Xie Yi smiled awkwardly, "These days have troubled everyone so much, and I will trouble Madam even more in the future."
Madam Zhao secretly raised an eyebrow. Although Xie Yi came from the daughter of an official's family, she was not even half as good as Pei Qin, and she also had a brother, a significant burden. Though she might return to the Xie family to claim her inheritance, who knows if she could get it back, and even if she did, how much? After all, the Xie family was not an aristocratic family with enormous wealth.
If it were up to her, she would never let her son marry such a bride! She also had her biases; if it weren't for Pei Qin being in charge and supporting them, she would never agree to this marriage with the Pei's siblings. Wendong had his elder sister and Mo Heng supporting him; with such a bright future ahead, what kind of bride couldn't he find? Why must he marry Xie Yi, a girl without a maternal home and with a burden?
