Tong Xiyan sneered, ignoring Shen's attempt to stop her, she spoke her mind: "So what if she is of age? She's not marrying off her daughter, she's selling her daughter. She accepted a thousand taels of silver yet only prepared a hundred taels as dowry, and the groom is a widower whose previous wife was beaten to death by him while drunk. Marrying into such a family, does she not fear losing her own face?"
Xiqiu frowned upon hearing this, feeling that if this were true, Tong Xiyang's actions were truly excessive. She herself was also a concubine's daughter, and no one understood better than them the difficulties faced by concubine-born daughters at home. She once deeply resented the Lady, but never imagined that years later, she would become even less than the Lady of those days!
