"Mother-in-law, I really failed to greet you properly."
Song Ci ca in, smiling as he greeted Madam Gu.
Madam Gu held her hand and said, "I’ve not visited for a long ti, it should be who visits you first. I’ve been so worried about Xiangyi that I forgot my manners. Please forgive this ti, dear mother-in-law."
Song Ci replied, "We are family, why talk of forgiveness? That would put in a difficult position. The Gu Family has long been looking forward to your visit, and now that you’re here, I might take up your ti and chat with you, which might make her bla as an inconsiderate mother-in-law."
Madam Gu, smiling widely, said, "You have always been considerate of your daughters-in-law. Xiangyi is fortunate to have married into the Song Family. Looking back, it seems this marriage was truly the right choice. Dear mother-in-law, I’ve heard about the dangers of the childbirth this ti. It truly scared half to death. If it weren’t for you, she and the child wouldn’t be safe. Otherwise, I’m afraid..."
As she spoke, she dabbed the corner of her eyes with a handkerchief.
Song Ci hurriedly comforted her, saying, "That’s all in the past. Let’s not talk about it anymore lest we get sad again. She is my daughter-in-law and a contributor to the Song Family. I will protect her. You see, she’s overco the hurdle, and good fortune awaits."
"Yes, indeed." Madam Gu smiled with a face full of lines, holding Song Ci’s hand, saying, "I still say, the marriage was well-arranged. The sons of the Song Family are all excellent. I hope these family bonds continue for generations, and perhaps make another match."
The probing was quite obvious!
Madam of the Song Family lost her smile, feeling a bit annoyed. Is Mother going overboard?
She instinctively looked at Song Ci, who was full of smiles, saying, "The daughters of the Gu Family are sought after by many families. Where the flower falls depends on destiny and how the old god of matchmaking ties the thread. Marriage is determined by fate, wouldn’t you agree?"
Could Madam Gu not agree?
Of course not, she smiled at Song Ci, but internally mused that since falling seriously ill, this mother-in-law seed to have beco sharper. Could it be that she was feigning depth before?
Shao Yao ca in and reported, "Madam, it’s the auspicious ti to preside over the Three-Day Wash ceremony."
Song Ci imdiately took Madam Gu’s hand and went out together.
The room quieted down, Madam of the Song Family lay down, closed her eyes for rest, but her mind was occupied with Mother’s probing and private thoughts, only sighing after a long ti.
A daughter married out is certainly different from sons staying at ho.
At the Three-Day Wash ceremony, there was a crowd watching, even Song Lingzhao squeezed in among them to watch the commotion.
Song Lingzhao naturally had personal intentions, wanting to see this newborn little cousin brother before leaving. But seeing the thin, small, red-faced, slightly flat-headed monkey-like baby, he felt an indescribable pain.
They all said Auntie almost gave her life to give birth, was it truly so difficult?
This is just the birth of one child, so what did Mother endure to give birth to the two of them?
Song Lingzhao looked at Jiang Shi among the crowd, his eyes inexplicably ward, feeling a bit sour.
The twin connection is truly wonderful, as Song Lingzhao’s emotions quickly spread to Song Lingjie. He glanced at his brother, then at the small monkey in the midwife’s arms, and finally looked at Jiang Shi with gentle eyes.
Jiang Shi seed to feel sothing, looked over, raised her brows, and gestured towards the door, indicating that the place was full of young wives and wondering why these young n were there stirring up trouble.
Get out quickly!
