What Song Ci hadn't anticipated was that Madam Ji wouldn't merely disappear from the public eye, but would never appear again, as she suddenly dropped dead one night.
Madam Ji took her own life.
Upon hearing this news early in the morning, Song Ci spat out the mouthful of hot tea she had yet to swallow.
"What, took her own life?"
Nanny handed over a handkerchief and nodded: "It's said she couldn't get over it for a moment and swallowed gold. Her body has been taken care of, and the news has already been reported."
Song Ci casually wiped the corner of her mouth and frowned: "No way, she would take her own life? Are you joking? Given her greed for wealth and love for petty gains, would she really be driven to take her own life? I don't believe it!"
"Believe it or not, she's gone anyway."
Song Ci clenched the handkerchief and asked: "In your view, did she truly take her own life, or was it forced?"
