As a princess who married a general and was able to keep the general in line, Gu Yanran naturally had her own set of life principles, which applied to both her husband and her son.

Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. As long as people are happy and it doesn't affect the General's Mansion, Gu Yanran has no intention of finding fault with her future daughter-in-law. As long as the young couple is happy and their lives are going well, and as long as her future daughter-in-law doesn't have any major problems, Gu Yanran doesn't mind. If she doesn't like a certain personality trait, she'll just avoid seeing her.

So when Gu Yanran heard that Song's mother was ill, she still insisted on studying medicine. In her opinion, this was the tenacity of not giving up on herself in desperate situations. She was able to make an effective skin cream in a short time after studying medicine, which showed that she was intelligent and had a strong learning ability.

Ignoring everything else, just these two points alone made Gu Yanran feel very favorable towards this Miss Song.

"Miss Song is intelligent, and Mrs. Song is truly blessed."

Gu Yanran sincerely praised her.

Song's mother's eyes crinkled with laughter at the praise.

"Your Highness is too kind. It's just a small trinket. If Your Highness likes it, I also have a set of ointments that Qingqing has made and is still unopened. You can take it back and apply it once every night after your bath."

"Thank you so much, Mrs. Song and Miss Song."

Gu Yanran thanked him calmly, but suddenly her eyes changed and she looked at Madam Song with a hint of worry and expectation: "Madam Song, I'm not here to say any more evasive things. I have something to discuss with you."

Seeing this scene, Song's mother suddenly felt a knot in her heart, a sense of foreboding rising within her.

"What could a princess possibly need from a commoner like me?"

Song's mother asked in surprise and doubt.

Gu Yanran feigned a worried expression, but inwardly she was secretly admiring Madam Song's wisdom.

Although the Song family doesn't have a large family network, with the lady of the house being so intelligent, this family is destined for great things. I heard that the second son of the Song family is this year's top scholar in the provincial examination, so it seems that the Song family's future is very bright.

A series of thoughts raced through Gu Yanran's mind.

When dealing with the Song family, who are so intelligent and genuinely love their daughter, she doesn't need to clearly explain the usual benefits; what she should emphasize is her sincere goodwill and honesty towards their daughter.

"Madam Song, I have come today to propose marriage to Miss Song on behalf of my son."

Song's mother: "..."

His expression changed drastically, but he still tried to appear calm and wary as he looked at Gu Yanran.

Gu Yanran glanced at Song's mother's face and sighed inwardly. The Song family truly cared for their child. To be honest, although Gu Yanran didn't mind Miss Song's situation, Miss Song was indeed not a good match for her son now that she was divorced and had a child.

The fact that Song's mother doesn't even approve of her own son clearly shows that she doesn't value family background but simply wants to be good to Miss Song.

Gu Yanran had to admit that this idea was a misunderstanding.

When Song's mother first divorced Qingyin and saw Shen Du causing a scene at the Liu residence for her daughter, she naturally considered Shen Du's situation.

But after Qingyin recovered, her appearance became more and more beautiful. Now she has reached a level of beauty that no one in the world can compare to. Naturally, Song's mother's "appetite" has grown because of her daughter's stunning beauty.

To put it simply, Song's mother felt that no man in the world was good enough for her daughter.

Gu Yanran observed Song's mother's expression and sincerely spoke of her son's virtues: "Madam Song, I won't lie to you, my son Adu has liked Miss Song since he was little... Miss Song originally married Liu Zhi, and I thought he had given up on that idea. I didn't expect that after Miss Song's accident, he would foolishly find out the situation and tell his uncle, the Emperor, and even promised to pacify the northern border. That's how the imperial decree was issued to the Liu family. I only found out about this later, otherwise... sigh, I mind this matter. I just don't know if this child's situation has made you dislike him?"

Song's mother: "!!!"

This imperial edict was actually obtained by Shen Du through a single battle.

Song's mother was shocked.

How could they possibly dislike her? She wished she could worship Shen Du.

This child did an excellent job! That's the order, we still need to rely on this child to fight, in case something unexpected happens during the battle.

Madam Song frowned. "I truly thank Young Master Shen for this, but I'm worried that if he encounters anything on the battlefield..."

Gu Yanran interrupted Song's mother, and after seeing the genuine concern for Shen Du clearly in Song's mother's eyes, Gu Yanran's last bit of resentment towards her son for foolishly exchanging a battle for an imperial decree disappeared.

Gu Yanran shook her head. "Shen Du is from a military family. It was his own choice. Whether he is safe or not, I will not implicate others because of this. Besides, that child is much luckier than Madam imagines."

At this point, Gu Yanran winked playfully, easing the somewhat tense atmosphere.

"This was something that A-Du originally wanted to keep to himself, but I didn't want him to miss out on this opportunity with Miss Song, so I shamelessly told him."

"If Miss Song marries Adu, Adu will naturally only have her as his wife."

Song's mother was moved.

"Moreover, Adu's intentions over the years have never been overstepped, and Madam Song understands his character even better."

I'm even more tempted now.

"Adu, he must be genuinely good to Miss Song."

While talking about her son's good points, Gu Yanran suddenly remembered that her son had mentioned Miss Song, whose appearance was now stunning and had even aroused the covetousness of the Crown Prince. She added a sentence.

"Moreover, once she marries into my Shen family, no one will dare to disturb Miss Song."

When Gu Yanran said this, she spoke with both domineering confidence and certainty.

Song's mother was moved, and even more so when she heard the words "No one dares to disturb Qingqing." She was completely swayed.
