Lady Li awkwardly laughed, "I can't accumulate the dowry for my daughter, and after calculating the expenses with my husband, we both agreed that having a son is better."
Zhulan felt stifled. She really thought her family had too many children, but thankfully, she had laid a good financial foundation over the years, and the annual income was substantial. Now, with her young daughter getting married, there were no major expenditures at home.
Lady Li changed the subject, "Mother, Xue Han hasn't returned for some days."
Her sister-in-law often visited home; suddenly not having her around felt odd.
"She does want to come back, but her pregnancy scared Rongchuan this time. Until the child is born, she basically won't leave the Ning Duke Residence."
Lady Li, ".... What?"
Zhulan didn't explain. The Ning family had already taken action. For the sake of caution, Xue Han could only stay put, but fortunately, she was close by, so Zhulan could visit her daughter whenever she missed her.
