In Mrs. Hou Li's eyes, it was better for Hou Tian'er to marry into the Li Family and help her own maiden family than to be let go to live a good life elsewhere.
She deeply resented Hou Yunniang for meddling. 'A daughter who has already married out is still trying to run her maiden family's affairs. She really thinks too highly of herself.'
"'Tian'er has such a quiet personality. If she marries into the Gu family and can't manage things, we might not form an alliance, but an enmity.'"
Hou Cunjin said, "This is what I wanted to discuss with you today. I'll need you to keep her by your side for a while and teach her how to manage a household.
"When she marries out, she'll be representing the honor of our Hou Family. It will affect her younger brothers and sisters down the line."
Hou Cunjin knew what his wife was thinking, but he couldn't indulge her this time. His tone hardened.
