Mrs. Choi and others arrived at this sentence, smiled and stood up without hesitation, and said to the old lady: "Well, I'll wait for them to come. Now I want to go see Little Yi first. It's been three or four years since I saw her."

  The lady thought of what Song Chuyi had revealed about Li buying an assassin to kill her, and looked at the old lady with suspicion. In just one night, it was as if heaven and earth had turned upside down, and all sorts of news made people's eyes wide with wonder and exhausted from running around.

  Now Mrs. Cui is furious, if she hears about Song Chuyi being attacked, she will probably be even more enraged. If Mrs. Cui is really furious and submits a request to see the Emperor and Empress, and exposes this matter in front of them, things will get out of hand.

  Mrs. Song waved her hand wearily and motioned for the madam to take her away.

  In this situation, covering it up would only make the Bo Mansion more embarrassed and add to the Cui family's original resentment towards the Bo Mansion. It's better to lay it out in the open.

  It was the Li family who did this, and it wasn't the Bo Mansion. The Bo Mansion didn't need to take the blame for the Li family and bear the wrath of the Cui family.

  But at the same time, a huge sadness and unease also rose in her heart. If Cui's death was indeed as Madam Cui said, orchestrated by Li, then Song Yi would be hated by both Song Chuyi and Song Yan in the future.

  She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, utterly exhausted.

  The madam accompanied Cui's wife to the Baoge, but she knew the interest and did not follow her in. She just greeted Song Chuyi and smiled as she led the people out.

  Lin Hai's family servant came to ask, saying that he had heard news from the kitchen that guests were coming, and asked how to set up the banquet.

  Jin Huan Zheng replaced the big madam to rub her brow, hearing this somewhat displeasing remark from that old woman, she laughed: "Big sister, you said this, in our household whenever guests come there are set rules, following these rules to handle things isn't enough? Could it be that people come to find trouble, and we have to treat them as ancestors or something?"

  The old woman muttered and couldn't speak, smiled twice and nodded continuously.

  Jin Huan smiled again and turned his head to see that the eyes of the originally closed-eyed Madame had already opened, staring at him steadily, which made him take a fright.

  "It turns out that not only can I be in charge of this household, but even the maids under me can also give orders on how to entertain guests." The madam sneered: "Following old rules? Whose old rules are we following? Are we following the old rules of your servant Zhao or my late husband's wife's old rules? You'd better explain it clearly to me, so I can learn how to entertain guests properly!"

  "Mrs. Zhao was Song Ren's wet nurse, and the lady over there is the mother of the madam, Jin Huan felt her legs go weak and she knelt down on the ground, in a moment she was drenched with sweat: 'Madam, please spare my life, I also thought that Mrs. Cui came to our door looking for trouble'"

  "Foolish!" The Grand Lady gave her a cold glance: "Madam Cui is the Emperor's own niece, a princess with a fiefdom. Are you worthy of treating her lightly?! When the time comes and you offend our noble guest, how many lives do you have to pay with?!"

  She said, already impatient with Jin Huan's conversation, personally summoned the kitchen staff to discuss the menu.

  Although she had evidence and witnesses in her hands, Mrs. Cui was still a little worried, and she sighed with Song Chu-yi from time to time. She wasn't worried that the Bo Mansion would dare to favor Li's family, but rather how Song Chu-yi would conduct herself in the Bo Mansion in the future.

  Although Li is despicable and deserves to die a hundred times, this matter doesn't just involve her alone. Song Yi, who secretly colluded with her, also bears some responsibility.

  Although this man is despicable for his infidelity, he is after all the biological father of Song Chu-yi and her siblings. If this matter gets out, how can Song Yi later pretend to be a kind father in front of his children? How can Song Chu-yi and Song Yan forget that it was their father's affair with someone else that indirectly led to their mother's death?

  Song Chuyi knew what Mrs. Cui was worried about, and in fact, from the moment she discovered the clues, she had been thinking of a way out for herself and Song Xiang.

  So she meticulously helped Song Chengnu to share his worries, wholeheartedly helping the Song family to resolve various crises, mending her relationship with the eldest wife, and even managed to save Song Jue.

  Moreover, adding to her relationships with Zhou Weizhao and Ye Jingchuan, as well as this time's Tongzhou Tatar violent soldiers incident, it was enough for Song Chengyu to look at her in a new light.

  "Don't worry about me, Auntie." She shook off Mrs. Cui's hand: "I've long since not needed to rely on Father's favor to stand on my own two feet. As for Brother Yan, he doesn't need it either."

  As long as Song Yan is alive for one day, he will be the only and most legitimate heir of Song Yi for that one day.

  So saying, Mrs. Choi let out a deep sigh.

  She stroked Song Chuyi's head, and her heart surged again with anger towards the Li family - they must pay the price!

  The two had only spoken for a short while when Green Clothes came in and whispered: "Aunt, Miss, someone from the Li family has arrived."

  It was less than two hours in total, and Li's family came really quickly.

  Mrs. Choi tidied up her clothes, stood up and sneered coldly, beckoning her trusted maid Niu Mama to come over: "You go inform Master that the Li family has arrived."

  Mrs. Li scolded her daughter-in-law with a stern face and a hint of dissatisfaction, "Shut up!"

  Mrs. Li didn't eat, she still turned her head to look at her husband with dissatisfaction: "Your sister is spoiled by you, did I say wrong?! She even dares to do things like buying thugs and killing people, and you're thinking of how to help her get away with it! You are helping a tyrant!"

  Mr. Li's face was gloomy, and he let out a cold hum, causing everyone to shut their mouths before speaking in a low voice: "This isn't your own home, go back and lose face at your own place! The situation is still unclear, who says Jingyu is the one who bought an assassin? What crime have you convicted her of?"

  Mrs. Li coldly laughed and turned her head away, refusing to speak. Does this little girl dare to do such a thing as hiring thugs to kill someone? And yet, the old couple came with an air of seeking justice, it's really unknown how they will be slapped in the face in the future.

  Mrs. Li heard Mr. Li say so, and she felt a little guilty, hanging her head and coughing a few times. She only told her husband that their daughter was wronged, the Cui family bullied people with power, but didn't say they really bought thugs to assassinate Song Chu-yi in Tongzhou.

  But then she got tough again, and couldn't hold on anymore, so she pushed Li Gui and the others out to block for a while. First, take out Li Shi, and at worst, ask Old Master Li to plead with Old Master Song later. For now, just make the big things smaller and the small things disappear, that's the proper way.

  The Chui family actually came to Beijing just to stir up trouble? Old Lady Li sneered, deeply regretting not advising her daughter to drown Song Chuyi to death in the first place.
