By the time Wang Yongzhen reached the age to marry, her suitors were chosen by Old Granny Zhang through intermediaries, and there were several families.
But in the end, it was Old Lady Lin and Wang Laozhu, who were still alive at the time, who made the decision. Among these candidates, the Sun Family was the wealthiest, yet according to Old Granny Zhang, had Wang Yongzhen been her own daughter, or had their relationship not been so deteriorated, she would never have let her marry into the Sun Family.
Why, you ask? Because the Sun Family's matriarch was notoriously shrewish far and wide.
With Wang Yongzhen's temperament, marrying into that family was like sending a lamb into the lion's den, wasn't it?
Moreover, the member of the Sun Family who was to marry Wang Yongzhen was the Eldest Brother, named Sun Daming, known to be a paragon of filial piety. Truly obedient, he would do anything his mother asked of him.
