When it came to whether or not to keep the child in Su Qing's belly, Song Ci absolutely stood on the same front as Madam of the Song Family, united against outsiders.
It cannot be kept!
If Song Ruqi's child were safely born, then keeping this one would just be a matter of providing food, and the Duke Mansion could afford it. But with the legitimate child gone, and it caused by the concubine's biological mother, do you expect the legitimate mother to endure it?
Forget it, how could one endure this!
The so-called enmity of a murdered child is irreconcilable, who can tolerate who is a saint!
Song Ci didn't have the heart of a saint; she was the Grand Madam of the Song Family, loyal only to her own. Others, they have nothing to do with her.
Keeping this child would daily prick at Song Ruqi's heart, wouldn't this drive her to illness?
Song Ci held a principle: let others perish rather than her. Moreover, the other party was not innocent.
