The Valued Lady is Truly Dominant

Chapter 1098: The Spark of Intention

Song Ci was being assisted by Nanny Gong to go to the lavatory, murmuring about Song Ruqi’s current pregnancy, and then the topic shifted to Song Lingsu’s marriage."Do you think, if our family asks, would Madam Guan be interested?"

Nanny Gong said, "This old servant wouldn’t dare to say for sure. In my opinion, the Young Master is excellent in every aspect, even marrying a princess would be possible, but who knows what the Duke Mansion thinks."

"Indeed, family alliances involve so much," Song Ci thought about politics, which was the most taboo.

"If you really like Miss Guan Liu, you can just probe a bit. Whether it comes to fruition or not is another matter. Isn’t discussing marriage all about testing each other, going back and forth several times?" Nanny Gong replied.

Song Ci nodded: "I think my eldest daughter-in-law already has that intention. We will see what they say after she discusses it with my eldest son, I won’t interfere."

"Don’t let this old servant expose you. You say you won’t interfere, but in your heart, you’re still thinking of lending a hand."

"I absolutely won’t interfere." Song Ci put on new clothes, saw the bead necklace on the side, and frowned: "Why has this thing been brought out again?"

Nanny Gong glanced at it and then looked towards Qing Ming.

Qing Ming bowed and said, "This servant saw that the Lady hasn’t been well, and this bead necklace is said to be beneficial, so I brought it out to match."

Song Ci looked at the necklace and said, "Put it away, I’m not wearing it."

Thinking of the old lady’s dream, possibly about Prince Min, and then seeing this thing, it just felt unsettling in the heart.

Nanny Gong gave a signal, and Qing Ming put the necklace away.

...

Indeed, Song Madam had some thoughts. For her eldest son’s marriage, originally a girl from the Wen Family would have been a suitable match, but she didn’t expect something like that to happen, so she was determined to find someone even better than the girl from the Wen Family for her eldest son.

As for high doors matching humble doors, she hadn’t even considered it. If the legitimate daughter-in-law wasn’t presentable, it would be hard to manage the household.

When Song Zhiyuan returned to the main courtyard, Song Madam first informed him about the good news of Song Ruqi’s pregnancy again.

Song Zhiyuan was indeed pleased, saying, "More attention should be paid to this pregnancy. Send two older maids to her side to prevent any unpleasant events."

Song Madam smiled and said, "I thought the same; even Mother mentioned to send a picky maid or a matron to accompany her with meals and drinks. The girl learned a lesson from the previous pregnancy and is now overly cautious. She said she would stay at our mansion until the end of the year before returning to the Duke Mansion."

"If she wants to stay, let her be. After marrying, she hasn’t stayed back at the mansion for a short visit. This time she can stay longer; I’m sure the Duke Ying Mansion has nothing to say, considering she’s not the main daughter-in-law and doesn’t have to manage the house." Song Zhiyuan had no objections at all.

Song Madam was relieved and, after talking about her daughter, she brought up her eldest son’s marriage: "If you still have no thoughts on it, what do you think of the youngest daughter from the Duke Dingguo Mansion? Would she be a suitable match?"

Song Zhiyuan was surprised: "The Duke Dingguo Mansion?"

Song Madam nodded: "I’ve seen her a few times. That Miss Guan Liu is also known to have attended Grandmaster Fu’s classes and respectfully calls Su’er ’senior brother’. Even Qian’er mentioned she is good, and many madams from the Gu Family have taken an interest. Even Mother thinks the girl is well-educated. If you think our family is a suitable match, shall I attempt to test the waters?"

Song Zhiyuan rubbed his thumb thoughtfully and said, "In a couple of days, I’ll invite Duke Dingguo for tea."
