Ever since the old Lady narrowly escaped death, everyone in the house felt that this matriarch has become much more gentle and cheerful, gradually forgetting her past temper.
She was known to loathe evil like a bitter enemy, and if she didn't like you, she'd let loose whatever filthy words came to her mind. Especially when she was younger, since her husband couldn't hold the fort, the family had to rely on her, so her temper was quite fierce.
No wonder people outside said Song Ci was uncouth, that even as an Imperial Decree lady, she couldn't shake off the temperament of a rural farm woman.
Truly, this old lady could stay silent, but the moment she opened her mouth, she'd shame the other party so thoroughly they couldn't raise their head. Her strength in argument was unparalleled, unwittingly offending many.
Even she knew her personality wasn't very likable, but she didn't care, and avoided social engagements as much as possible.
