Chapter 137: Wretched Girl, How Dare You!
Song Zhiyuan’s voice was soft and calm, yet his words were powerful, leaving Madam Song chilled to the bone.
"Once our daughter becomes a Prince Consort, even if I openly declare that I won’t take sides, do you think outsiders will believe it? Will those above believe it?" Song Zhiyuan’s fingers pointed upwards.
Madam Song’s smile was somewhat stiff: "Surely, it’s not that serious."
"Madam, even if we step back and send Qi’er in, and she manages to win in the end, do you think, with her temperament, she can prevail against so many women in the Imperial Palace?" Song Zhiyuan sighed, "I understand Qi’er’s character too well, it’s just like yours—always striving to excel. But she grew up pampered, at home it doesn’t matter, we indulge her. But once married, especially into a den of tigers, it’s not about indulgence, it’s about survival."
"She is my daughter, her status is prestigious enough, compared to an unpredictable future, I would rather her live in peace and prosperity, with harmony throughout her life."
This was truly from the bottom of Song Zhiyuan’s heart.
Although he had thought about whether the Song Family could reach a high status, he remained hesitant, and after speaking with Song Ci, he became more resolute in his belief.
The elder had spoken wisely, the foundation of the Song Family was not yet stable, so it shouldn’t gamble on what is unpredictable, lest they lose their daughter and the family’s honor as well.
