Chapter 241 Family Misfortune
Although Song Ci knew that the Wei Family’s grand old lady was ill, she did not visit the mansion immediately. Instead, she waited a few days before sending a card to announce her visit.
Upon entering the Wei Mansion, Song Ci was escorted into a small carriage that took her to the second gate, where Madam Wei personally awaited her arrival.
"Lady Song, my apologies for not welcoming you from afar," said Madam Wei, bowing respectfully alongside her eldest daughter-in-law towards Song Ci.
"No need for formalities," Song Ci replied with a smile, raising her hand slightly. "I heard that your family’s grand old lady is ill, so I came to see her."
Madam Wei expressed her gratitude, saying, "Mother’s spirits lifted greatly upon hearing of your visit. Please, this way, Lady Song."
Following her lead through the back courtyard, passing through a moon gate and along a corridor, Song Ci arrived at Shou’an Hall, the lodging of the Wei Family’s grand old lady, in less than a quarter of an hour.
There stood a girl named Wei Wenfang, seemingly the third in line, but the second eldest young mistress was nowhere in sight.
Song Ci’s eyes flickered as she received Wei Wenfang’s courtesy, then she slowly walked into the main hall and sat down while maidservants presented her with warm tea.
