But he still hesitated and said, "This child's marriage still depends on his personal wishes."
"Madam Song is right. Of course, it depends on the child's idea. Why don't you ask him now?"
Gu Yanran nodded calmly, her serene smile revealing no emotion whatsoever.
"Alright then, I'll have the maid go and ask Qingyin."
Song's mother suddenly sensed something was amiss, but this feeling quickly disappeared as Gu Yanran kept praising her daughter's excellence.
The eldest princess, who successfully manipulated Madam Song: Despite not having practiced for many years, her methods remained outstanding.
Now, as long as her son isn't lying to her, Miss Song is determined to marry him.
As for what her son said at the beginning, that he told Song's mother that Qingqing had agreed to his feelings, Gu Yanran wouldn't be so foolish as to tell the Song family directly that her son had tricked the girl and that the girl had already agreed.
Gu Yanran assured that if she really told Song's mother those words, Song's mother's attitude towards her would definitely not be as good as it is now.

Gu Yanran tried hard to hear the maid's voice, but the distance was too far, and she couldn't hear it clearly. She could only see out of the corner of her eye that Song's mother's expression suddenly turned surprised and wary. Gu Yanran's heart skipped a beat. Why did she say so much? Song's mother's expression had returned to the one she had when she first heard that Shen Du wanted to ask to marry Miss Song.
Could it be that Miss Song has changed her mind?
Gu Yanran was thinking about it in a daze.
Gu Yanran was now genuinely nervous.
Madam Song gave Gu Yanran a polite smile.
Gu Yanran took it seriously.
Agree or disagree?
"My Qingqing wants to come and meet the princess herself to explain her feelings."

Gu Yanran looked towards the doorway with a mixture of nervousness and curiosity.
