Wen Nuan's mention of divorce caused turmoil within the Wen Family, with everyone opposing her decision to divorce—especially Mrs. Wen. She had grown increasingly fond of her son-in-law, Ye Feimo, who, despite this one lapse of losing control and causing an accident that led to a miscarriage, had otherwise been faultless both toward Wen Nuan and the family.
Mr. Wen usually refrained from meddling in the affairs of the Wen Sisters, but marriage was no trivial matter, not something to be discarded as easily as claiming divorce, especially since they had been married for only a year... Mr. and Mrs. Wen took turns reasoning with Wen Nuan, advocating reconciliation over separation. They both thought that the miscarriage had devastated Wen Nuan and that her disappointment in Ye Feimo had precipitated her thoughts of divorce.
No matter what Mr. and Mrs. Wen said, Wen Nuan listened intently but never abandoned the thought.
