Bab 1055: 410: Infighting_2

Li Yan grabbed his wife's hand and looked at her as he spoke slowly, "Nothing's gone wrong now, but the future is uncertain. It's best for our son and daughter to marry humbly. In case our family faces any turmoil, Zeng Shiming's character ensures he won't look down on our daughter, and Miss Han's humble background means she won't look down on our son. Both Zeng Shiming and Miss Han may come from lesser backgrounds, yet their characters are commendable; they wouldn't really be wronging our children."

"My lord..." Second Lady Li's face turned pale, "How do I even bring this up with First Mrs. Li?"

Thinking of his elder sister-in-law's disdain, Li Yan remembered feeling guilty over his brother's affairs and how he had always given in to her, but over the years she had become more and more outrageous, and any guilt he had was long worn away.
