Even though a Madam from the Uncle's Mansion passed away, given Song Ci's status, there was no need to attend the funeral in person. Therefore, only Madam Jiang and Madam Lu were sent to offer condolences.
Madam Jiang didn't feel much about it as she hadn't seen the person, but Madam Lu was somewhat pensive. Sharing a carriage with her on the way, she brought up the incident that happened during the Autumn Festival in the Sunflower Garden.
Madam Jiang was a clever woman and chuckled at once, "That Ji Madam was so foolish, it's no surprise she met her end."
For saying such treasonous words, wasn't she courting death?
Any family head with a bit of sense would have dealt with it immediately. Otherwise, if such news reached the Emperor, what would happen? Would they think the Ji Family wanted to rebel and hoped for the Xia Dynasty's resurgence instead of wishing for the Great Qing's prosperity?
