The Valued Lady is Truly Dominant

Chapter 45: Chapter 45: Quick to Respond

Wu Dan was a bit uneasy, frequently glancing towards the direction of the main house, uncertain if her wishes would be fulfilled.

Just as she was feeling anxious, a few maidservants walked over. Seeing the nanny leading them with perfectly styled hair, her heart skipped a few beats.

"Lady Peony?" Nanny Gong stood in front of her, her voice gentle: "Our esteemed Madam requests your presence."

Wu Dan swallowed: "I..."

"Escort Lady Peony to the floral hall." Nanny Gong stepped back, slightly tilting her head towards two sturdy maidservants.

Wu Dan’s pupils contracted slightly. With the ’escort’ from the two maidservants at her sides, she moved towards the floral hall.

...

Old Master Song felt a bit ashamed.

He didn’t expect Song Ci to contradict him like this in front of their son and daughter-in-law. This old woman didn’t care about his dignity at all.

"You have so much to say about taking a concubine, it’s not like it’s the first time." Old Master Song snorted with a dark face.

Song Ci chuckled: "Indeed, it’s not the first time you took concubines. There are still two lovely young women in the house, and before that, there was the one who bore you a pair of offspring. So, this isn’t exactly the jealousy of the seven forms, isn’t it."

Old Master Song paused, his smile dampening a bit, pursing his lips slightly.

Madam Lu’s heart also skipped a beat, instinctively looking at Song Ci.

Seeing Song Ci looking at her father-in-law, her gaze was calm and indifferent as if discussing someone else’s affairs, light and dispassionate.

Song Zhiyuan’s eyes deepened slightly as he picked up his teacup and took a sip, his fingers silently tapping the cup.

Song Ci seemed a bit surprised, no, what kind of expression is this old man giving?

It looked as though she had struck a chord with him.

Nanny Gong walked in quietly and said, "Madam, the person has been brought."

Song Ci sat up straight, looking at the person who came in, then glanced at Old Master Song.

Wu Dan saw the people in the room and grew increasingly nervous, especially when she met Prime Minister Song’s sweeping gaze, her face went pale, and she shuddered.

So terrifying, she seemed to have underestimated.

"Pay, pay respect to the esteemed Madam, Old Master." Wu Dan prostrated on the ground tremblingly.

"Rise." Old Master Song looked at her trembling, somewhat panicked appearance and felt a bit of pity, especially when he thought of her softness and fragrance, he almost stood up to help her.

Cough!

Old Master Song’s hand paused, he glanced at his old wife, and sat back down.

Song Ci looked at Wu Dan kneeling on the ground and didn’t think it was wrong for a young woman to want to seduce an old man for wealth and prosperity. This was not uncommon nowadays, especially in the entertainment industry’s big muddy pool.

Unfortunately, it was not acceptable here.

The Song Family could support a hundred Wu Dans, as long as she behaved and didn’t have too many ambitions.

"Dalong, you all may leave first." Song Ci said indifferently.

Song Zhiyuan and the others were slightly stunned, but quickly understood Song Ci’s intention, it was to save some face for the old man, and they left after paying respects.

Kneeling on the ground, Wu Dan became even more flustered, subconsciously raising her head to look at Old Master Song with a wistful gaze.

"No need to look at him, he still doesn’t have the final say in this house. Regarding the matter of taking a concubine, as the official wife, without my approval, he cannot bring you in, even if he does, if I refuse to drink the tea you offer, you are not considered a true concubine. A concubine who fails to gain the mistress’s acknowledgment will not be respected wherever she goes."

Wu Dan’s heart sank: "Ma, Madam, I am already Old Master’s person..."

Song Ci nearly spat out her tea, her gaze sharply drifting to the fat old man beside her.

Oh, so quick to take action.

No wonder he’s all bold about promoting a second house, probably whispered to on the pillow.

Old Master Song guiltily looked elsewhere, feeling like the old lady could see through his thoughts!
