The person Song Ci was complaining about was also being admonished at this moment.
Prince Min, namely Xia Houzhe, brushed his nose and dug his ear, sitting listlessly in the chair as he listened to the old gentleman opposite spout his repetitive words.
"...I have said before, tampering with that Song Madam is pointless. Why does the master not listen but still acts arbitrarily? It merely alerts Song Zhiyuan and Emperor Chu without achieving any purpose. Why do you insist on persisting?"
Xia Houzhe glanced sideways and said, "Didn't the gentleman say that without chaos in Great Qing, we have no opportunity? I just want to stir some chaos, don't I?"
The old gentleman's eyes sharpened.
"I know, the old gentleman is going to say that a mere woman is not important. But isn't she Song Zhiyuan's mother? Without her, Song Zhiyuan must mourn, and with him out of assistance to Emperor Chu, isn't there a chance?"
