Wang Jiao left dejectedly and fell ill after returning home. Zhu Xiuer, who knew her cousin's feelings, sighed.
She still had some feelings for her cousin, so she thought she would go over and comfort her. Then she saw that her cousin looked very haggard, which made her feel a little sorry for her.
Zhu Xiuer was kind-hearted. She initially thought it was despicable for her cousin to say she wanted to be a concubine, but seeing her cousin troubled by love, she felt some sympathy for her.
This sympathy grew more in her mother's eyes. Since Wang was willing to bring this girl to the city in the future, she originally planned to marry her as her daughter-in-law, which showed that she had some affection for this niece.
Unfortunately, fate played a cruel trick on us.
Wang sighed and said, "You should comfort your cousin. As for the rest, we can talk about it later."
Zhu Xiuer: "Mother is right. It's a pity that my cousin's good intentions were wasted, and my brother didn't appreciate it."
Madam Wang frowned and said, "Don't bring this up again, lest it ruin your brother's and cousin's reputations."
Zhu Xiuer knew she had said something wrong.
"I know, Mother, but I don't think my cousin will be able to get over her feelings for my brother anytime soon."
There was nothing Wang could do: "What can we do? Your brother has a plan. Jiao'er can only try to help her figure things out herself."
Zhu Xiuer didn't want to bring it up at first, but after thinking about it, she did.
"Mother, my cousin said she doesn't care about status."
Upon hearing this, Wang was just as shocked as her daughter had been at first.
After a while, he calmed down and said, "Don't tell anyone about this. Your brother has his own reasons. The more you say, the more mistakes you'll make, and it will only create distance between you and your brother."
Although Wang loved her niece, her niece was not as good as her own daughter, so she naturally did not want her daughter to get involved in this matter.
Having lived half her life, Wang was not entirely oblivious to Chengfu's intentions. After a moment's thought, she understood what her niece was thinking.
Although I felt sorry for her, I was somewhat displeased that she had taken advantage of my daughter.
However, since this is her niece's wish, and if her son has no objections, she can only turn a blind eye. She can't control this matter; she should worry about her daughter's affairs instead! She seems to have raised her to be a bit naive and innocent!
Zhu Xiuer was somewhat confused, but she knew her mother wouldn't harm her.
"Your daughter understands, Mother."
Madam Wang sighed, "It's good that you know. You're not young anymore, it's time to settle down and learn more. Your cousin has been feeling down lately, and I just asked you to comfort her, but thinking about it now, it wasn't really necessary. She has to figure it out herself. From now on, come over every day and learn how to manage the household from your mother."
"I understand, Mother."
