Rejection

Madam Ma did not dare to agree to this marriage.

Not to mention how important the status of the prefectural magistrate's daughter was, she did not even dare to accept an ordinary official's daughter.

At the end of the day, it was still their second branch's fault for not being careful and falling into the trap, causing her mother-in-law to come and save them at her age.

Before rescuing them, she even jumped into the water to save another person in winter. This was probably a very dangerous act even for young people . Her mother-in-law was already in her fifties, but she still had to do such a thing.

This was their unfilialness as sons and daughters-in-law.

Not to mention this, just the kindness that her mother-in-law had exchanged her life for could not be offset by the second branch's marriage.

Mother-in-law had jumped into the water to save someone, and the second branch had scooped up an official's wife. What was this?
