headache coming on.
"Uncle's opinion is to take another look."
Marriages are not as simple as two people rolling into bed like common folk.
The Xiao family carries the burden of guilt, and with Mr. Xiao's execution, all past grievances are cleared.
However, the Wenn family is different; they have a concubine in the imperial harem.
Every move of this concubine affects the life and death of the Wenn family members.
"Your uncle's caution is justified."
Upon hearing this answer, Mrs. Xu felt an inexplicable sense of relief.
Yes, unable to marry is worrisome, but marrying into the Wenn family is also a cause for concern.
"Indeed, our Xiao family can no longer endure any turmoil."
Aunt Mrs. Xu also said, "Normally, the Wenn family would disdain marrying into a family like ours."
