After ten years of absence, the true daughter of the Song family, the Imperial Censor's household, has returned.
She has a hideous face and crude manners, resembling a country bumpkin or ...
Chapter 12 Jump down yourself! Don't force me to do it!
Inside Jiuyou Hall, Qiuyue and Qiushuang, ignoring their duties as maids, had already gone to bed.
Lai's mother was guarding the door alone. When she saw Song Mo rushing over, she instinctively stood up and called out, "Fifth Young Master..."
"Get out of my way!"
Song Mo kicked Lai's mother away: "Who do you think you are, daring to block my way?!"
Lai's mother broke out in a cold sweat from the kick and hurriedly got up to stop Song Mo: "Fifth Young Master!"
"Behind me is the young lady's boudoir!"
The strict separation of men and women has existed since ancient times.
Even siblings who are blood relatives still have to follow certain rules of etiquette when they grow up!
Song Mo is Si Niannian's older brother, but he can't just barge into Si Niannian's room in the middle of the night!
Otherwise, if word gets out, it will become a laughing stock!
Song Mo was so angry that veins bulged on his forehead. He turned around in place like a trapped beast and said, "Fine, I won't go in!"
"Go and call Si Niannian out right now!"
"Go quickly!"
"Fifth Young Master," Madam Lai said, enduring the pain as she stood up straight, shaking her head firmly, "The eldest young lady instructed that no one may enter without her permission."
Whether Si Niannian inside was asleep or deliberately hiding, the noise outside the door didn't elicit any sound from her.
Qiuyue and Qiushuang did get up, but neither of them dared to provoke Song Mo's anger. They simply stood far away under the eaves and watched.
She is now the head housekeeper of Jiuyou Hall, so she must guard this door!
Song Mo was so enraged that he was clearly not listening to anything anyone said.
If Si Niannian really runs into him, that would be a real disaster!
"Stop spouting nonsense!"
Song Mo grabbed Lai Mama's arm, trying to shake her off, and angrily said, "A poisonous woman who wants to kill Han'er, what kind of master does she think she is?!"
Lai's mother didn't dare to resist and was thrown out by Song Mo. Song Mo kicked the door open and said, "Si Niannian, get out here!"
"Fifth Young Master, you can't go in!"
Lai's mother almost cried as she watched Song Mo rush in: "He can't go in!"
"What are you all standing there for?" Lai's mother roared at Qiuyue and Qiushuang, who were already stunned. "Hurry up and go report to the master and madam!"
If anything goes wrong tonight, none of them will be out of luck!
Qiuyue and Qiushuang rushed out in a hurry.
Before Lai's mother even ran into the house, she heard Song Mo throwing things around: "I know you're in the house, so don't try to hide if you dare!"
Song Mo grabbed a stool and smashed the tea set on the table, kicking and smashing it like a madman: "Get out here!"
As Lai's mother watched Song Mo rush past the shattered screen, her vision blurred and she almost fainted on the spot!
The bed is behind the screen!
If Si Niannian were to sleep in the bed, wouldn't that be...?
"Where is she?" Song Mo suddenly turned his head, his reddened eyes fixed on Lai's mother. "Where is Si Niannian?"
Why isn't Si Niannian in the house in the middle of the night?
Lai's mother stared in disbelief at the empty bed, speechless.
A dangerous glint flashed in Song Mo's eyes: "She ran away? Or did you hide her?"
Si Niannian just returned to the Song family today.
Besides this old woman who truly treats Si Niannian like her master, who else would help her?
Lai's mother was covered in cold sweat.
Song Mo approached step by step: "Old man, where did you hide him?"
Madam Lai instinctively took a few steps back, then knelt down with a thud, saying, "Fifth Young Master, the eldest young lady only hid because she was frightened by you, but where else can she go besides this home?"
The young woman, still in her boudoir, has vanished without a trace in the dead of night.
If even the slightest error is conveyed in this message, it would be a fatal blunder!
Lai's mother insisted that Si Niannian was just hiding and desperately kowtowed, begging Song Mo to show leniency.
But Song Mo's pent-up anger reached its peak at this moment.
Song Mo sneered, "Fine, you won't tell me, huh?"
"You are indeed very loyal to her, but I wonder how long your loyalty as master and servant can withstand interrogation!"
"asparagus!"
Song Mo summoned his servant and said sternly, "Drag this old woman out and give her thirty lashes to pry her mouth open!"
"Send people to search Jiuyou Hall thoroughly, inside and out! Look carefully!"
If you can't find Si Niannian even after searching the entire Jiuyou Hall, then...
"Fifth Young Master, you can't..."
"Drag him out!"
"You dare!"
Upon hearing the sound, Song Mo subconsciously turned her head. When Lai Mama turned her head and saw Si Niannian standing outside the window, a huge weight was lifted from her heart, and she blurted out, "Miss, go find Madam quickly!"
"Run!"
Song Mo has a bad temper, and apart from the adults and his wife, no one in the family can stop him!
Si Niannian glanced at Lai's mother through the window, and her eyes immediately darkened with a cold, somber look.
Everything was fine when she went out.
But now that Lai's mother has a cut on her forehead and a footprint on her chest, it's obvious who did it.
While Si Niannian was relieved that she had returned in time, she stared at Song Mo from afar without moving.
A sinister sneer appeared on Song Mo's face: "So you're that ugly bastard?"
"You're quite clever; you actually knew to climb out the window and hide beforehand."
Si Niannian pressed down the corners of her lips.
Song Mo scoffed and slammed the stool down on him: "You think you can get away with this?"
"Who gave you the audacity to lay a hand on Han'er?!"
Bang!
After a terrifyingly loud crash, the stool smashed a large hole in the window.
Si Niannian dodged in time and wasn't hit, but Song Mo, like a mad dog, jumped over the window and landed in front of Si Niannian.
Song Mo gritted his teeth: "Do you think that just because you've just come back, no one in this house will dare to discipline you?"
The red spots hidden under Si Niannian's arm throbbed faintly, as if they were silently screaming their grievances.
These are the original owner's siblings.
They are siblings with the same father and mother, connected by blood.
Si Niannian simply raised the corner of her eye calmly, the blade tucked in her sleeve deftly and dangerously gliding across her fingertips, a half-smile on her face: "Who wants to bother me? You?"
“You have to call me Fifth Brother,” Song Mo sneered, “so of course I can take care of you!”
Lai's mother chased after him, and just then saw Song Mo grab Si Niannian's wrist.
Lai's mother said anxiously, "No, you can't!"
"The young lady went into the water to save someone today, her body..."
"Shut up!"
Song Mo said angrily, "If she hadn't had malicious intentions, no one would have fallen into the water!"
"Fifth Young Master..."
"Si Niannian!"
Song Mo pulled Si Niannian so hard she stumbled, and said through gritted teeth, "But I am still your fifth brother, how could I bear to hurt you?"
"So don't worry, little sister, your fifth brother won't really take your life!"
A murderous glint flashed in Si Niannian's eyes, and she was about to make a move when she heard Lai's mother shout, "Qiuyue and the others have already gone to report the news!"
"The master and madam will be here soon, Fifth Young Master, you can't just mumble..."
Si Niannian paused silently.
Unaware of anything amiss, Song Mo dragged her toward the artificial hill and water.
Not far from Jiuyou Hall is the place where you fell into the water today.
Song Mo tossed Si Niannian aside and gave a cold smile to the lake water that shimmered with boundless chill: "See this lake?"
"Don't force me to take action."
"Jump down yourself!"
