Song Ci dismissed everyone, then sat by the bedside, watching Madam without blinking.
"Tell me honestly, do you truly want to send Dan Ge'er over to my place to be raised out of a mother's love, hoping he can benefit from what you call luck, or are you just annoyed with the child? Disliking his incessant crying?"
Madam's heart trembled, her eyes dodged a bit, wanting to argue, but under Song Ci's gaze, she felt exposed.
"Mother, I, I..."
In her anxiousness, she couldn't finish her sentence, and tears filled her eyes first.
Song Ci frowned, saying: "No need to rush, speak slowly."
Madam took a deep breath and said: "Mother, I'm really a bit irritable. Ever since giving birth, I haven't had a sound sleep, and sometimes I even have nightmares. When Dan Ge cries, I get even more annoyed, and sometimes I even think, had I known it would be like this, it would have been better if both he and I were gone at the time. It would have saved me from this annoyance."
