Chapter 268 Success
Song Ci wanted to meet someone, but instead of using his own name, he used his son’s name and had someone bring him to the second gate, then arranged for a beautiful maid to stage an accident.
Madam Wei cast a glance at this old sister, wondering how she became such a lively old child after falling ill.
Staging an accident, how clever of her to think of that.
But it was thanks to this staged accident that she managed to see that Yan Scholar indeed had an upright character, and he was truly good-looking. Although he couldn’t compare to that Wei, his gentle scholarly aura was very pleasing to the eye.
The more Madam Wei looked, the more satisfied she was.
The only pity was his poor family background. But then she thought, if he came from a high family, it wouldn’t be Man’er’s turn.
Song Ci had a very good point; many of the official family proposals they received were from unworthy illegitimate sons or ruined families. Genuine legitimate sons or promising ones simply weren’t proposed.
There’s no other way, who asked for Man’er to be an orphan girl without a family?
Madam Wei watched as Yan Scholar fled in a panic, satisfied and smiling, just about to speak when the old sister began to talk.
"Quite handsome, and a good build. Seems like he’s a strong man and not one of those scholars who can’t even lift a finger, he’s likely done physical labor before. That’s very good, he can surely carry the bride."
