Chapter 36: The Unreliable Fourth Son of the Song Family
Lu Shi stumbled as she left Chunhui Hall, her heart full of dread.
She always felt that Song Ci’s words were meant for her, were a warning directed at her.
If Song Ci knew what this daughter-in-law was thinking, he would probably slam the table in exasperation—some people just love to overthink and dramatize for themselves.
Unable to understand the current Song Ci, Lu Shi had no choice but to consult someone who knew her, leading to another meeting with Madam Song.
Madam Song hesitated for a moment, then said, "Lu Courtyard has mentioned that since Mother’s stroke, her temperament has changed somewhat. We can only follow along with her wishes."
Lu Shi frowned.
Madam Song sipped her tea calmly, cast a sideways glance at her sister-in-law, and said, "Mother’s memory isn’t what it used to be; she doesn’t bring up past unpleasantness anymore."
Lu Shi felt a lump in her throat and forced a smile, raising her tea to hide her embarrassment.
