Chapter 100: Chapter 100 Thank You for Not Calling My Son a Scumbag
Song Ci held the tea, listening to Madam Wei praising her precious nieceās āimpressive achievementsā, and pieced together a story.
It was about an orphan girl who, with her own strength, exchanged a small portion of her wealth to win over the Clan Leader, achieving mutual benefits, thereby safeguarding most of her assets.
In short, when Wang Qiuman marries in the future, her dowry will definitely be generous. She is wealthy and capable, making her an ideal candidate for Lady of the household.
"She is truly impressive," Song Ci chuckled.
The words carried no sarcasm. At such a young age, to have the wisdom to protect her assets amidst multiple challenges, and to emerge from careful scheming, is truly impressive.
Song Ci even thought, could it be these ancient girls were raised on smart pills, so wise at such a young age, understanding human nature and knowing how to protect themselves? Then she thought of herself at twelve or thirteen, hmm, cuddling a Barbie doll, braiding its hair, and dressing it in flowery dresses?
However, Madam Wei believed Song Ci was displeased, so she said somewhat sullenly, "Actually, not particularly impressive, just a tad impressive. Itās inevitable, with only her left, if she didnāt toughen up, sheād be at othersā mercy. Itās like how poor children mature early. And her ability to escape from those predatory relatives, my late brother had laid some groundwork, having taught her closely while she was with him."
"I understand, the environment makes one grow," Song Ci nodded in agreement.
Madam Wei hurriedly added, "Yes, yes, elder sister truly sees things more clearly than others."
"You flatter me," Song Ci smiled and said, "The girl is a good child. In your household, there must be suitable young gentlemen as well."
Madam Weiās heart sank, sensing little hope in the matter, and she responded with a bitter smile, "Dear elder sister, I sincerely wish to find a good marriage for this poor child. In my household, indeed some have set their eyes on her, but they are incapable illegitimate sons, endowed with little other than shamelessness. As for the legal sons..."
She showed a mocking smile, "My two daughters-in-law, how could they bear to let a widowās eldest daughter marry the eldest son? You would laugh, all they want is to raise her as a Noble Concubine."
Song Ci pursed her lips, thinking, do you know Iām actually a sham, thus willing to let Song Si marry such a wife?
"Elder sister, Iām not trying to deceive you. Though your fourth son has no titles, still a bit of a playboy, at least heās not like my illegitimate grandsons, and the Song Familyās family culture is decent, so I dared to bring up this suggestion," Madam Wei continued, "I merely thought if your fourth son cannot expand, itās fine to maintain. He resembles his father, just marry a capable wife, live as a wealthy idler, and life would be stable."
Song Ci twitched her mouth, thinking, I just lack your words that my youngest is a scoundrel and should marry a formidable wife to maintain the household.
"The person I consider doesnāt count unless the child likes them. After all, itās the young couple living together, right? And Miss Wang, did you hint anything to her?"
Madam Wei hurriedly shook her head, "How could I, you have to meet her first, otherwise, if itās not a match and you tell her, wouldnāt the child lose face? I merely said Iād bring her to visit elder sister you."
Despite the words, she mused, did elder sister become muddle-headed due to illness, surely canāt say anything, does her familyās girl have no shame?
Song Ci said peevishly, "Still the same, it must be my sonās preference first."
"Of course, and what do you think?" Madam Wei blinked her eyes, "How about letting the two children meet accidentally?"
