Huang's mother immediately knew she was thinking wrongly, and with a mix of anger and amusement, patted her hand: "Big sister, in the future, Sixth Miss will move to live with Old Lady! This is good news!"
A loud thunderclap shook the air, and at this moment everyone was truly as if struck by lightning.
Wang's face, which had been as stiff as tree bark, finally couldn't maintain its original expression any longer, and his eyes almost bulged out.
Huang Yao's face turned even paler, and cold sweat on his forehead dripped down to the ground through his hair.
Xu's mother slowly came back to her senses and looked at Song Chuyi in confusion.
Huang's mother was overjoyed, and with a smile all over her face, she called out to Xu's mother: "Quickly get Sixth Miss's things in order. Tomorrow Old Lady will look at the almanac, choose a good day, and then we can move first."
The wind blows the fallen flowers through the corridor, and the painted eyebrow bird hanging under the eaves flaps its wings and cries out in disorder, disturbing Huang Yao's heart. Just as she was about to serve Song Chuyi after she fell asleep, Wang Yiniang came knocking on her door again.
She rushed to the Zhengyuan with a nervous heart, and her face was slightly pale. Recently, it's really an unlucky year. Originally, I thought that Song Chuyi would definitely not be able to get away with it this time, but who would have thought that this Sixth Miss had such good luck since she got sick? Not only did she manage to escape again, but she even got the old lady to personally take care of her, which is a great thing.
She thought of Song Chuning, who was also a legitimate child, and her back teeth felt a bit sour.
Her parents were both born in the Bo Mansion, and at first they sent her to the second house as a servant, thinking that she could climb up to Song Chuying's high branch. Who knew that Song Chuying didn't take a liking to her, but Li Shi did, and had her sent to Song Chuyu's side.
Since childhood, she had been exposed to the affairs between the back house of Bo's mansion and naturally knew that Song Chuyi was not a good master-----losing her mother at a young age, with her maternal family far away, and adding a stepmother who was also from a prestigious family, what future could she have?
So Li slightly pouted at her and she was moved.
In fact, she had always done well in secret, Song Chuyi treated her better than Luoyi and Hongyu, with good food and clothes, she never forgot to give her a share. Li Shi also didn't forget to often give her some small favors, recently even promising her that in the future she could go to Song Chunin's house as a senior maid...
But who would have thought that she took advantage of the chaos to push Song Chuyi, thinking that Song Chuyi would fall into despair, but instead, Song Chuyi started to get lucky!
What bad luck! She cursed in her heart and stood trembling under Li's gaze.
"Come and tell me what's going on." Li sat on the soft couch, looking at her with a calm expression, no anger, even a hint of a smile, but inexplicably making one's back feel cold: "How is it that in the blink of an eye, Sixth Miss will be moving to Ningde Hall?"
Huang Yao was so frightened that her soul almost left her body, and she knelt heavily on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly: "Madam, spare my life! I really did it according to what Mother Yu said, and Sixth Miss also obediently went to make trouble with Fifth Madam... It's just that later..."
Mr. Li glanced at her and calmly responded with a gentle "uh-huh".
"What happened afterwards?"
Huang Yao didn't know why, but she felt a chill run down her spine and shivered before hastily saying: "As for what happened later, I'm not quite clear about it. I had just entered the old lady's courtyard when I was chased out by Yu Shu and the others... All I heard was that Sixth Miss was being punished, but I don't know why things suddenly turned out this way."
Li's eyebrows were tightly furrowed as he looked at his mother with a serious expression: "This is a disaster, it can't be kept!"
Originally wanted to wait until leaving Beifu to handle her, now it seems that won't work.
The old lady actually planned to bring Song Chuyi up herself, this is slapping her own face as a stepmother!
She has been virtuous and gentle for more than five years, and can be said to have taken good care of Song Chuyi in every way. Who wouldn't praise her? If this matter gets out, what will others think of her?!
Huang Yao had already broken out in a cold sweat on his back, his head hung low and trembling, without uttering a word.
Having heard Li's secret plan, she couldn't escape even if she wanted to.
The madam was also quite surprised when she heard it, and turned to ask Jinling, the big girl who followed her: "You didn't hear wrong, did you? Maybe he just went to stay with his old mother for a few days to recover from his illness?"
"How could a servant like me mishear?" Jin Ling stepped forward to remove the silver hairpin from Madame's hair, smiling: "This Sixth Miss is really... lucky in her foolishness."
Jinling is the confidante of the madam and speaks without reserve.
The lady couldn't help but laugh this time.
Really?
That child is more clever than anyone else these days.
What kind of person is the old lady? Born noble and advanced in age, the old feudal lord has always liked clever girls. How can a foolish person get any benefit from her?
It's worth noting that in nearly thirty years, there have only been two girls who received personal guidance from Old Lady Song: one is her own biological daughter, Song Linchuang, and the other is the eldest granddaughter of the Bo Mansion, Madam's own daughter, Song Chuyan. Apart from these two, although Old Lady Song also doted on her granddaughters, she had never raised any girls before. This was a unprecedented favoritism.
"What great fortune it is for her to be personally raised by the old lady!" The madam sighed with emotion.
Jinling took all of Madame Wang's hairpins and handed them to Jinlian. As she helped Madame Wang wipe her face with a damp handkerchief, she smiled slyly and said: "Who knows if this reckless Sixth Miss will offend the old lady again tomorrow and be driven out? She is usually so impulsive that it's frightening. The old lady may have been taken in by her novelty at first, but soon she'll find Sixth Miss too garrulous. Besides, I'm afraid our Second Mistress won't be pleased either."
If the second wife is unhappy, she will definitely find a way to vent her anger. It's easy for a stepmother to bully the children of her predecessor.
Of course, if this Sixth Miss could hold onto Old Lady's thigh for a long time, it would be different, but Jin Ling didn't think that was possible.
Jin Ling hasn't followed the madam out recently, and she wasn't there today either. Naturally, she didn't know that Song Chuyi was different from before. She relied on the fact that Song Chuyi had bitten the fifth wife to think that Song Chuyi was still the same old firecracker who could explode with just a few words of provocation.
Qiu's mother looked at the madam and hesitated: "It's not entirely like that... I think Sixth Miss is quite experienced in her actions today."
The madam's mind moved slightly, and she nodded at Mrs. Qiu.
To be honest, even she herself didn't have the ability to escape unscathed from Old Lady Song's wrath. That young Song Chuyi could achieve this and do it so seamlessly, without making anyone feel like she was trying too hard to curry favor, truly wasn't ordinary maturity.
