Hou Cunjin definitely didn't want his reputation damaged at this most crucial moment.
Only his stupid wife couldn't see things clearly. Did she really think that ruining the eldest daughter's reputation would benefit the younger children?
Now, sending the two sisters together to his younger sister's place could be explained as them going to learn the rules of an official family, which would also earn a good reputation for the second daughter.
Mrs. Hou Li was still angry. These days, to ease relations with her maiden family, she had even made the New Year's gifts a bit more generous than in previous years.
Even so, her sister-in-law from her maiden family still made sarcastic remarks. And the one who had caused all this trouble was her own meddlesome sister-in-law.
The expression on her face was caught right by Hou Cunjin, making him regret his indulgence over the years even more.
"Go pack up for Yao'er and have someone send her over immediately."
