The Old Madam Gu dismissed the displeased Madam Gu, leaving her son to speak alone.
The Duke Zhongyong, seeing her unhappy expression, gently said, "Mother, please don't be angry. The Luo family has gotten quite stubborn with age in the past two years. I'll have a good talk with her later."
The Old Madam Gu sighed, "I know she harbors resentment. She initially wanted to match her nephew from the maternal family with Qi'er, but Xiangyi wasn't willing. Later, she tried to propose Ruoning and her sisters to the Song Family sons, but they were also refused. She's unhappy, and I understand that."
The Duke Zhongyong remained silent.
"To be honest, I'm somewhat upset too. A generation of marriage ties between the Duke Zhongyong Mansion and the Song Family was beneficial. Another union would solidify the relations between the two families, ensuring support in times of need. Unfortunately, Xiangyi's side is uninspiring."
