Song Chengnu was a seasoned veteran who had been through thick and thin, and he only took the time to drink a cup of tea before sorting out the ins and outs of the matter.

  "Girls of your age usually can't recover from such a nightmare for a while. There are many who have gone mad like the ninth daughter of Cheng Guo Gong. Your determination is actually frightening to me." He stared at Song Chu Yi, not missing any movement, and suddenly raised his voice to scold: "Could you be possessed by an evil spirit?!"

  Most people in Dazhou more or less believe in ghosts and gods, and Taoist nuns and Buddhist nuns often come and go in the backyard.

  Song Chu-yi let out a snort and knelt down on the ground again, looking up at Song Cheng-ju with a clear voice, completely unshaken by his anger: "I was also afraid before... I lay in bed for more than half a month, having the same dream every day. Later, I was really scared to death, so I mustered up the courage to tell my grandmother."

  She said, and then went on: "Grandfather, I have the same dream every day. The dream is long and terrifying, and I am deeply absorbed in it, following my own fate with surprise, worry, despair, as if I had already lived a whole life. After being afraid and sad, I find that there are no more emotions left to use..."

  Song Chengnu understood this feeling.

  This is also a good thing, he reached out to help Song Chuyi up, and his tone finally gradually warmed up: "Then why didn't you go find your father and mother first, but instead came to your grandmother's place?"

  Li's doting on Song Chuyi had reached the point of spoiling her, and even Song Chengyu, who had initially been skeptical of his intentions towards her, couldn't help but gradually dispel his doubts.

  Logically speaking, if Song Chuyi really felt that something was off, she should have gone to talk to Li first, after all, their relationship is like a biological mother and daughter.

  Song Chuyi's thick and dense eyelashes drooped down, covering the expression in her eyes. Her tone was flat: "The granddaughter just thinks... that grandparents like you won't think I've gone crazy and am talking nonsense. If I tell Mother, she can neither help me solve this nor will it add to her worries."

  Withdrawing and advancing with restraint, logic is clear. Indeed, it seems like she has been a national public lady for twenty years.

  Song Cheng's gloom in his heart dissipated a little, and he sighed before asking again: "Then did you know the cause of your elder brother's death in your dream?"

  Song Chuyi did not respond to Song Chengnu's words, but instead opened his mouth and asked: "Grandfather, is it true that the northwest military camp is making a fuss about military rations again this year, saying that someone has privately embezzled military supplies?"

  Song Chengnuo is really showing off this time.

  Old Lady Song also straightened her back with a serious expression and turned her head to see how Song Chengyu would respond.

  Song Chuyi lowered his head again, and his voice dropped a few degrees: "At first, everyone thought Brother's death was an accident, but later it was discovered that this was related to the Northwest Army's salary."

  Song Cheng's eyes sank, and he no longer had any doubts. After hearing this, he said, "You continue speaking."

  "In my dream, Brother was stabbed to death along with several other Feathered Forest Guards while they were scouting out the terrain. The killer was later caught and confessed that he was a deserter from the northwest-----they said that Grandfather had colluded with Commander-in-Chief Zhang Tianhe of the northwest to embezzle military funds, so they targeted Brother. Later, His Majesty ordered the Minister of Justice and the Supreme Court to jointly investigate this case, and the assassin really did produce letters bearing your seal."

  Someone was rushing straight towards the Song family!

  Mrs. Song inhaled a cold breath and blurted out: "Master!"

  Song Cheng's face also looked very bad, he nodded at Song Lao Tai Tai's comfort, and looked at Song Chuyi, saying: "And then?"

  "The case shocked the Emperor, who ordered the Three Departments to hold a joint trial and also summoned the Crown Prince to oversee the trial. Later..."

  "What happened afterwards?" The old lady saw her pause, with a heart hanging in her throat, almost jumping out.

  Song Chuyi took a deep breath: "Later, the crown prince was assassinated. On the way to Shuntian Prefecture..."

  Song Chengru's face finally changed color, and he crushed a cup in his hand.

  He got up somewhat restlessly and paced back and forth in the room.

  All this must not be a coincidence, it's really someone who has ideas about Song's family.

  Song Chengnu wanted to ask again, but Huang's mother came out and said: "Old Master, Old Madam, several ladies from outside have arrived... The young master and the second, third and fifth masters also sent word saying they would come a bit later."

  Several old men probably heard that the old lady was also there and came to pay their respects.

  It's better to stop here on this topic.

  Old Lady Song immediately forced a smile, pulled Song Chuyi into her arms and said: "Quickly come in!"

  "On the other hand, he asked Song Chengnu: 'Are you having a meal here or setting up another table in the outer hall with those few brothers?'"

  While speaking, Mrs. Wang had already led several sisters-in-law into the room and they hastily paid their respects to Old Master Song.

  Mr. Song sat still and said, "Since everyone is here, let's just have it here, it's also cheaper. We're all family members, no need to be polite, let's just celebrate the New Year together."

  The lady heard this, and hurriedly got up with a smile: "Since father said so, the daughter-in-law will go down to arrange first. The Zhuangzi sent a batch of brocade chickens just the other day, and it's said that stewing them with mushrooms is extremely delicious, and not a bit of fat can be seen."

  She has always been steady in doing things, and Old Lady Song nodded when she heard this.

  "After some thought, he said: 'Tell your sister-in-law to bring the girls over. Since it's a supplementary New Year's celebration, of course, it's better for the whole family to be together.'"

  The crown prince's wife hastily agreed and left.

  Li looked at Song Chuyi leaning in Mrs. Song's arms and smiled: "Little Liu'er just came over today, and Mother thought about it but didn't know what to give you." She then took a gold-decorated box from her mother's hand: "There is a square inkstone inside, which was given to me by your paternal grandmother as part of my dowry. I'll just give it to you now."

  Song Chuyi hastily thanked him and took it, handing it over to Huang Yao beside her.

  Who would have thought that it was handed over to the air, and it was unknown whether Huang Yao didn't catch it steadily or Song Chuyi withdrew his hand too quickly. The box fell to the ground with a thud, and the inkstone rolled on the square brick floor for several times before splitting into several pieces.

  Everyone was stunned.

  Huang Yao seemed extremely shocked and wronged, staring at Song Chuyi in disbelief, trembling with fear as she knelt down on the ground, hastily crying out for mercy.

  Song Chengru and Old Lady Song had been in a bad mood after hearing Song Chuyi's words, and now they looked even more unpleasant with her crying.

  "What's wrong?!" Old Lady Song frowned: "How can't you even handle such a small matter?"

  It's okay if it's not done well, but judging from his face, he still seems quite resentful and unwilling to accept it.

  Mrs. Song was somewhat dissatisfied.
