Qin Yan refused to speak, covered her face with a handkerchief, and got up to leave.
Elder Qin called for a servant, "Go find out what's the matter with the young lady."
The servant went out to gather information.
Mrs. Jiang's lack of strict management of the household had long been an open secret.
The servant quickly returned and relayed the information to Elder Qin.
Although it was unclear what exactly Qin Yan and Jiang Youzhi had discussed, for a young lady to go directly to confront someone because of a failed marriage negotiation was highly inappropriate.
Normally perceived as innocent and lively, this was not something that could be brushed off as such; it was utterly shameful.
How had Mrs. Jiang raised her daughter?
Elder Qin was displeased, but not wanting to directly reprimand his daughter-in-law, he wrote a letter to his son and instructed the family to deliver it swiftly by horse.
