Mrs. Song had been so disturbed by the Li family's affairs that she was already extremely annoyed. At this moment, facing Mrs. Su's unreasonable demands, her patience finally reached its limit. She glanced at the big madam beside her and ordered without looking at Mrs. Su: "Eldest daughter-in-law, go call San Niang from Chen Xiaojie's side."

  She had originally wanted to ask Chen Jinxin to come over and scold this heartless aunt. But she thought of Chen Jinxin's miserable situation and the promise she made to Old Lady Su, so she suppressed the evil fire in her heart.

  Mrs. Su just stood by and sneered coldly.

  Now that the Su family has fallen to the bottom, she no longer cares about reputation or dignity, only money is good. She used to despise Chen Jin Xin's parents for being orphaned and dependent on others, but now the substantial dowry beside Chen Jin Xin has become the lifeline of the Su family.

  No matter what, this trip must be successful. She took advantage of wiping away her tears to sneak a glance at Old Lady Song in front of her, and there wasn't much fear in her eyes - after all, she had already received news before coming that the Song family was also having a busy autumn, probably too busy to even wipe their own backsides, let alone have time to bother with their things.

  The third daughter-in-law walked in calmly, ignoring Mrs. Su beside her, and respectfully kowtowed to Old Lady Song and the Eldest Madam.

  "Your wife said that Miss Chen has a marriage agreement with the young master of her family and plans to take your daughter back." Old Lady Song lifted the lid of her cup, looking at San Niang's suddenly changed expression, saying: "What do you say?"

  Third Daughter bit her lower lip, resentfully tilted her head to glance at Madam Su, and sneered with a sharp smile: "In response to your words, Old Madam. Indeed, there was an engagement initially, but you said the families didn't match and it wouldn't be good for relatives to marry each other, so our family's old madam had already cancelled the engagement. She specifically instructed that in the future, our young lady's marriage would be handled by the Chen family's uncles and elders, with no further relation to the Su family."

  "You're talking nonsense!" Mrs. Su's face twisted in anger, taking a few steps forward as if she wanted to pounce on her: "The rice has already been cooked, how could the old lady possibly let someone from my Su family marry someone else?!"

  As expected, for the sake of money, they don't even care about their reputation. In that case, I'll just say it out loud without any reserve.

  Mrs. Song sneered: "If the first wife is saying this, then where are the marriage certificate and letter?"

  Mrs. Su was taken aback, her expression somewhat awkward.

  At first, the marriage certificate and the jade pendants exchanged by both parties were all available, but later on, I wanted to get rid of this marriage, so I tore up the marriage certificate and returned the jade pendants.

  Third Daughter interrupted: "I have Grandma's handwritten letter right here, it clearly states that my family's daughter's marriage will be handled by the Chen family in the future and has nothing to do with the Su family."

  Song old lady was also impatient to entangle with Su big lady again, and ordered someone to send the guest away.

  After they left, she looked at the madam again and sighed before instructing her: "Send someone to follow her and see where she goes."

  The madam looked puzzled.

  Mrs. Song, however, felt that something was amiss. This Mrs. Su was normally a person who knew how to observe people's words and expressions, and would curry favor with others. Such a person usually knew what was going on, so why would she suddenly come knocking on the door asking for dowry that she couldn't possibly get? Unless someone was behind it all, manipulating things from the middle.

  The Li mansion was shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere, and Mr. Li hastily rushed into the study, not even having time to clearly see his father's face, before hurriedly saying: "Father! Are you really planning on sending Mother to Cuiyun Temple? But that place is so austere, and with Mother's current condition, how can"

  Mr. Li gazed at the desk with a gloomy expression for a long time, then looked up and asked his son in a cold tone, "What do you want to do?"

  Can't things that have been settled between the Cui and Song families be changed just because someone says so? Not to mention whether the Song family will give up or not, the Cui family might really come knocking on their door.

  Mr. Li was somewhat anxious: "But that's really not a place for people to go, and besides, my sister is dead now, and my mother thinks the situation is very bad."

  "What's the big deal?!" Old Master Li slammed a book on the table: "She dared to do it back then, now she must dare to take responsibility! Or are you saying that neither you nor your children have any future?!

  Li Dage's eldest daughter is also twelve years old and will be ready for marriage after the New Year.

  Mr. Li sighed heavily and couldn't speak.

  "It's not even worth a child!" Old Master Li glared at him and said in a bad tone, "Write a note to the post station and ask them to send a letter to Changsha, it must be urgent!"

  Changsha? Should we send a letter to Song Yi? Li Da Lao Ye was somewhat flustered: "How can we write a letter to our brother-in-law now? If he finds out, he'll probably resent us too."

  "So hurry up!" Old Master Li impatiently interrupted his son: "It wasn't just your sister who could have done it back then, he should also take some responsibility. If he has a conscience, he would naturally know that the Songs and Chuis are unreasonable in blaming our family. The letter is with Li Er, you go quickly!"

  Mr. Li still didn't quite understand, but he didn't dare say any more and nodded hastily as he went out the door.

  Mr. Li stroked his beard and walked around the house for a while, then suddenly threw off his gloomy face and nodded with satisfaction, smiling.

  At first, I didn't expect that this granddaughter of mine would turn out to be so clever. With her mother's sudden death and the unexpected change in circumstances, she can still remain so calm, it's truly rare.

  Just thinking of the message brought by the servant earlier, he hesitated again.

  Is it too risky for Song Yuan to take action under current circumstances?

  But the granddaughter's plan seems to be very thorough, considering all the considerations that her mother and others are her daughter's confidants, who have helped to do many wrong things over the years. According to Song Chuning, take advantage of this opportunity to launch a surprise attack and get rid of Song Yan at the same time.

  He found it surprisingly difficult to make a decision and couldn't make up his mind even after walking back and forth for half a day.

  After thinking for half a day, he finally decided to let it go - if Song Chuning was really lucky enough to deal with Song Yan and retreat unscathed, that would be the best.

  If he failed, he closed his eyes. Anyway, the Li family's relatives in this mansion had already lost their reputation, and at worst, they would just have a falling out.

  Besides, Song Chuning is a member of the Song family after all. If he did something wrong, can't he just blame it on the Li family?

  Thinking of this, he stretched out his hand to ring the copper bell and called the butler in: "See that woman off properly and tell her to go back and advise the young lady to be more open-minded. Remind her that all things should be done with careful consideration. Also, give her some money to buy wine and remind her to be more cautious with her words when she gets back."

  Oh no, I forgot to set the timer correctly, and now I have to rush up here to change it. This is killing me!!! (．)
