The rumors spread by the beggars were not about Song Jiao having a sweetheart and discussing marriage with Liang Jinshi, but rather about the earthquake two years ago, which brought disaster to the Song Sicheng's elder brother's family far away in Ningzhou. Despite the shortage of government supplies, this family managed to overcome their difficulties.
Among them, Song Erlang's second daughter, Song Qi, was portrayed as a filial daughter who risked her life during the turmoil to rescue her younger brother and encouraged her parents to grit their teeth and get through tough times.
The Great Chu highly values filial piety.
As the beggars spread the story, more than half of the Capital came to know about Song Erlang's story, especially making Song Qi a paragon of filial piety.
Standing at the street corner, listening to passersby praise the "filial daughter" of the Song family, Song Qi's emotions were complex and difficult to express.
"Hey, Qi Qi, why are you here by yourself?"
