The Valued Lady is Truly Dominant

Chapter 882: Chapter 882: I’m Old and Willful

Song Ci held Xiao Man’s hand and returned to Chunhui Hall, noticing a slender figure kneeling at the courtyard entrance from afar, causing her steps to hesitate for a moment.

She had a fish brain, forgetting she had punished someone to kneel here.

Song Ci placed her hand on her brow bone, looked up at the scorching sun above her head, and just one glance made her head spin. Looking again at the person in front, their clothes must be sticking to their back.

Song Ci stepped forward, accompanied by Bai Shuilian, and Mother Quan respectfully knelt down, greeting the lady’s wellness.

Bai Shuilian shifted her stiff knees and bowed down: ”Greetings, Madam.”

With this bow, she then looked up at Song Ci.

This was Song Ci’s second meeting with Bai Shuilian. Dressed in lake-blue summer clothes, her hair was lightly tied, with just a single jade hairpin inserted, appearing quite elegant and simple.

However, perhaps because she held matters in her heart, her face had slimmed down significantly, becoming pointed and fine, and having knelt under the scorching sun for a short time, her complexion was deathly pale, her lips devoid of any blood color, and she trembled as if she might collapse at any moment from weakness.

”Madam Bai, do you know Little Five is ill?” Song Ci asked casually.

Bai Shuilian was slightly stunned, seemingly unprepared for such an opening, and nodded: ”I know, Madam, I beg for a chance to personally care for Young Master Five.”

”Oh, you know, then do you know that Number Three spoke falsely and contradicted his legitimate wife to get Little Five back to you?”

Bai Shuilian paused: ”I don’t know.”

”Then do you know Zhou’er and Little Five, are they going to have a rash?”

Upon hearing this, Bai Shuilian’s body trembled violently, looking at Song Ci with fright in her eyes, saying: ”I don’t know, I...”

”Such unknowing, do you really not know or falsely?” Song Ci scoffed: ”The only two sons of the Third Branch coincidentally both break out in a rash. Madam Bai, do you think this is mere coincidence?”

Bai Shuilian bit her teeth: ”I don’t understand what Madam means.”

”It’s fine if you don’t know, but I’ve heard you studied for a few years, have you heard of the saying ’a beast doesn’t eat its cubs’?”

”Madam!” Bai Shuilian exclaimed: ”Are you implying Little Four and Little Five having a rash is something I did? You mentioned a beast doesn’t eat its cubs, how could I harm my own children?”

”Yes, a beast doesn’t eat its cubs, but there are those ruthless enough, willing to damage themselves to harm others, they deserve punishment.” Song Ci looked down at her: ”Without solid evidence, I cannot say you did it. But Madam Bai, people are acting and Heaven is watching, who’s stirring trouble behind, Heaven sees it. Little Five, less than two years old, is facing this great ordeal. Can he survive this rash depends on his fate.”

Bai Shuilian trembled, biting her lips until beads of blood appeared and said: ”I have heard Madam is always fair and just, surely you will see the truth and won’t falsely accuse an innocent.”

Song Ci chuckled: ”Believing rumors as truth? You believe the flattering words of servants too, how naive, how foolish.”

Bai Shuilian: ”???”

Song Ci continued: ”However, when I’m fair and just, I also consider who the subject is. To those I favor, naturally it’s fair and just; to those I dislike, I’m definitely unreasonable. After all, I don’t have many good years left, so I act recklessly, for I am old and willful!”

An attitude of being old and shameless, a double standard, what can you do about it!

Bai Shuilian: ”...”

Simply stunning.
