Duke Dingguo, too, is a man with schemes. He says that the matter of children's marriages is merely a pretext; what he truly wishes to draw out is probably the reshuffling of power in the capital caused by the Emperor's recent epidemic.

"There's also this point: my old mother is aging, and her health deteriorates by the day. As her son, I want my old mother, who has toiled for most of her life, to see four generations under one roof. Thus would I fulfill my duty as her son."

But as the matter concerned Song Ci's health, he could not say anything unpleasant, only mentioned, "I hear from my wife that your esteemed Madam is quite healthy."
"Not as much as before." Song Zhiyuan sighed deeply, his tone tinged with helplessness and heartache.
