After expressing their thoughts, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law shifted the conversation.
Song Ci mentioned Bai Shuilian and looked at Lu Shi, saying, "I heard that Aunt Bai caused trouble again?"
Lu Shi quickly stood up, full of apology, saying, "Yesterday, my husband took her out. It is said they went to Prince Xiao's Mansion to enjoy the lantern festival. I felt she broke the rules by leaving the mansion without permission, so I punished her by making her kneel for an hour."
Song Ci frowned and said, "Taking her to Prince Xiao's Mansion to enjoy lanterns? Has the third son lost his mind? There's no logic in taking a concubine as a guest. He's utterly confused; he's regressing as he lives."
Lu Shi showed a bitter expression, lowered her head, and said nothing.
Jiang Shi and Madam Song exchanged glances, both silently staring at their teacups.
