Chapter 157 Quarrels between Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law
"Mother, take care."
Madam Song respectfully saw Song Ci off onto the carriage and watched it disappear into the distance before turning back to the main courtyard.
Sitting inside, she sat blankly on the Arhat bed, suddenly sweeping the teacup onto the floor.
Seeing this, Nanny Fang instructed someone to clean it up, replaced it with a new cup of tea, dismissed the servant girls, and stood in front of Madam Song herself.
"Nanny, she just scolded me, saying I’ve lost my mind. Nanny, was I wrong?" Madam Song looked at Nanny Fang, somewhat dissatisfied. "In the past, I tolerated it. Now, despite being an Imperial Decree rank, do I still have to endure? Until when must I endure? I planned for my daughter to gain prestige, hoping she could marry a good family. Was I wrong? She doesn’t have a daughter, how could she understand a mother’s heart?"
Madam Song was somewhat unconvinced.
Nanny Fang said, "My dear Madam, you are planning for the Second Miss, naturally you are not wrong."
"Yes, I was just thinking of Qi’er. I merely wanted her to take Qi’er into the palace to meet the Empress Dowager, and she gave me a whole lecture. I had no idea my mother-in-law knew so much reasoning." Madam Song vented her grievances, spitting out the words that Song Ci had reprimanded her with.
Nanny Fang knew that she couldn’t stop her at this moment, otherwise, with the grievance bottled up, it would be even harder to pass.
After a cup of tea, Madam Song finally stopped her complaints, taking two more sips of tea.
