Back then, she refused to heed advice and insisted on marrying down, going against her eldest brother for this.
In order not to let her brother, sister-in-law, and friends look down on Shang Yu, she repeatedly warned him after marriage that unless the Shang Family faced an existential crisis, he must never ask her brother for anything.
He clearly agreed and repeatedly promised that unless absolutely necessary, he would never seek her brother's help.
How laughable that she believed him, even thinking he was truly capable, which was how the Shang Family could evolve from an ordinary wealthy family into a top merchant clan within a few short years.
Because of this, she even thought she had good judgment, choosing a very capable man, and felt smug for a long time.
But little did she know, all of this was her eldest brother's doing.
He broke his promise and secretly wrote to her brother for help many times.
Ha, how foolish she was!
Isn't it so?
