Many people died in the Dragon Boat Festival, and the Song Family went separately to offer their condolences to each household. As Song Ci was older and had received a tip from Eunuch Zhou, she headed to the Xia Clan.
Firstly, her noble status gave face to the Xia Clan, and secondly, hadn't she and Song Lingzhao together rescued that young Prince?
So this time, she took Song Lingzhao with her, while the daughters-in-law went to different families.
There was no other way; the assassin incident didn't only claim the life of a Xia Clan member, but several other families too. They had to disperse, and the next generation of the Song Family wasn't married yet, so finding a granddaughter-in-law to accompany was not possible.
Bringing along Song Ruwei was also not suitable due to her young age, so only Song Lingzhao accompanied her.
