Inside Story

  That night, Song Chuyi slept very soundly. Since her rebirth, she had finally accomplished the first thing she wanted to do, successfully getting rid of all the annoying flies around her.

  The next day when she woke up, the whole house was filled with joyful atmosphere. The maid in green helped her get dressed and then pushed open the window with a smile, exclaiming: "Miss, come quick! It's snowing outside again!"

  Song Chuyi looked out of the open window and saw a silver-coated white landscape outside. Qing Tao made her bed, and just as she was about to speak, she saw Green Clothes leaning against the windowsill, reaching for the frozen leaves on the tree outside, and couldn't help but say: "Be careful not to catch a cold..." As soon as she finished speaking, she secretly scolded herself for being too nosy. She had only just taken refuge with Song Chuyi, and Green Clothes Hongyu must still be full of vigilance towards her. At this moment, although she was kind-hearted, she feared that Green Clothes would misunderstand her intentions.

  Lu Yingying smiled and said, "What's there to be afraid of? I'm in good health, and I even went out to play in the snow with Hongyu before."

  Xu Ayi walked in with two large red lanterns, her eyes which usually held a hint of sadness were now filled with smiles. As soon as she entered the door, she laughed and said: "Early this morning I went to the warehouse to fetch these things, it was snowing heavily! But Third Young Master and Fourth Young Master didn't mind the cold, they're at the lake building a snowman, and from what I saw, it's quite impressive."

  As soon as Song Yu heard that Song Yun and Song Xuan were building a snowman by the lake, the smile on Song Chu's face deepened even more. She let out a heartfelt sigh and instructed the green-clad servant to fetch her cloak: "I'll go take a look at what they've built."

  After Song Yan returned, she hadn't had much contact with him yet. Now that the mole in the house has been taken care of, it's time to take care of the thorn by Song Yan's side.

  Auntie Xu hurriedly smiled and waved her hand: "You can't go, I just came back from Old Lady's place. The old lady told me to keep an eye on you at all costs, not allowing you to go to the lake with the young masters to cause trouble. She also told you to finish drinking your soup before going to the main courtyard."

  Hong Yu was already smiling as she held the green jade bowl in front of Song Chuyi, coughing a few times before bursting into laughter: "Today is pig liver soup..."

  Song Chuyi was most afraid of drinking this, and upon hearing it, her face scrunched up like a bitter melon. This caused Xu Mama and several maids to burst into loud laughter.

  After finishing the soup, she went to see Old Lady Song. Old Lady Song took her hand and felt its warmth, intentionally putting on a serious face and saying: "Have you finished drinking the soup? Don't secretly pour it away again."

  Those were things Song Chuyi would have done before her rebirth, and upon hearing this, she couldn't help but blush a little. She nodded like a chick pecking at grain: "I'll drink it, I'll drink it." After hesitating for a moment, she continued: "Can I not drink pig liver soup in the future? I'd rather drink... anyway..."

  "Ahah, this won't do, young lady! Drinking this will nourish your blood and bring many benefits in the future!"

  Mrs. Song also echoed what Old Lady Huang said, and then reached out to take a thin letter from the gold-plated box beside her and handed it over: "You take a look at this."

  Song Chuyi took a look and her face changed color.

  "Is this Old Lady Su's handwriting?" She was stunned for a moment, seemingly finding it somewhat unbelievable.

  Mrs. Song also sighed and said with emotion: "It's her handwriting, I've always said that as the lady of the house she is too weak, who knew she had such heroic courage to cut off her wrist, I underestimated her before."

  The letter says that Su Yi's crimes of colluding with external enemies, relying on power to bully people, etc., were all reported by her in the form of a memorial to the Ducha Yuan.

  Moreover, the letter specifically stated that after the Lantern Festival, she would go to deliver a folded paper to inform Su Yi of his unfilial behavior and remove him from the Su family register.

  "Grandma, I'm afraid this isn't a heroic sacrifice. Su Lao Tai Tai is abandoning the chariot to save the general, preserving the Su family's integrity."

  The room was suddenly quiet, and Song Chengnu suddenly walked out from behind the screen with a loud laugh, looking at Song Chuyi's eyes full of appreciation.

  "How did you come out of the kitchen?" Old Lady Song was also startled and scolded, "Didn't they say that today's annual gift would be distributed to the officials?"

  Song Chengnu took off his crane cloak and hung it on the rack, waving his hand with a smile: "Don't mention it, I let Wu Yuanyi, the head of the warehouse department, do this job. The Brocade Guard searched the Su family and the things they handed over didn't match the list, which is another troublesome thing. There's still work to be done after the New Year."

  Jinyiwei had been plagued by the problem of embezzlement since Chen Xiang took over as commander. No matter where they went to search for evidence, they would always take the opportunity to line their own pockets. At first, they would still try to maintain a semblance of propriety, but later on, they didn't even bother with superficial appearances. Their power and influence continued to grow, and no one dared to cross them.

  Song Chengnu said with a smile, "Xiao Yi, you just mentioned that Old Lady Su is like abandoning the chariot to save the general, what do you mean by that?"

  "When I went to the Su family, I heard Old Lady Su crying to my grandmother, saying that all the ancestral lands had been lost... It can be seen that the Su family's actions have been lawless for a long time, but Old Lady Su didn't show any dissatisfaction before. But when it seemed like everything was fine on the surface, she went to the imperial court and submitted a memorial to accuse her own son. This is really suspicious and makes one think deeply." Song Chu-yi's mouth curled up slightly: "Old Lady Su would go to great lengths to protect even an outsider granddaughter, I don't believe she would really just watch as her other grandchildren were beheaded. She must have discovered something else... for example, that Old Master Su had some connection with a certain prince and wanted to get involved in the court struggles."

  Mrs. Song was so shocked that she couldn't speak for a while.

  Song Chengnu nodded in agreement after a moment of contemplation: "Not impossible."

  He said that the batch of military salaries originally allocated to the Northwest Military Camp was almost robbed at Shizuishan. If it weren't for the soldiers escorting this batch of military salaries being loyal to Zhang Tianhe, this batch of military salaries might have fallen into someone else's hands. And in the letter sent by Zhang Tianhe, it was clearly emphasized that those who robbed the silver were all speaking Minnan dialect without exception.

  He thought for a moment and simply told Song Lao Tai Tai and Song Chuyi about this matter.

  Mrs. Song looked at Song Chuyi and exclaimed: "What a coincidence!"

  Song Cheng looked at her with some confusion.

  Madam Song told Old Master Song what Song Chuyi had heard at the Su residence, and in the end, she couldn't help but feel resentful towards the Su family: "I didn't expect that the Su family's ambitions would be so great, Su Yi's wild ambition is really too much."

  Song Cheng furrowed his brow and couldn't help but think of another matter, he asked Old Lady Song: "Everything was fine, why did you suddenly think of going to the Su's for a visit?"

  He remembered that Old Lady Song rarely went out to visit in recent years, and even if she had a good relationship with Old Lady Su, there was no need for her to go personally, at most she would just ask Madame to go.
