The Valued Lady is Truly Dominant

Chapter 866: Chapter 866: The In-Laws’ Probing

”Mother-in-law, I really failed to greet you properly.”

Song Ci came in, smiling as he greeted Madam Gu.

Madam Gu held her hand and said, ”I’ve not visited for a long time, it should be me who visits you first. I’ve been so worried about Xiangyi that I forgot my manners. Please forgive me this time, dear mother-in-law.”

Song Ci replied, ”We are family, why talk of forgiveness? That would put me in a difficult position. The Gu Family has long been looking forward to your visit, and now that you’re here, I might take up your time and chat with you, which might make her blame me as an inconsiderate mother-in-law.”

Madam Gu, smiling widely, said, ”You have always been considerate of your daughters-in-law. Xiangyi is fortunate to have married into the Song Family. Looking back, it seems this marriage was truly the right choice. Dear mother-in-law, I’ve heard about the dangers of the childbirth this time. It truly scared me half to death. If it weren’t for you, she and the child wouldn’t be safe. Otherwise, I’m afraid...”

As she spoke, she dabbed the corner of her eyes with a handkerchief.

Song Ci hurriedly comforted her, saying, ”That’s all in the past. Let’s not talk about it anymore lest we get sad again. She is my daughter-in-law and a contributor to the Song Family. I will protect her. You see, she’s overcome the hurdle, and good fortune awaits.”

”Yes, indeed.” Madam Gu smiled with a face full of lines, holding Song Ci’s hand, saying, ”I still say, the marriage was well-arranged. The sons of the Song Family are all excellent. I hope these family bonds continue for generations, and perhaps make another match.”

The probing was quite obvious!

Madam of the Song Family lost her smile, feeling a bit annoyed. Is Mother going overboard?

She instinctively looked at Song Ci, who was full of smiles, saying, ”The daughters of the Gu Family are sought after by many families. Where the flower falls depends on destiny and how the old god of matchmaking ties the thread. Marriage is determined by fate, wouldn’t you agree?”

Could Madam Gu not agree?

Of course not, she smiled at Song Ci, but internally mused that since falling seriously ill, this mother-in-law seemed to have become sharper. Could it be that she was feigning depth before?

Shao Yao came in and reported, ”Madam, it’s the auspicious time to preside over the Three-Day Wash ceremony.”

Song Ci immediately took Madam Gu’s hand and went out together.

The room quieted down, Madam of the Song Family lay down, closed her eyes for rest, but her mind was occupied with Mother’s probing and private thoughts, only sighing after a long time.

A daughter married out is certainly different from sons staying at home.

At the Three-Day Wash ceremony, there was a crowd watching, even Song Lingzhao squeezed in among them to watch the commotion.

Song Lingzhao naturally had personal intentions, wanting to see this newborn little cousin brother before leaving. But seeing the thin, small, red-faced, slightly flat-headed monkey-like baby, he felt an indescribable pain.

They all said Auntie almost gave her life to give birth, was it truly so difficult?

This is just the birth of one child, so what did Mother endure to give birth to the two of them?

Song Lingzhao looked at Jiang Shi among the crowd, his eyes inexplicably warmed, feeling a bit sour.

The twin connection is truly wonderful, as Song Lingzhao’s emotions quickly spread to Song Lingjie. He glanced at his brother, then at the small monkey in the midwife’s arms, and finally looked at Jiang Shi with gentle eyes.

Jiang Shi seemed to feel something, looked over, raised her brows, and gestured towards the door, indicating that the place was full of young wives and wondering why these young men were there stirring up trouble.

Get out quickly!
