Shen Mao'an didn't go out with them because when they were about to leave, the dowry from the Yao Family arrived first.
Six large boxes of dowry, chosen by the Yao Family with the auspicious number six for good fortune. But in Shen Mao'an's opinion, six boxes seemed rather stingy. Why not choose eight, meaning prosperity, or ten, meaning perfection? The most important thing was that their Shen Family could profit.
Grandma Shen and Shen's second brother, fearing to delay the wedding, had the boxes carried inside without even looking at them and left first. Shen Mao'an had the boxes moved to her room, and after everyone left, she closed the door and opened the lids to check what the Yao Family sent.
