The Duke of Dingguo's legs went weak.

Sisi waited until he knelt down before looking at Lao Bai.

Old Bai grabbed the Duke of Dingguo and lifted him up. "Duke, what's wrong with you? Is your armor too heavy? We're just visiting your house, why are you dressed so formally? Anyone who didn't know better would think you were going to war."

The Duke of Dingguo was filled with regret!

The Duke of Dingguo wished he could take off his armor immediately!

But what's even more deadly than the armor is that question, "Do you want to take this a step further?"

The Duke of Dingguo looked at Sisi with a face full of anxiety and said, "I didn't mean that, I just... I just... I just..."

The Duke of Dingguo wanted to say that he simply wanted to find a better place for his deceased parents. However, this statement seemed to confirm Sisi's idea of ​​"taking things a step further."

The Duke of Dingguo was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.

Seeing that his father had only said "that's right" three times without getting to the bottom of it, the heir of the Duke of Dingguo quickly said, "Hello, Miss Yun Liu. My father has no other intentions. He's just easily swayed and has been tricked by others."

Upon hearing this, the Duke of Dingguo grasped at a straw. "Yes, yes, yes! I was tricked by someone else."

Sisi readily accepted it. "Indeed. With your current status and your relationship with His Majesty, you are indeed easy to be targeted, especially by those remnants of the previous dynasty."

The master's face paled even more.

The Duke of Dingguo knelt down again.

If the person who tricked him into moving the grave is truly a remnant of the previous dynasty, then... then wouldn't His Majesty think he's trying to collude with the remnants of the previous dynasty...?

Old Bai lifted the Duke of Dingguo up. "Why do you keep sliding on the ground? Are you sick? If you are, go see a doctor right away." Wearing armor to see a little monster, the little monster will scare you to death.

The Duke of Dingguo wanted to say that those who were deceiving him were not remnants of the previous dynasty, but what if they were? If they were, wouldn't he be accused of deliberately protecting those people?

bump!

The Duke of Dingguo knelt down again.

This time, no matter how much Lao Bai tried to pull him up, he wouldn't get up.

"Sixth Miss, I was wrong. I shouldn't have listened to their nonsense, and I shouldn't have disrespected you. Sixth Miss, please show me the right way. I was just confused for a moment, I really didn't mean anything by it. Sixth Miss, I was wrong, please forgive me."

Sisi took a step to the side. "Uncle Zhang, what are you doing? Uncle Zhang, it's not that I don't want to give you advice, it's just that someone as easily swayed as you needs someone to constantly remind you. How about this, let your eldest son handle this matter. Doesn't His Highness the Crown Prince think highly of your eldest son?"

"If your eldest son can handle this matter well, then you should listen to his opinions more often in the future. Alright, you two handle it, I'm leaving. Oh, and you should thank the wife of the magistrate of Ping'an County properly."

"If it weren't for her feeling sorry for her husband and being afraid that he would be worried to death, and she hadn't come all the way to ask me to persuade you, you would be waiting for others to gossip about you."

After saying that, Sisi left with Lao Bai.

The Duke of Dingguo wanted to go and think about it, but he didn't dare.

The heir of the Duke of Dingguo was surprised that Sisi would entrust this matter to him. "Father?"

My father now wants to beat the feng shui master who did his job to death! "Arrest him! He might be a remnant of the previous dynasty! If he escapes, we'll be in big trouble! Arrest him! Arrest him!"

"good."

The heir of the Duke of Dingguo had long disliked the master. After all, he was the heir to the Duke of Dingguo's mansion, yet the master showed him no respect whatsoever.

After arresting the master, the father and son began to discuss what to do next.

Soon after, the Duke of Dingguo's confidants rode their horses toward Ping'an County.

Putting everything else aside, we need to get the craftsmen back first. It would be even more troublesome if the craftsmen and the villagers started fighting.

On the other side, Lao Bai looked at Sisi and said, "Well, you're getting better and better at scaring people."

“I wasn’t trying to scare him. The feng shui master who helped him choose the site definitely has a problem.”

Old Bai thought about it and agreed. There are plenty of places with good feng shui, so why did that feng shui master specifically choose this place as a sacred site? "Little monster, do you think that mountain is truly a sacred site?"

Sisi glanced at Lao Bai. "What holy land? The person who had the dream probably thought there might be a water vein there, but wasn't sure. So he had his wife tell the villagers that he had a dream. That way, even if they couldn't find a water source, it would be the villagers' own choice."

"Wouldn't he have missed an opportunity to be admired and appreciated by the villagers?"

"Yes. Ordinary people generally prefer stability. He would rather attribute the credit to the deceased clan chief than take risks. It's not that he's unwilling, but rather that he can't afford to."

Indeed. If he can't find water, the villagers will probably blame him, and might even kick his family out of the village.

Seeing that Lao Bai and Sisi had returned, Feng Chan wanted to go out for a stroll. Had Sisi already told her how to resolve the situation?

Before they even left their homes, the Duchess of Dingguo arrived. She brought a pile of gifts with her.

Feng Chan suspected that she had moved all the good things from her house.

Sisi confiscated it. Sisi told her that although the war was over, they couldn't let their guard down. How many people didn't die on the battlefield but died because of sweet words? Died because of trying to please others?

Also, don't think that just because you're a meritorious person you can do whatever you want.

How many people are waiting for a hero to make a mistake?

Are we waiting to take over what these heroes risked their lives for?

Sisi said a few words and then let her take her things and go back.

She wanted to accompany Sisi and Fengchan for a stroll, but Sisi said, "You should go back and take care of your family matters first. Even if you come with us now, you won't be in the mood to tell us about the delicious food and beautiful scenery here."
