One hundred and thirty-five: Preparation

  Qing Tao didn't dare to persuade anything anymore, her relationship with Hong Yu was not deep to begin with. Moreover, this time Hong Yu really made a big mistake and taboo - actually running to the archenemy's place to sympathize with the other party and even speak well of them, whoever is her master would not tolerate it.

  She quickly helped Song Chuyi comb her hair and replied, "I'll talk to Permitted Auntie when she comes back. But just sending off Sister Hongyu like this, I'm afraid it's not suitable for Green Clothes."

  "If Green knew she had gone to Song Chuning's place, she would be even angrier than me." Song Chuyi thought of Green and felt a little better, sighing: "Let's go to Old Lady's place, if we delay any longer it will be too late."

  Mrs. Song had indeed been waiting for her for a while and smiled when she saw her: "Why are you so late today, have you finished drinking the soup?"

  Song Chuyi nodded, and the little maids outside brought in a stream of dishes, filling the table to the brim.

  "Didn't you say last time that the spicy beef congee was delicious? Today I specially ordered the kitchen to make it, come and try some." Old Lady Song looked at Yushu as she ladled a bowl for her, while she herself took a sip of the eight-treasure congee that Yulan had prepared.

  The beef soup was simmered to perfection, tender and flavorful, with the added flavor of pearl rice stewed together. As she drank it, she could taste the medicinal flavor of dangshen and other herbs mixed with the beef, along with a hint of spiciness. Soon, a thin layer of sweat appeared on Song Chuyi's forehead.

  After breakfast was cleared away, Old Lady Song pulled Song Chu-yi to chat with her and brought up the matter of the eldest daughter of the British Duke's family getting married: "Originally I didn't want you to go, but they kept inviting us again and again, and also said that the county lady from the Zhen Nan Wang Fei's household was going, so we couldn't decline repeatedly."

  Song Chuyi knew that the British princess had recently been sending people to deliver invitations frequently, so she nodded.

  After gazing at her little granddaughter's face for a while, Old Lady Song saw that she was calm and couldn't help but feel uneasy in her heart. After deliberating for a long time, she patted her hand: "You're a clever child, now I don't have the face to say anything on your father's behalf, I can only hope he'll come around himself and make it up to you all properly in the future."

  Mrs. Song didn't speak up for Song Yi, and instead asked, "I heard Father wants to take Eighth Sister to the capital?"

  This thing can't be hidden, Old Lady Song nodded heavily: "Your father is really too muddled! Don't worry, your grandparents are still alive and won't let him act arbitrarily. If he insists on being stubborn and refuses to turn back, I'll even disown him as my son and send Xiaobao to the ancestral temple!"

  Song Chunin was only six years old and dared to let slaves commit murder and arson, who knows if she followed Song Yi to the appointment, would there be even more shocking behavior, if in the future she really did something wrong and harmed Song Yi or even harmed the Song family, that would truly be a regrettable mistake.

  After thinking about it all night, Old Lady Song became even more determined.

  Madam Song said her plan so frankly, Song Chuyi was moved and remained silent for a while before looking at Madam Song and saying in a low voice: "Grandma, I have something to tell you."

  It must have been San Niang's doing last night, Old Lady Song nodded, and Yulan, Yushu and others immediately dispersed. Even Huang Ayi also retreated.

  "Grandma, Su Lao Tai might have really placed a hot potato in our house." Song Chu-yi thought for a moment and briefly told Song Lao Tai about the things San Niang had entrusted to her: "Chen Jin-xin has something like this in his hands, no wonder Chen Xiang and the people from Zhen Nan Wang Fu came to our Bo Fu. Although we really didn't know before, others won't believe that we were just being kind-hearted. In other people's eyes, our Bo Fu is taking advantage of a good opportunity."

  I'm afraid Chen Xiang and others still think that Su Yi's downfall also has the mark of Bo Fu, no wonder Duan Wang became even more overbearing after the incident at Su Fu, it turns out that the main problem lies here.

  Mrs. Song felt a chill run down her spine and her scalp was slightly numb.

  The Marquess's mansion has always been unwilling to participate in party struggles, but now it seems that there is no choice but to take sides.

  "Third Daughter wants to use those letters to exchange for the safety of her daughter, I told her that we still need to discuss with you and grandfather, but in fact, there is no room for discussion." Song Chuyi calmly analyzed the current situation: "After all, they are guests in our mansion, and the things are all in our Bo Mansion. Even if we want to get rid of them, it's too late now."

  Mrs. Song felt some regret for having so readily agreed to Mrs. Su's entrustment of her orphan, and even more resentment towards Mrs. Su's concealment, and for a moment she couldn't say a word.

  This is no trivial matter, if things go wrong, the entire Bo Mansion might be dragged down.

  "Grandma." Song Chuyi held her hand and said softly, "You don't have to be too anxious either, Grandpa will think of a way."

  Mrs. Song nodded and finally couldn't help but let out a sigh, taking Song Chuyi's hand in hers: "Good child, thanks to you this time at the British Duke's Manor"

  "It's still going to go." Song Chuyi comforted the old lady: "I've already promised, there's no reason to regret it. Besides, with so many things happening recently, my fourth and fifth sisters rarely go out. Since the young master's wife is in such a hurry, I can take this opportunity to ask for some news."

  The back house has always been a good place to gather information, and since the British princess wants to take advantage of her, she can also use the same method to deal with her, to see if she can get some inside information from the other party.

  For example, when did Shen Xiaohai, a British public figure, start having connections with Duanduan Wang?

  Old Lady Song also knew that what she said was reasonable and did not object, but after all, she was still worried and sent Huang Nian to invite San Niang-----Now everyone thinks that the secret letter is in the hands of Bo Fu, so we can't take this risk for nothing. It's only safe to get it in hand first.

  "Right, Grandma." Song Chuyi remembered the purpose of today's visit and softly told her plans for Song Yan: "He's still young after all, and it's too far away, I'm not at ease either. There are a few empty houses in the garden, I think you can help me vacate two rooms"

  Old Lady Song shook her head: "I was just thinking about this, if you all move to the garden, it's not as good as going back to the main house of the second branch. Either way, it's empty."
