The Valued Lady is Truly Dominant

Chapter 1102: Foxes All, No Need for Ghost Stories

"You, Yunzhi, you really speak without shocking, you won’t stop."Duke Dingguo poured himself a large cup of tea and drank it, expressing his shock at Song Zhiyuan’s words, needing to calm himself down.

Song Zhiyuan smiled and said, "I already have a son and daughter, and I’m not interested in taking in concubines to have illegitimate children. When my wife gave birth before, she hurt her body, and I don’t want any accidents. So I simply had the Imperial Physician prescribe medicine to prevent it altogether."

Duke Dingguo opened his mouth and said, "Isn’t it usually women who take the Contraceptive Soup?"

"The Contraceptive Soup also harms the body, so I’d rather take it myself, once and for all." Song Zhiyuan smiled lightly and said, "This way, in the future, if I unknowingly fall into a trap and someone comes to me calling me ’father’ to settle accounts, there will be no confusion."

Duke Dingguo: "..."

Are you crazy? Even considering being guarded against becoming a father!

But speaking truthfully, you’re really ruthless, capable of being harsh on yourself. Most people wouldn’t think of this, he hadn’t thought of it either.

"Therefore, I can’t have any more daughters. Fortunately, I have two sons. In the future, they can marry two obedient daughters-in-law like Little Sixth Maid, and have a few obedient granddaughters like her."

Duke Dingguo: "..."

Drawing little people, drawn inside out, straightforwardly asking if I can let go.

Sometimes dealing with Civil Servants is like this, a matter must be said in a roundabout way, can’t it be simple and straightforward?

Going in circles then, as you wish.

Duke Dingguo continued to feign ignorance, laughed and said, "Indeed, your eldest son is now under Grandmaster Fu, surely with boundless prospects, such talent will definitely marry a Ru Yi-like good wife in the future."

"Boundless prospects, I dare not promise for now, but gaining some status shouldn’t be difficult."

Such boasting.

Duke Dingguo raised his eyebrows and said, "Yunzhi certainly has confidence."

Song Zhiyuan said, "For the eldest son, I always have high hopes. With the year-end approaching, when my son returns from the Academy for the holidays, he should visit you here for some advice. If you favor him, could you give him some guidance?"

Young men generally don’t visit easily, they’re clearly hinting at that matter.

Duke Dingguo’s mouth twitched: "I, coming from a Military General background, am supposed to guide him in writing essays? Yunzhi, you’re really putting me in a tough spot in a roundabout way."

"Yunzhi wouldn’t dare." Song Zhiyuan smiled with squinted eyes and said, "You, Lord, your conduct is always worth learning from for the younger generations. Your advice would be a blessing to the young man, benefiting him for life. Even the Saint said, ’When three people walk together, there’s one who can be my teacher.’ In any matter, there are always different opinions and perspectives. By contemplating multiple angles, one’s learning becomes applicable, and one’s vision won’t be too narrow."

Duke Dingguo glared, Song Zhiyuan smiled brightly.

Masters exchange moves, each one deadly.

We’re all foxes here, let’s not play tricks, be straightforward, raise an eyebrow, and stop at that.

Duke Dingguo gave a light snort and said, "If you’re willing, let him come. Not to mention anything else, let me see if he’s physically strong because, after all, health is wealth. Especially for young people, they must be physically robust. If he’s as weak as a chicken, unable to even protect a wife, there’s nothing worth noticing."

"Lord, you speak reasonably. You possess great martial skills; I don’t expect you to teach him Martial Arts, but passing on some fitness techniques, he could learn something." Song Zhiyuan laughed heartily and said, "By the way, our Song Family has a villa with hot springs, filled with wintersweet flowers, the scenery is beautiful. Next time, let my wife send invites for Madam and Little Sixth Maid to come over and enjoy?"

Duke Dingguo: "..."

Slippery yet still very much like Prime Minister Song.
