It's clear that she only came to ask about the news after hearing that Ta Sun was coming, but she can make it sound so good. It seems that this Miss Chen is not a simple person either.

  If Chen Jinxin had half of her cunning and means, she wouldn't have ended up in this state.

  Song Chuyi felt a surge of emotions in her heart, but her face remained calm and serene. She smiled faintly and said, "Alright, it's just that you've come for nothing, sister. You probably don't know yet, but the Crown Prince has arrived, so both my uncle and the imperial son-in-law have gone to welcome him."

  "Oh?" Chen's daughter smiled slightly, seeming rather unenthusiastic. She glanced around and laughed: "So it's the Crown Prince who has arrived. No wonder I couldn't find Uncle. But now that he's here, it's hard to say whether it's good luck or bad..."

  Ci Fu Chen Tong has always been a member of the Crown Prince's party and was also the Crown Prince's advisor at that time.

  Chen's enthusiasm for Taishun is probably also a well-known path of Sima Zhao.

  Song Chuyi smiled but didn't speak, after taking a sip of hot tea, she suddenly asked with an expression of confusion: "I don't know if sister knows why those violent soldiers rushed straight to the noble mansion? I heard that nearby villas were not affected, only the mansion suffered heavy losses."

  When mentioning this topic, Chen's face, which had always been calm and smiling, finally showed a hint of fear, stiffened her face, shook her head and sighed: "To be honest, I also find it strange. There are many villas near my house that are even bigger than mine. If we're talking about being eye-catching, there's no way they should have picked us, but for some reason, they've targeted our house..."

  "I did hear Brother mention a rumor." Song Chuyi looked at Chen Niang and said, "But I don't know if Brother was joking or just passing on hearsay. If Sister has heard it, just take it as a joke."

  Miss Chen nodded in agreement.

  "Brother, you originally followed your uncle to guard the Zijing Pass, but I don't know when it started, and suddenly a rumor spread along the border about illustrated books." Song Chuyi's face showed puzzlement: "The illustrations in the book exaggerated the wealth of Tongzhou, and it was said that they even specifically marked the wealthy households, including their locations, and even drew pictures of the houses. It was said that your esteemed residence was one of the key places marked..."

  Miss Chen finally showed a look of surprise and alarm, she had been taught by her grandparents since childhood and understood what these things meant. She looked up at Song Chu-yi with an inquiring gaze, saw that she only had a puzzled and bewildered expression, but no other emotions, and felt slightly relieved, yet still retained a sense of vigilance. After some deliberation, she asked again: "It's obviously a rumor. Tongzhou has many estates and lands belonging to the aristocratic families of the capital, my family is just one among them, nothing special. Why was our family specifically marked? To be honest, even if it were your noble family, you would have more qualifications to be on this list than us."

  If the Tartar troops' attack on their villa is really related to this booklet, then the person who drew and published it widely should be punished!

  Obviously came straight for the Chen family.

  Song Chuyi also nodded, seemingly thinking that Miss Chen's words were reasonable, and smiled with some complaint: "Who says it isn't? Not to mention our family, but even the three-story villa of the Chen Hanlin family and the British embassy's large villa with hot springs near our house can't be found in that book. Sister, don't you think it's strange?! Moreover, those people were afraid that the Tartars wouldn't understand, so they specifically used the Tartar language......"

  Miss Chen could no longer maintain her calm demeanor and suddenly asked, "Does my sister have the original copy of the book? I'd like to take a look at what this book looks like and who the author is. Why did they single out our family? Is it because the persimmon tree in our backyard is particularly pleasing to the eye?"

  "The booklet was given to the imperial son-in-law, I don't have it here." Song Chuyi smiled awkwardly: "But I sneaked a peek and also heard that the person who wrote this booklet is not well-intentioned. It seems to be the idle work of the Surveillance Commissioner of the Zi Jing Guan."

  What a boring piece of work, this boring piece of work brought the Tartar cavalry, how many civilians were killed or injured in Tongzhou? Almost got himself and his sister killed by the tiger's mouth!

  Chen Xiaomei remembered the author clearly and thought that she must go home and mention this white-eyed wolf to her grandfather.

  The dignified and noble granddaughter and grandson of the Deputy Director of the Imperial Censorate, were almost sent to their deaths by a single book from the censor, what a huge joke!

  She had originally come to inquire about the Crown Prince's news with Song Chuyi, and at this moment, she didn't have the heart to stay any longer. She hurriedly stood up and bid farewell to Song Chuyi: "Sister, it's not early anymore, I won't disturb you further. I'll come over again tomorrow to visit you."

  Song Chuyi also stood up with a smile and saw him off.

  Qing Tao looked puzzled, supporting Song Chuyi who was somewhat nervous: "Miss, when did Ye Er Ye ever mention anything about a painting album to you? You're telling Chen Niang this, won't something go wrong? She'll definitely tell Chen Ge Lao."

  Mr. Chen is so astute, but when the time comes and it's found that nothing of the sort happened, won't Miss be in trouble?

  Miss Chen wouldn't have gotten up early if there was no benefit, and the Crown Prince wouldn't have come to thank her and ask for an audience either. Song Chuyi is the same way. If it weren't for Miss Chen's grandfather being in charge of the Ducha Institute in the cabinet, and potentially useful in the future, Song Chuyi wouldn't have bothered wasting so many words on this Miss Chen.

  Hongyu had already made the bed for Song Chuyi, and seeing that Chen Niangzi had left, she hurried over to invite Song Chuyi to rest: "If you make a fuss too late, you won't be able to sleep. There are still many things to do tomorrow morning."

  These two days, Auntie Xu also waited until she fell asleep before going out, and now she nodded in agreement.

  It was just the second day in the morning when I got up and heard that Miss Chen had come again.

  Qingtao held the tooth powder and Hongyu stood together, hearing this finally expressed her dissatisfaction for the first time: "Why did Miss Chen come again so early? Not even giving people time to eat a meal."

  Song Chuyi finished dressing and called for someone to invite Miss Chen in.

  Xu Ayi happened to bring someone over to deliver breakfast, and Song Chuyi invited Chen Niang to join them for a meal.

  Miss Chen hesitated for a moment before agreeing with a smile: "In that case, I'll trouble you again, sister. To be honest with you, I also want to visit my uncle today... probably the family already knows something has happened in Tongzhou, and my grandparents are old, they can't take the shock. I'd like to ask Uncle to send a message back for me."

  She gazed at Song Chuyi, her eyes flickering slightly.

  Song Chuyi didn't go to look at her letter, pretending not to see the fleeting unease on her face, nodded and said: "This is a normal human feeling, where can it be considered troublesome? Since that's the case, after dinner I'll go with my sister."

  Miss Chen let out a sigh of relief and bowed her head to slowly drink the porridge in her bowl.

  As always, thank you for your rewards, muah muah, I love you guys.
