Chang Zihe agreed. This was to save face for his elder brother.
Chang Zihe added, "When we were little, my older brother still cared about her quite a bit, but unfortunately, he cared about the wrong person. His stepmother was stingy, but now that we've separated the family, it doesn't affect either side much."
Huan Yue asked, "Does your stepmother have a son?"
Jing Wei continued, "They have a son and a daughter, both of whom are quite stingy, but they don't have any other problems. It's said that when my aunt passed away, she couldn't take care of her maternal family, and her maternal family didn't care about their two grandchildren either. It was my mother-in-law who often looked after them and made sure they weren't left helpless. Now that her maternal family is gone, her stepmother and children aren't exactly unpleasant either."
Huan Yue said, "We are all one family after all."
Jing Wei nodded: "She was quite happy to receive the things from the palace as a dowry. It's funny, really. Her older brother is her older brother too, so wouldn't she be able to marry well? Her mother is just stingy and doesn't seem reliable, so she found an honest man in the village. The girl wasn't too happy about it. Later, her older brother spoke up and said this one was good."

Huan Yue nodded: "That's good."
Jing Wei nodded: "I've never heard of anyone beating their wife. Even if he asked her to, she wouldn't dare. Her mother said that in the village, her brother can stand up for her. Even if she marries well, it's not certain whether her life will be good or not. That's made her mind settled."
The important thing now is not marrying well, but having the Chang family as a powerful backer.
Jing Wei laughed and said, "Then the stepmother is shrewd and understands that it's clearly others who like us, not the other way around. So she'll just keep liking them."
