Chapter 277 Grandma, Help Us Skip a Class
"Madam, Third Miss and Fourth Young Master have come to pay their respects to you," Hong You said with a smile.
Song Ci’s eyes curved into a smile: "Let the children in."
Song Ruwei walked in holding her younger brother’s hand, and in a muffled voice, performed a kowtow ceremony for Song Ci.
"No need for formalities, rise," Song Ci instructed them with a smile. "You don’t go to the clan school, so why come to pay your respects now? Didn’t I tell you that you only need to come on the first and fifteenth days?"
The two looked up after getting off the floor, and Song Ci exclaimed teasingly, "The Autumn Festival hasn’t even passed yet, so it’s not fully autumn, but why do you siblings look as wilted as eggplants after autumn?"
Song Lingzhou stepped forward with a tearful voice: "Grandmother, can you have someone give us leave from the clan school today? We don’t want to attend lessons."
Song Ci was taken aback: "Why is that? You want to skip school and have your grandmother help cover it up?"
"No, it’s just that my mother seemed to have argued with father, and she’s been crying very hard. Grandmother, I want to stay with her," Song Lingzhou said, pouting, his eyes also red.
An argument?
Song Ci exchanged a glance with Nanny, puzzled over why there’d be an argument from miles apart.
Nanny quietly stepped out to gather information.
Song Ci then brought Song Lingzhou closer, holding him, and said: "You don’t want to go to the clan school and want to stay with your mother — has she agreed to it? And what about Wei’er, does she not want to go too?"
Song Ruwei bit her lip gently and said, "Grandmother, I worry about mother."
