Tingzheng brought the item home and didn't have the chance to explain to Lin Qinghan that it belonged to Yueyao before he was summoned back to the military camp. As it happened, Lin Qinghan returned to the capital the next day, and Tingzheng was too busy with battles to recall the matter. As for Wu Daquan, he had sent letters to the capital, but with the wars happening in the coastal region, it's common for regular mail to get lost. All these coincidences led to the current misunderstanding.
Xiang Wei, after reading the letter, surprisingly didn't reproach Lin Qinghan: "It really is quite a coincidence."
Yueyao had a different perspective from Xiang Wei: "Do you really think it's a coincidence? I think Madam Lin doesn't care about Tingzheng at all; she doesn't even know what kind of person her husband is." Even he knew that Tingzheng wasn't someone extravagant; how could someone like that spend thousands of silver pieces for a decorative item for his mother-in-law's birthday?
