Chapter 99: An Arrow to the Heart
Wang Qiuman was taken to her Fuqu Pavilion by Song Ruqi, and Song Ci and her group naturally found out.
Madam Wei breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It’s somewhat surprising that the child gets along so well with Qi’er."
Song Ci: "Why, is she usually quite introverted? I find her quite composed."
Madam Wei slightly leaned her body, looking at Song Ci said, "Old sister, we’ve been friends for a long time, so there’s no need to hide it from you. You must have inquired about the situation of my grand-niece."
"Is she said to be an orphan?"
A trace of bitterness and sadness crossed Madam Wei’s face. She nodded and said, "She is the granddaughter of my brother from my mother’s family and also from an official’s family. Her father was the Magistrate of Huzhou. Six years ago, my nephew was killed by bandits during a countryside duty. Her mother perished with him upon receiving the news."
"Such deep love?" Song Ci widened her eyes, swallowing hard. Dying for love requires immense courage.
"Indeed, she fulfilled her loyalty saga, yet didn’t consider how hard it would be for Qiuman to continue." Madam Wei wiped tears from the corner of her eyes and said, "After her parents passed away, she lived with her grandfather. Two years ago, my old brother also died, leaving her truly alone."
