As Song Zhiyuan was engaged in a verbal spar with the Qingcheng Marquis, Song Ci was also chatting with Nanny Gong about the gossip of the Qingcheng Marquis Mansion after the grandsons brought Yuan Hao to pay their respects.
After hearing the whole story about the eldest son, Yuan Liren, Song Ci couldn't help but exclaim how melodramatic it was. Such an old trope, yet it happened just like that.
"Judging by the manners of that young Yuan gentleman, he seems to have been strictly educated. You can see the adult from the child; his mother's rules of etiquette must be quite good," Song Ci recalled Yuan Hao's manners and praised fairly.
Nanny Gong said, "I heard that her maternal family was once a prestigious one fallen from grace, but the specifics are not very clear."
