Chong Wu said, "The matter of my marriage is for my parents to decide. My eldest sister-in-law can voice her opinion, but it is not up to her to agree or disagree. You are overthinking this."
In fact, Dong Wan'er knew that Yuwen Yanran couldn't decide on Mu Chongwu's marriage. However, she feared that Yuwen Yanran might make things difficult for her behind her back, so she decided to be proactive, speaking ill of her, so that Chong Wu would harbor a sense of resistance towards Yanran. Consequently, even if Yanran said anything unfavorable about her in the future, it would have no effect on Chong Wu.
After making some reassurances, Dong Wan'er finally agreed to go with Chong Wu to Mu Mansion to meet his parents, though she still bore an anxious and cautious demeanor.
