Song Ci insults people indirectly, without using vulgar words as a courtesy; if she stops being indirect, it means she feels there's no need anymore.
Just like now.
Even the most ignorant commoners could tell that this Old Madam was berating that idler.
"Hey, are you the Prime Minister's Mansion Old Madam? Is this how you insult people?" The idler grinned: "Indeed, the Old Madam of the Prime Minister's family, which wields power over the entire court, has such a posture that we lowly folk cannot compare."
"Oh, you can recognize this old body, clearly your eyes aren't blind. Since you know this old body is the Imperial Decree's Old Madam of the Prime Minister's family, why don't you, a mere commoner, bow or kneel before this old body? Do you think the Imperial Decree granted by the Emperor is unworthy of this old body, or do you look down on the Song Minister's Mansion?"
Song Ci's smile appeared innocent, but her words were bloodless yet deadly.
Who would dare to admit to that?
