Chapter 626: Chapter 313 Offspring_2

Qian Yixiu and Prince Consort Pan both laughed, Pan Yue was indeed much smarter now.

That evening, all the men of the Pan family had returned, and they had dinner together again. Old Master Pan was extremely happy and said, "It’s good that Yueyue remembers the past; the thorn in the Empress Dowager’s heart can finally be removed..."

He also heaped praise on Sean, saying he was a scholarly genius with profound knowledge—a language prodigy. In Daqian for just over a year, Sean spoke the language of Daqian remarkably well and had no problems teaching students. Especially his arithmetic teaching was extremely practical. If it were to be popularized in Daqian, it would be a significant revolution in the history of Daqian’s mathematics...

Of course, Qian Yixiu was also commended for being so far-sighted at her young age and for finding such a talented person for Songpan Academy.

After dinner, Qian Manjiang took his wife and child back home. Before leaving, Prince Consort Pan said to Qian Manjiang again, "Yueyue is extremely talented; you also need to work hard and be worthy of my outstanding daughter." This was something the Prince Consort Pan had said many times before.

Qian Manjiang bowed quickly and said, "Your son-in-law has always been diligent in his studies and practices his writing without any slackness."

Qian Yixiu chuckled to herself, the hardest work Father Jiang ever did was to woo Mother Duo, and the most diligent thing he did was helping Prince Ning in secret.

As for the words that Old Master Pan said, he agreed faster than anyone else and forgot them as soon as he turned around.

Qian Yixiu also approved of Father Jiang’s approach. Father Jiang was already of such an age and a military officer; what use was great talent to him? Talent was also a matter of genetics. The people of the Old Qian family excelled in business, speculation, and taking risks, but talent was the one thing they did not have the genes for. They could only wait for Mingming and Jingjing, heirs to the Pan family bloodline, to grow up and cultivate their talents, perhaps then they could have some.

Back at the mansion, they learned that Li Ahcai had come, bringing many things for Qian Ergui’s family and Lady Tang. Lady Wu muttered to Qian Sangui in private, "If it weren’t for the sake of Manhe and Yueyue, I would really want to throw that evil witch Tang’s things into the sewage ditch."

The next morning, Qian Manjiang took Zhang Yang to say their farewells at the Liang Mansion, asking if there was anything they could take to the Song family of Xizhou Mansion for them.

Old Lady Song had passed away two months ago, and Old Master Song had returned to Xizhoufu to observe mourning, even Madam Liang, Song, took Liang Jinyu back with her.

Because of the relationship forged through Zhang Zhongkun and his son’s medical treatment of Liang Jinzhao, the Liang family had a very good relationship with the Zhang family. Old Duke Liang received Qian Manjiang and Zhang Yang in the outer study, saying that they would definitely trouble them to bring some items and letters to the Song Mansion. He also invited Zhang Yang to the back courtyard to take Old Queen Grandma’s pulse again. The medical skills of the Zhang family, in some aspects, were even more exquisite than those of the Imperial Physician.

Old Lady Liang had miraculously pulled through and was now reclining on a Luohan bed in the west side room, joking with the younger generation. Because of the passing of Madam Song’s mother, the women of the main family were dressed quite plainly.

Lady Cui was also there, wearing a light blue embroidered satin jacket with only a white jade plum blossom hairpin in her hair, her face lightly made up. Although her mouth bore a smile, she didn’t seem part of the lively atmosphere. She watched others ingratiatingly fawning over Old Queen Grandma, only rarely managing to say a word, her expression lonely.

She was still thinking about her son, that little adversary who caused her chest pain night after night, but he was also the one she thought of the most. Now she saw clearly: however loving a husband might be, the moment it involved family honor or an elder’s command, he would turn his face immediately.

Her maternal family was even less reliable. Didn’t the old saying go, ’A married daughter is like spilled water’? But her own maternal family was even more heartless. Not only did they spill her out, they also stabbed her with a knife.

And her daughter Jinyu, the family was currently discussing her betrothal with the Eldest Taifeng Princess Mansion. Once married, she would belong to another household.

Only her son could be her lifelong support.

The last time they argued, she did regret it. Her son only came back once every ten days, and it ended unpleasantly. Later, her son came to see her again, trying his best to avoid arguing with her. But even then, he hinted broadly that the Qian family’s young miss was exceptionally good, hoping she could genuinely accept the girl. In fact, she knew well that even if she did not agree, the elders would try their hardest to make the match happen. But she really couldn’t fulfill her son’s wish to accept her in her heart. Yet seeing her son growing older and deeply wounded by love, it pained her heart.

The potential daughters-in-law she had approved of were out of the question now. Prince Shou’s Jingchang was already betrothed to a young man from the Zhao family. Huang Lingling from the Eldest Taifeng Princess Mansion, because of the marriage arrangement with Jinyu from the Liang family, couldn’t possibly marry into the Liang family anymore. And the Yue family’s sixth daughter had been indirectly refused by her son...
