Chapter 636: Chapter 636: Talking Nonsense, Confront Her!
The healthy child was suddenly plotted against and even had a miscarriage. And it happened after the fetus had formed. This was undeniably vicious. If the motherâs body hadnât held up, couldnât there have been two deaths?
Even if the motherâs body was resilient, a miscarriage at this stage would still harm her health. If it caused her to never conceive again, it would be a fatal blow.
So even with just a little thought, how could the Prime Ministerâs Mansion let it go easily?
They must demand justice; they canât just let it pass with a loud noise and little action.
Song Ci surveyed the surroundings, then looked outside. Nanny Gong had already led people to clean up the entire courtyard. Now, everything was orderly, unlike the messy state when he first arrived.
Nanny Gong walked in and stood beside Song Ci, her face especially stern.
"Did you find anything amiss?" Song Ci asked softly.
The Duke Madam slightly lifted her eyelids and perked up her ears.
"Nothing found so far."
Song Ci laughed softly. It was hidden deeply indeed.
"It seems that to find the mastermind, weâll really need the Dukeâs Madam to intervene," Song Ci said with a smile to the Duke Madam, though the smile didnât reach his eyes.
The Duke Madam had no choice but to express, "Rest assured, the Duke Mansion will certainly give the Song Family an explanation."
Marrying into a noble family is like this, hard to handle. When such an incident happens, theyâre extremely embarrassed; if it were a small family, would it be so passive?
If it were a small family, theyâd just be sent off casually and have to accept the loss.
When Madam Liao saw her mother-in-lawâs fingers fidgeting, she knew she was upset and felt a sense of satisfaction in her heart. She said, "Grand Madam, we are also distressed about the unfortunate incident involving our sister-in-law. Mother cried several times, and when she first heard the news, she even fainted from anger. Alas, we can only say that the child had no fate with our Duke Mansion. Please rest assured, sister-in-law is young, she will have more children."
The Duke Madam timely took a handkerchief to wipe the corner of her eye.
The Song Madamâs face turned dark. Wasnât this just heartless talk?
Song Ci chuckled angrily, raising her eyelids to look at Madam Liao, "This must be the Second Madam? Listen to what youâre saying. What do you mean by no fate? If there was no fate, how could he be born to your third brother and sister-in-law? Itâs not a matter of fate, but bad luck, being ruined by someone, unable to see the beauty of this world."
Madam Liaoâs face stiffened.
"And, regarding what you said about having more children, thatâs certainly true. We all know the condition of Qiâerâs body. Sheâs young enough, and with proper care, she can definitely have more children. But any future children wonât be the same as the lost one. So, please donât say such things again, especially not in front of our Qiâer, because it stabs her in the heart." Song Ci accepted the tea handed over by Nanny Gong, murmuring, "Itâs easy to talk without feeling the pain. Itâs not at all kind."
Madam Liao was so angry her liver hurt.
People always said the Song Grand Madamâs words were biting, and they were now seeing it firsthand.
The Duke Madamâs face also turned green. The other party was giving no face, yet she couldnât blow up and had to still wear a smile.
"Madam Liao, see how youâre speaking, angering the Grand Madam. Apologize immediately."
Madam Liao, increasingly stifled, had to kneel slightly under her mother-in-lawâs gaze, saying, "Grand Madam, itâs my fault for speaking improperly. Please forgive me."
Song Ci raised an eyelid and said, "Second Madam, youâre too serious. Iâve always thought that people need to know empathy. You wonât know the pain unless the needle pierces your own flesh, donât you think?"
It just went on and on.
Madam Liao pulled a corner of her mouth, about to speak, when Lin Qing emerged from the inner room with a grave expression.
