Who hasn't made mistakes when they were young? So many years have passed, and that slight resentment she felt had long since worn smooth. Although she couldn't say she liked Song Yongmei, she didn't share the strong aversion everyone else felt.
The affair concerning cousin Yongyi had joyously been set, the wedding scheduled for next month. While it was all a bit rushed, everyone involved was an adult, and the preparations for the wedding went quickly. The couple was in tune with each other's feelings; an early wedding meant an early resolution.
Everyone had no objections to this; however, during this time, older cousin Song Yongyu had always shut herself in her room, and no amount of persuasion worked.
Su Xiaowan felt quite helpless, but this was a matter where she had to be firm. Without facing some adversity, how could one grow? Avoiding hardship now could mean facing greater suffering in the future.
