As soon as Madam Song finished speaking, Old Lady Song's face changed color and she almost lost control of her facial expression, standing up and exclaiming: "Who?!"

  Chen Xiang had been out of touch for a long time, how did he suddenly appear in his own home at this moment, and kept saying that he wanted to see him?! Thinking that Song Chengru was on duty tonight, Old Lady Song was even more certain that Chen Xiang had come prepared, and for the time being, she couldn't figure out what Chen Xiang was up to.

  Chen Ge Lao was looking for the imperial censor from Zi Jing Guan with great enthusiasm, and even the Town South Wang Fu couldn't rest. Logically speaking, Chen Xiang shouldn't have had time to come find them, but he happened to show up at this very moment.

  Old Lady Song turned her head and glanced at Song Chuyi, seeing that she had also straightened up, then cleared her throat and instructed Huang to go out: "Jieyi, you go tell Eldest Brother to bring the people to Mingde Hall."

  Mrs. Song was a bit nervous as she went forward to attend to Old Lady Song behind the screen, but just then she saw Old Lady Song slowly wave her hand, and she stood there in surprise.

  "We don't need you." Old Lady Song frowned, seeing that Big Madame Song was stunned on the spot, and said: "It's not good for you to go see him now, it's getting late too, why don't you just go back to your room and rest?"

  Chen Xiang was, after all, an outsider. The handkerchief in the madam's hand moved slightly, and she felt both relieved and somewhat uneasy at the same time. Turning her head to see Song Chuyi, she smiled rather cautiously at Old Lady Song: "Since that's the case, I'll have my daughter-in-law send Little Yi back home to rest first."

  "This is not needed either." Old Lady Song knew what she was thinking, looked at her and said: "She will follow me out, you go back first, Eldest Brother still has to attend court tomorrow, don't you need to help him pack his things?"

  Mrs. Song was taken aback for a moment, then immediately understood the meaning of Old Lady Song's words, and couldn't help but feel completely at ease, sincerely responding with a "yes", taking a deep look at Song Chuyi before politely excusing herself to leave.

  Madam Hou asked her anxiously on one side: "Ma'am, did the old lady give you a hard time?"

  After all, the one who holds power at home is still Old Lady Song. If she insists on this matter and doesn't let go, then Madam Song's days will be very difficult, and it will only get harder for those who serve as her subordinates in the main house.

  Mrs. Song shook her head and felt that her forehead was already covered with cold sweat, and the night wind blew suddenly, and she realized that it was a bit chilly.

  "Afterwards, you should show more respect to Sixth Miss." Madam Song walked for a while before suddenly speaking up: "The current situation is different from the past. Otherwise, this time's incident would be a lesson."

  The golden bells and rings all hung their heads low, and responded in a low voice that it was so.

  Jin Aiyi couldn't help but turn pale ----- after all, she was the one who personally went to talk to Song Chuyi about this matter. As a senior, Mrs. Song might not hold any grudges against her, but what if she suddenly lashes out at her?

  Mrs. Song took Song Chuyi out the door, and was blown a chill by the sudden gust of cool wind-----the early autumn evening already had a hint of coolness, looking up there was a full moon hanging in the sky, she grasped Song Chuyi's hand tightly, lowered her voice to ask: "Is it that Chen family has found some clues about the Imperial Censor, so Chen Xiang and the others are getting anxious?"

  Chen Xiang and Xing Fu have always been inseparable, like a hawk and a rabbit. It's highly likely that they've already caught wind of some news from the Chen or Ye families, which is why they've come to the Song residence. Although it's possible that Chen Ge Lao or the Zhen Nan Wang Fu might find the imperial censor first, once they do, it will signal the start of danger.

  Neither Xing Fu nor Chen Xiang could possibly let that imperial censor live peacefully to the capital, let alone enter the Grand Temple or be summoned to prison.

  But if the matter of the imperial censor is settled, then the remaining secret letter becomes even more important ----- apart from the imperial censor, this is probably the only thing that can put Xingfu to death.

  Song Chuyi nodded, feeling a warmth from Old Lady Song's hand: "Calculating the time, it should be about time for news. It's just unknown whether Commander Chen and his men successfully caught up with them to resolve the only remaining trouble, or..."

  Mrs. Song understood her meaning and coldly laughed without saying a word.

  Song Chuyi, however, felt inexplicably tense - no matter whether Chen Ge was found or fell into the hands of Zhen Nan Wang Fu, he had to be able to protect himself. If the real person had already died at the hands of Chen Xiang and Xing Fu, the pressure on the Song family would only be heavier than before.

  The Mingde Hall was brightly lit, and several lanterns in front of the hall had already been lit with bright candles that swayed back and forth in the wind, casting a flickering light.

  Mrs. Song arrived at the gate, released Song Chuyi's hand, and supported Yu Shu to enter the door, turned over the twelve mud-gold landscape screens, and steadily exchanged greetings with Chen Xiang before sitting down as host and guest.

  Song Chuyi brought Qingtao and Ziyun in through a small side door, sat down on the couch in the compartment, and quietly listened to the movements from the other side of the wall.

  "I was just startled by the report." Old Lady Song smiled and looked at the maid who had respectfully poured tea, took a sip from the gold-painted water-moss lotus cup, and then turned her head to look at Chen Xiang: "I thought you were here on official business."

  Chen Xiang's tone was cheerful and straightforward, with a hint of playful smile: "Even if it's official business, given the status of Bo Fu, it can only be to add flowers to the brocade, Auntie is joking with me."

  The old master looked at the first elder and said, "Just now, Commander Chen told me that this trip is specifically to ask for your help." He turned his head and stared at Chen Xiang with piercing eyes: "Unfortunately, I asked him for half a day, but he refused to tell me what exactly he came to ask for."

  Chen Xiang laughed even more brightly: "This is a huge matter, related to my marriage. With elders present, I dare to speak out with a straight face, how can I say it in front of you, brother?"

  Old Lady Song and Old Master Song couldn't help but frown at each other.

  Song Chuyi next door also heard it and was taken aback, her heart suddenly lifted up ----- if her premonition was not wrong, Chen Xiang said something about marriage destiny, and specially came to ask Old Lady Song, it should be for Chen Jinxin!

  As expected, only the sound of cups and plates hitting the table came from next door, and Old Lady Song immediately burst out laughing: "What are you talking about? You come to our house in the middle of the night and ask for a marriage match?! Don't come here to make fun of me."

  Song Dalao bent his fingers and lightly tapped on the table beside him, also full of doubt, and asked: "If you want to find Bingren, shouldn't you go to Taichang Temple? Why come to our place for no reason? Is Commander Mo really making fun of us?"
