The Valued Lady is Truly Dominant-Chapter 732 Madam Is Going Dark

Because it was Song Lingzhao’s twins’ birthday, Song Zi originally planned to take a few children to stay at the Prime Minister’s Mansion for a night, to both celebrate her nephews’ birthday and to allow the family’s children to get close to their cousins.

Feelings, after all, need regular interaction to remain intimate. Long periods without meeting or speaking can make even the closest relationships become distant.

So, whether for the children’s future or for her own family’s interests, Song Zi wanted to maintain good relations with her relatives. After all, the Lin Family was their most powerful and influential marriage connection; only a fool would distance themselves.

But after having a conversation with her brother, Song Zi couldn’t sit still. Despite the late hour, she immediately returned home to discuss matters with her children’s father, wary that her brother might pit her daughter against a problem. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Everyone was surprised by Song Zi’s sudden return. What had happened?

Song Zi claimed she couldn’t stop worrying about the affairs of the house and left. As for her two drunken sons, they could sleep in the Prime Minister’s Mansion, and someone would be sent to fetch them the next day.

That’s what she said, but upon closer inspection, it was clear that Song Zi had argued with her twin brother, Song Zhiqing, and the argument had taken place in Consort Bai’s courtyard. However, the details of the argument were not clear.

Others might not know, but Lu Ruxin was aware. Before leaving, Song Zi entrusted her trusted maid to deliver a brief message, asking her to restrain Consort Bai and prevent her elder brother from being so infatuated and disoriented by her that the household became restless.

This caused Lu Ruxin to feel disgusted—so it was the handiwork of Consort Bai, that black-hearted flower.

Upon careful inquiry, some information was uncovered: it was about the marriage of Lin Zhihui.

"He’s sure a good uncle." The tone was full of disdain and cold mockery.

Using his own niece to climb high—is that good?

What kind of talk is that!

At Lu Ruxin’s sneer, she suddenly thought of Song Ruwei, and her expression stiffened as she gripped the edge of the kang table.

"Madam?"

Nanny Zhou saw her serious expression and was a bit puzzled.

Lu Ruxin looked at her and said, "The master wants to betroth Zhihui to Prince Xiao. What do you think he plans for our Wei’er?"

Nanny Zhou was startled and cautiously asked, "What does Madam mean?"

Lu Ruxin remained silent.

After a long silence, she finally spoke softly, "Last year when I heard Prince Zhou held Wei’er in high regard, my heart was rather elated, thinking that if she could become a princess or concubine, it would be great wealth and honor. But later, Consort Bai had a miscarriage, and Qi’er was also plotted against in the back residence, resulting in a miscarriage as well. Nanny, I’m worried."

"Consort Bai is just a concubine, but she’s so arrogant and domineering, so encountering trouble in the Prince Mansion is not uncommon. But Qi’er is an official wife, and she got into trouble. So, if Wei’er is only a concubine in the future, what will she encounter? I don’t dare to imagine!" Lu Ruxin sighed and said, "Such overwhelming wealth and prosperity look good, but they are fraught with dangers and countless threats. Miscarriages are one thing, but the worst would be to suffer wrongful death in a secluded home."

Nanny Zhou shivered, "Madam, you are overthinking it."

Lu Ruxin shook her head, "After seeing these matters and making comparisons, I still feel that the simplest family background is best."

For instance, the Duke Cheng’en, whom I favored from the start, is unmatched when comparing all aspects now. If Wei’er could secure that, it would be a blessing.

"The master over there might..."

Lu Ruxin’s face darkened, and her eyes turned fierce, "If he dares to betroth Wei’er without my consent, we’ll see! I’m not the former Lu Ruxin."

Nanny Zhou looked at her mistress’s eyes, and she sighed inwardly. Madam was finally going dark!
