Song Zhiyuan somehow managed to persuade the stubborn one, otherwise, with this imperial marriage decree, whether they wanted to marry or not, they would have to go through with it.
Since Emperor Chu has already extended a ladder, naturally he has to climb it. Governor of Jiangnan, indeed?
Song Zhiyuan rubbed his hands together, pondering deeply.
Marriages among the families of nobility are often political alliances. Just like the two imperial marriage decrees in their family, they were also the Emperor's intentions. Now, this Governor Wen, alas.
Song Zhiyuan and Song Ci returned to the mansion together, with matters weighing on their mind. He first escorted the old lady back to Chunhui Hall and sat down to have tea.
Song Ci saw that he hadn't even changed out of his official robes and was sitting in his own room drinking tea. She frowned and asked, "Did Dan'er go to see the Emperor and displease him? You look troubled, you haven't even changed out of your official robes."
