Madam Song almost had an accident upon hearing the unsettling news about Song Ci. She was so shocked that she nearly went into early labor, but managed to stabilize herself with several deep breaths. Even after hearing it was just a false alarm, she still felt uneasy and ordered to be carried over in a palanquin.
Without seeing that Song Ci was safe with her own eyes, she would not be able to keep the baby calm.
Jiang Shi was also a bit speechless. Supporting Madam Song's arm, she softly said, "If you ask me, the third sister-in-law was like a rabbit pushed to the limit, which is why she lashed out."
"No matter how desperate, can it justify hitting someone? She is a legitimate wife, how can she hit her husband?" Madam Song chided in a deep voice, "I think it's her nature being forced out; she can't change her small-household demeanor, acting like a shrew in the marketplace, utterly disgraceful."
Jiang Shi was noncommittal.
