Mrs. Qin wanted to make use of Madam Li and Du Jiayi to achieve her goal of asking Old Madam Qin to step in. Madam Li's heart ached for her daughter, who would not marry anyone but Qin Xiu. She lost her judgment and fell into Mrs. Qin's trap.
This was her fault. She couldn't blame anyone. Mrs. Qin's ultimate goal was to let Old Madam Qin know how bad Qin Xiu's taste was. With Jiayi as a comparison, Old Madam Qin would definitely accept Jiayi and persuade Qin Xiu to accept Jiayi.
Hence, she had no right to blame Mrs. Qin. She could only accept it.
In order to let her daughter get what she wanted, she accepted it.
She admitted that Mrs. Qin had set her up, but she couldn't accept that Old Madam Qin felt that her daughter was bad.
Jiayi had been smart since she was young and was liked by her elders. She was talented and had good wits. If she married into the family, she would definitely be a good wife. She wouldn't drag Qin Xiu down.
