Chapter 13: The Etiquette of Wealthy Families
After the reward was given, everyone, young and old, cheerfully moved to the small flower hall for breakfast.
Song Ci walked into the flower hall with her two daughters-in-law on either side, only to be met with a strong scent of sandalwood that almost made her sneeze, causing her to pause.
"Mother, what's the matter?" Madam Song, seeing her stand still, asked with concern.
Mrs. Song was more direct: "Are you tired from walking? Shall I carry you inside?"
Carry her? Carry her?
Song Ci almost thought she had misheard, turning her head to look at her: "You, carry me?"
Mrs. Song laughed heartily: "Mother, have you forgotten? I've been practicing martial arts for years; I have the strength to carry you." As she spoke, she got into position, ready to lift the petite Song Ci.
Song Ci quickly said, "No need, I don't require it."
Indeed, this daughter-in-law was a merchant's daughter, and because she used to travel with her father on business, which was risky, the Jiang Family specifically hired a martial arts master to teach her. Not only her, but also several maids and old women around Jiang had some martial arts skills.
