In the dead of night, Song Ci was awakened by a commotion.
Chun Fen removed the floor-standing gauze lampshade, turned up the light, and brought water to help Song Ci soothe her throat.
"What's wrong? What time is it now? Why is it so noisy outside?"
Nanny stood aside, holding a large coat, and said, "An incident occurred over at Peaceful Garden."
Song Ci paused: "What happened?"
"Concubine Bai was stabbed."
Song Ci's eyes widened: "Did I hear that wrong? How did she get stabbed? Who did it?"
"It was that girl Frost Dew near Concubine Bai. Jiang Fula found out about Frost Dew, and when people went to seize the girl, she pressed the attack on Concubine Bai, causing her to get injured here." Nanny pointed at the abdomen.
Song Ci laughed angrily: "What's Jiang Fula doing? Trying to capture a girl, but letting people get hurt?"
Nanny said, "Since it was late night and also inside the inner courtyard, those sent were several stern matriarchs from the mansion's Punishment Hall."
