After hearing Lao Bai's words, both the pursuer and the pursued panicked!

The pursuer: We were almost there, but then we ran into the young master's niece! What if the young master finds out we're acting in his name...?

The pursuer: I was about to escape, how did I end up on my enemy's grandniece's boat?! Isn't this like walking into a trap?!

Sisi glanced at their expressions. "Tell me, what happened?"

Just as the head servant and the girl were about to speak, a young man came running up, panting. "Yao...Yao Si, I...I'll see...where do you think you're going? Get down!"

The girl hid behind the boy. "No! If you... if you keep pushing me, I'll jump into the river!"

"Go ahead and jump! I'll fish you out after you jump!"

"You! Why do you keep bothering me? You're married now!"

"You can take a concubine even after you're married."

"I will not be a concubine."

"If you don't become my concubine, you'll never get married."

"I'd rather never marry than be your concubine!"

"Do you think you can have your way? Get down!"

"No!"

Sisi rolled her eyes. She thought it was something serious. "Old Bai, throw him in the river."

"Okay!"

In the blink of an eye, Lao Bai threw the young man who had chased after him into the river.

The young man then noticed Sisi. "How dare you throw me into the river! Do you know who I am? Do you have a death wish?"

Snap!

Sisi smacked the young man with her fishing rod. "What's the big deal about throwing you into the river? I could kill you and still live."

The young man winced in pain. "Who are you?"

The head servant shrank back. "Master, she said she's the niece of the Duke of Weiyuan."

The young man was extremely upset after hearing this.

If Sisi hadn't thrown him into the river and beaten him, he might still have doubted her identity. Now...

The young man looked at Sisi with a nervous expression and asked, "Which of my great-uncle's nieces are you?"

"Sixth niece."

The young man wanted to cry. Meeting his great-uncle's niece was bad enough, but she was the most formidable one. "Sixth cousin, let me explain."

"Speak."

Can I get out of the water first?

"cannot."

"...My sixth cousin, she and her brother are surnamed Yao. Their father was an official in the previous dynasty. I wanted to marry her back then, but her family disagreed. Not only did they disagree, they also sent people to make things difficult for me. I couldn't swallow this insult, so...so I wanted to force her to become my concubine."

Sisi thought to herself, "If it were me, I wouldn't even like you." "Are you always bothering her?"

Young Master Yao: "He not only harasses my sister every day, but he also bribes the people around my sister to give him my sister's personal items."

Sisi wanted to slap him again. "You're really something."

“I…I just want to marry her. Sixth cousin, they not only bullied me, they also bullied my father.”

Sisi glanced at him sideways. "It's the father's fault if the son is not taught properly."

"...Sixth cousin, her father was an official in the previous dynasty."

"Her father's affairs are the responsibility of the imperial court. But I'm in charge of yours. I'm asking you, who gave you permission to do this kind of thing under my uncle's name?"

"...My grandmother was heartbroken when they were dealing with me and my father. She was so heartbroken that she fell ill."

Sisi raised an eyebrow. "You mean your grandmother let you do bad things under my uncle's name?"

Yeah, if you're so capable, go find my grandmother. She's your elder. "My grandmother almost... almost..."

Sisi smiled. "Oh, is that so? Then I'll have to tell my great-grandfather. He'll definitely be heartbroken if he finds out."

Oops!

He forgot about his great-grandfather!

His sixth cousin can't do anything to his grandmother, but his great-grandfather can.

"Sixth...Sixth cousin, I think we shouldn't tell my great-grandfather about this. He's so old, I don't want him to worry."

"It's alright. Your great-grandfather practices persuasion every day, and he's in better spirits than you. Okay, come on up."

The young man climbed out of the river, feeling dejected. "Sixth Cousin, I was wrong, please don't tell Great-Grandpa."

“That won’t do. Your great-grandfather only has two daughters. What if… what if… how could your great-grandfather bear it? Alright, you go back now. I’m leaving too. Old Bai, set sail.”

"Okay!"

In the blink of an eye, the boat reached the center of the river.

"Sixth cousin, sixth cousin, don't go! Aren't you going to pay your respects to my grandmother? My grandmother is your great-aunt."

"No, tell your grandmother that her eldest nephew's title was earned with his life, not picked up by chance."

Sisi had never planned to visit her great-aunt in the first place, and now she's even less likely to go. What kind of person is she? Her uncle just received a title and they're already using him to intimidate people. She's determined to get her great-grandfather to discipline his daughter.

In a short while, Sisi disappeared without a trace.

The young man, enraged, kicked the head servant. "How can you be so stupid? You can't even catch one person!"

The head servant quickly admitted his mistake. "Yes, yes, it's all our fault. Young master, what do we do now?"

What else could we do? "Go back to the manor!"

On the other side, Sisi looked at the Yao siblings and asked, "Your father was a civil official, wasn't he?"

Yao Si: "Yes, how did you know?"

"If your father were a military general, he would have broken my cousin's legs long ago." She should know that her father was a military general.

Yao Si instantly felt that Sisi was truly on her side. "Thank you."

"You're welcome. Where would you like to go?"

"We don't know either. We just want to leave here first, and then make other plans."
