"Wouldn't it be... somewhat unkind?" After a long pause, Dong Yao asked hesitantly.
"Mother, trust me!" Shen Qinglan said, "The reason they are doing this, to be blunt, is because they think our family has nothing. Qingping marrying Miss Yan is considered marrying up, but they also think our Qingping will have a promising career, hence they have the idea of cutting ties with us."
Simply put, in future conversations, they don't want to be associated with poor relatives.
In a place like the Capital, it's all about comparisons. Especially among those so-called scholarly families, they don't want to feel inferior.
"Then... fine," Dong Yao said. "In a few days, we'll make another trip to the Capital."
"I'll go with you," Shen Qinglan smiled and said. "I haven't been to the Capital in a long time. It's time to visit old friends."
"Aren't you going to Yongning Manor?" Dong Yao frowned, "How could you not? The in-laws must miss Wenxuan. You should at least make a visit back."
