"I didn't expect the Song family to be so powerful in Jinling." Prince Jing thought it made sense, as the Song family had been salt merchants for generations.
"The wealth and influence of the Song family surpass even the noble families of Jinling," Empress Xie said to Prince Jing with deep meaning. "The Song family's wealth and influence can help you achieve many things."
Prince Jing understood Empress Xie's implication and said with joy, "Mother, Grandmother has truly left us something extraordinary." Suddenly, he thought of something and showed a smug smile, "The most important thing is that Uncle and the Crown Prince have no idea."
"Indeed." Empress Xie, recalling the late Duchess, could not help but show sadness, "Your grandmother foresaw that after her departure, your uncle and the others would not support me, so she left the Song family to assist me."
