Chapter 101 Forcing Si He to Raise Su Mengmeng
"Huh? Is that ghost named Si Yao?" Qingbao asked.
Ox-Head and Horse-Face exchanged a glance.
"I think so, Si Yao or something Yao."
"Hmm, Sister Qing, since you left, there hasn't been a new judge at the Gates of Hell. Do you want to come down and deal with it? After all, that ghost's resentment is extremely strong."
"With such great resentment, how could it enter the underworld?" Qingbao wondered.
Horse-faced said, "She couldn't get in, so she kept shouting at the door, it was so noisy."
"Okay, as long as she can't get in, let her shout. Just ignore her."
Qingbao waved with a smile, yawned, and prepared to go back to sleep.
"No, Sister Qing, aren't you really going to do anything about it?" Niu Tou shouted.
Qingbao: "I'm busy tonight, I'm too tired."
The little guy happily went back to sleep.
The thought of Si Yao crying and shouting in the underworld but not being able to see the judge made her laugh.

The next day.
Sure enough, Su Xiao brought Su Mengmeng to their door.
“Sihe, Mengmeng has no mother. You are her legal mother and should raise her.”
Su Mengmeng, dressed in white, hid behind Su Xiao, biting her lower lip, looking miserable.
Si He sat upright, looking at him coldly, "I won't support her."
“She has no mother,” Su Xiao said. “What are you going to do with her?”
"Then let her go find her mother. Her mother is causing trouble at the gates of the underworld." Qingbao came out rubbing her sleepy eyes.
She was also dressed in white, but it was just her pajamas.
The little one stood next to Si He, who picked her up. "Why didn't you sleep a little longer?"
So sleepy, yet still having to come out and speak up for her mother, it's really tough on this baby.
“I’m afraid Mother’s words aren’t vicious enough, and they won’t give up their evil intentions,” Qingbao said crisply.
Her eyes, rubbed shut and still watery, were not fully open yet.
Si He tenderly patted her head, pressing down the stray hairs sticking up on Qingbao's head.
"Qingbao, you have no right to speak here. You obtained your title by stepping on my military merits and the life of Mengmeng's mother. Aren't you satisfied yet?"
Su Xiao's expression was serious; this time, he would not yield an inch.
Qingbao scratched her head. "I didn't step on it. That's called karma, and people get what they deserve."
"You..." Su Xiao was about to say something when Su Mengmeng tugged at his sleeve.
Su Mengmeng bit her lip, "Sister Qingbao, I know I did some things wrong in the past, and you don't like me, but..."
"Father is only doing this for my own good. Don't blame him. I'm not trying to take Mother away from you. I just... envy you..."
I envy Qingbao for having both the title of county princess and the mother of a general.
If it weren't for that pen that appeared in Sujia Village and saved Qingbao's life...
All of these should belong to her now.
"Then you must be envious," Qingbao said, cupping her mother's face in her two little hands.
I gave my mother a quick kiss on the cheek.
The mother and daughter had a very good relationship.
Su Mengmeng was so jealous that she gripped her skirt tightly.
“Sihe, you are the matriarch of the family, and you should think about the children of the Su family. Even if Siyao has wronged you, Mengmeng is innocent.”
Su Xiao frowned as he watched the mother and daughter together, but he didn't feel any warmth at all.
On the contrary, it's a bit of an eyesore.
If Sihe had another child, Mengmeng, it would be wonderful.
In this way, their family of four can be together.
“As the head of the household, I will naturally make plans for the children of the Su family. However, Su Mengmeng was born to a concubine and should rightfully be regarded as her legitimate mother.”
"How could her status suddenly become that of a legitimate daughter? I think it's not that she lacks planning, but that you, General, are trying to find benefits for her."
Si He spoke in a nonchalant tone, without even glancing at them.
Su Xiao clenched his fists. "What are you saying? Even though Si Yao is only a secondary wife, she shouldn't have been reduced to a concubine!"
"Then why didn't you divorce her? Can her memorial tablet be placed in the ancestral hall?" Si He asked.
Su Xiao choked up.
It's impossible.
Before Si Yao died, he had already thrown out the letter of divorce, and there was no possibility of taking it back.
He thought that this would sever the bad karma caused by the two of them being together, but he never expected that he would feel a pang of heartache after she actually died.
“Take Su Mengmeng back and raise her the same way you raised her before. I will make plans for this for you.”
Si He dismissed him.
"No, you must raise her. It's shameful for her to not have a proper mother," Su Xiao said sternly.
Qingbao added quietly, "The point is, she's not exactly upright herself, so what's so shameful about it?"
These words almost made Su Mengmeng cry again.
How could Qingbao say that about her?
"Qingbao, shut your mouth!" Su Xiao was almost driven crazy by her.
Everyone says daughters are like warm cotton-padded jackets, but Qingbao is an ungrateful wretch who can't be raised.
"I can't control him, I can't control him, but I'll be able to control him once you leave," Qingbao replied nonchalantly.
Su Xiaoqi laughed.
"Sihe, I'm telling you, I don't believe you. You just wait and see."
With a flick of his sleeve.
The man left angrily.
"Oh, Mommy, look, he's gone to find help!" Qingbao teased with a "yo-yo-yo" expression.
Si He smiled gently, "It's alright, even if more help comes, it won't be a problem."
Su Xiao first went to the Si family.
After leaving the Si family, I went to the Li family, where my younger sister had married.
Upon returning, he rushed to Old Mrs. Su's courtyard without stopping.
After running through the three locations, he finally felt a little relieved.
He refused to believe that Si He could handle so many people coming at once!
Just then.
The sky suddenly darkened.
It was even darker than usual before a storm.
The members of the Su family all looked up at the sky, a chill running down their spines.
"What's going on? Why did it suddenly get dark?"
"I don't know. I only felt this cold, damp feeling last night."
Last night, Ox-Head and Horse-Face led a group of ghost messengers to the Su family, along with five hundred wronged souls. How could they not feel cold?
Even though the servants couldn't see it with their own eyes, their mortal intuition told them that there was a sinister atmosphere around them.
This time, the eeriness is even greater than last night!
