After Shen Jiangbei rejected Minister Wu's marriage proposal on behalf of his daughter, he began to take his daughter's future marital prospects seriously.
Just as Shen Yiru had reminded him earlier, if he did not care about Shen Chen'er's lifelong happiness and left everything to Lady Qian to arrange, Shen Chen'er might end up making an even worse match than Weier.
After Weier married Qian Mofeng and moved to the south, she occasionally sent letters back home. She was not living a happy life in the south. Qian Mofeng's inner courtyard was crowded with concubines, not to mention a large number of illegitimate sons and daughters. The residence was not large, and with so many people living together, there was endless friction. Just last month, Weier had discovered she was pregnant, only to suffer a miscarriage shortly after, having been driven to that state by one of Qian Mofeng's favorite concubines. Weier demanded that Qian Mofeng punish the concubine, but Qian Mofeng claimed the concubine had not meant to upset her; it was simply Weier's own fault for having such a fiery temper, and she had no one else to blame.
