Mrs. Song had always been gentle with her daughters-in-law, rarely scolding them or making them follow rules, and even exempting them from morning and evening greetings if possible. She loved going online... This was the first time Li had lost face in all these years, just like last time when Wang and Huang caused trouble, and Mrs. Song had a big outburst.

  This time she was specially called over for dinner, and her heart was a little nervous, instinctively thinking of the things Song Yi said about Xu Ayi this morning.

  "Mom, don't be afraid. As our daughter said, Father's words are all in line with his usual behavior. Who would have thought that this was your idea? Even if someone did think of it, you just need to deny it and no one can prove otherwise. We should still try to be more confident."

  Yes, otherwise wouldn't she be the first to lose face? Li straightened her back and tidied herself up before taking Song Chuning out the door. She didn't want to bring her daughter along, fearing that Old Lady Song would have a fit and make a scene in front of her.

  Besides, Song Chuning's affection for Old Lady Song and the others is really too thin to be frightening. She wants her daughter to get closer to her mother who holds the real power, so she naturally doesn't want to deepen the estrangement between them.

  Song Chunin insisted on going, she was not nervous at all, and pulled Li's hand to swing for a while. Seeing her mother frowning with a look of being in a great danger, she couldn't help but smile: "Mother, don't be so tense as if you're about to go to the execution ground. Father is going out on an official trip, and Grandmother will probably just entrust you with taking good care of Father."

  Memories of her dreams flooded her mind wave after wave, and she was already familiar with what would happen next, not afraid in the slightest.

  She also felt a bit melancholic, although some small things were different from the story that happened in her dream, but the overall direction and outline remained unchanged.

  It's too boring for a person to experience almost two lifetimes of the same life. She let out a mature sigh, but then got excited again.

  It's true that life can be a bit dull, just like a dream. However, watching others fall down in the same place twice, being unlucky twice, and even repeating the tragic fate of their dreams for a lifetime is quite entertaining.

  Her big apricot eyes sparkled with cunning light, thinking of the miserable scene of Liu Si's fawning in front of her grandmother, and she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

  The Song Mansion was exceptionally beautiful at night, with lanterns hanging all over the long corridor, and a sea of lights stretching as far as the eye could see, alongside fragrant flowers and trees that brought joy to people.

  Li was so comforted by her daughter's antics that she smiled and pulled her almost-tripping daughter, softly scolding: "What are you doing running so fast? Be careful not to bump into the night-wandering spirits. Don't walk in the middle of the road, I'm afraid you'll run into the night-wandering spirits."

  Song Chunin shook her head in disagreement.

  Li shook her head helplessly and looked up to see Mrs. Zhang arriving at the same time, smiling and saying: "Sister-in-law arrived quite early."

  The elder lady had some reservations about the second lady since the incident with Wang Nang and Huang Yao, but upon hearing this, she smiled faintly: "It's not too late for you to arrive, Second Brother's wife."

  Song Chunin politely and appropriately went forward to greet Madame, with a sweet smile holding onto Madame's hand.

  The girls in the second house are really more and more likable, Jingle Bells exchanging a glance, unanimously admiring in their hearts.

  The madam couldn't bear to refuse the little kid, so she smiled and took Song Chuning's hand, entering Ningde Hall with the second madam.

  The old lady was laying out the meal here, and the two madams hurried forward to help with serving the dishes.

  Mrs. Song waved her hand in refusal, smiling as she invited the two to take a seat, and caught sight of Song Chuning out of the corner of her eye, momentarily stunned.

  Song Chunin rushed up laughing and hugged Old Lady Song, her round apricot eyes shining brightly: "Old lady, I also want to be like Sixth Sister, come and keep you company!"

  Pretty little girls are always likable, let alone the granddaughter of the same bloodline. Thinking of Song Chengnuo, who had always liked Song Chunü, Old Lady Song's face also broke into a smile, and she nodded warmly: "Good, as long as you're not afraid of boredom, come every day!"

  On the other hand, he signaled with his eyes for Yu Lan to take her away.

  Yu Lan smiled and came over to pull her: "A new Persian cat has been raised outside, with blue eyes, looking quite strange. I'll take the girl to see it."

  Song Chuning knew that this was something that couldn't be helped, so she obediently put on an innocent look and happily followed Yulan out the door.

  As soon as she left, the old lady turned her head and looked at the madam: "Is everything ready for Erniang's departure?"

  It was indeed about the second master's appointment, and Li's heart secretly let out a sigh of relief, and her smile also became more natural.

  The madam nodded hastily and said, "Three thousand taels of silver tickets have been prepared, which are from Dingfu Village. The silver numbers are distributed in various places, so it's convenient to use them. Three hundred taels of cash have also been prepared, and when the time comes, they will be placed on the horse carriage for emergency use. The people who followed had already sent three rooms of people ahead, and the remaining two rooms of people would be almost enough."

  Mrs. Song nodded, thought for a moment and looked at Li Shi, asking: "The aunt who followed you, have you prepared to call someone?"

  Li was taken aback and for a moment couldn't react.

  She doesn't have to host or serve her mother-in-law, according to the rules she should be accompanying him.

  The old lady saw that she hadn't responded for a long time and couldn't help but raise her voice to ask again.

  The madam also didn't show any unusual expression ----- Logically speaking, it would be best for Li to follow along, after all, when Song Er's husband goes out on official business, he should bring his wife along.

  Now it seems like Old Lady Song means to say that Li Shi shouldn't go?

  "Li's voice was urgent and slightly tearful: 'Wife... I thought you were following me...' "

  Old Lady Song shook her head, expressionless as she looked at her: "Your third brother has been released from the Da Tong Prefecture, and your third sister-in-law's health is not good, so she will have to follow him. At home, only your eldest sister-in-law and fifth sister are left, and when it comes time to take care of the fourth and fifth sisters' affairs, you'll be too busy to leave. You'd better stay at home and help out."

  What right does the third madam have to follow him up?! Li's heart was not convinced, and her questioning words almost burst out of her mouth. However, she still had a thread of rationality left, and she forcibly suppressed her indignation, nodding heavily.

  She can't afford to offend Old Lady Song, even Song Yi is extremely respectful to her. If she dares to provoke Old Lady Song, Old Master Song will dare to order Song Yi to send her back home for reflection.

  By this time, the elder lady had understood that the second lady must have offended the old lady somewhere. She symbolically said a few words of comfort to the second lady and stopped advising her.

  The second lady's face was ashen, the sorrow in her heart couldn't be suppressed no matter how hard she tried. As soon as she stepped out of the door, tears welled up in her eyes, and she didn't even notice Song Chu Ning, almost running back to her room.
