The thoughts of the Li family were simple. Wanting was a girl and in three to five years, she would be married, at which point she would take her dowry with her. Even if the dowry was substantial, there was nothing to worry about. Since Wanting was thirteen years old, it was time to start discussing marriage, so the Li family began letting Wanting go out for social gatherings. While outside, Li shared plenty of advice with Wanting, which proved to be greatly beneficial.
Wanting appreciated Li's kindness and maintained a good relationship with her, frequently speaking positively of Li in front of Tingzheng.
Li responded in kind, treating Wanting better and better. However, Wanting's marriage situation proved difficult, not because Madam Lin remarried, but due to the ridiculous things Madam Lin had done before.
