The Old Madam is the second wife of the late Old Prince, so she is not the biological grandmother of the main branch. She holds control over the household finances. When the raid occurs, she first tries to assert her status as an imperial consort but is roughly dismissed by the soldiers. She is frightened and weeps. She gathers the second and third branches around her. She is resistant to the exile and later becomes suspicious of Wei Chengyi when the storehouses are empty, thinking he might have hidden the wealth.
