The old lady said heavily, "Shi Xiao Si and our family's Xiao Wu are cousins, growing up together since childhood. Because they were born on the same day, their feelings for each other are even closer than those of biological brothers."

  She sighed softly, "Before Xiao Wu left for the northwest, he entrusted me to take care of Xiao Si and not let him get on the wrong path or do anything impulsive. It's only been a short while since then, but this child..."

  The implication is that Shi Jia Si Ye is a person who is easily manipulated by others and has a hot-headed and impulsive personality.

  Nature also reveals another message, he is in a precarious situation in the Moyangbo government, often being secretly calculated by others.

  Auntie Tao said that her fifth uncle had flirted with Dan sister's maid, but she didn't believe it.

  If she were just an ordinary maid, how could she have caused Shi Jia's fourth master to lose his mind and directly beat up Cui Wu and take him away?

  Unless... that maid is Shi Xiaosi's beloved...

  How can Ke Shi Xiao Si fall in love with his sister's maid?

  If this gets out, Dan Jie's reputation won't be good either.

  So, Cui Ying had some doubts about this maid's identity.

  She suspected that Cui Wu was indeed a frivolous woman, but the identity of this maid might just be a cover.

  The water in here is very deep, she thought it was necessary to remind the old lady.

  Cui Ling blinked her eyes, "Sun's daughter-in-law thinks that what Tao said is not entirely true, it's better for grandmother to send someone to investigate first and find out what really happened."

  She gently shook Old Lady's arm, "Maybe it was just a misunderstanding."

  The old lady also hoped it was a misunderstanding. She nodded, "Still, you're thinking ahead. Let's find Stone Xiao Si first and get to the bottom of this before saying anything."

  She thought for a moment, "Don't worry, Shi Xiaosi's father named him Xiujian, hoping he would cultivate himself and be cautious. Although he is not as calm and composed as our family's Xiao Wu, he has made great progress in recent years."

  The old lady touched her head and continued, "Light and heavy, fast and slow, that child can still tell them apart. It seems that he won't really take the life of your mother's fifth brother."

  In these days and months, the lives of ordinary people are as worthless as straw.

  But Cui Wu was a nobleman, and as the son of a prominent family, taking his life would be easy, but the consequences would be unthinkable.

  This is not something Shi Xiu Jian can endure.

  Even if the identity of the frivolous woman was more important, Shi Xiuren would never kill Cui Wu.

  Otherwise, he will not only give up the title of Marquis of Muyang to the second house, but also suffer from imprisonment.

  For Cui Ling, whether Cui Wu could return alive to Anning Bo Fu was of no concern to her.

  She had no impression of Fifth Brother Wu, but now she did, and Cui Wu was an out-and-out pervert in her mind.

  What nonsense, it's just a misunderstanding, how is that possible?

  If he had simply stretched out his salty pig's paw without pain or itching, Shi Xiuren would never have been in this state.

  So Cui Wu is very likely to have done the most despicable thing under heaven.

  For people like this, Cui Ying is deeply hated and resented.

  Unfortunately, in this era, Cui Wu's actions can be summed up with the phrase "young and reckless", which is a joke, but not even considered a scandal.

  If Shi Xiu Jian killed Cui Wu, it would be an unforgivable crime!

  Chui Wing hopes Chui Ng can make amends, but she doesn't want Shek Sau-kin to act impulsively and make mistakes.

  She likes Dan Jie Er.

  Big sister Dan has not yet spoken of marriage.

  When Old Mrs. Tao mentioned this matter, she also talked about Dan Jie being present at that time.

  If this matter is really made a big deal of, it will be a disaster for Dan Jie.

  "Grandma," Cui Ling thought for a moment and said in a low voice, "Aunt Tao said that Dan Jie was also present at the time. I think she must have been very frightened. How about..."

  She bit her lip, seemingly making up her mind. "Why don't you post an invitation and ask her to come over and play? We can have a good talk with her. Dan Jie is a good girl, with her help in persuading him, Shi Si Ye will understand."

  This is probably the best solution at present.

  Otherwise, if it were Old Lady who came forward and went to Madame Fu of the Marquis of Yongchang's residence, things would become even more complicated.

  Now, Shi Si and Cui Wu can no longer be caught off guard, so letting things slide is the only way to go.

  The old lady nodded after a moment of thought and said, "Let's do it this way."

  Because they were both preoccupied with their own thoughts, neither Old Lady Yu nor Cui Yong ate much.

  Liu Shifu was perplexed and thought the dishes were not cooked well, feeling wronged for a long time.

  Half a moment later, Cui Ying called Mu Jin to the small kitchen to pass on a message, saying that there were guests at home and she couldn't spare the time, so those spicy dishes wouldn't be made for now, they would talk about it another day.

  Liu Shifu felt both itchy and lost, so he carefully put away the chili pepper.

  In the afternoon, a small sedan chair was sent from the residence of Marquis Mu Yang, and it was Miss Shi Liu who had arrived.

  Sister Dan seemed to have not rested well, with a tired look between her eyebrows and eyes, and some faint dark circles under her eyes, as if she hadn't slept well for many days.

  She saw Old Lady and Cui Ying, first paid her respects, then forced a smile and said, "Auntie is thinking of Dan Jie, isn't she?"

  The Moyang Bo Mansion and the Zhen Guo Jiang Jun Mansion are relatives by marriage.

  Shi Tai Furen was the only sister of the late General Shi. When Yuan Lao Taikun married into the family, Shi Tai Furen was still young.

  Elder sister-in-law is like a mother, Lady Yuan had no daughter and treated this only younger sister-in-law as her own daughter.

  Yuan Shi and his family have a close relationship with each other, and their feelings are very deep.

  The old lady often had only two granddaughters, Yuan Yue'er and Yuan Xin'er, under her knees. Xin'er was still young, only six years old, and two years ago she was still a toddler who stuttered and couldn't speak clearly, always playing with Yue'er in the same place.

  So, Yuan Yue'er often asked Old Lady to bring Dan Jie'er to the mansion to play.

  Dannei has come many times, and with Lao Taitai, she is also as close as her own grandmother, speaking without much restraint or formality.

  The old lady smiled and pulled over Dan Jie's hand, looking at her carefully, "You've lost weight!"

  Perhaps Xudan also had something to say to Lao Taikun, but seeing Cui Ying there too, she hesitated and stopped.

  Cui Ling looked stupid, but she was actually not foolish at all. She knew what Dan Jie wanted to say and didn't want her to hear it.

  She smiled and said to Old Lady, "The pastry made in the morning, I'll go to the kitchen to see if there's any left. If there is, let Dan sister try some too."

  As soon as she finished speaking, she bowed and left.

  The heavy curtain fell, and a faint voice came from inside the house, "Auntie, I was just about to come and ask you for help. This matter, no one else can persuade Fourth Brother except you. He says he owes Fifth Brother an apology for not keeping watch..."

  Cui Ling furrowed her brow, but the voice inside grew fainter and fainter until it was no longer audible.

  She had no choice but to put this matter aside for the time being and went to the small kitchen.

  In the house, Old Lady heard Dan Jie finish speaking and said angrily, "Shi Xiao Si is being reckless!"
