The Valued Lady is Truly Dominant

Chapter 981: Chapter 981: My Kid Is Handsome and Well-Groomed

The elders, when looking at their own children, find them flawless. Song Ci, who is always protective, is no exception. She sincerely believes that all her grandchildren are excellent, not falsely praising them out of bias, but truly considering them handsome and smooth.

Counting on her fingers, with Song Lingsu’s qualifications, how could he be lacking in any way?

His father holds a key official position, a favored figure before the Emperor, a trusted minister. His mother comes from the Marquis Mansion, and his two sisters have married into families of wealth or nobility—these are hard conditions to beat.

As for his personal attributes, Song Lingsu is handsome, with a gentle demeanor like jade, elegant and dignified. He holds the scholar title and is currently studying under the renowned Grandmaster Fu. His future is limitless, and at sixteen or seventeen, he remains a pure young man, preserving himself with integrity—so rare.

Don’t underestimate this bonus point; among aristocratic descendants, how many haven’t had a maid as a bedfellow by a young age? Which woman would willingly share a man?

It’s cringe-worthy!

Additionally, his parents have no concubines, which is the biggest bonus point, one that many women welcome. With loving parents, the children naturally observe and learn by example.

Considering everything, how could their eldest grandson be lacking?

In terms of status, is it lacking? Was the Wen Family wealthy from the start? Didn’t it rise through the efforts of their ancestors?

And the Song Family, with two scholars, is also newly noble, not a mere upstart.

”... Moreover, that Madam Wen’s lineage from the Wang Family should also distinguish between direct and collateral branches. In such a large Wang Family, there are obvious divisions.” Song Ci rattled off a long list as she counted on her fingers.

Song Zhiyuan found it amusing yet helpless; his mother was undoubtedly as protective as the Emperor.

”In your eyes, our family’s boy is perfect in every way.”

Song Ci nodded, ”Naturally, yes. I’m not exaggerating; the atmosphere in our mansion is excellent. The rarest quality is the simplicity and tranquility among its people.”

”It’s not so tranquil now,” Song Zhiyuan hinted.

Song Ci’s face darkened, knowing he referred to Song Zhiqing’s side. She snorted, ”It’s still more tranquil than other mansions. High-status households may sound impressive, but if the mansion’s affairs are complex, a girl entering would surely suffer. No need to look far, just consider Qi’er.”

Thinking of what Song Ruqi once endured, Song Zhiyuan sighed.

”But this is our perspective, others might not think the same. As you said, even if we boast extravagantly, our rise is just over thirty years; our heritage indeed falls short compared to others.” Song Ci stroked the teacup and said, ”Marriage is about mutual consent, forming bonds not enmity. Since we have such a prospect, perhaps it’s best to explore it first. It’s too early to say if it will succeed.”

Song Zhiyuan replied, ”That’s just what I think. I heard Madam Wen misses her granddaughter and plans to bring her children to the capital this Mid-Autumn, staying until after the New Year.”

”What a coincidence?”

”Miss Wen is already fourteen, it’s time to discuss marriage prospects. The Wen Family might have plans to consider matches in the capital.” Song Zhiyuan said, ”This autumn will certainly see families hosting banquets, appreciations of chrysanthemums, and poetry gatherings. If mother is invited, it would be indispensable to have your insightful presence.”

”Me? I’m not fond of such occasions, but your wife’s health has improved, she can go.”

Song Zhiyuan said, ”She will indeed go, but having your keen eyes observe is beneficial.”

Song Ci thought about it. The choice of the eldest grandson’s wife is crucial for maintaining harmony among the daughters-in-law and must be approached cautiously. So she agreed, ”Alright.”
