Song Chengnu changed into casual clothes and came out, just in time to hear Old Lady Song saying to Song Chuyi, "Since it's been decided, it's better to do it sooner rather than later. Once things are settled on this side of the capital, we'll send Ayan over."
It was about Song Yan going to Shu, although I had expected that Song Chuyi would eventually agree, but I didn't expect her decision to come so soon. Song Chengnu turned out of the Bi Sha kitchen and saw a faint layer of dark circles under Song Chuyi's eyes, and called out to her loudly.
"Is Grandfather taking a break today?" Song Chuyi hastily stood up to pay his respects, and was somewhat puzzled: "Recently the Imperial Cabinet should be busy day and night, how could the Prime Minister spare you to return home?"
Although the matter of Xing Fu has been settled, however, a large number of people involved in it have made this matter impossible to be simply resolved. Just the list of Xing Fu and Xing An's accomplices is thick enough to fill a table, and the Imperial Guards have arrested many nobles and officials in the capital over the past few days, making everyone anxious and fearful.
The cabinet was busy dealing with the mess in Xingfu, and it was also busy. The Tongzhou governor and the guards of the granary were naturally to be rewarded, but whether Ye Jingchuan's group should be punished or rewarded was undecided. Chen Gongzhao, of course, advocated for a reward, while Zhang Gongzhao almost bit off Chen Gongzhao's ear, thinking that Ye Jingchuan was the fuse that led the wolf into the house after all, and at most, it could only be considered as making amends by meritorious service. These were all minor matters, but who should fill the position of Zijing Pass was truly a headache.
The Ministry of War has given several lists, and the qualifications are sufficient, but the water behind is quite deep. The cabinet is all old foxes, who can't see it? Therefore, no decision has been made until now.
Song Chengnu thought of these things and couldn't help but laugh and shake his head: "If you don't let people rest, how can they withstand their daily fuss?" He joked for a moment, then turned to ask Old Lady Song: "Since it's been decided that Ajuan will go to Shu, has anyone been assigned to escort her there?"
Mrs. Song thought for a moment, then said: "It was originally planned that if we really go, Qin Chuan must follow us on this trip. The half-grown son of the Qin family is also clever and can serve as a book boy to follow A Yu. The Tang family has many rules and says that only one book boy is allowed to accompany them."
Song Cheng nodded thoughtfully and turned to look at Song Chuyi: "Since they have this rule, we are sincere in our request to be their apprentice, so it's right that we should humble ourselves a bit. Moreover, they made such regulations also because they were afraid of Yan Ge having the air of a noble family's spoiled child, if he can really learn from them, it would be good for him too."
Song Chuyi naturally knew that all of this was for Song Yan's future, and she really didn't want her younger brother to be raised in a mediocre and useless way like he was in his past life. She especially didn't want him to become a spoiled brat like Shen Qing's family. Upon hearing this, she nodded heavily in agreement.
Song Chengnu and Old Lady Song exchanged a glance, both smiling with some relief.
Mrs. Song said in a low voice, changing the subject: "You didn't know that day, I was really frightened and worried all day long, and I didn't even dare to close my eyes."
That day he himself was also nervous, let alone Song old lady. Old man Song patted old lady Song's hand.
"It was really thrilling, if it wasn't for the secret letter from Prime Minister Chang at the last minute, I'm not sure if Xing Fu could have been brought to justice." Old Lady Song sighed and felt a deep sense of relief: "Fortunately, Xiao Yi had planned ahead with you, otherwise the consequences would be unthinkable. But Chen Xiang is fine after all, he suspected that the secret letter was in our hands before, now that it's been delivered, although it was through Prime Minister Chang's hands, he may still suspect us."
Although everyone knows that Chen Xiang and Xing Fu are inseparable, Chen Xiang is the commander of the Brocade Guard and has always been cautious in his actions, leaving no handles for others to grasp. At most, people can only say that they have a close relationship, but there is no substantial evidence, so they can't do anything about it.
"We've only beaten the tiger halfway, and once it recovers, we'll be in trouble." Old Lady Song couldn't help but worry: "We should make preparations as soon as possible."
Mr. Song didn't take it to heart and smiled at Song Chuyi, gesturing for her to go talk to Old Lady Song.
Song Chuyi smiled and grasped the arm of Old Lady Song, revealing a rarely seen mischievous smile: "Don't worry about this, Grandfather had anticipated that Xingfu and Chen Xiang might not be able to catch them all at once, so he made two preparations. Since this secret letter was handed over by Prime Minister Chang, even if it's for the Emperor, there should be an explanation. So when I gave it to Prime Minister Chang, I told him that this secret letter was obtained from Su Yi and others, and has nothing to do with us."
Since this thing has been circulating and is still in the hands of the Su family, it means that when Mrs. Su cried and shouted injustice in front of him at first, she was actually faking it.
Chen Xiang should go find the Su family for revenge, what does it have to do with the Song family?
Mrs. Song couldn't help but burst out laughing: "You two are really a perfect match, this old and young pair is truly a wonderful combination!"
She had originally felt a little sympathy for the Su family, but that had all disappeared after Mrs. Su and Chen Xiang's secret letter incident. If the situation were reversed today, the Su family would undoubtedly let the Song family die without hesitation, so she didn't think it was wrong to push the matter onto the Su family. After all, the secret letter did indeed belong to the Su family, and saying that it had been obtained from Su Yi was the most likely to make someone as suspicious as Chen Xiang believe.
Those men from Su's family have black hearts, and today is their retribution.
Before long, Song Da Lao Ye led Song Jue in and brought up the movements of the Jin Yi Wei today: "Today they surrounded the Jin Xiang Bo Fu again, but did not confiscate property. It is said that they were ordered to reprimand Jin Xiang Bo, saying that his behavior was unscrupulous and he amassed wealth in a corrupt manner."
Jinxiang Bo Fu is the maternal family of the old lady of the British Gong Mansion, and it was also implicated. Song Lao Tai frowned and said: "I wonder why the son-in-law of the British Gong Mansion came to our house so diligently, it turns out that he really has something to do with Xingfu's affairs."
Song Jue snorted: "Although they said they didn't thoroughly surrender to Xingfu before, they still benefited a lot by following Xingfu's east wind. Now that Xingfu is going to be finished, of course, they are more anxious than anyone else. Jinxiang Bo is now being scolded again, and with your relationship with the old lady of the British Gong Mansion, I'm afraid she will come to you in person to plead for mercy and test the waters."
"It's not necessarily." Song Chuyi smiled and continued his words: "After all, she is the younger sister of Zhuang Taifei, maybe she will go to ask Zhuang Taifei, but it's not certain."
Zhuang Tai Fei has always had a very good relationship with Rong Xian Tai Hou, and given Shen Xiao Hai's personality, it is impossible for him not to use this connection.
