On Jiang Li's side, a full-blown fight had taken place after Jiang Li mentioned a name that was actually a taboo in the household.
Lady Yu. A sickly woman from the prominent scholarly Yu family. Before she fell for a boorish man who only how to brawl and ride horses, she was one of the most sought after ladies by countless aristocratic men, famous for being peerless in appearance and possessing a gentle water-like temperament. When her sedan was carried into the Grand Marshal's household, there many many men who cried rivers of tears for her, lamenting why the heavens were so blind to wed her to that unworthy commoner-born man, Jiang Ke.
Perhaps, since the man she married knew he didn't deserve her, he did everything to rise in ranks and give her the kind of life that she deserved. Unfortunately, the woman was truly sickly.
