The Valued Lady is Truly Dominant

Chapter 1048: Chapter 1048: Sun Exposure Again and Again

Madam Wen was nearly driven to anger, seeing Wen Zishan’s indifferent demeanor, almost unable to control herself.

What exactly is she trying to do? Is she crazy?

Just as Madam Wen was about to take the irrational daughter with her to change clothes, Consort Zhou spoke again.

”When it comes to a harmonious and loving couple, it is Madam Song who makes others envious the most.” Consort Zhou looked at Madam with a hint of envy and said, ”You and the Prime Minister are famously loving in the Beijing Circle, a lifelong bond of one couple, and now with a son added to the family, achieving a perfect pair, it truly makes people envious.”

The envy expressed was not fake, and Madam felt a bit of pride but still remembered her identity, so she smiled and said, ”Young couples grow old together. All couples in the world walk through ups and downs together. Even the Prime Minister and I cannot avoid common struggles, but we understand and accommodate each other, supporting one another through it all.”

Having said this, Madam also felt a bit emotional herself.

She and Song Zhiyuan have been married for twenty years. As the eldest sister-in-law, she holds high ambitions, never wanting other sisters to look down on her, and has devoted much effort to the Song Family.

In those years, Song Ci was not as easygoing as now, having a strong personality. Although they weren’t like fire and water, mutual complaints in their hearts were inevitable.

The only benefit was that Song Ci never gave her trouble about having children, never adding anyone to her household, and Song Zhiyuan also remained faithful, which was indeed her greatest fortune.

Consort Zhou smiled and said, ”That’s true, so I always say I have much to learn from you, Madam.”

While talking, a palace maid came in and reported a few words.

Consort Zhou smiled at a few people and said, ”This visit to Songshan Temple, besides lighting peace lanterns for the Prince and the young master, had another purpose. Seeing that the Longevity Festival for the emperor is approaching, I personally embroidered a Peace Scripture, which I just had the abbot bless to present it to the emperor, for eternal longevity!”

”The Princess is truly filial,” Madam Song and Madam Wen praised with a smile.

Wen Zishan, however, paused, remembering her previous double embroidery work, her brows slightly knitted.

”With this Peace Scripture blessed, I can’t sit still anymore; I will rush back to the manor. If I don’t see my child for a day, I get anxious, and there are many affairs in the manor to manage,” Consort Zhou lightly smiled and glanced at Wen Zishan, saying, ”Originally, I could rely on Consort Bai to help manage things, but unfortunately, she offended the young master, and the Prince was so angry that he restricted her movement.”

”The Prince’s deep love for his son is astonishing,” Madam gave an awkward chuckle.

Consort Zhou: ”Madam, please don’t laugh at this. After all, the young master is our only son, hard-won and cherished inevitably, even Lady Shu often summons us to the palace to see the young master to put her mind at ease, repeatedly instructing that no concubines or consorts in the manor should intrude upon him.”

Wen Zishan couldn’t help but want to speak, but Madam Wen, quick-eyed and prompt, held her hand, casting a sidelong glance of warning.

Consort Zhou noticed and asked with a smile, ”Does Miss Wen have something to say?”

Wen Zishan forced a smile, ”I apologize for being laughed at by the Princess. I drank too much tea and need to change clothes.”

”Ah, then please go ahead. I, too, must return to the manor,” Consort Zhou stood up as well.

Upon hearing this, everyone else stood up too.

Consort Zhou nodded slightly to Madam Song and others, and then, surrounded by guards and palace maids, she left without sparing even a glance for Wen Zishan.
