The Valued Lady is Truly Dominant

Chapter 1282: Underestimating Her

"Who would’ve thought Princess Consort Ji is such a tough person." Song Ci sighed as she listened to the palace news.She truly underestimated Dowager Ji, for her to go this far. While the palace bricks may not be entirely made of gold and jade, they are made of solid stone. To slam down heavily, the scene...

She couldn’t imagine; just thinking about it gave her a headache.

"As a mother, her heart is devoted to her children. Prince Min is her only reliance in this life. Now, not only is he imprisoned, but also suddenly poisoned. How could she not be worried? Even if she had to risk her life, she hopes to ensure a lifetime of peace for him." Nanny was not surprised by Princess Consort Ji’s actions.

As she spoke, she took advantage of Su’er not paying attention to take away the golden plum blossom ingot he was playing with, to prevent him from putting it in his mouth and swallowing it.

But unexpectedly, as soon as it was taken away, Su’er turned his head, first glancing at the place where the gold ingot was originally placed. The golden little flower had vanished, and he immediately pouted his mouth, looking at Song Ci.

Song Ci raised her hand and opened it, "It wasn’t me, it was your Nanny who did it."

Su’er understood and looked at Nanny, his big black eyes just staring at her with a pitiful look, making one feel incredibly heartache.

Nanny’s heart melted, but she still patiently said, "Su’er, this little thing can’t be given to you. If you swallow it, that would be disastrous."

"Ayaya." Su’er wobbled his bottom, reached out his hand, and seeing she wouldn’t give it to him, crawled over to grab her hand, found the small gold ingot being held, and happily clapped his hands and shouted.

Nanny kept her eyes on him, scolding gently, "You little rascal."

Song Ci was even more delighted, saying, "Our Su’er is truly clever. It seems the medicinal bath has its benefits; this cleverness isn’t something ordinary children can compare to."

Nanny laughed and said, "Didn’t Master Buhui also mention that this child has great wisdom and will develop intelligence early."

Song Ci snorted, "He wants to take our child away, surely he’s full of sweet talk." She paused and added, "But seeing him now, so white, chubby, and healthy, who would have thought he was so weak and frail at birth."

Nanny smiled without speaking.

"It goes to show, no matter how unattractive a child may be at birth, don’t scorn them. Just look at him now, akin to a little celestial being beneath the Bodhisattva, just like our Su’er." Song Ci smiled as she stroked his tender tofu-like cheeks.

"No one scorns them, except you do."

Song Ci snorted lightly; his mother did scorn him quite a bit, but during the New Year’s celebrations, it’s best not to dwell on unpleasant matters.

Fortunately, she didn’t speak of it. Just as she thought of Madam Song, she arrived, full of joy.

"Mother." Madam Song made a bow to Song Ci, smiling as she said, "I approached Master Buhui to check the almanac for Su’er’s matters. The twenty-third of January is a perfect day. How about exchanging marriage contracts with the Guan Family on this day?"

"To pick a date, you had to trouble Master Buhui?"

Madam Song smiled and said, "The master is a revered monk, and since he’s conveniently staying at our mansion, I took the liberty to ask him. The date he determined is surely an excellent day where everything will go smoothly."

With these words, Song Ci had nothing more to add, only saying, "In this case, send someone to deliver the good date to the Guan Family. It also shows our sincerity."

"Alright."

"Furthermore, Master Buhui is set to depart on the tenth. Prepare a generous farewell gift. Don’t prepare flashy but useless things; ensure there’s plenty of gold and silver, and prepare several vats of wine. This monk has a taste for practicality."
