The Dong Family's business was flourishing, and Mr. Dong frequently traveled north and south for trade, spending most of his time on the road. Therefore, he married late and had children late. This year, at the age of twenty-eight, he finally had a daughter whom he cherished deeply, fearing that his wife, whom he would remarry, might not be virtuous and could harm his daughter.
Upon hearing about Shang Xiuyu's situation, he developed a fondness for her and said to the Dong Family head, "This woman from the Shang Family has shown compassion even after enduring abuse from Ms. Lin Su. It can be seen that she is kind-hearted. Marrying her would be beneficial for Xiao Fu."
"Furthermore, she is a strong-willed person with a clear mind. Even when frightened by the Lin Family, she dared to stand out at crucial moments and speak of wanting a divorce."
"Such a woman is rare and would be a wise choice for marriage."
