I blame the education system... I kinda understand the mentality behind Chu family -by marrying into riches etc (even though they are also supposed to be rich- like old Xia family) but I can't understand how mama Mubai's mind works. Why do you care about who your daughter-in-law shouldn't be that much? Your son is married, not wearing a green hat, they made a son a.k.a. the next heir, the bride may be a bit antisocial but you can make do with it and spend as much time as you want with Tianxin or whoever in your free time... Why scheme against their marriage?
... Damnit Mubai! I ALREADY MADE A NICE LONG COMMENT ABOUT BEING A FELLOW HUMAN! (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ I mean... considering you got plotted against, and waited allllllll the way to the very last second to cancel the engagement, I think more like a kitten trying to become a cat and testing out it's claws~ I don't think your scratching post (everyone else at the table) appreciates it very much though~ .... ..... Wasn't it only a few chapters back that Tianxin was saying only "her background" could match with Mubai? I don't get how that suddenly became an uneven contract? Or was she just deluded in THAT as well?
