The Madam of the Song Family was extremely frail after childbirth, lacking even a trace of strength. When speaking with Song Zhiyuan, she had to force herself to hold up.
Song Zhiyuan said, "Your body is still weak, don't worry about anything for now. Just focus on recovering your health first. Whatever needs doing can wait until you're well again."
The Madam nodded, saying, "These days, I fear it will be hard for the Prime Minister to stay in the study."
Song Zhiyuan replied, "It won't be for long. Because of Prime Minister Fan's wife occasionally falling into slumber, and Prime Minister Fan unable to accompany the court, I took leave from the Emperor and hurried back. This time, I've wronged you by not being able to stay by your side."
Though the Madam felt somewhat disappointed inside, she understood the importance of matters, stating, "I am fine here, with servants attending to me. You should hurry back to serve the Emperor."
