She got more and more excited as she spoke: "After all, Songdao is a child I watched grow up. He is kind-hearted and very intelligent."
With her back to her, Liu rolled her eyes, thinking that she was already grateful that her good-for-nothing son could even get a wife, so how could she dare to be picky? But after all, this was in front of Ji, and if she really told the truth, she would be the one who lost face.
Thinking this, she smiled and said, "When he comes back, he'll be very touched to know how much his third aunt cares about him. But right now, with the old lady having just passed away, isn't it a bit impolite for us to be discussing our children's marriages here?"

Madam Zhu nodded and looked at her gently: "Thank you, Ayu, I understand."
Zhu Jiayu smiled, turned around and went out. As she passed by Liu and Ji, she keenly sensed that someone seemed to be staring at her for a long time.
