Ye Jingchuan's eyebrows twitched slightly as he stared at Zhou Weizhao, looking somewhat bewildered: "You didn't see that little girl was even more intimidating than my father the king! I was worried she'd be scared by those people, but now it seems like if she doesn't kill them, it'll be a mercy!"

  Zhou Weizhao's eyes slightly dimmed. The situation of Song Chuyi interrogating those people had been reported to them one by one, and to be honest, this made him even more convinced of the dream that Song Chuyi had said.

  If she hadn't really experienced the pain of being cut by a knife, as an inexperienced little girl, she shouldn't have harbored such great hatred towards people.

  The night color is getting deeper and deeper, the moonlight's afterglow sprinkles on the leaves, giving the surrounding scenery a faint layer of yellow.

  Feeling that the time was about right, Zhou Weizhao had no more doubts about Song Chuyi's abilities and called out to Ye Jingchuan to leave first. The Tartar cavalry outside should also be tired from being worn out by now.

  Song Ren and Song Jue led the troops personally, surrounding them from four sides and setting up ambushes on two sides. In the end, they used fire oil to burn the Tartar soldiers, almost turning them into ashes.

  When Zhou Weizhao and Ye Jingchuan arrived, the fire was still raging, and the scorching heat made them both frown.

  Ye Jingkuan had been busy all night and looked a bit tired, but his face was filled with a happy smile as he hurried to greet them.

  After nine days of the Tartar cavalry entering Tongzhou, they were finally annihilated, and the remaining few who escaped are not worth worrying about, and it's just a matter of slowly mopping them up.

  Faced with these brutal and ferocious Tartar soldiers, the price they paid was unbelievably small. All of this was thanks to Song Chuyu's foresight and clever calculations, which left a deep impression on Ye Jingkuan about this little girl.

  "Just now busy with things here, vaguely heard that something happened in the backyard?" Ye Jingkuan was somewhat puzzled and then asked with some concern: "Nothing big happened, did it?"

  After all, there is a granddaughter of Old Man Chen in the backyard, and also the sixth lady of the Bo Mansion.

  Ye Jingchuan instinctively wanted to say what had just happened, but was preempted by Zhou Weizhao.

  "It's nothing major." Zhou Weizhao gave Ye Jingchuan a meaningful glance, signaling him to keep quiet, and casually looked at Song Ren who was standing up in shock: "It was just a small group of Tartar bandits, they've all been put down."

  The Ta Sun has fifty elite Yu Lin guards by his side, plus those few Taoist priests with extraordinary martial arts skills he brought from the Dragon and Tiger Mountain, dealing with a few violent soldiers is indeed a trivial matter.

  Song Ren and Song Jue exchanged a glance, both putting down the high-suspended hearts in their minds.

  The problem that had troubled everyone for almost half a month was finally solved, and everyone was in a good mood. However, Ye Jingkuan still worried about how to deal with the aftermath of this matter and how to minimize the responsibility of Ye Jingchuan and Yuan Hong.

  Song Chuyi stepped out of the grain warehouse, the night was as dark as ink dots, and if there were no lanterns lighting up the surroundings, one couldn't see their own fingers when stretching out their hand. Darkness always makes people's hearts panic easily.

  Mrs. Xue heard the news and came to pick her up, only to see her standing in the night like a white jade statue, exuding an icy cold aura. Her face was somewhat pale, probably due to being frightened at night and busy for half the night. Mrs. Xue felt heartbroken, went forward and supported her, and only then did she seem to have regained some vitality.

  "Miss, how are you?" Madam Xu reached out to feel her forehead, her eyes full of worry. For the past few days, Song Chuyi had been getting up early and sleeping late almost every day, and Madam Xu was really worried that she wouldn't be able to hold on.

  "I've asked clearly, and I have all the evidence in hand." Song Chuyi's voice was very low, as if she had no energy left: "Mother, the person who delivered things for her yesterday, you'll take two people to catch her later. It was her who informed these people and told them where I live."

  Mrs. Xu gritted her teeth in hatred and almost cursed out of extreme anger: "She will definitely get what's coming to her!"

  Yes, Li will definitely get what she deserves. This retribution is not given by heaven, but by herself.

  Auntie Xu told her that she had already arranged for Lianyi to stay with a reliable farming family - after all, there were Song Jue and Song Ren here, if they recognized Lianyi, it would be easy to cause unnecessary trouble.

  Song Chuyi nodded, and then Auntie Xu asked her in a low voice: "This time back, is it to expose her to the old master and mistress? She's getting bolder and bolder now, and she even dares to muddy the waters and take advantage of the situation. If we let things go on like this, who knows what kind of vicious ideas she'll come up with?"

  "It's almost done." Song Chuyi said as she suddenly turned her head to ask Qing Tao, "How is it? Has there been any news from the people who went to Jinzhong?"

  Logically speaking, if the Cui family received a letter and replied, it would only take about half a month through the post station. Now it's almost been half a month.

  She herself is not enough in terms of status or age to make Li's death, only when the Cui family stands out can Li pay the heaviest price.

  And now, she doesn't just want Li's death.

  Mrs. Li was the second lady of the manor, and she usually acted with strict propriety. Even if she wanted to go out, she would have to report to the old lady or the first lady first. If there were no outsiders helping her, she wouldn't have been able to bribe so many thugs.

  And who is this person helping her? It's so obvious, you can even guess with your toes.

  The mother and daughter of the Li family really thought that this world was free for them to bully and tyrannize, even daring to do things like buying people and killing people.

  It's been chaotic all day today, and Qing Tao doesn't know if the letter has arrived or not. He shakes his head: "I don't know if there's a letter coming in, but judging from the date, it should be soon."

  As they spoke, they arrived at the courtyard and saw the chaotic scene with bloodstains everywhere. Madam Xu was not hard-pressed to guess what had happened earlier. Precisely because she could imagine how critical the situation was back then, her hatred towards Li Shi deepened even more in her heart. Uncontrollably, she cursed again, and after cursing Li Shi, she couldn't help but scold Chen Gu Niang as well: "You're truly a white-eyed wolf! If it weren't for our kindness in taking them in back then, those siblings would have been devoured by the Tartar soldiers long ago. And yet they repay us with enmity!"

  Mrs. Xu had already tidied up the house, but didn't have time to replace the window paper; in order not to disturb Song Ren and Song Ke, she could only endure it for now.

  Instead of Song Chuyi, the maid had prepared a change of clothes. Mrs. Xi hesitated and came over to ask her: "Miss, it's so noisy here, what if Master and Young Master ask about it tomorrow? We can't clean up those things in the courtyard by ourselves."

  "No need for us to cover up." Song Chuyi, with the help of Qingtao and Hongyu, dried her hair and smiled reassuringly at Mrs. Xu: "The Taishun Prince and Ye Shaoye will explain things for us, Mother doesn't have to worry."

  Thank you very much to Xiaowu, Yeohui, Zili, 9th Miss and Ru'er for the rewards and gifts. I'm really grateful! Also, I'd like to ask again for subscriptions, and the extra chapter of He's Token might be updated tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
