Chapter 70 Si Yao summons soldiers to bully Qingbao and her daughter.
"I know, don't you know my character? Among those soldiers in the army, when have I ever actually fought them?"
Si Yao brought up her own experience in training soldiers.
Even when she punished the soldiers, she only made them run a few laps with sandbags tied to their bodies.
She wouldn't be too harsh on women, because everyone knew she understood the hardships women faced.
“You can’t compare them to Si He; Si He is, after all, a woman,” Su Xiao kept trying to justify his actions.
Si Yao said, "As a fellow woman, who doesn't know that I feel most sorry for women? Even if you feel sorry for her, Xiao Ge, you should also think about yourself."
Su Xiao had nothing to say. "I trust you completely."
"But, Brother Xiao, Sihe now has the power to manage the household, and I'm afraid the servants won't listen to me anymore. Can I call my brothers here? Once they've been questioned, I'll send them away without them lingering!"
Si Yao looked troubled, but quickly offered a suggestion.
She finally understood why she was always bullied in the inner quarters.
The reason is that her brothers who had risked their lives with her in the military camp were not in the inner quarters to help her handle such matters.
If even a few of her five hundred brothers came, Si He would probably have to kneel down and beg her to show mercy!
How dare they ride roughshod over her like that!
“That’s not appropriate. Since ancient times, there has never been any reason for an outsider to enter the inner quarters.” Su Xiao immediately refused.
Putting aside how many women there are in the mansion, if this gets out, what will people think of the reputation of the General's Mansion?
"But the servants at home won't listen to me anymore, how am I supposed to get that pen back for you!" Si Yao stomped her foot in anger.
"I didn't let them in to have affairs with anyone. Once the matter is cleared up, they'll be sent out. What's wrong with that!"
She didn't understand why there were stewards, servants, and many men in the mansion.
Why can't people outside come in and help her?
If her brothers had been with her at the city gate, she wouldn't have been isolated and helpless, forcing the gate guards to be transferred away.
She was dismissed from her post before she could even officially assume the position of general.
Those dozen or so gatekeepers deserve to die; their deaths only dragged her down with them.
“Isn’t Mengxue here? She brought people with her. You can use her people,” Su Xiao said to Si Yao after a moment of thought.
Si Yao complained directly, "Those two old women were beaten by Si He just now. They wouldn't dare to do anything to Si He except for the men outside."
"Such a thing is true?" Su Xiao's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Since Sihe is so unreasonable, I'm sure Mengxue won't give it to her even if she takes people to ask for it. So, I'll send two soldiers I trust with you."
At this point, Su Xiao's brows furrowed with anger.
It wasn't that he wanted to invite outsiders into the inner courtyard to bully others, but rather that Si He was simply too unreasonable.
They even dared to hit the old woman from the Minister's mansion.
If two soldiers weren't sent to accompany her, she definitely wouldn't hand over that magical pen.
"Alright, I'll wait. I'll wait for those two soldiers to come over, and then I'll interrogate Si He. I'll definitely get that pen for you."
Si Yao gave a big, carefree laugh and patted Su Xiao on the shoulder.
Like good brothers.
"Yes, I trust you to do things."
Su Xiao felt that she was still as generous and cheerful as before, and would definitely be reliable in doing things.

When the two brothers received the general's orders, everything was renewed.
A look of astonishment flashed in his eyes.
"Wasn't the general attacked by evil spirits and on the verge of death? How did he wake up?" Liu Gengxin asked, holding the envelope with a puzzled look on his face.
Liu Wanxiang glanced at him helplessly, "Don't let the general hear what you said, or he'll give you ten lashes."
Liu Gengxin quickly changed the subject, "The letter said that we need to go to the Su family and follow General Si's orders. Could something serious have happened?"
"It should be, otherwise we wouldn't need to do this. Let's go over first, and we can also check on how our little benefactor is doing."
Liu Wanxiang immediately prepared his things and got ready to go to the capital with his younger brother.
Their village was the closest to the city gate, so it wasn't surprising that such a thing happened to them.
After walking only one mile, they arrived in the capital.
When Si Yao heard that the helper Su Xiao had sent for her had arrived, she immediately stood up from her chair with great joy.
Su Mengxue looked puzzled. "What helper? Sister Yao, what are you keeping me here for?"
Her cheek was still a little sore from the slap she had just received.
It was bright red, and an egg was being applied to it.
Si Yao raised her chin and said smugly, "Qingbao stole Mengmeng's things, and Si He is protecting her. She refuses to hand them over no matter what, and the servants won't listen to me."
“Your brother sent two soldiers over. They’ll bring your men and teach them a lesson. They’ll make them spit out what they’ve got.”
These words were spoken.
Su Mengxue's eyes lit up. "Really? My brother actually dotes on you so much that he allows you to bring men into the inner quarters."
You should know that the rules of the Minister's family are very strict. Not to mention men from outside the family, even her brother had to get his mother's permission in advance if he wanted to enter the inner quarters.
This shows how much her brother loves Si Yao.
"Of course. As long as I ask, Brother Xiao will definitely not refuse me, because we are not only husband and wife, but also brothers and comrades who have lived and died together. This kind of relationship is something that a woman like Si He, who stays at home, can't compare to."
Si Yao had a bright smile on her face, looking very proud.
She and Xiao Ge went through thick and thin together, their relationship was deep and touching. Si He and he had always been very ordinary. What man would like her?
"That's great, Sister Yao! Quickly call in the helpers. I can't wait to get my revenge."
Su Mengxue covered her aching face, a hint of malice flashing in her eyes.
She disliked Sihe since she was a child, but the adults all liked her.
I don't know what kind of spell Sihe cast on everyone, but this annoying person even used her to hit me in public!
This is an utter disgrace!
She wasn't going to let this go, and now she had a chance.
The two brothers, Wanxiang Gengxin, moved quickly and were brought before Siyao by the maid.
He clasped his hands in a military salute towards Si Yao.
"General Si."
"General Si."
Si Yao was in high spirits, and she couldn't help but smile. She deliberately kept a few of her servants behind, watching as the two soldiers treated her with utmost respect.
"You have received General Su's instructions. Follow me."
After saying that, she led her two brothers, along with five or six old women behind Su Mengxue, to Sihe Courtyard.
Si He's courtyard had not yet been filled with servants, but Si Yao had summoned all the servants from the General's Mansion.
She wanted these two soldiers to help her avenge her previous humiliation!
Si Yao kicked over the stone table in the courtyard with a loud bang, and shouted loudly:
"Si He, come out here!"
