The weather in late May is unbearably hot, the sun beats down relentlessly, and the grass and trees on the ground are all wilted and lifeless. Occasionally, a cicada's chirping can be heard, making people feel annoyed and restless.

  The Taoran Pavilion had ice basins placed everywhere, and several large trees shaded it, completely isolating the scorching heat from outside. However, at this time, Mama and others did not feel the comfort of being in a cool place, but were filled with anxiety and fear.

  She looked at Song Chuyi sitting on the top, appearing high and mighty, and for the first time in her heart she felt such fear and terror. This girl had grown up under the eyes of Li Shi and hers since childhood, every move was grasped by them, countless times listening to their words and obeying their plans.

  But from what time on did Song Chuyu start to get out of Li's and his own control?

  She thought of Li's previous wariness and precautions towards Song Chuyi, and suddenly felt regretful. If she had realized it earlier, if she had been a little earlier...

  A firework exploded in the center of the ceiling, startling her back to reality. She then realized that Song Chuyi was staring at her with a hint of mockery in his eyes.

  She clenched her heart, but then hardened her heart again, stood up straight and stared at Song Chuyi without evasion: "Sixth Miss doesn't need to ask anymore, one person does things and one person takes responsibility, the fire was set by me, it has nothing to do with others!"

  Although Li's family was defeated, his son, daughter-in-law and daughter were still in the hands of the Li family. Old Master Li said that she had to listen to everything Song Chuning said, and if she betrayed Song Chuning, she thought about Old Lady Li's means and involuntarily shuddered.

  "I know it was you who did it." Song Chuyi looked at her coldly, seemingly not angry at all, and even had a smile at the corner of his mouth: "The maid who patrolled yesterday saw you sneaking around near Songtao Garden. The doorman also said that you instructed the little girl to go out to the back street to buy fire oil and flint. With such evidence piled up together, it's hard for you to deny it."

  Her mother bit her lip and looked at her, only to feel that her smile was difficult to grasp, and she couldn't help but lower her head. It's just a dead daughter-in-law who has just become pregnant, and the younger daughter will be married soon. She risked her life for Li Shi and Song Chuning's affairs, the Li family would not mistreat their own children and grandchildren, she hardened her heart-----anyway, it was as if she had accompanied Li Shi to her grave.

  It's just a pity that this time Song Xuan still didn't really burn to death, otherwise it would have been worth it.

  Song Chuyi beckoned to Qingtao, took a handkerchief from her hand and gently tossed it in front of her mother. With a cold smile, she asked: "Mother, as the housekeeper for your family's young lady for so many years, you must have very good eyesight. Can you recognize where this handkerchief was embroidered?"

  At first, Mother's gaze was disdainful, but when she caught sight of the handkerchief, her expression suddenly changed. With a loud shout, she pushed away the surrounding women and her urgent voice changed: "Where did this come from?!"

  This is clearly her daughter-in-law's handiwork!

  "Of course, I got it from the owner who embroidered it." Song Chuyi carelessly stepped on the handkerchief and looked at her mother with a provocative expression: "You've done so many bad things in your life, and yet you still have incense left for me to think about. It's really not fair. Mother, you even laid hands on my brother, don't you think I should take revenge and collect some interest from you?"

  Her mother's eyes were about to split, and her heart almost jumped out of her throat. She stumbled forward, trying to pull the handkerchief from under Song Chuyi's feet.

  But Song Chuyi kicked her so hard that she fell backward.

  She only then saw Song Chuyi's gaze on her ----- this kind of gaze she had also seen on Song Chunin's body before, that kind of gaze that viewed life and death as nothing, a coldness to the extreme, made her heart sink like it was falling into an ice cellar.

  "Ah, ah, ah!" She clutched Song Chuyi's leg, finally realizing she had underestimated this girl. Tense and incoherent: "Those were my sins, nothing to do with my son and daughter-in-law, Sixth Miss, you can kill or dismember me here, just spare them"

  "Why don't you let my brother go?!" Song Chuyi's voice suddenly became sharp, she looked at Yu's mother with a cold gaze, her anger turning to laughter: "Your family members are your own, but mine aren't?! What makes you think I'll let your son and daughter-in-law off just because of your few words?! Honestly, if you tell me the truth today, then that's it. But if you still want to play tricks on me, not only will I not let your son and daughter-in-law go, but also your soon-to-be-married younger daughter - none of them will be spared!"

  Her mother's pupils suddenly enlarged, and she fell to the ground, unable to utter a complete sentence for half a day.

  Song Chuyi looked harmless to others, and seemed no different from other girls of the same age. However, her mother knew that every word she spoke could come true.

  "Ah ah Miss Ba" was so shocked that she felt her mouth was no longer under her control, and her legs were trembling like sieves: "She told me to set the fire"

  Qing Tao and Hong Yu's eyes widened in unison, their mouths agape as if they could swallow an egg. How old is Song Chunin?! A little girl ten months younger than Song Xuan, how can she have such a vicious heart and such decisive courage?!

  The room fell silent, and Yu's mother seemed to be afraid that Song Chuyi wouldn't believe her. She grabbed onto Song Chuyi's skirt and cried so hard that her voice became distorted: "Sixth Miss, I really didn't deceive anyone, it was Eighth Miss who told me to do it, I'm telling the truth! I've already confessed everything to you, please spare my son and daughter-in-law, I beg of you!"

  It turns out that Song Chuning had such a big grudge against herself and Song Yan at such a young age. Song Chuyi sneered, who would be on guard against a five-year-old girl? In her previous life, she died so miserably, it wasn't very unjust either.

  Hong Yu's eyes turned red with hatred, and she looked at her mother with a mixture of anger and disgust. She whispered to Song Chuyi, "Miss, shall we hand Mother over to the old lady?"

  Song Chuning is so vicious at such a young age, can't be left unchecked.

  When her mother heard this, her eyes widened again, and she retreated in fear. She couldn't say that if she said this in front of Old Lady Song, her son and daughter-in-law would not survive, let alone the fact that she had more than just a son and daughter-in-law - all her relatives were born into the Li family, and they might all be implicated at that time.

  Before Song Chuyi could speak, Madame Xi hurried in with a flustered expression. She first glanced at Yu's mother before quickly walking up to Song Chuyi and saying in a low voice, "Miss, the Princess of Zhen Nan and the wife of the British Duke have arrived. The old lady asked me to come call you over."
