After all the calculations, it turned out that Song Chuyi was the one who benefited the most from the whole thing!

  The second lady had offended the first lady, and it would be difficult to settle yesterday's affairs with Huang Yao. For a time, she couldn't even attend to Song Chu-yi's matter.

  Qing Tao was shocked by his own thoughts and looked at Song Chuyi with fear.

  Song Chuyi had already turned around to look at her, a pair of shining eyes staring straight at her without any evasion, filled with inquiry and warning, making Qingtuo's heart feel anxious.

  Qing Tao involuntarily lowered his head, only feeling that Song Chuyi's gaze made people's hearts feel hairy, and his heart was jumping non-stop, almost knocking over the cup.

  Huang Yao, who had just made a big mistake yesterday, slipped in at this moment, calling out softly, "Miss," and twisting her hem: "Half an hour ago, someone came to report that the second master has already arrived at the dock. I suppose it's about time for him to enter the mansion now."

  In the past, because Huang Yao was clever, these eavesdropping tasks were all done by her. This time, although Song Chuyi didn't instruct her to do so, she went on her own anyway.

  Song Chuyi unexpectedly didn't give Huang Yao a hard time, instead she smiled happily: "I forgot to tell you, luckily you still remembered."

  She smiled sweetly, with two dimples on her cheeks appearing, making people can't help but relax.

  Huang Yao looked at her in surprise, saw that she was indeed smiling, and felt a little relieved. She leaned forward, pushed the green clothes aside, and flatteringly picked up a golden jade "Manchu" hairpin: "Miss, you're going to see the second master today, why not bring this along? This looks rich and beautiful on you, it's sure to outdo all the other girls. Even the second master and his wife, as well as Fourth Master, will be delighted."

  Song Chuyi glanced at her and nodded, then smiled: "You still know my preferences, later you and Qingtao will accompany me to welcome Father together."

  Huang Yao didn't expect that just going to inquire about a message would make Song Chuyi so happy, and even asked her to go with him to welcome Song Yi. She was so excited that she didn't know what to do for a moment, nodding repeatedly: "Yes, I'll always be with Miss!" On the side, she also made a face at the green-clothed girl in a provocative manner.

  Qing Tao felt a chill in her heart, and sweat broke out on her palms.

  Song Chuyi led them to the East Wing, where Li was already accompanied by several aunts and Song Chunying preparing to go out. Because of Song Yi's return today, she specially wore the popular peach blossom makeup in the capital, with a powdered face and peachy cheeks, tender and charming.

  Song Chuyi stepped forward and greeted her, Song Chunin rushed up and called out "Sister", as if with endless longing: "I wonder if Fourth Brother has grown taller now? Is he taller than me?"

  Song Chuning is only eleven months younger than Song Yan, and they are of the same age.

  Li looked at Song Chuyi's golden hair and smiled, "Look at these two little girls, instead of asking their father first, they're worried about Brother Yan."

  The aunts all smiled and said some auspicious words.

  It wasn't long before Su Zhi smiled and pushed open the door: "Madam, Second Master and Fourth Young Master have already gone to pay their respects to Old Madam and are now on their way to our quarters."

  Mrs. Li heard the words and hurriedly led everyone out of the door, just to see Song Yi leading a child who was about the same height as Song Chuning to the front. She quickly pulled the child's hand, smiled with a kind face, and asked with concern: "Are you used to taking the boat on the way? Are the attendants serving you wholeheartedly? Your mother has been worried about you for more than a year..."

  Instead, Song Yi was left aside.

  Song Chuning rushed up and hugged Song Yi, excitedly calling out "Father", while also pouting: "Mother only dotes on Fourth Brother and Sister, not me!"

  The little girl had two small braids, and her face was as delicate as a porcelain doll. Her big eyes were especially bright. Song Yi, despite being dusty and tired from his journey, couldn't help but break into a smile: "Your mother doesn't dote on you, but your father does! I brought back many gifts for you from Jinzhong, including a qin from Ziqiang Pavilion, a sandalwood desk, and..."

  Talking about this reminds me of my eldest daughter. I recall that at this time in the past, she should have rushed over already, and I couldn't help but look back.

  Song Chuyi left with him, nothing seemed different, yet somehow something was different ----- his appearance hadn't changed, his eyebrows and eyes were still the same, but his entire demeanor seemed to have undergone a metamorphosis. The arrogant and domineering aura that used to surround him had vanished completely, and he stood out in the crowd like a crane among chickens.

  He beckoned her over with a somewhat surprised expression: "Xiao Yi! Aren't you coming over yet?"

  Xiao Yi ah.......

  This is the only person who can call her nickname in this life and the next...

  Song Chuyu suppressed the sourness in her heart and went forward to pay respects to Song Yi with a proper demeanor.

  Her posture was even more beautiful and elegant than those county masters who had specially invited tutors to teach them etiquette, Li's residual light glanced at this scene, and the movement in her hand paused for a moment.

  Song Yi comforted them by stroking Song Chuyi's head, then took both of their hands: "Alright, don't stand in the wind, let's go inside first."

  Song Yi returned from his long journey and had to attend another family banquet at night, so Li called the aunts to disperse and sent a few children to warm up the room.

  Song Chuyi finally had the opportunity to take a closer look at her own younger brother.

  In her previous life, she devoted herself to Shen Qingran, and Song Yan stayed at his maternal grandparents' home for a longer period. The two had few opportunities to meet. However, Song Chuyi remembered that Song Yan was very clingy towards her. Perhaps because their mother passed away early, he went to live with his maternal grandparents due to lack of security, and when the children played games at home, he always carefully held onto her hem wanting to be on the same side as her...

  She thought of her miserable past with Song Xian, and then thought of the last time in her previous life when Song Xian came to see her with bloodshot eyes. She couldn't help but pull on Song Xian's hand, and her eyes welled up with tears.

  She had a lot to say, but these words would never be heard by Cui's family, she didn't dare let Song Yi hear them, and even less dared to tell others-----she wanted to say that she knew she was wrong, shouldn't have trusted her stepmother and stepsister, shouldn't have lowered herself to chase after a man who didn't like her at all, and especially shouldn't have ignored the brother who was originally closest to her in this world.

  But now, looking at Song Yan's clear and pure eyes without any impurities, she suddenly couldn't say a word.

  Luckily everything is still in time, luckily heaven gave her a second chance at life, these things won't happen again.

  Song Chuning's eyebrows slightly furrowed, and a vague premonition inexplicably rose in her heart.

  She always felt that her sixth sister was different ----- in just two days, she seemed to have a sense of propriety in her comings and goings, and her etiquette also seemed to be naturally understood.
