Song Ci didn't ask Madam Shen why she would be willing to come to the Song Family as a concubine, such a foolish question. First, it was the Emperor's decree; second, living out her days in the palace, not many truly wish for that.
Madam Shen's choice, however, allows her to leave the palace walls and glimpse the outside world. Though she becomes a concubine, she is a Noble Concubine. If fortunate, she may even bear a child, achieving a life that is quite complete and beautiful.
Another reason Song Ci didn't ask is that everyone has her own choices. For Madam Shen to be standing here, it must be her carefully considered decision.
Why ask?
No need to ask.
Just as they were speaking, Madam Lu and Song Zhiqing entered together as a couple.
Madam Shen and Bilu stood up. As the pair entered the room, they paid respects to Song Ci, who then spoke, allowing Bilu to congratulate Song Zhiqing.
