Dong Wenxiu's desire to return home grew more and more urgent, as she felt no sense of belonging in the Dong Family. However, she also knew her daughter's matters were unfinished, so she felt it inappropriate to insist on leaving, and her daughter wouldn't be at ease letting her go alone, so she had no choice but to continue living there.
Fortunately, Dong Xun, for whatever reason, was particularly clingy towards his daughter. He usually required her company during meals and conversations, giving Dong Wenxiu something to occupy herself with.
Although Dong Yushi's illness had improved, Dong Wenming's treatment of her was no longer the same; he had not even entered her room anymore.
She seemed to have aged a lot all at once.
What distressed her more was that Dong Xun had spoken up, wanting Dong Wenming to take a concubine. "Among the unfilial acts, having no descendants is the worst." The Dong family could not just end like this.
