The night sky was a deep shade of indigo, with countless stars twinkling on the celestial canvas. The lanterns in the Ningde Temple's corridor were all lit up, and jasmine petals danced in the air, carried by the breeze. From afar, the sea of flowers and the ocean of lights merged into a magnificent dragon, a breathtaking sight to behold.

  One... Reading books is like having a thousand eyes.

  Huang Niangniang stood in the corridor for a while, watching as several lanterns emerged from afar at the Baoge Pavilion. She smiled and lifted the curtain to enter, looking at Old Lady Song with a smile: "Look, they've arrived! You can't help but be impatient, Old Lady."

  Zi Yun has been increasingly favored by Song Chuyi recently, and she knows how to speak for Song Chuyi in front of Old Lady Song: "Didn't you always say that the sixth miss is a blessed person who only remembers kindness and not grievances? She's a good child, it's just that after all, it concerns her birth mother, and being concerned makes one muddled... You're her grandmother, can't you teach her well?"

  Song Chengnuo also said so, and Old Lady Song nodded with a smile.

  Before long, Yu Shu indeed smiled and lifted the curtain, reporting that Song Chuyi had arrived.

  It's been a while since she last saw her, and now that she has, she realizes that the little girl who used to have some baby fat on her face is now thin with almost no flesh left. Her originally pale complexion with a hint of redness now looks pale with a tinge of sallowness. Old Lady Song feels a pang in her heart - she must have suffered a lot of frights and grievances during that half month in Tongzhou, and then there's the matter with Li, not to mention how Song Yan almost scared her to death...

  Mrs. Song let out a deep sigh, suddenly feeling that her previous worries were completely unnecessary. She had thought she would be wary of Song Chuyi's intentions and defensive, but now, seeing this little granddaughter, all the resentment and self-pity in her heart turned to dust.

  "Come quickly..." Old Lady Song pulled her over to sit down, with a hint of worry: "How did you become so haggard? I've already sent someone to invite Dr. Sun to come and take a good look at you in two days' time. Although that mouthful of blood the other night was due to a sudden attack of anger, but for a child's family, it can't be taken lightly..."

  As she saw Song Chuyi hanging her head without speaking, she felt a little heartache and yet breathed a sigh of relief - it was normal to have resentment, but if one could immediately let go of all grievances, this kind of deep thinking would be frightening.

  "Are you blaming your grandmother?" Old Lady Song pulled her hand into hers, her tone somewhat subdued: "About Li's affair, you're right to blame me... At the time, I clearly knew she had a tarnished reputation and was involved with your father, yet I still let her marry in. And I left you for her to raise..."

  Song old lady was getting older, the wrinkles on her face looked even more aged at this moment, and with her white hair by her temples, it also made Song Chuyi feel a little heartbroken. She blinked once, forcing back the tears in her eyes, and gazed straight into Song old lady's eyes: "If I hadn't had that dream, I don't know what would have happened to me... Would I have been like in the dream, living a muddled life, offending you and grandfather, being disliked by father, forced to marry someone I didn't like at all..." A single tear finally fell from Song Chuyi's eye, her tone gradually becoming agitated: "Then watching my son die before my eyes but unable to do anything, handing over my husband and everything... Watching Yanyu be bullied to death... Grandmother, it's not that I intentionally resent you, but every time I think about your kindness to me being because of your guilt towards my mother, I don't know how to face my mother..."

  An eight-year-old girl, for more than half a month, has been shrouded in a dreamy haze. Although she clearly knows that the people around her do not have good intentions, she lives as if on thin ice, being extremely cautious and careful...

  Mrs. Song held her in her arms, gently patting her back as she used to when she was a child, and couldn't help but choke with sobs: "I know, Grandma owes you an apology for the past. But Xiaoyi, do you still remember what Grandma told you? No matter what happens in the future, think about what you have, don't always dwell on what you don't have?"

  Seeing Song Chuyi nod, Old Lady Song stroked her hair with a relieved expression: "It's inevitable that there are people who will wrong you in this world. You getting angry and seeking revenge is only natural. However, no matter what, don't let yourself get trapped in hatred and become the kind of person you originally despised... Your grandparents have been neglectful towards you in the past, making you bear the burden alone, so it's only natural that you would resent us... But believe your grandmother, if I had known back then that Li Shi was still connected to your mother's death, I would never have agreed to let her marry your father. Not only that, but I would have joined forces with the Cui family to seek justice for your mother!"

  A horse's strength is known by its long journey, a person's heart is seen over time.

  Song Chuyi is someone who knows good from bad. Old Lady Song believes that as long as she treats Song Chuyi with a true heart, she can make up for the estrangement of the past.

  Huang's aunt felt relieved and also a little comforted, and she couldn't help but wipe away the corners of her eyes.

  Song Chuyi nodded, suddenly remembering the purpose of this trip, and couldn't help but break the warmth between grandmother and grandson: "Right, Grandmother, this time the Princess of Zhen Nan Wang and the wife of the British Gong Shi Zi seemed to be overly enthusiastic towards me..."

  When it came to this matter, Old Lady Song also furrowed her brow: "Speaking of this, I also find it a bit strange. They are not only overly enthusiastic towards you, but also too passionate about the Su family's affairs."

  The Princess of Zhen Nan has always had a superficial relationship with the British Prince's wife, but this time they are surprisingly in perfect harmony, making one wonder.

  "The Su family was initially accused of colluding with external enemies......" Song Chuyi suddenly stood up, startled: "But I heard that even Chen Xiang couldn't verify this accusation. Since Old Lady Su could predict this disaster and went to the Ducha Yuan to report it in advance, asking for leniency for the weak women and other males of the Su family, it means she was already prepared. Could she have hidden something with Miss Chen?!"

  Mrs. Song was also startled by Song Chuyi's words, and then she trembled slightly ----- didn't the eldest daughter-in-law just find out that Mrs. Su went to Yu Jing Lou? Yu Jing Lou is Chen Xiang's property!

  Could it be that Old Lady Su actually harbors ill intentions towards the Song family and plans to frame them with these things?!

  But she immediately shook her head and rejected this possibility, if it were true, then Mrs. Su and Chen Xiang wouldn't have to go through so much trouble, they could just make a scene at the manor...

  Mrs. Song came back to herself: "But what does this have to do with you?"

  Song Chuyi was also puzzled, but she soon had a clue - the Su family, Xiao family and Fang Deng's affairs, plus the Tongzhou riot, all of these things actually vaguely showed Chen Xiang's shadow. Perhaps it was because he saw that each thing had its own participation, so what did Chen Xiang want to investigate?

  But what is it that Chen Xiang and the British Princess Consort and the Queen of Zhen Nan need together?

  She vaguely sensed that some crisis was approaching her, but where the crisis came from was still a bit unclear.
