Wu Dan's sudden betrayal took Song Ci by surprise, but even more surprising was the reaction of the old master Song.
Wasn't he hard of hearing? What did his peony just say earlier, asking for money instead of the person?
"You, Madam Wu, what did you just say?" The old master Song stared at Wu Dan, looking utterly shattered.
Wu Dan averted her eyes, lowering her head and said, "Old Master, Dan'er has a fragile fate and fears she can't serve you anymore."
The old master Song's heart tightened, and he stared at her intently. It took him a while before he got up, flicked his sleeve, and turned his back.
"Ungrateful."
Song Ci looked at Nanny Gong, who nodded and led Wu Dan out.
In the flower hall, only the two old folks were left.
Song Ci felt at ease. Getting rid of a young lady was smoother than she imagined. Originally, she thought she would have to arrange for someone to spruce up a small courtyard for Wu Dan.
