Even if the Yuezheng Family had no intention of aligning closely with Shao Yunduan, their association with him ensured that they would be prominent, a status that no one could easily envy.
Some people envied the Yuezheng Family, claiming that their close relationship with Madam Shao was a strategic move to benefit from the connection. They suggested that the Yuezheng Family was not supporting Madam Shao out of genuine affection but to advance their own interests.
Madam Shao herself was puzzled by the intense scrutiny. She couldn't understand why there was so much focus on her happiness.
However, it made sense. Madam Shao had lost her maiden family, so naturally, she welcomed the support of a capable family like the Yuezheng Family.
With this backing, both Madam Shao and the Yuezheng Family gained advantages, making both families winners in the arrangement.
Some families secretly regretted not having acted first to secure such benefits for themselves.
