Song Ci hadn't expected Qi San to act so promptly this time, and the very next day he brought news of the Duke Mansion's 'disposal' of the young Mrs. Liao.
"He said it's been years since they've visited their ancestral home for the memorial rites or interacted much with the clan. So, they sent the second brother's family back to live there for a year or so, and to tidy up the sacrificial field of the Duke Mansion," said Song Ruqi, speaking of the Duke Ying's action toward Mrs. Liao.
With a year to spare from having this troublemaker constantly in sight, Song Ruqi could peacefully nurture her pregnancy and safely give birth to a child.
"The Duke Ying and Madam Qi are quite fair," Song Ci thought, recognizing this as an explanation to Song Ruqi. Although sending them back to their old home for a year or so might change their hearts over time, who knows what the situation will be when they return to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
