Jiang patted the back of Song Mingli's hand and said, "Mother wants to advise you to be virtuous and considerate of your husband. I want to advise you..."

Before he finished speaking, Jiang himself let out a long sigh.

"But now, mother has understood! Advising you like that was actually harming you!"

"You only have one life to live, so live as well as you can within your ability! Do as much as you want to do!"

“This is a life that has not been lived in vain!”

As Jiang spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.

Thinking back to when my daughter was well-behaved and obedient, always thinking of others and always sacrificing herself...

She hated herself for raising her daughter "too well", making her too obedient and selfless.

Song Mingli smiled and hugged Jiang's shoulders.

"Don't worry, mother. I now know that one must take good care of oneself so that one can have the energy to take care of the person one wants to take care of the most."

Although, it took her two lifetimes to understand this truth.

But fortunately, God had mercy on her and gave her a chance to start over.

"Second brother is back, so shouldn't we put his marriage on the agenda?" Song Mingli changed the subject away from himself.

Jiang smiled and said, "Yes, your eldest brother and I have already discussed it. We plan to invite a matchmaker to go to Duke Qin's mansion."

"I'm afraid the Duke's wife is still reluctant to let her daughter get married. After all, she has been nagging about it for so long, and it was not easy to get her daughter back."

"Zhen'er is still young, so it's understandable that she wants to stay for two more years."

Song Mingli nodded, "But we need to let Duke Qin know our attitude."

"That's right." Jiang smiled and sighed, "Your eldest brother should have been married first, but after the Han family broke off the engagement, he refused to mention it again."

"The Han family girl is already married, isn't he..."

"No!" Song Mingli said immediately and firmly.

"Brother definitely doesn't have any feelings for Miss Han! Mother, please don't think of me like that!"

"My eldest brother is not interested in this. He has his own plans. Don't worry about him, mother."

Fortunately, Jiang listened to the advice.

She nodded, "You're right, your eldest brother is a promising man, I won't cause him any trouble."

Song Mingli nodded heavily.

The three of them stayed at the Song family until they had dinner again before leaving.

Jingyou formed an alliance with his father and fought with his two uncles, and the fight was very exciting.

After lunch, he refused to even take a nap and insisted on dragging his two uncles to compete in horse riding and archery.

His father dotes on him, and his two uncles dote on him even more.

I really do whatever he wants.

He was a child after all, and on the carriage back to the palace, he leaned against his father's arms and fell asleep.

"When this child fights, his fists are so hard, but when he sleeps, he is also so small and soft."

Chu Yanchen's heart was melted by his own son.

He held his son in his arms, unwilling to let him go.

"Your Highness' arms must be numb from carrying him all the way home. Just put them on the soft pillow." Song Mingli whispered.

“It’s not numb,” Chu Yanchen’s expression was so soft that he didn’t even look like the mighty war god. “He’s small, soft, and fragrant. I feel comfortable hugging him.”

Song Mingli: ...

The child is sweating all over after playing, how can he smell good?

Even if the prince loves his son, he wouldn't lie with his eyes open, right?

As soon as the thought came to his mind, Chu Yanchen lowered his head and gently rubbed Jingyou's forehead and cheek.

That expression was as gentle as the spring water in April, warm and soft.

"When I look at him, I always have a special and strange feeling, as if I can see my childhood self through him..."

"There will be a special, irresistible sense of closeness."

"Don't worry, when he grows up, I will let him experience well and I won't be reluctant to let him suffer."

"The days of childhood are precious, but they pass by in a flash. I have already missed six years, and I don't want to miss more, leaving regrets in my old age."

Chu Yanchen spoke seriously, his eyes were heavy, and one could vaguely see the guilt in his eyes.

Song Mingli nodded...It is said that "a loving mother often spoils her child."

If he were placed in Prince Jing's mansion, he would probably have to be on guard against the "kind father spoiling his son".

*

A few days after Song Mingli got married, the Song family had already invited a matchmaker to go to the Duke of Qin's mansion to propose marriage.

Unexpectedly, before the matchmaker they hired came back to report the news, another matchmaker came to the Song family.

The matchmaker looked somewhat arrogant, and he didn't seem like he was here to propose marriage, but rather to give them alms.

Song Yanzhou was a low-key person, and he didn't show any displeasure when seeing this. He still invited the person into the flower hall and asked the servants to serve tea.

"General Song is gone. An elder brother is like a father. It is more appropriate to talk to Young Master Song about this matter."

The matchmaker took a sip of tea and said, "I was asked by someone to come and propose marriage to our second young master! The girl in this family is first-rate in Kyoto in terms of appearance and talent!"

"If you miss this village, you will never find such a good girl again!"

The matchmaker smiled smugly and glanced at Song Yanzhou's face.

Song Yanzhou frowned. Who hired this matchmaker?

But no matter how I think about it...it can't be the Duke Qin's Mansion.

Duke Qin's Mansion will just wait for them to come. After all, Zhao Yezhen is still young, so there is no rush.

What's more, she had just been recognized and the Duke's wife was reluctant to let her get married.

In that case, there is no need to wait for the matchmaker to continue speaking.

So as to avoid embarrassing the other person after you say it.

Thinking of this, Song Yanzhou directly refused, "Thank you for your kindness, but it's not necessary. My second brother still needs to be tempered. Now his temperament is immature, it's not the time for him to get married."

"Cough cough cough..."

Song Yanzhou refused right away, which surprised the matchmaker.

"You haven't even asked yet, which girl is she?" the matchmaker frowned.

Song Yanzhou smiled slightly, "Since my family has no such intention, there is no need to ask, so as not to affect the reputation of the girl."

He meant well, but the matchmaker got angry.

She glared at him, "After all, he's just my brother, not my father or mother!"

"Is Madam Song at home? Please come out and talk to her!"

Song Yanzhou's face also turned cold, "No need to ask my mother to come out, please go back."

If I go on any further, things will get worse.

The matchmaker was not willing to accept this.

Before she came, she had promised the Xu family.

And...she glanced at Song Yanzhou.

"Young Master Song hasn't even started a family yet, so you don't have the final say on this matter."

"Who knows if it's because you haven't started a family yet that you don't want your brother to start a family first and be laughed at by outsiders."

"This is a big marriage, it's the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. If you know the etiquette and are the eldest brother, don't stop it. Ask Madam Song to come out!"

As soon as the matchmaker arrived, Jiang had already received the news.

She basically doesn't care about other things in the mansion, but she can't just sit there and do nothing when it comes to her children's marriages.

So, Jiang family has already come here.

When she got to the door, she just heard Song Yanzhou shouting "Show him out".

Judging from the tone of both parties, they seemed unhappy.

Jiang was wondering, even if the marriage failed, it wouldn't lead to enmity, right?

Why is the boss so angry?

Jiang stepped into the flower hall.

When the matchmaker saw Jiang coming, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh, Madam Song, you are finally here!"

"The marriage of their children must be decided by their parents!" the matchmaker said anxiously, "This girl is first-rate!"

"She is very talented and good-looking, has a good family background, and is well-mannered. She is a perfect match for our Song family boy!"

Before Jiang even had the chance to say a few polite words, the matchmaker couldn't wait to flatter her.

Jiang:...

How much do you hate getting married?
