The Valued Lady is Truly Dominant

Chapter 582: Chapter 582 Prime Minister Song: Kiddo, shall we take a stroll?

At his father’s sudden probing, Song Lingsu was taken aback for a moment, his brow furrowing.

”Surpass me?”

Song Zhiyuan casually remarked, ”Although your third brother is young, as his father, I observe he has a talent for strategy and judgment. That’s why I allow him to participate in the study sessions, listening and learning indirectly. Over time, he may not achieve great success, don’t you fear?”

Song Lingsu questioned back, ”Father thinks I should fear? Leaving aside the fact that my third brother and I aren’t from the same mother, we are close in age, grew up playing together since childhood, and are undoubtedly like kin brothers. If he thrives, I can only be happy, where does this fear come from? Even if I don’t want to admit it, my third brother is actually more decisive and strategic, bold and meticulous, with a child so wise, if he achieves greatly, it would be a great fortune for our Song family. Why should I fear?”

”Father doesn’t have to test me either. I know you have great ambitions and are wholeheartedly striving for the Song family to last for a hundred years or more. All your decisions are only to lead the family further. I understand. If you think the third brother is more suitable as the next Family Head and successor, I have no objection.”

Song Zhiyuan felt an indescribable emotion, saying, ”Are you telling me now that you won’t compete?”

Song Lingsu awkwardly smiled, ”Not competing is also a form of competition. But as a son of the Song family, I should also consider the Song family and strive for its greatest benefit.”

Song Zhiyuan’s eyes grew warm, and he couldn’t help but reach out to rub his son’s hair, ”My son has grown up.”

”The two times I traveled for study and returned home to take exams, all that I’ve seen and heard on the way, have broadened my mind and perspective greatly, allowing me to realize my own shortcomings. Observing the vast landscape, I feel even smaller. Father, there is so much I still need to learn, and indeed I’d like to travel more, but with my parents here, I can’t travel far.” Otherwise, traveling every corner of the Great Qing would be pleasant.

”Indeed, after seeing the vast world outside, one cannot be confined to one place. In the future, you will have the opportunity to venture out.” Song Zhiyuan patted him on the shoulder, saying, ”Then it’s settled. I’ll take you to Lushan Academy to visit Grandmaster Fu. Whether he accepts you or not depends on your fate with him.”

Song Lingsu nodded.

Song Zhiyuan looked at his Adam’s apple, then focused on the area below his nose. The young boy already had some stubble. Observing his son’s long limbs this year, he raised an eyebrow.

The boy has grown up, it’s time to discuss matters between men.

”Su’er is already fifteen this year, growing up. At night, when you sleep soundly, have you had any wet dreams?”

Song Lingsu had just taken a sip of tea, and upon hearing this, he spat it out right onto his father.

Song Zhiyuan’s face dripped with tea, ”...”

Was it necessary?

With an embarrassed, flushed face, Song Lingsu hurriedly took a handkerchief to wipe his father, anxiously saying, ”Father...”

”It’s nothing.” Song Zhiyuan took the handkerchief from his son’s hand, wiped his face, and said, ”When a gentleman matures, if the essence overflows, it’s normal. If you experience it, don’t panic.”

Song Lingsu was bewildered.

Why, all of a sudden, did the topic of conversation change like this?

”Well, in other residences, at your age, arrangements sometimes include a maid who knows the ways of the world. Do you want one? If you’re struggling, I’ll have your mother arrange one for you?” Song Zhiyuan slyly suggested, ”In that case, taking you to the Junya Court to experience a refined girl might be better than having the reputation of taking a maid too early.”

Song Lingsu was extremely flustered, thinking his father had been possessed as he suggested taking him to a brothel for a youthful experience.

Too liberated, son can’t handle it!
