Madam Song did not expect Song Zhiyuan to be so agreeable, simply saying no and dropping the matter.
Though a bit surprised, she was nevertheless relieved.
She truly feared that Song Zhiyuan would stubbornly promise Song Ruqi to a poor family's scholar. At that point, it wouldn't be a question of willingness; it would be about whether Qi'er would even get on the bridal sedan.
Even if Qi'er were to comply out of filial obedience, would she not be compared to her elder sister's marriage? Among sisters, the greatest fear is comparing husbands and children.
Madam Song understood this very well; among her sisters, who hadn't made comparisons?
Alas.
Nanny Fang handed a cup of longan tea to Madam Song and said, "Madam, don't overthink it. You should get some rest. Since the Prime Minister has decided, he won't change his mind, so relax."
