The Valued Lady is Truly Dominant

Chapter 769: Chapter 769: The She-Wolf Takes a Fancy to the Little Lamb

After roasting the Fan Family’s daughter-in-law, Song Ci felt both physically and mentally relaxed, as if all her pores had opened up.

Nothing beats roasting someone to lift your spirits, better than countless Immortal Elixirs.

After the roasting, she didn’t forget to admonish her own two boys: ”You guys have to straighten up and be confident, don’t be self-deprecating. Remember, don’t compare your weaknesses to others’ strengths. That’ll just make you miserable. Weaknesses can shine in other areas too.”

Come on, drink this bowl of toxic chicken soup and face the challenges head-on.

The crowd: This old lady is definitely toxic for sure, look at the Fan Family daughter-in-law, her face is as dark as the bottom of a pot.

Heh.

Someone nearby couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Song Ci looked over, the person blushed, stood up, and gracefully bowed to Song Ci.

It was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old Noble Lady, wearing a sky-blue set of summer clothes, with an oval face, bright eyes, and white teeth, her gaze upright, her demeanor elegant and classy, beautiful and extraordinary.

Song Ci returned her smile, then casually looked at the people beside her. Someone glanced at the young lady with a reproachful look, then smiled at Song Ci with a touch of apology.

”Which family is that?”

Nanny glanced over, bent down slightly, and said to Song Ci: ”It’s the ladies from the Duke Dingguo Mansion, that one is Madam of Duke Dingguo, and that should be her legitimate daughter.”

”The Duke Dingguo Mansion was in mourning? I haven’t seen this little girl in the Beijing Circle before.”

”I heard they returned to their hometown in Shandong to observe the mourning period, and they just came back this year.”

Song Ci evaluated the reception from the Duke Dingguo Mansion, not many people came, and there were only a few ladies, two or three young girls.

She smiled at Madam of Duke Dingguo, then shifted her gaze to the dragon boat, pondering in her heart about the Guan Family at the Duke Dingguo Mansion, they have that treasure there.

Iron Contract.

On the Duke Dingguo Mansion side, Guan Shuyan withdrew her gaze and whispered to the Madam of Duke Dingguo: ”Mother, your daughter was inappropriate.”

”You, ah.” Madam of Duke Dingguo glanced at her, softly saying: ”Don’t be impolite in front of others, all the ladies here are from noble families.”

Guan Shuyan nodded, straightened herself, and sneaked another look at Song Ci. No wonder she couldn’t hold back; that old lady’s way of speaking was truly interesting.

Madam Fan, however, smiled at Madam of Duke Dingguo and said: ”Madam Duke has just returned to the capital, is this Miss Guan? Haven’t seen her for years, she’s grown into quite the beauty.”

Madam of Duke Dingguo smiled slightly and said: ”You’re too kind. This is indeed my youngest daughter. Among the girls in our family, she’s the sixth. Shuyan, why don’t you greet Madam Fan?”

Guan Shuyan got up again and gracefully saluted Madam Fan.

Madam Fan smiled and beckoned her over, took a good look at her, asked a few questions, then removed a hairpin from her head to give to her.

Guan Shuyan hesitated a bit, looking to her mother, and only after seeing her nod did she accept it and solemnly bowed to express her gratitude.

Song Ci observed with a sidelong glance, secretly admiring the young girl’s good upbringing, but seeing Madam Fan’s mother-wolf-eyeing-a-little-lamb look, it’s probably time for that lady’s socializing three questions.

”Miss Guan Liu is indeed outstanding, Madam of Duke, you’ve raised her well. Has she been promised to anyone yet?”

Guan Shuyan blushed with shame, returned to her mother’s side to sit down, wishing she could dig a hole to hide in.

Song Ci waved her fan, thinking, I really am smart; my guess was spot on, the Fan Family is certainly interested.

Sure enough, upon hearing that Guan Liu wasn’t yet betrothed, Madam Fan’s smile widened, and the eyes of the people around also warmed up. But thinking about their own status compared to that of the Duke’s family, they gave up, realizing they couldn’t match up.
