Song Xia was completely stunned when she was chosen by the system; she couldn't understand it at all. She had never given birth, and her heart had long since turned to ice, so why was she chose...
Ye Wanrou opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.
However, although her sister-in-law doesn't go out much, she is very well-informed and hasn't done anything to suffer losses or harm innocent people in recent years. So she'd better wait and see. She probably wants to match Zhou Shuqing with that girl because the girl's character isn't very good.
The two women then began to plan for the New Year and to choose a husband for Song Baoning.
She's fifteen now. Although there's no rush to get married, it's good to take your time to observe people and make sure they're of good character.
Song Xia remembered that Bao Ning's marriage in her previous life seemed quite good on the surface. She came from a prominent family, and her husband was outstanding in both appearance and talent. Moreover, she was not the eldest daughter-in-law and did not have to bear the burden of the family's honor. She could live her own quiet life behind closed doors.
However, a few years later, the man fell ill and passed away suddenly, leaving behind a widow and her daughter to be bullied. The Prince Cheng's mansion was too far away to help them.
In this lifetime, she had to advise her sister-in-law to find someone from the capital. Even if he was lacking in other aspects, with the Prince's Mansion in the capital, no family would dare to give Bao Ning a hard time.
Song Xia used herself as an example: "Look at Zhou Yongli, whom I married, although he's not a great man, I still live a carefree life. No one in the manor dares to give me a hard time. Why? Because I can go back to the Prince's Mansion anytime. But if Bao Ning marries someone from another place, and she suffers any mistreatment, can the Prince's Mansion stand up for her anytime? If she gets sick, and the manor drags its feet on treatment, what's the use of us settling scores later?"
Ye Wanrou had originally planned to visit her childhood best friend's youngest son, but after hearing her sister-in-law's suggestion, she realized it made some sense. If she married nearby, she could visit her daughter more often; if she married far away...
She thought about herself and wondered how many times she had gone back in the past few years.
