When Song Zi returned to the guest courtyard, she happened to meet Bai Shuilian, who invited her to her courtyard. Only upon arrival did she learn it was her brother's idea.
"You siblings chat, I'll go have someone bring some tea and snacks." Bai Shuilian gracefully performed a curtsy and withdrew.
Once she had left, Song Zi furrowed her brows and looked at Song Zhi, saying, "Third brother, if you wanted to talk to me, why not in sister-in-law's courtyard? Why insist on coming here."
Song Zhiqing's face darkened: "What kind of way is that to speak, isn't Madam Bai your sister-in-law?"
Song Zi almost laughed from anger, looking at him with a half-smile.
Feeling a bit uneasy, Song Zhiqing said, "Even a concubine's wife is still a sister-in-law. Besides, haven't you seen the little fifth's younger siblings? They are your nephews and nieces."
Song Zi felt a bit upset inside and said, "Brother, what do you want?"
