Madam Song lectured Song Yaoyao for two hours before finally leaving. As she left, she said:
"I'll give you another ten days. Otherwise..."
"I know."
Madam Song was finally gone!
Song Yaoyao gazed up at the sky, let out a long sigh, and said:
[Guagua, how did I end up like this?
I've already hidden away in the Princess's Residence, yet I still can't escape my mother's claws.
In my previous life, so many articles and videos talked about the misery of being pressured into marriage by your elders. Now I've experienced that misery myself.]
Guagua: [Host, why not listen to your mother?
Find a man and get married. What's so bad about that?]
Song Yaoyao: [Just thinking about having to deal with my husband's entire family after getting married...
This is ancient times, and I'm not someone who can swallow mistreatment. If I really got into a conflict with them, I definitely wouldn't put up with it.
I can't even guarantee what I might do...
Thinking about how that would end... forget it. With my personality, I'm better suited to being alone.
When one person eats her fill, the whole family goes without hunger!]
Guagua: [But how are you going to explain that to your mother?
You managed to fob her off this time, but what about next time?]
Song Yaoyao: [I'll take it one step at a time!]
Guagua: [Host, the Heavenly Phoenix Kingdom is developing very well now, and there isn't that much business at court.
You still haven't visited your own fief. Why not ask the emperor about going there to have a look?]
Song Yaoyao: [I've wanted to visit my fief for ages. I was going to bring it up with the emperor.
But then my eldest sister got pregnant, and with twins at that.
