"Thirty taels just for a wedding? What kind of grand wedding does your husband need?"
"Have you even thought about how you're going to repay all that money?"
Heena stood quietly, allowing them to scold her.
She had managed to turn their curiosity about her sudden marriage into a touching story about filial piety. Unfortunately, she had now given them an entirely new reason to worry about her.
And judging by their expressions, this time they weren't going to let her escape with a shy smile.
Everyone was watching Heena, waiting to see how she would respond to their scolding.
Heena rubbed her palms together, then lowered her head slightly. She hesitated before speaking, almost as though she was embarrassed to admit it.
"Actually, I don't know much about wedding preparations. I'm still new here, and I don't know many people. I didn't really know whom I could ask for help. And I felt bad about troubling anyone over something like this."
Her words made a few women pause.
