"...Zhizhi's dowry, we haven't considered it yet. We'll see and discuss it when the time comes. A family of six, with a meager foundation.

Lady Zhou did not continue to harp on about Lian Manman. She took out a handkerchief and wiped her nose. The conversation had been going well, but it almost veered off track because of Lian Manman – and into a topic that was very disadvantageous for what she intended to discuss.
That greatly diminished the force of her words.
Lian Manman, that girl, was too non-confrontational. Lady Zhou almost fell for her tricks again.
