After Princess Anping and her daughter left, Song Ci curled her fingers and lightly tapped the table, her brows faintly knitted.
"What do you think the Princess meant by those words? Could it be that someone is using the dealings between our two families to make an issue of it?"
Nanny Gong said, "It wouldn't be anything strange if that were the case. The Princely Heir of the Lu Family is heavily relied upon by the Emperor and is also the Princess's son-in-law, while the Princess is on close terms with you. I fear someone may be secretly impeaching you for forming cliques and pursuing private interests and the like."
Song Ci sighed. "There are always people who cannot bear to see others in harmony."
"This too is something we are helpless against."
"Grand Madam, the Prime Minister is here." Xiaoman lifted the curtain and reported.
Song Zhiyuan stepped through the door and said, "I heard Mother sighing from far away. Has something happened?"
