Butler and others: ...

Although they remain silent, it doesn't mean they are dead!

Can't you see them?

"Remember to practice martial arts diligently. I'll check on you during the New Year. If you pass, I'll give you a pony."

"real?"

Chang Sheng's eyes lit up, and he hugged Huo Chenyi's leg, whining and showering him with compliments as if they were free.

You can hardly imagine that such a young child could have so many words!

"certainly."

"Thank you, sir!"

“Idiot, you should call him Uncle,” Chi Dashan corrected his youngest son.

Changsheng retorted defiantly, "But my brothers all call me 'brother' too!"

The words are a bit convoluted, but the meaning is very clear.

The children in the family, including Xiao Suotou, Silang, and An'an, all call Huo Chenyi "brother".

Chi Dashan sighed, "You've all made this seniority look terrible!"

There weren't many complicated seniority distinctions, yet these little brats managed to make a complete mess of it all.

However, Huo Chenyi didn't mind, so everyone kept quiet.

It's not a big deal after all; as long as everyone's happy.

"Goodbye, Brother Chenyi!"

"Bye-Bye!"

The family climbed into the carriage and soon set off.

Chi Tang originally intended to take a nap in the car.

But for some reason, the carriage was very bumpy today, and Chi Tang couldn't sleep, so she simply sat up and continued to delve into her thoughts and study things.

The Chi family was already used to this. Seeing Chi Tang sitting with her eyes closed and looking extremely serious, they subconsciously kept quiet to avoid disturbing her.

"Hey, have you heard? The old lady of the Yongchang Earl's mansion is probably not going to make it."

"Really? Wasn't the old lady supposed to be quite energetic?"

"It seems like they've been poisoned."

"An elderly lady from an earl's household was poisoned? What happened?"

Hearing the murmurs outside the carriage, Aunt Chi whispered, "The Yongchang Earl's Mansion? Isn't that..."

"It's Young Master Shen's family!"

Sister-in-law Chi immediately said.

Although they couldn't distinguish between so many noble families in the capital, they could remember the Yongchang Earl's Mansion!

After all, An'an was sold to the Yongchang Earl's Mansion back then.

"Madam Shen... isn't that Young Master Shen's grandmother? I wonder if Young Master Shen knows about this."

Old Man Chi lifted the carriage curtain and looked outside, mainly to listen to the discussions outside.

I noticed that everyone was discussing the Yongchang Earl's Mansion.

"This capital city is in such chaos. How could the old lady of the Earl's mansion be poisoned to death?"

Sister-in-law Chi rubbed her arms, feeling goosebumps rising on her skin.

This is truly terrifying.

In the capital, what is the heart of the people? Perhaps not everyone possesses it.

"Yes, the capital is too chaotic. I will never settle down in the capital. I think our Pinghe Town is much better."

Aunt Chi murmured.

At this age, having just lost Aunt Li and witnessing her mother's aging, Aunt Chi was already feeling a sense of fear about life and death when she heard all this.

The reason she reacted so strongly when the man said he was afraid he wouldn't live to see his daughter get married was because she knew that what he said was very likely true.

Especially her.

Having given birth to so many children, endured so much worry, and even suffered a serious illness, her health...

Will I be able to live to see my daughter get married?

Aunt Chi was unsure of what was going on and was terrified of the matter, which is why she got agitated as soon as the man brought it up.

"Yes. Living in Pinghe Town makes it convenient to come to the capital, and most importantly, the people are nice and there aren't many problems."

Old Man Chi couldn't wait to get home right now.

I never thought Pinghe Town was that great before, but now...

"Sigh. I wonder if Young Master Shen has heard the news yet? People, what's wrong with them..."

"Let's go check on them when we get home. If they don't know, we'll tell them."

"good."

The carriage moved slowly along, inconspicuous on the bustling street.

A private room in a restaurant.

A man sat by the window, gazing at the bustling city below. Suddenly, he stared at a carriage and asked casually:

"That must be the Chi family's carriage, right?"

"yes."

The man twirled the Buddhist prayer beads in his hand, took a sip of wine, and his eyes gleamed: "It seems he's still a bit indecisive. I need to give him another hand."

"Now that Madam Shen is certain to die... it can't be considered a matter of grief and despair, can it?"

The woman behind him couldn't help but say something.

She never expected that person would make such an exception.

After all, they're his own flesh and blood!

The man turned around calmly, his eyes tender and affectionate, as if he were looking at the person he loved most in the world.

"Just because you say it's not true doesn't mean it isn't."

"Master! I, I didn't mean that."

"Keep your heart safe and don't use it carelessly."

The woman bit her lip and said nothing more.

Her heart?

Her heart has always been with you, Master! Why can't you understand?

I've always loved you.

"How's Zhu Zhuliang's matter going?" the man suddenly thought of something and asked softly.

The woman immediately replied, "Master, don't worry. Although Zhu Zhuliang has some skills, our sect has always been operating in secret, and all members are under our control. It's impossible for Zhu Zhuliang to find out anything."

"If Zhu Zhuliang can't find anything out, then tell me, why is Zhu Zhuliang clinging to that lead now?"

There was a hint of anger between the man's gentle brows!

It's best not to be too confident!
