The Valued Lady is Truly Dominant

Chapter 560: Chapter 560: Dining Together, Each Cultivating Their Own Path

When the people sent by Song Zhiqing returned to the Prime Minister’s Mansion, Song Ci was chatting leisurely with a few daughters-in-law, discussing the gossip of various families. Upon hearing the words from Li Sheng, Song Ci was momentarily stunned.

Liu shi, however, was so shocked that she knocked over her tea bowl, her face turning pale, a pain piercing her heart.

Song Ci came back to her senses, furrowing her brows slightly, pursing her lips, and let out a sigh as she looked towards Madam Song and Jiang shi.

Jiang shi laughed and said, ”Look at you, Third Sister-in-law, so happy to hear Third Brother is back that you can’t even hold your tea bowl. Be careful, or Mother will tease you.”

Liu shi forced a smile, stood up, and gave Song Ci a bow, ”Mother, it was my mistake and rudeness.”

Song Ci glanced at her wet clothes and said, ”Look at how your clothes are all wet. Quickly go back to your courtyard and change. It’s late autumn nearing winter, and the weather is chilly. Don’t catch a cold.”

Liu shi gave a bow and quickly retreated.

Song Ci set the tea bowl down sullenly, looking somewhat displeased.

Madam Song and Jiang shi exchanged a glance and persuaded, ”Mother, perhaps Third Sister-in-law was just overly happy and lost her manners. Please don’t blame her.”

Song Ci gave them a look as if questioning their eyesight.

”Are you sure she was happy?”

This is lying with open eyes.

The two daughters-in-law gave an awkward smile. Okay, they were indeed lying.

”That Third Son is truly something, following in his father’s footsteps, unable to control his lower half. Liu shi is sensitive; who knows, it might cause trouble in the future. As her sisters-in-law, you should advise her more.”

Madam Song and Jiang shi quickly responded, ”Mother, don’t worry.”

Song Ci nodded, ”I’m old and just want some peace for a few more years. As for the woman Third Son brought back, Gu shi, you should keep an eye on her.”

Rumor has it that woman also has the surname Bai, and her name is Bai Shuilian. Damn, could she possibly be like her name?

Song Bai’s steamed bun already has a concubine named Shui Lianlian, also playing the weak and innocent role. Who knows what level this Bai Lianhua is at, and how she compares to Concubine Shui?

Goodness, two concubines in the mansion with almost the same style and similar names. These scummy father and son really have the same taste. Will they mix them up in the future?

Song Ci imagined a sleazy scene in her mind and shivered.

Not only did she find it distasteful, but Madam Song and Jiang shi also thought of this. As the two of them left Chunhui Hall, they began whispering.

”I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or true inheritance that even the names of the concubines are similar,” Jiang shi sneered, ”Big Sister, do you think that Bai Shuilian looks just like the one from the old man’s side?”

Madam Song curled her lips disdainfully, ”We’ll see how she looks tomorrow. To be able to win over Third Son and so quickly give birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix twins, she must not be simple. There will be plenty of excitement in the future.”

Jiang shi was a bit disgusted, ”Third Son really is something. Isn’t it nice to live peacefully? Why bring people back to stir unrest at home?”

The Prime Minister’s Mansion had a simple population and a peaceful back courtyard, with none of those spirits and monsters. Many madams envied and felt jealous. But with Third Son bringing people back, there probably won’t be peace in the future, especially in the third branch.

Madam Song mocked, ”Eating at the same table, each follows his own path. The Prime Minister’s Mansion is big enough; everyone can live behind closed doors. Second Sister-in-law, just treat it as a joke. Why bother with her?”

Jiang shi smiled, ”Yes, right. It is a bit difficult for Third Sister-in-law, but she’s no pushover. Just wait and see.”
