After Seventh Lady Li left the imperial palace, the tears she had been holding back finally flowed. But the child was already lost, and no matter how sorrowful she felt, life still had to move forward.
Old Granny Cao consoled her, saying, "Madam, don't be too upset. Second Young Lady has a temperament much like yours, and I believe she will soon pull herself together."
Seventh Lady Li nodded, saying, "Yes, I hope it will be just as you say."
Not long after, Yiting's marriage was arranged. Shortly after Yiting's marriage was settled, Tingzheng also arranged Brother Qingqing's marriage. Tingzheng meant well, thinking to give Brother Qingqing more resources, and therefore chose a bride from a reputable family. However, the daughter-in-law respected Seventh Lady Li, the legitimate mother-in-law, but only showed superficial respect to Maternal Aunt Qiao, the other mother-in-law, which led to conflicts just after the newlyweds' marriage.
