Song Chuyi arrived at the main courtyard, where Old Madam was already waiting for her. Besides Old Madam, First Madam, Second Madam and Third Madam were all standing by.

  Old Lady Song saw Song Chuyi and smiled, saying: "Wasn't it the wrapped longevity character snowflake cake that your eldest aunt was talking about earlier? Your eldest aunt specially brought a plate over for you, so be sure to finish it later."

  The madam also smiled and came over to pull her into a seat: "I knew you loved to eat, I would have asked your sister-in-law to prepare more. Later when your four sisters come over, that small dish of yours might not be enough to share."

  Li was a bit curious about why Old Lady Song had called them all over today, and she spoke cautiously: "Old Lady and Eldest Sister, listen to her. She doesn't like eating this, just thinks the name sounds good. She's never liked sweets, it's harder than climbing a mountain to get her to eat some pastries. This little girl is probably just greedy for novelty and fun, wait till she sees something new and she'll throw this away."

  The three wives had been scolded earlier and couldn't quite grasp Old Lady's meaning for the time being, so they just smiled along without saying a word.

  Before long, Song Chuming and the others all arrived. Among the girls, only Song Chunin and Song Chuyan were missing. It was understandable that Song Chuyan didn't come, after all, she was only two years old, too young.

  The old lady asked the second lady of the house: "Why haven't we seen Ning'er?"

  "She doesn't know what's wrong, she started having a fever in the morning and it still hasn't gone down. Li shook her head with some worry: 'Yumama said that maybe she was possessed by a night-wandering spirit, let's go back and ask by setting up chopsticks later.'"

  The lady hastily said: "That can't be delayed, at that time I'll send my housekeeper Qiu to go and take a look, she's experienced in calming the nerves and asking about the spirits."

  The old lady nodded in agreement, seeing everyone was present, and began serving dishes.

  The first lady, second lady and third lady are not here for dinner, standing beside them serving dishes.

  After a while, the old lady didn't seem to want the few madams to leave, and after sitting for a bit, she called out to ask Madam Wang: "I remember that previously, the housekeeper and the senior maid in Rong'er's courtyard were both chosen by you?"

  The first wife was taken aback for a moment and subconsciously glanced at the second wife.

  Before she had a falling out with the second mistress, the person recommended by the second mistress was used to avoid trouble and suspicion. Has something gone wrong now?

  After hesitating for a moment, she said cautiously: "At that time, my second brother and sister said that Wang Nainai was an experienced old nanny who could be trusted to handle things. Those two maids also looked clever, so I assigned them all to Xiaoliu's house."

  The old lady went to see Mrs. Li.

  Li's heart skipped a beat and he immediately sensed something was wrong.

  She glanced at the old lady and said sincerely: "Old lady, I chose the person myself. Wang's nanny used to be a nurse for the second master, she is older and has experience, usually taking care of people in our house is also thorough. I thought that Xu's nanny in Xiaoliu's room was a bit younger, so I wanted an old person to restrain her a bit. As for those two maids, they are both good. At the time, it was Xiaoliu herself who chose them, thinking that these two maids looked good and were clever."

  Song Chuyi looked at the old lady with a flustered expression: "Grandma, Wang Jie and the others..."

  Old Lady Song shook her head at her and turned to look at the two madams: "According to what you say, they are all reliable. But yesterday, Huang Yao's maid actually came with a white jade bangle to ask Yu Shu for help. I'd like to ask, how did a maid get such a valuable thing?"

  White jade bangle, or even the white jade bangle made of twisted silk which is extremely demanding in craftsmanship, how could a servant girl possibly have one? Since it's impossible for a servant girl to have one, where did it come from? It must be stolen or secretly taken from her master.

  A daring and unscrupulous maid who dares to steal her master's property and bribe others, how can she be associated with cleverness and wit? It is said that she is cunning, but there are people who believe it.

  The madam's face felt burning hot and she said in a low voice: "Such a thing actually happened..."

  The second lady was even more so, she only felt that in front of so many people, being slapped hard by Old Lady Song, her face was burning with shame and almost turned completely red.

  Huang Yao this little girl's appetite is actually so big! She even dares to steal Song Chuyi's jewelry to bribe Old Lady Yu Shu...

  Mrs. Song glanced at the two daughters-in-law who were somewhat at a loss, and sneered again: "The more ridiculous thing is yet to come. I called Yushu over to bring Huang Yao over, but that girl Huang Yao was not there at all. That servant woman Wang was packing her bags to leave, wearing a crimson satin from Hangzhou, and wearing a golden jade hairpin with inlaid silk, if you didn't know, you'd think she was one of your madams."

  The two madams have both stood up and are listening with their heads bowed.

  Mr. Li felt more and more that the old lady was hinting at something, and he saw stars before his eyes, almost unable to stand upright.

  "It's just the two of them, one managing the big and small matters in her house, and the other managing her jewelry. The old lady looked at their faces as if she didn't see them, and coldly laughed: "I'd like to ask you two, how do you act as a big aunt? How do you act as a mother?"

  This remark had already been asked with a guilty conscience, and the lady's face turned pale with anxiety, deeply regretting that she had directly agreed to Li Shi's request out of fear of offending her sister-in-law.

  Li was already on the verge of collapse and fell to his knees, gritting his teeth.

  When Li's family knelt down, Song Chuyu quickly got up and followed them to kneel on the ground.

  Song Chuming and Song Chubin also quickly got up and knelt down on the ground in a row.

  "If it weren't for Huang Yao's reckless collision this time, if I hadn't taken Xiaoyi under my wing to teach her," Old Lady Song said, already genuinely angry: "Are you all just going to let these scoundrels lead her astray?!"

  The old lady actually valued Song Chuyi to such an extent! The third madam looked at Song Chuyi with a complex expression, and the anger that had been rising in her heart was suddenly extinguished by the old lady's words.

  The lady was so anxious that she almost didn't know how to speak, but fortunately, she had always been calm and composed. After a moment of calmness, she knew that no matter how she explained herself, it would be useless when the old lady was furious. So, she simply acknowledged her mistake honestly.

  Li was bitter in her heart, losing face in front of the two sisters-in-law was a small matter, but losing face in front of these younger generation was a big deal. What's more serious is that the old lady had already suspected her because of this matter, and her many years of hard work had almost become a waste of effort...

  She smiled wryly and opened her mouth: "Old lady, this matter is not the fault of my sister-in-law. I was the one who chose these people, it's me who has eyes but no insight...Wang Yatou and Huang Yao seemed like good people on the surface, but unexpectedly they are so hypocritical...Huang Yao even came to my room today, and on the surface, there was not a hint of anything, indeed, you can't judge a person by their appearance."
