Song Ci rested her feet after drinking two cups of tea and then suggested taking her leave, as she still had to make offerings.
The Princess Consort of Prince Min stood beneath the pavilion, seeing her off, without mentioning any future visits. After all, given her awkward status, sharing just these two cups of tea with Song Ci was sufficient. Too frequent interactions would be detrimental to Song Mansion.
Song Ci likely understood this, and tactfully did not bring it up either. With a polite farewell and a wish to meet again if fate allows, she was surrounded by maids and servants as she departed. Watching Song Ci walk away, the Princess Consort of Prince Min took Wan Chun's hand to return to the pavilion, her body turning in circles from different angles, with scenery wherever her gaze landed.
She suddenly laughed, her laughter reaching her eyes, her brows, and eyes relaxed.
