The Song Madam sat up straight, smiling as she replied, "All the guests have been sent off, and I have arranged with Madam Wen for our next visit to Songshan Temple for incense and prayers."
Song Ci paused her tea-drinking motion for a moment, then lightly said, "Oh."
She knew it—Gu's family had taken a liking.
The Song Madam noticed her indifferent reaction and couldn't quite gauge her thoughts. Did she fancy the Wen Family's young lady or not?
The Song Madam bit her lip and cautiously asked, "Mother, how do you view this Miss Wen? Is she worthy of our Su'er?"
Song Ci said nothing, only playing slowly with the small leaf sandalwood bead necklace in her hand.
Nanny stood right next to her, lowered her gaze, and looked at Song Ci.
The afternoon sun through the south window cast its light on her already lined face, creating shadows of varying depths, making her expression rather indistinct and somewhat enigmatic.
