After that, Yan Yu'an never looked at her again.
Song Zhi also had many followers.
It wasn't just because she was the legitimate daughter of the Minister of War, but also because she herself was quite beautiful.
However, she has never met the person who makes her heart flutter.
Song Zhi felt a sudden, inexplicable pain in her heart.
This pain threw Song Zhi into a panic.
He was just a man she had met once.
He and his mother rode in a carriage back to the mansion.
Song Zhi looked listless.
Madam Song understood perfectly well that her daughter had taken a liking to someone else, while the Yan family's son had not taken a liking to her.
Madam Song was a little annoyed. What was wrong with her daughter that she had to be picked on by others?
After thinking it over, she started complaining about her old man.
How could he have chosen this blockhead as his son-in-law?
Seeing her mother's worry, Song Zhi told her the truth about what had happened that day.
After hearing this, Madam Song gently patted her back and comforted her, saying, "There are plenty of good men in the world. This man has no taste. We are not worried about not finding someone better."
Song Zhi nodded. However, she still couldn't let go of the matter in her heart.
I wonder what kind of person the woman in his heart is?
As soon as Lord Song returned home, he was scolded by Madam Song.
Yan Yu'an, a mere guard, dared to look down on her daughter.
As long as one gets involved with the Ministry of War, their future will be bright; Prince Yan must know this.
Why did he refuse this marriage proposal?
My daughter suffered injustice for nothing.
Fortunately, the matchmaking was conducted in secrecy today, so Madam Song was not worried that it would get out and ruin her daughter's reputation.
"He didn't even come closer?" Lord Song laughed heartily.
Madam Song scolded, "How dare you laugh?"
Lord Song: "What a pity."
"You old man, you don't care about your daughter being wronged, but you're concerned about other people's sons. Isn't that a pity?" Madam Song glared angrily at Lord Song.
Lord Song stroked his beard and said unhurriedly, "Of course I care about our daughter. I'm just happy for her!"
"Relieved?" Madam Song's eyes widened. "What nonsense are you talking about? Who would be relieved after being rejected in a marriage proposal?"
Lord Song smiled and pulled Madam Song to sit down. "Think about it, if he really agrees to this marriage right away, it would truly be a misfortune for our daughter."
Madam Song looked at Lord Song with a puzzled expression. "What do you mean by that?"
Lord Song analyzed, "Although Yan Yu'an is the heir of the Marquis's mansion, the Marquis's mansion has now fallen into decline."
He's just a lowly guard now, and he knows I'll help him climb the social ladder and get into our family, guaranteeing him a bright future. Yet he refused the marriage proposal without hesitation today, showing he has backbone. How could someone like that be content to remain a guard forever?
He will definitely work hard to climb up the ladder.
Those around the emperor, as long as they are not mediocre, will surely have their day to rise.
Moreover, as far as I know, the Emperor values him highly. Most importantly, he saved my life.
"What?" Madam Song immediately stood up after hearing what Lord Song said.
"Is he the one who saved your life in Chenzhou?" Madam Song asked in surprise.
"Yes, I searched for many years, and it wasn't until after the Emperor was assassinated that I finally saw him, as he was always by the Emperor's side," said Lord Song.
"Are you sure?" Madam Song no longer felt that Prince Yan was a bad person.
He's perfect in every way.
It doesn't matter if you don't like her daughter; you can just shamelessly ask her to be your godparent.
“I’m sure it’s him,” Song Hao said.
"I'll invite Madam Yan out again tomorrow." Madam Song beamed, the gloom on her face vanishing completely.
Seeing his wife's smile, Lord Song felt much more at ease.
He knew that his wife had always hoped that their daughter could find a good husband.
In retrospect, Yan Yu'an might actually be a good choice.
Although he refused the marriage proposal, his character and abilities were recognized by Lord Song.
Lord Song decided that after his wife met with Madam Yan tomorrow, he would then carefully plan how to further improve the relationship between the two families.
He had investigated and found that Yan and An had never been engaged, nor had they met any other women.
If a person is still unmarried at twenty, it's either because he's been bedridden for three years with no one paying attention to him, or because he hasn't met the right person.
Now, Song Hao's daughter is a natural fit.
Even if it's not suitable, it has to be suitable.
Unlike Madam Song, Lord Song was determined to make Prince Yan his son-in-law.
Neither of them were engaged, but in her eyes, they were a match made in heaven.
At Lord Song's behest, Madam Song and Madam Yan met again the following day.
"Madam Yan, I have come here today to discuss something with you," Madam Song said, getting straight to the point.
“Please speak freely, Madam Song,” said Madam Yan.
Yesterday, her son wasn't in a good mood, and she couldn't do anything about it; she couldn't force her son to marry Song Zhi.
That's not fair to the young lady.
Judging from the current situation, Minister Song has not given up yet.
Madam Yan found it a bit strange.
The daughters of the Song family have no trouble getting married.
Madam Yan wouldn't be so foolish as to think that the Minister's family absolutely needed her son.
"Regarding the marriage of your son and daughter, I know it's a bit abrupt to propose now, but if my Song family and your Yan family could become in-laws, it would surely be a wonderful story," Madam Song said with a smile.
Madam Yan looked troubled. "Madam Song, this matter is probably a bit difficult. An'er, he..."
Madam Song quickly said, "I know that Young Master Yan may have some concerns, but feelings can be cultivated slowly. I think your son and my daughter are a perfect match, so why don't we let them spend more time together?"
