Li Qiyu ignored her and followed Ming Yuezhu back to the hall. Li Xichi stared at her back, her expression filled with resentment.
Just then, footsteps sounded from behind. Li Xichi knew it must be Song Yunsheng. She quickly adjusted her expression and put on a smiling face.
When she turned around, sure enough, it was Song Yunsheng.
"Brother Song."
"Xichi? What are you doing here?"
"Oh, I was just chatting with my elder sister for a while. My elder sister has such a temper. Sigh."
Li Xichi was waiting for Song Yunsheng to pick up her conversation, like asking her, "What's wrong with your elder sister?" Then she could speak ill of Li Xiyu. But unfortunately, Song Yunsheng didn't take the bait. He just said indifferently, "Oh."
Since Song Yunsheng didn't respond, Li Xichi had no chance to play her act. She could only silently swallow all her complaints. She stood beside Song Yunsheng, forcing a smile.
Looking at Li Xichi's obsequious smile, Song Yunsheng didn't like it at all. On the contrary, he felt a bit disgusted.
"Stop smiling."
Seeing Li Xichi's expression freeze in place, Song Yunsheng changed his tone. "I mean you look better when you're not smiling. I prefer the quiet you."
Hearing this, Li Xichi, whose heart had been a bit hurt, now felt better. She nodded obediently. She subconsciously wanted to smile but quickly stopped herself when she remembered Song Yunsheng's words.
Without a smile, Li Xichi looked very much like her.
Looking at her, Song Yunsheng felt more comfortable.
Ming Yuezhu said she was tired and went back to her room to rest first. After returning to her room, she called Ming Yuexin and told her what had happened at the Li Mansion.
Ming Yuexin was very shocked to hear this.
"Song Yunsheng and Li Xichi. How did these two get together? If I remember correctly, Song Yunsheng knows Song Jiaye's identity, right?"
Ming Yuezhu wasn't sure either. She said, "It doesn't seem to me that Song Yunsheng cares much about Li Xichi. Moreover, anyone who knows Li Xichi well knows that she's just a pretty face with little brains. Even if Song Yunsheng has no taste, he wouldn't like her, would he?"
"I just don't know if Old Master Song knows about this. If his adopted son comes to challenge his own grandson, once Old Master Song knows, Song Yunsheng won't have a good time."
Just thinking about this made Ming Yuezhu feel a headache.
"Yes, that's exactly what I'm most worried about. I also guessed that Song Yunsheng came here with ulterior motives. I saw him talking to Li Xiyu. I'm afraid his real intention is not what it seems."
As soon as Ming Yuezhu mentioned Li Xiyu, Ming Yuexin got a bit nervous.
"Sister, you have to keep an eye on Li Xiyu. She's like a child now, with little ability to distinguish right from wrong."
Originally, Ming Yuezhu had planned to move out of the Li family in the next few days. But the sudden appearance of Song Yunsheng messed up all her plans.
Without Ming Yuexin reminding her, Ming Yuezhu could guess that before long, both the Ming family and the Song family would get the news. Her grandmother, Ming Yuewan, would surely ask her to keep an eye on Song Yunsheng's movements.
Ming Yuezhu didn't really want to get involved in this mess. She even wanted to rush out right now and tell the stupid Father Li that Song Jiaye was the real golden grandson of the Song family. Don't mistake the fish eye for the pearl.
After all, Ming Yuexin and Ming Yuezhu were sisters. Ming Yuexin could guess what Ming Yuezhu was thinking. She advised, "Sister, don't do anything stupid. Old Master Song did so many things to hide Song Jiaye's identity back then. Both he and Song Jiaye have asked us not to tell others."
Ming Yuezhu nodded. Although she was angry, she wasn't completely out of her mind.
Ming Yuexin suggested, "But I think you can talk to Song Jiaye about this and let him be on guard."
But then Ming Yuexin thought her suggestion was a bit redundant.
"Forget it. What kind of person is Song Jiaye? Does he need our worry?"
"Moreover, I don't know how to say it. I can't just go to Song Jiaye and say, 'Watch your wife. Be careful she gets seduced by someone with bad intentions.' What would Song Jiaye think of Xiyu?"
Just when the family had just settled down a bit, Ming Yuezhu didn't want to see these two ancestors quarreling.
When the two sisters said this, they both sighed deeply.
They were worrying their heads off for the Song family's affairs, but the people involved seemed to be fine. Li Qiyu was in the room building a castle with Li Tong. The two were having a great time. When Song Jiaye walked in, he saw two kids, one big and one small, discussing how to build the door better.
Song Jiaye walked over and wanted to help, but was stopped by Li Qiyu.
"Don't come. You're so clumsy. Be careful not to break it."
Just as she finished speaking, her hand felt heavy, and most of the castle collapsed.
She was quickly proven wrong.
Song Jiaye sat cross - legged on the floor like them and looked at Li Qiyu leisurely, just to see how she would excuse herself.
"Oops, it was just a momentary mistake, right, Tongtong? Let's do it again."
Li Tong didn't dare to ask Li Qiyu to do it again. He looked at her pleadingly and said, "Big Aunt, how about we let Uncle do it instead?"
After all, this was already the third castle that Li Qiyu had destroyed.
"What, do you look down on me?"
Song Jiaye said with a smile, saving both of them from the awkward situation.
"Little Tong thinks you've been with him for so long and you're tired, so he wants someone else to take over."
Li Tong nodded like a rattle, afraid that Li Qiyu would destroy the remaining half of the castle.
Only then was Li Qiyu satisfied. She gave up her seat to Song Jiaye and watched as Song Jiaye and Li Tong slowly built the castle. While watching, she tried to defend herself, "I'm very dexterous. I can even embroider. It's just that I've never played with this stuff before."
Song Jiaye and Li Tong just thought she was boasting and just smiled it off.
Suddenly, Li Qiyu asked, "Song Jiaye, what do you think of that Song Yunsheng...?"
Song Jiaye came here for a reason.
Jiang Yongfeng had just pulled him aside and told him that the servant had seen Li Xiyu chatting privately with Song Yunsheng. Jiang Yongfeng didn't say much. She just said she was worried that if the news that Li Xiyu had a bad mind spread, it would have an impact on Li Xiyu.
Of course, Song Jiaye wasn't stupid. The main reason why Jiang Yongfeng told him this was probably because she was afraid that her daughter's good marriage would fall through.
Song Jiaye could understand Jiang Yongfeng. For Jiang Yongfeng, Song Yunsheng was an ideal son - in - law. It was only natural for her to be nervous and want to hold on to this opportunity.
But suspecting Li Xiyu was a bit too much.
In front of Jiang Yongfeng, Song Jiaye said, "Xiyu will know what to do." and brushed it off.
But actually, he was very worried about Li Xiyu. It wasn't that he was worried about Li Xiyu falling in love with someone else. Since they had already talked things through, even if Li Xiyu really fell in love with someone else, he would bless her generously.
It's just that if she were to fall in love with someone else, she should at least pick a better person.
