Song Chuyi sat in a rattan chair, the sunlight that spilled into the room from outside danced across her face, but failed to brighten up her complexion.

  Since the last life Song Chuning pointed at her nose and scolded her mother for being stupid, she had guessed some clues. After rebirth, she still remembered this matter.

  Song Yi is really too foolish, if he didn't do it so hastily, she wouldn't have discovered the cat's trick here so quickly. She was going to change her wet nurse for no good reason, who wouldn't be suspicious?

  It suddenly occurred to me that Old Lady Song would nod in agreement, and the distant mother-son relationship over the past seven or eight years was unusual, even a fool could sense something was off.

  The people serving beside Cui were all born in the Cui family, and their slave registers were also in Cui's hands. In theory, they should be treated as her dowry, and it would be impossible for her husband's family to touch them in order to avoid suspicion.

  But the Song family, who had always been strict and proper, unexpectedly made a move, risking a falling out with the Cui family. What does this show? It shows that there is something even more critical to be covered up, and propriety can no longer be considered.

  Knowing that Auntie Xu had already said everything, she nodded and began to instruct Auntie Xu on what to do after she left.

  Mrs. Xu initially felt reluctant and wronged, but after hearing the back, she couldn't help but widen her eyes, then straightened up and listened very seriously, word by word.

  At night, everyone who was waiting on the veranda heard the sound of the wind. Qing Tao was clever and knew what to ask and what not to ask, so she just continued doing her own thing as usual.

  Hongyu and Lüyi couldn't help but think of coming to Song Chuyi's place to plead for mercy. Even if they knew that Xu Ayi wasn't wronged and sent away, the separation and uncertain future still made people feel distressed.

  Qing Tao stopped them again, taking the risk of offending both of them, and sincerely expressed her own views. Finally, she sighed: "If there is still room for maneuver, can the young lady bear to watch the nanny being sent away? The most heart-wrenching thing now is probably the young lady herself. The two sisters should not go and make the young lady unhappy."

  Xu Ayi happened to come over to tell Qingtong and Hongyu about something, and upon hearing this, she couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. With a sigh, she looked at Qingtao with a smile: "Indeed, Miss is wise and discerning, you are truly good. I only hope that in the future, you will often bring these two maidservants along, although they are loyal, they can't compare to your cleverness and intelligence."

  Qing Tao's face turned red as she nodded.

  Madam Xü spoke with a heavy heart and instructed the three of them on what to do afterwards, and especially reminded them to be careful of the people who would come later, strictly preventing them from having any evil intentions.

  Lu Yun knew it was bad and repeatedly agreed, but her heart felt empty.

  Madam Xü comforted them a few words, the look of decline on her face also disappeared, and she carefully put away her own things, quickly going to Ning De Yuan to thank her.

  Mrs. Song felt better after a few days of rest and her spirits lifted greatly, she asked Xu Mama and Yan Yuese a few questions before letting them sit down.

  Xu Ayi still bowed her waist and humbly said she didn't dare.

  It was Song Lao Tai Tai who let out a sigh in her heart, feeling that it wasn't right to separate the mother and daughter. She asked Xu Mama a few questions, then said: "Don't worry too much, it's not because you did anything wrong, but also because there is a shortage of people on the other side of the village. Your husband is a good man, in the future you two will be fine outside, don't worry."

  Huang's wife also smiled and echoed, fearing that Xu's wife would ask for mercy.

  Xu Ayi knelt down firmly and looked at the old lady with a pleading face.

  Huang's mother thought she was going to plead for herself, so she hurriedly went to help her up, coaxing and persuading her with a smile: "This is great news, why aren't you getting up quickly?"

  Mrs. Song stared at her with an unfathomable gaze.

  "Old lady." Xu Ayi knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to Old Lady Song: "I dare not disobey your orders, I just don't feel at ease about Sixth Miss"

  Old Lady Song slowly waved her hand and Nanny Huang stopped moving.

  Yu Shu and Yu Lan have already taken the little maids out of the door in a line.

  Xu Ayi plucked up the courage to look into Old Lady Song's eyes, and pleaded sorrowfully: "A few days ago, Second Madam called me over alone, I knew then that I probably wouldn't be able to stay by Miss's side for much longer, just didn't think it would come so soon"

  Old Lady Song's heart skipped a beat, but her face remained expressionless. She nodded slightly to indicate that Xu Ayi should continue speaking.

  "The second mistress called me over the other day and asked if Miss had been acting strangely lately. Xu Ayi seemed to be recalling the scene carefully, her brow furrowed tightly: 'She said that Miss has been behaving abnormally recently, wondering if she might have provoked something unclean. She also called me over to ask in detail whether I had spoken any words that shouldn't be spoken in front of Miss.'"

  What is it that shouldn't be said? Old Lady Song's eyes flickered, and a wave of doubt rose in her heart.

  Mrs. Xu became more and more emotional as she spoke: "She also said that Huang Yao is very good, and in the future when going out, try to call Huang Yao to follow along, but Huang Yao is clearly not diligent in doing things."

  Huang Yao, Wang Nainai!

  Mrs. Song thought of these two bold and cunning underlings, and the fire in her heart gradually rose up.

  "The second mistress also strangely told me to keep a distance from Fourth Young Master and Sixth Miss"

  Huang's eyes widened, and her gaze at Xu was somewhat uneasy. Her granddaughter would follow Song Chuyi in the future, and Song Chuyi's future fate basically determined her granddaughter's life.

  "Ah? She said that Yan Ge should have less contact with Xiao Yi? Is there a reason?"

  "It's said that Sixth Miss is jealous because only Fourth Master was received by the Jin family, and Sixth Miss is very dissatisfied with Fourth Master in her heart." Xu Mama was somewhat indignant: "But Sixth Miss isn't like this now, she clearly doesn't have such thoughts"

  Old Lady Song certainly knew better than anyone else that Song Chuyi would never have such a muddled mind at this time.

  She gave a cold laugh.

  She said that Song Yi was suddenly having a tantrum, but it turned out that someone was using him as a knife to stab Song Chuyi.

  The resentment in her heart from that year had yet to dissipate, and now Li was coming at her with this again, truly making her feel extremely annoyed.

  Xu Ayi kept kowtowing to Old Lady Song: "I don't dare say that the second lady has any ill intentions, but she thinks our young lady is a bad old lady. Our young lady really is good, and her heart is not muddled."

  Mrs. Song's mind flashed back to the image of Song Chuyi, whose eyes were clear but slightly blurred with tears, yet still nodded understandingly. She also remembered how she had been reading books and coaxing herself to take medicine in front of her bed for the past few days, and her heart softened.

  A good man is easily deceived, and a fine horse is easily ridden.

  Even if she didn't care about Song Chuyi's reliance on her, she had to consider the late Cui Shi's face and take good care of this little girl.

  She coldly smiled and ordered the servant: "Go take a look if the first and second madams are in, tell them to come over and have dinner with me tonight."
