A six-year-old child, can they understand what "plan thoroughly before acting" means? Ran Yan didn't know. But she was aware of Lady Xiao's painstaking efforts. In any significant family, there are hardly any that enjoy peace within the inner court; for Xiao Song to become an outstanding power holder, he absolutely needed to be stable.
Ran Yan took his hand and said, "Grandmother mentioned Emperor Xiaoming on her deathbed. I imagine meeting him in the hereafter is also a cause for joy."
Xiao Song smiled slightly and said, "Grandmother was very good to me, heaven has not been meager to me either."
The marriage between Ran Yan and Xiao Song was largely facilitated by Lady Xiao herself; if not for that, with such a great difference in status between the Ran family and the Xiao family, the Dugu family would not have remained silent either.
Xiao Song's vulnerability and sentimentality were always fleeting. He was quickly able to adjust his own mindset.
