Chapter 1002: Chapter 1002: I Was Looked Down Upon by Nanny
Song Ci was lounging on the bed, chatting idly with Nanny Gong about tonightâs happenings.
"You didnât take a liking to that Miss Wen?" Nanny Gong was somewhat surprised by Song Ciâs assessment of the Wen mother and daughter, and laughed, "Surely it wasnât because Madam Wen said something implying disdain for farmers that made you unhappy, right?"
Song Ci glanced at her, "Do I seem like such a petty person to you?"
"You kind of do, madam. Youâre quite a bold spirit, after all. If you donât like someone, you confront them directly and donât pretend to be friendly."
"Nonsense, Iâve practiced my acting skills." Song Ci hinted, "No one can escape the issue of social class. Itâs not unusual for noble families to look down on common folks. I wouldnât require people to treat everyone equallyâthat would just sound ignorant."
"Youâre the wise one in the world." Nanny Gong tucked in the quilt.
Song Ci gave her a sidelong look, "Youâve picked up quite a few expressions from following me, Nanny Gong."
Nanny Gong chuckled.
Song Ci said, "To be honest, I feel that Miss Wen is a bit too proud. That arrogance of hers, though she tries hard to suppress it, itâs still apparent."
Wen Zishanâs etiquette, upbringing, and even her family background are actually impeccable, suitable even for becoming an Imperial Concubine with a promising future. Her pride gives her an air of superiority, even though she tries to suppress it.
But who is Song Ci? Having studied acting, she may not be an expert in observing subtle expressions, but itâs enough to evaluate a young girl.
She probably looks down on that Sixth Miss of the Guan Family, thinking that her behavior and words are excessively bold and open?
Nanny Gong said, "Madam Wen comes from the Wang Family, so naturally, her upbringing isnât lacking. That she teaches her children to have pride is not surprising."
"Youâre right, but such a girl is probably not suitable for Suâer," Song Ci said. "Suâer has a reserved nature, and people who are reserved are often introverted, delicate, and calm. Miss Wen, with her pride, will surely strive for perfection. If an argument were to occur between them, with Suâerâs introverted nature unable to understand or communicate, wouldnât they just end up stuck? That Miss Wen would probably yearn for a husband who is stronger and can suppress her."
Nanny Gong listened and rubbed her forehead, saying, "According to your account, what kind of girl can the Young Master marry? Isnât every couple supposed to live in mutual respect and harmony?"
Song Ci awkwardly replied, "I have too many requirements then. I just want Suâer to find someone whose character can complement his, so they might be happier."
Nanny Gong lightly teased, "Allow an old servant to say, youâre overthinking it!"
Song Ci: "... "
So, youâre looking down on me, I can tell!
Song Ci also knew she was again viewing things with her modern mindset, feeling a bit guilty, she said, "Forget it, just one look wonât reveal much. After some time, Iâll invite them over again for a closer look. If the elder couple approves, then let it be."
Sheâs just giving her opinion anyway.
"Thatâs how it should be." Nanny Gong said, "You just wait to drink the Granddaughter-in-lawâs tea. The Prime Minister will handle it all."
Song Ci sighed, "Iâm just hoping to welcome a sensible and reasonable daughter-in-law. A good eldest daughter-in-law can interact well with the sisters-in-law, creating harmony in the family. But if we find someone who insists on standing out everywhere, itâll definitely lead to many conflicts, and peace would be surprising. Just look at that fool from the Ji Family tonight; being such an idiot, itâs surprising that the Ji Family hasnât faced misfortune yet."
Nanny Gong said, "She probably wonât be allowed to attend social events after tonight."
If the Ji Family has any sense, they will surely take action. Honestly, allowing such a fool out is practically digging their own grave.
