In East Stone Village, Zhao Yuhong had already indirectly learned from her daughter that her daughter and Ye Qiu had not consummated their marriage. She felt indescribable, a mix of worry and relief.
She was worried that without consummating the marriage, her daughter might be despised by Ye Qiu and lack a descendant to rely on in the future. Yet, she felt relieved that Ye Qiu had not taken advantage of her daughter. Although they were husband and wife, the reason for their marriage was not entirely honorable, and besides, the daughter was that way, her first time should have been that way, despite it being natural, she still felt somewhat uncomfortable.
After some thought, Zhao Yuhong decided to let them be for now, reasoning that it would not be too late to offer advice if something turned out to be wrong in the future. She had watched Ye Qiu grow up and believed in his character.
