Old Lady Song soon fixed a date and decided that the day for moving Song Chuyi to Ningde Hall would be on the twenty-seventh of the twelfth lunar month.

  Watching the recent closure, there is a lot of work to be done at the Ministry of Revenue. The military needs in the northwest have been reported again, and the household registration book that is updated every ten years also needs to be re-registered and re-created. Song Chengru was almost busy every day, with his feet not touching the ground.

  It was easy to take a break, and then I heard Old Lady Song directing people to arrange the small pavilion in Ningde Garden. She raised an eyebrow: "Why are you suddenly taking care of this kind of thing?"

  Since Song Lin Cang, Old Lady Song has only taught and brought up one person, Song Chu Chen. That was because she knew that Song Chu Chen would definitely enter the palace, so she had to muster her spirits to guide him. Now when Old Lady Song mentions teaching and bringing up Song Chu Yi, he feels a bit strange.

  Old Lady Song gave him a displeased look: "I sent someone to the study to inform you of this a few days ago, I suppose you didn't take it to heart."

  Song Chengnu smiled: "You're not unaware of how many things I've had on my hands lately. The other day, I was discussing the northwest situation with Wu Yuan, the head of the warehouse department, all night long. As for these family matters, I really don't know anything about them."

  Mrs. Song nodded with a smile, following his words: "I think Xiao Yi is very likable. She's small but has her own way of dealing with people and things, and it's rare to see someone so calm and composed at such a young age. I haven't seen a child as outstanding as her in many years. Keeping her by my side makes life more enjoyable."

  I didn't know Song Chuyi had these good qualities before, but being prone to trouble is indeed true. Didn't she just have a dispute with Mimi the other day?

  Because of the family's history of disputes over property and demotion, Song Chengru attaches great importance to family traditions. Since he found out that these two young girls actually fought each other without regard for their sisterly relationship, he has been displeased with them in his heart.

  At this time, when he heard Mrs. Song mention these good points about Song Chuyi, he shook his head in disbelief: "Don't deceive me. I'm afraid you've seen that she's not like her usual self when crying and making a fuss, so you want to personally discipline her?"

  Men generally don't interfere with household matters, and over the years of observation, he thought Li was a good stepmother, treating the children left behind by his first wife well enough. It's just that Song Chuyi has a bad temper and is too spoiled, being pampered rotten.

  In such a situation, Li Shi, as a stepmother, found it difficult to discipline her strictly, so she had to come to Song Lao Tai Tai's place and ask her to help with the discipline, which is also normal.

  Old Lady Song made no comment, and instructed Mother Huang to bring up Song Chuyi.

  As soon as Song Chuyi entered the door, Song Chengyu's eyes naturally turned to her. She was wearing a duck egg blue jacket today, with a frost-colored pleated skirt tied underneath. Although she had not yet grown up and was still small in stature, her eyes were like two black grapes floating in clear water, shining brightly and transparently, with the corners of her eyes slightly raised, making people forget their worries when they saw her, and her whole person looked elegant and refined.

  It's really different from before, it's not about dressing up, the whole person's temperament is different. Song Chengru saw it at a glance, and his eyes deepened a few shades.

  Song Chuyi stepped forward to pay her respects and performed the rituals with ease, her movements as smooth and natural as they had been over the past few days.

  Song Chengnu was very strict in teaching his children, even if it was the future Empress Song before she married into the imperial family. She always felt a bit tense in front of him. However, he did not expect that this seven-year-old little girl could remain calm and composed, performing the rituals with precision, her face serene and her eyes steady, unlike before when her eyes would dart around, adding to her frivolous air.

  He couldn't help but feel a little satisfied, and nodded: "Xiao Liu'er, from now on you'll be living with your grandmother. Your grandmother's place is stricter than anywhere else, can you handle it?"

  Song Chuyi understood in her heart that she had to get past Song Chengnu's test, and only then could she truly grasp the support of Old Lady Song. Upon hearing this, she nodded heavily, her gaze firmly fixed on Song Chengnu: "Without rules, there is no square inch, Xiaoliu will learn etiquette from Grandmother from now on."

  Mrs. Song was very pleased and smiled as she pulled her over to sit beside her.

  Since he had been in a high position, Song Chengnuo had rarely seen young nephews and nieces dare to look directly into his eyes like this.

  After a brief moment of confusion, he knew that the old lady had probably really picked up a treasure this time. He laughed and said: "Then you must remember what you just said, your mother came from a noble family, etiquette and manners are all top-notch, you can't fall behind!"

  Old Lady Song then told Yu Shu and Yu Lan, "Today is the sixth young lady's move, you two go to each room to inform everyone, tell them all to come to Ning De Yuan for dinner, also to celebrate the sixth young lady's happiness!"

  Yu Shu and Yu Lan both smiled and nodded in agreement, then led the person away.

  Only Huang Mama and Xu Mama were left in the house, and the old lady also found an excuse to drive them out. She then turned to Song Chengyu: "Does Master still remember what happened when the Chengguo Gong Mansion was exterminated?"

  Song Chengru was startled, took a glance at Song Chuyi who was hanging her head, and felt inexplicably puzzled as to why Old Lady Song had brought up this matter in front of her. However, having been married to Old Lady Song for so many years, he naturally knew what kind of person she was, so he nodded and said: "Of course I remember. At that time, their family's little Ninth was going crazy, saying that she had dreamed that the Chengguo Gong Fu was on fire......and it even reached the Empress Dowager."

  The capital is in an uproar, everyone says that Ninth Miss has been possessed by evil spirits.

  At that time, Song Chengnu and Old Lady Song were not at peace in their hearts ----- At that time, it was already a time of great turmoil, and the family of Cheng Guogong were all supporters of the current Emperor Taizong.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, later the Thai king was exiled, and the entire family of Cheng Guogong perished in a sea of flames. Except for one Wang Jinsi who was protected by the empress dowager, not a single person from Cheng Guogong's household survived.

  "Xiao Yi has been having a lot of dreams lately," said Old Lady Song, her voice slowing down and lowering: "The omens aren't very good, I'm a bit worried. Since you have time today, let's go take a look together."

  Song Chengru's face didn't change much, but the atmosphere in the room suddenly turned cold, so quiet that even breathing could be heard.

  Song Chuyi knew that Song Chengnuo was probably already suspicious of her pretending to be a ghost, and if she didn't explain herself, all her previous efforts would be in vain.

  She took a deep breath and knelt down in front of Song Chengyu, repeating what she had said to Old Lady Song earlier.

  It's just that the focus is different.

  When talking to the old lady, the focus was on Shen Qing's unfortunate marriage, and she mentioned her own future sufferings. This was to plant a seed of doubt in the old lady's mind about Li Shi.

  Now in front of Song Chengnuo, she said more about what happened to the Song family afterwards.

  She heard that Song Jue died in the hunting grounds, Song Lin Cang also died of illness, and when the noble consort in the palace was pregnant with a child who died suddenly, Song Cheng Rou's face had already turned iron green.

  This absolutely wouldn't be something Song Chuyi would come up with! Song Chengyu knew in her heart that a little girl absolutely couldn't have the ability to come up with such words.
