Song old lady under Yu Shus service finished taking the medicine, slightly frowned and asked: "Have you gone to the ancestral hall?"

  The old womans face showed some sorrow, and she nodded: "Thats right, I knelt in the temple for half a day, and cried for half a day. Even the old slave watching felt heartbroken."

  Mrs. Song hesitated for a moment.

  The wife of Lao Er is a perfect one, from a prestigious family, with a poetic and book-loving background. Whats rare is that she has a very good heart and a gentle temperament. She gave birth to a son and a daughter for Lao Er in just three years after marriage.

  At first, in order to marry Cui Shi, it was Old Master who personally went to invite the matchmaker.

  Unfortunately, she was frail and died soon after giving birth to Song Yan.

  All these years, she has been doting on the two siblings, Song Chuyi and Song Xiang, a little more than others. Who would have thought that this young sixth master, who looks so clever, is actually heartless.

  Who treats her well and who doesnt, its all indistinguishable.

  As time went on, Mrs. Songs patience was gradually worn down.

  Chois feelings were deep, but they couldnt withstand such grinding.

  After all, the current second wife Li is also her daughter-in-law, and the children she gave birth to are also the sons and daughters of the Song family.

  It is now said that Song Chuyi actually cried in front of Cuis memorial tablet, and Old Lady Song was shocked.

  Just then, the Lao San family started making a fuss, and Song Chuyi didnt see any high-pitched arguments-----but this matter, it was clear that she was in the right. Song Chumi was older than her, and hitting the younger one was wrong, let alone almost losing her life due to illness. If it were a month ago, as soon as Song Chuyi woke up, the first thing she would do would be to rush to Ning Des courtyard to make a big fuss.

  After being ill for a while, it seems like ones temperament has also changed somehow?

  "Jieyi, dont you think Liu Jie has changed a bit?" Old Lady Song asked casually while watching the maids chatting under the corridor.

  Jieyi is Huangs style name.

  She thought for a moment, nodded and said: "It has changed somewhat. Sixth Misss heart is good, its just that her temper is a bit impatient, now if she can change this impatient temper, it would be a great thing."

  After all, with the blood of Cuis daughter, she looks extremely good, although she is only seven years old, round and plump, but her eyebrows and eyes are delicate, smiling like a crescent moon in the sky, making people cant help but feel happy when looking at her.

  In the Great Zhou Dynasty, because of the fact that a female emperor had once appeared, girls status was not low at all. Before marriage, they were even more pampered in their parents home, and were raised with great care and respect.

  Song Chuyi, being born of the Cui family, had the bloodline of Boling Cui and had lost her mother since childhood. Therefore, she was even more favored by the old lady and was spoiled to the point of being unbearable - every day picking faults and scolding people, making everyone dislike her.

  The old lady pitied her but didnt want to raise an ignorant and foolish girl who didnt know etiquette or how to advance or retreat.

  Such a dignified and prosperous family has etiquette as its top priority, and family tradition is more important than anything else.

  Thinking of the person who had offended Song Chuyi when she went out recently, Old Lady Song narrowed her eyes and said lightly, "Lets see."

  I hope Xiaoliu has really become sensible, otherwise...

  Whats on Old Lady Songs mind now, Song Chuyi can probably guess most of it.

  In her past life, she was blinded by infatuation, and all her thoughts were focused on one man. She didnt care about family honor or the relationships with her relatives at all.

  Now reborn in this life, Ive come to realize that nothing will be yours forever. If you dont learn to cherish them, youll eventually lose everything.

  For example, the old ladys blessing and fathers favoritism.

  But these things she didnt take to heart in her previous life, until she got married and went to her husbands home, only then did she realize how important the support from her natal family and dowry were.

  She didnt know why she could relive her life again, but since she had this chance to relive, she would live a good life and get everything she couldnt get in her previous life.

  And the first step is to find a backer.

  Stepmother Li is absolutely impossible, in the previous life it was Li and Song Chunings sugar-coated cannonball that blew her to pieces. And her own father cant be said to be completely reliable ----- generally speaking, the old ladies who have been discussing behind their backs have some reason to say that having a stepmother also means having a stepfather.

  She is his daughter, but Song Chuning is also his daughter.

  She remembered that when she was ill, Song Yi had also been worried, but couldnt forget that Lis family had ruined her under his own eyes.

  In the blink of an eye, she had already entered the main courtyard of the second house.

  The two houses are now living in a small courtyard with two entrances, the front is Song Yis study, the back main house is Li Shis residence, and the two sisters live on both sides of the courtyard.

  Mrs. Xü had long been waiting outside the door, stretching her neck to wait for her. Seeing her return, she first let out a sigh of relief, holding her and looking left and right, then touched her hand warmth, before smiling: "Lets go back inside and change our coats, and go pay respects to Madam."

  Song Chuyi nodded, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw Qing Tao and Hong Yu coming to greet her, but Huang Yao, who was originally following her, had disappeared without a trace.

  She slightly curled up her lips in a cold smile, changed her clothes and went back to the main house.

  Li was leaning on the couch drinking tea, under which a row of chairs were covered with half-old gray squirrel skin, and several aunts were sitting on them chatting. She wore a stone-green jacket with a clasp today, under which was a pinkish-red horse-face skirt, and her ears were adorned with two round and lustrous pale green pearls, looking extremely elegant and noble.

  Song Chuyu calmed down for a moment and went forward to pay respects to Mrs. Li.

  Before she could even make a bow, Li had already sat up straight and called out loudly. Su Zhi, who was serving beside her, also quickly came to support Song Chu-yi, smiling and saying: "Its clear that youre better now, Miss. Your complexion looks good today."

  Li smiled and beckoned, intimately pulling Song Chuyi to sit beside her, personally adjusting her collar. After glancing around for a while, she laughed: "Your complexion indeed looks much better." She also reminded her: "In the future, you must be careful not to get sick again, would that be fun?"

  Saying that, she didnt wait for Song Chuyi to speak and earnestly advised: "This time, both you and your eighth sister did wrong. She shouldnt have cried and lost her composure after suffering grievances, nor should she have instigated you to offend your fourth sister. Youre the same, even if you listened to her words, you should have come to tell me first, not fought with your fourth sister."

  Completely different from what was said in the previous life.

  Several aunties smiled and accepted it, but no one dared to respond.

  Song Chuyis temperament is eccentric and unpredictable, one never knows which sentence will offend her, so theyd rather all keep their mouths shut and pretend to be mute.

  The house suddenly became quiet like this.

  Li saw that Song Chuyi did not retort back, and her suspicions grew. However, she didnt show it on her face and smiled: "Why arent you speaking? I suppose you think your mother is wrong and are too proud to admit it?"

  Song Chuyi thought she was still useless, while Li Shi was obviously a personal genius who knew what to say and when to achieve the greatest effect. If she had made a fuss in Old Ladys room that morning, Li Shi would have followed her lead as before, echoing her words, praising her for being loyal and righteous, letting her thoroughly offend the Third House and disappoint Old Lady.

  But this time she didnt make a fuss, so Li just said some comforting words to calm herself down.

  Mr. Li hadnt heard Song Chuyi say a word for half a day, but he wasnt angry either. Instead, he chuckled softly and sighed: "Youre really a silly child. Im saying this for your own good, but youre still sulking with me. If your father knew about it, he would blame me again for not teaching you well. When can you make me worry less?"

  She said with a smile, looking at Su Wen, "You go and pack the cloud cake and jade dumplings that were just made this morning, and Sixth Miss will take them back later."

  Su Wen smiled and replied, carefully observing Song Chuyis expression for a while, seeing nothing out of the ordinary, before saying: "This cloud-shaped pastry was personally made by the madam, and only a few plates were yielded in total. Except for those sent to the elderly lady and a few other ladies, only this one plate is left, which was specially reserved for Sixth Miss. Even Eighth Miss didnt get any."

  The Li familys superficial work is always done so well, treating the children left behind by their original partner with kindness and gentleness, even better than their own flesh and blood. In the previous life and later on, they became famous for their virtues and became a model for the noble women of the capital city.

  But only Song Chuyi understood that this kindness was wrapped in honeyed poison.

  After finishing speaking, Li ordered Su Xiang to take Song Chuyi to play in the east wing.

  Dong Kuan Hall was the residence of Song Chuning, although small, it had all the necessary facilities. A small corridor connected to the main hall of the Li family, and osmanthus trees were planted on both sides of the long corridor, which emitted a fragrance that wafted for miles every August.

  As soon as she entered the door, Song Chuying quickly rushed over and hugged Song Chuyu tightly, scolding: "Sixth sister, youve recovered from your illness but didnt even tell me? If you had told me and mother, we would have invited you to pay our respects together."

  If you have a heart, do you still need to be told? Living in the same house, who can deceive about whats good or bad? Li brought Song Chuying to pay her respects early, just to avoid possible disputes between the three houses and Song Chuyu.

  "Only this morning I felt a bit better." Song Chuyi smiled as she looked at the delicate and refined Song Chunying, still holding her hand intimately as usual: "Xu Mama asked someone to ask, only then did we know that Mother had gone with you to pay respects earlier. We were going to follow later, but didnt expect you would have returned by then."

  "Third Aunt has been talking bad about you to Grandma, and Mom argued with her for a couple of sentences, but was scolded by Grandma." Song Chunin pouted, looking like a plump little bun: "She stayed angry, so Mom took me and left first."

  Five-year-old Song Chuning spoke clearly and logically, like a canary, with a soft and pleasant voice.

  In her past life, Song Chuyi was already speaking at the age of five, and by ten years old, she was probably better than most people.

  Although in her previous life Song Chuying repeatedly said that it was because she snatched Shen Qingyans chance, making him hate her to the bone, Song Chuyu felt that it wasnt that simple.

  They got along as well as biological sisters, and even better than biological sisters. The ill-tempered Song Chuyi had always been accommodating to Song Chuning whenever she asked for something.

  As long as Song Chuning mentions a single sentence, even if its just one sentence that she likes Shen Qinglai or has intentions towards him, Song Chuyu will no longer be able to continue pestering Shen Qinglai, their feelings run deep.

  Instead of stopping her, they let her continue to fly towards the flame...
