Chapter 279: Neither Deaf nor Mute, Not Playing the Family Head
It’s not that Song Ci looks down on Madam Lu, but in this era, the powerful taking concubines is as common as flowers blooming in spring; hardly anyone stays loyal to just one person till the end.
So speaking of the Song Family, they’re quite an oddity in this regard among the nobility, apart from the old master who lacks respect for his age, the men of this Song second generation have been married for years, and which of them hasn’t remained loyal to their official wives?
But now, this family’s also following the trend, with another addition to the flower pot.
Hmm, that never-before-seen third son truly resembles his father Song Bai Mianbao, thoroughly inheriting his philandering ways.
Ahem, I digress.
Madam Lu, years ago, had gone through countless twists and turns with Song Zhiqing before their marriage, and all these years, the couple has been deeply in love, with a pair of children, and she became an Imperial Decree Madam. It’s been smooth sailing.
She has affection for Song Zhiqing, and life has grown increasingly pleasant. As Song Zhiyuan rises in status, the standing of the Song Family soars as well. When she goes outside, who doesn’t give her a respectful glance?
Would she easily give up the comfort she has tirelessly attained over the years?
Impossible.
Madam Lu wouldn’t hand over her hard-earned enjoyable life, and most importantly, she doesn’t have her maiden family; leaving Song Zhiqing, where in this vast world could she find refuge?
