A child marries into another family. A girl weds another, and marries out.
"A man absorbs the woman, and the woman joins the man's family. When a daughter grows up, she will marry out and have another family," Eldest Madam Ning said with a sigh. She stroked Ning Yunyan's shoulder next to her. "It really is quite lamentable. You raise them till they are old, and then they are no longer part of your family but given to someone else. That Miss Jun's mother, if she were here, would definitely be happy yet sad."
Ning Yunyan squirmed away from her mother, pulling at Eldest Madam Ning's hand.
"You hated to take her as your own daughter," she said with a snort.
Eldest Madam Ning sent her a level gaze.
"Now that this girl has a family, it will be peaceful," she said. "I can be at peace."
Ning Yunyan's lips curled.
