Madam Song could only swallow her anger in the end.
Third Madam and Song Ya Lan sighed in relief. Fortunately, they were not sent to the family temple, otherwise, it would be no different from being driven out of the house!
Madam Song glared at Song Ya Lan fiercely, then left with a flick of her sleeves.
Song Yalin hurriedly followed.
Not until they returned to Madam Song's courtyard, did Song Yalin say, "Mother, you shouldn't have been so impulsive just now. If you really punished Fifth Sister now, I'm afraid the gossips outside would spread more. Although Fifth Sister's fainting act was exposed today, there were still people who saw her being forced to jump into the lake. There will always be those who deliberately try to tarnish Mother's reputation."
Madam sighed and took a deep breath: "Don't I know that? I just can't swallow this anger."
