Song Zhiyuan really admired his mother's idea; she even dared to think about Commandery Princess Dongyang as a match. She was truly bold!
"Mother, is it possible that you're being so enthusiastic about her just because of this?"
"How could that be? I purely want her in our family because I like her. What a wonderful girl, a living Hua Mulan with a cheerful and generous nature; she's exactly to my liking." Song Ci said, "Actually, it was just a fleeting thought. After all, your brother doesn't really have anything to match her."
Song Zhiyuan: "You better not let him hear that, or else he'll start complaining he's not your own son again."
Song Ci was indifferent: "Let him hear it then. It's good for him to know the harsh reality. Without you as his exceptional older brother, who would even pay attention to him? He has so many demands for a wife. Just look at how spoiled he is!"
Song Zhiyuan laughed out loud, his worries somewhat dissipating.
