Aunt Hui was arranged from the Song Family Mansion to the Song Mansion five years ago to take care of Song Yansheng.
She is considered one of the people Yu Yao trusts greatly, and compared to Aunt Tong, who has already been sent away by Song Yansheng, she is more thoughtful and courteous in her actions.
Therefore, Yu Yao is also very reassured by her.
Back then, when Yu Yao planned to matchmake Song Yansheng and Chu Jingyun, Aunt Hui also mediated a bit in between.
But she knows her limits and doesn’t overstep like Aunt Tong did.
Otherwise, she would have been sent away by Song Yansheng long ago, just like Aunt Tong.
Seeing Chu Jingyun, Aunt Hui’s first instinct was to avoid her as much as possible.
She had learned of Aunt Tong’s fate and had previously found a chance to speak with Yu Yao over the phone.
Yu Yao’s intention was already very clear: since it can’t be changed, then accept reality.
Aunt Hui has been taking care of the Song Family for many years and has witnessed the changes that have befallen them.
She feels for Yu Yao and for Song Yansheng, but after all, there is a difference between master and servant, and she cannot interfere too much.
But Chu Jingyun was persistent, she said: "Aunt Hui, you don’t have to avoid me, I’ve already implicated Aunt Tong, I definitely won’t implicate you again!"
Only then did Aunt Hui stop in her tracks, nodding slightly to Chu Jingyun as a greeting.
Chu Jingyun looked at Aunt Hui and said, "Actually, the reason I sought you out is to verify something with you, something about your Mr.... It’s just a verification, not involving privacy, you don’t need to be nervous!"
Aunt Hui nodded towards Chu Jingyun, politely saying: "Please ask, Miss Chu!"
Chu Jingyun hesitated for a moment before speaking slowly: "Aunt Hui, you are the housekeeper at the Song Mansion, always taking care of A Yu’s daily life, I know, now Shi Nuan... Shi Nuan has already moved into the Song Mansion, what I want to know is, is A Yu really... really particularly attentive to Shi Nuan? Are they getting along well? From your perspective as an outsider, do you find anything... particularly strange?"
Aunt Hui looked up and glanced at Chu Jingyun.
She roughly guessed that Miss Chu had learned about the matters between Miss Shi Nuan and Mr. Song.
But given Miss Shi Nuan’s identity, she probably couldn’t believe it, hence seeking her out for confirmation.
Aunt Hui said, "Their interaction... is indeed a bit strange, but..."
Chu Jingyun nervously clutched her bag.
"But I think it’s probably because they are not familiar enough with each other yet, once they become more familiar, it should gradually improve... As for attentiveness, Miss Shi Nuan is of a calm disposition and is nearly eight years younger than Mr. Song, so it’s only right that he takes care of her a little more!"
What Aunt Hui said wasn’t very clear, but she did affirm Song Yansheng’s attentiveness towards Shi Nuan.
Aunt Hui didn’t know how Chu Jingyun would think, but in her heart, she always felt that Shi Nuan was too cold.
Mr. Song has had a tough life since childhood and is a person of inherently cool temperament; he should find someone warm and passionate to spend his life with.
That way, life wouldn’t be so exhausting.
Of course, what extent this Miss Chu Jingyun could remain dedicated to Mr. Song could also be tested in this situation.
Half an hour later, after Shi Nuan and Song Yansheng finished their meal, Song Yansheng decided to take a walk in the courtyard.
By June, the breeze blowing on one’s face in the evening felt very comfortable; the Song Mansion was brightly lit, adorned with flowers, and in the night, it had its own unique charm.
On the same evening, Song Qingyang used the excuse of a friend’s birthday gathering to go out, although Song Zhongming disagreed.
Last time, she caused a scene at a banquet, embarrassing Yu Dou, and now she wants to go out again at this late hour. What if something goes wrong again?
