The Eldest Sister Has Space Chapter 3755: Surprised

Previously on The Eldest Sister Has Space...
Chichi and Song Yan set out early to visit Song Ruishu's tomb, arriving at the Song family's ancestral site before dawn. As Song Yan reflected on his childhood memories while paying his respects, an unexpected confrontation occurred with an angry man claiming to be the eldest of the Song family. Initially mistaking their intentions, he grew suspicious when he saw Song Yan burning offerings for his sister. Despite Song Yan's efforts to explain their connection to Ruishu, Boss Song remained skeptical, questioning their decorum and entry into the ancestral tomb. Tensions escalated as the two boys faced scrutiny from the family elder.

Boss Song demanded, "Tell the truth, who are you? If you continue to lie, I will take you to the officials."

As he spoke, his driver moved to stand right behind him.

With a two-on-two situation, Boss Song felt confident that these two teenagers wouldn't be able to gain the upper hand.

Chichi and Song Yan felt quite helpless; wasn't the situation obvious? They had avoided visiting the Song family formally specifically to prevent trouble, hoping their status wouldn't cause a scene.

Who could have predicted such a bizarre coincidence?

A conflict here was out of the question, and involving the government was even worse.

The two teenagers exchanged a glance, wondering if they should simply knock the men unconscious.

However, the moment that thought surfaced, they noticed the graves of the Song family ancestors surrounding them and immediately abandoned the idea.

After a moment of reflection, Song Yan suggested to Boss Song, "This isn't the right place for a conversation. Why don't we head down the mountain first?"

Boss Song scanned the area cautiously before nodding. "Extinguish that fire and follow me down. Don't try any tricks, or I won't be polite."

"We won't run, we definitely won't," they assured him.

Boss Song ordered them to walk in front. The group descended the mountain while talking, eventually boarding the carriage to return to the city and heading straight for the Song residence.

By the time they reached the Song family gates, Chichi and Song Yan had confirmed Boss Song's identity as well.

While Song Yan’s identity had to remain hidden, it didn't matter if Chichi was recognized. He had entered the city the day before, and Xiaolu’s group had already identified him.

Consequently, as soon as they stepped inside, Chichi revealed his status. "I was requested to visit the mountain to pay respects to Aunt Song. I didn't intend to cause a disturbance for your family. Please accept my apologies."

The members of the Song family were stunned. The Shizi of the Marquis of Yong’an? This was the Yong’an Hou Shizi?

Chichi explained that he had escorted Gu Ruyi back. The Song family was already aware that Gu Ruyi was the niece of the Marchioness of Yong’an, having heard it from Lady Lin and the others upon their return.

Therefore, it seemed perfectly logical that the Shizi would be the one to bring her home.

The Song family was generally well-informed; except for Boss Song, who had been staying at the manor outside the city and missed the news last night, everyone else was already aware of Gu Ruyi’s arrival.

Feeling a bit intimidated, the Song family hurriedly invited Chichi to be seated, neglecting to ask who had actually commissioned the ritual for Song Ruishu.

Chichi declined the invitation, stating that he needed to return to the Li residence and was preparing to depart.

The Song family didn't push the matter and saw them out politely.

Much later, after the pair had already departed from Feng County, Boss Song suddenly slapped his thigh in realization. "Wait, when we were on the mountain, I saw clearly that the one burning the paper was the driver. His eyes were even bloodshot from crying!"

Boss Song realized nothing added up. How could a driver and a Shizi be so familiar? Even in the Song family, there was a clear hierarchy between master and servant. How could they walk side-by-side, chatting and laughing like equals?

Furthermore, it was the driver who had claimed he was returning a childhood favor from his sister. How could he have been 'entrusted' by someone else?

When Boss Song shared these doubts with the rest of the family, they also became suspicious.

It wasn't until news reached them from the capital that Prince Li of the Kingdom of Li was visiting Dajin as an envoy that the Song family put the pieces together. They collectively gasped in shock.

So, the person who had visited that day was actually... the Prince of the Kingdom of Li?

One by one, their legs began to tremble with fear.

Of course, those events unfolded much later.

Currently, Chichi and Song Yan traveled directly from the Song house to the Li residence. Having completed their task in Feng County, they were ready to move on.

To their surprise, as soon as they entered the house, they found the Li family hosting guests.

Chichi paused, while Song Yan immediately took a step back and lowered his head to hide his face.

The people in the room rose to greet them, led by Pang Lang and his wife, Lady Luo, the proprietors of the Pang Family Cloth Manor.
