In the hall, Madam Cui and Madam Shu were receiving guests.
"Your Excellency, I apologize for my intrusion."
"Lord Meng."
Fang Ruotang knew the visiting official. He worked in the Hanlin Academy and was once favored by the emperor. He had beautiful handwriting and often drafted imperial edicts for the emperor and lectured him on scriptures.
However, the Emperor is now focused on ascending to the throne, and most of the political affairs have been handed over to the Crown Prince. Nevertheless, Lord Meng is still highly valued by the Crown Prince.
"What do you need me for?" Fang Ruotang was a little curious. After all, although this person was not a high-ranking official, he was always present at the morning court session. If he had something to say, he should have told her long ago.
Lord Meng knew Fang Ruotang's personality, so he didn't mince words and spoke frankly.

Fang Ruotang: ...
"You, um, your eldest son isn't dead, you..."
However, Meng the eldest returned with his wife and children, and ultimately, his wife, who had shared many hardships with him, would die of depression.
Fang Ruotang: ...
Are you sick? Do you have to gasp for breath when you talk? Okay! Now what am I supposed to say? You, you come here!
Fang Ruotang was unhappy with Xiao Jingzi's teasing way of speaking, but she conveyed whatever Xiao Jingzi said. Although she listened to these people's grudges and love affairs as stories, she would not interfere in their emotional disputes.
