Let's not talk about how, after many years of longing, Wan Dazhong finally married the girl of his dreams and how overjoyed he was, or how lively the Wan family was. Let's talk about Guiyuan instead, which, despite also being full of guests, lacked the jubilant atmosphere of the Wan family's.
It's the same with hosting a joyous occasion. The family marrying off their daughter always seems less cheerful than the one receiving a new bride. Perhaps this is the difference between marrying off and welcoming in. After raising a daughter for over a decade, suddenly she leaves and belongs to another family, and it just doesn't feel right.
It was especially so for the Qian family, who had supported each other through thick and thin, always considering each member indispensable. But after today, they would be one member short. It was understandable why Lady Wu and a few others felt sad, but Qian Sangui's constant red eyes and drooping brows were a mix of amusing and pathetic.
