Chapter 167: Unwilling for Daughter to Marry into a Poor Family
Madam Song’s heart stopped for a moment, her mouth froze, and she asked without thinking, "A scholar from a poor family? Who is it? Has the Prime Minister already decided?"
As soon as the words left her mouth, she felt her tone was too sharp and questioning and quickly corrected herself, "Prime Minister, my intention is to ask if you have already made up your mind?"
"Not yet. But I see that Madam is not willing to choose a poor scholar as a son-in-law." Song Zhiyuan’s voice was calm.
Madam Song pulled at the corners of her mouth, explaining, "Prime Minister, you should know Qi’er’s temperament; she has always been strong-willed, never admitting defeat, and has high standards. If you let her marry a poor scholar, how would she agree? Even her elder sister married into an established family; why would she be willing?"
"She is unwilling, but what about Madam?"
Madam Song pressed her lips together and thought for a long while before replying, "If the Prime Minister wants the truth, then my answer is that I am unwilling."
