Su Xiaowan's words struck Mrs. Shen like a hammer to the heart. What did her husband value most? She knew all too well—nothing was more important than his career.

Nowadays, people oppose arranged marriages and advocate for love marriages. How would it look if a local official's wife still arranged her daughter's marriage? A home not swept is indicative of the world unswept.
If she could not manage her own household, how could she have the face to shout slogans publicly?
Seeing Mrs. Shen's dazed expression, Su Xiaowan continued calmly, "Mrs. Shen, as you have seen, our family really doesn't have the resources to entertain you."
"However, as Dandan's family, I want to make our stance clear here today—whether Dandan is pregnant or not, we Song Family members will not force her to make a choice."
