Chapter 36 Qingbao's Step-by-Step Revelation of Siyao's Crimes
"What is it?" Su Mengmeng asked innocently.
A hint of murderous intent flashed across Madam Su's eyes. "Master Wufeng once said at your full moon celebration that one of you and Qingbao is a jinx."
"A malevolent star, inherently wicked. If no one guides him to goodness, he will kill without blinking an eye and bring ruin to the General's Mansion."
"Mengmeng, you are so gentle and kind, you are definitely not that evil star."
"For the past three years, Grandmother has had only one wish: you must get rid of that jinx in the General's Mansion!"
Su Mengmeng knew about this.
The General's Mansion only has two children, her and Qingbao, so she herself is definitely not a jinx.
Even if her grandmother didn't say anything, she would still take on this important task and personally eliminate the jinx that brought death to the General's Mansion.
hehe.
She gripped the judge's pen with immense pride.
Qingbao, you stupid and useless thing, you can't even handle such a treasure, and you still make demands by telling her how to use magic.
Sihe and her daughter are truly country folk; they don't care about anything when it comes to money.
Even at such a young age, Qingbao is capable of digging her own grave for money!
*
Qingbao happily ran over to find her mother.
Sihe is making beautiful clothes for Qingbao using new fabric.
When she saw Qingbao arrive, she put down her embroidery needle, stood up, and hugged the baby in her arms.
"My baby has woken up."
Her tone was incredibly gentle, and Si He was bathed in sunlight.
Qingbao nodded her little head, remembering that she had secretly come back last night and hadn't come to see her mother yet.
"Mother, there are so many new pieces of cloth!"
These fabrics are brightly colored and beautiful; they are clearly not something that ordinary people can afford.
Si He nodded, "After your second uncle reprimanded the steward the day we returned, Mother had them send over everything the master needed."
Moreover, she is different now.
If she had had someone backing her back then, she wouldn't have always suffered injustice.
In such a class-divided place, no matter how resilient a woman is, she cannot escape being bullied.
She was powerless, not afraid to resist.
"By the way, didn't you go back to the Si family with your second uncle? How is the situation?" Si He didn't expect Qingbao to be able to save her third brother.
I just want to know if Madam Si is alright.
Qingbao nodded, opened her arms, and said exaggeratedly, "There are dead people everywhere."
That night, everyone who was supposed to collapse collapsed.
Those damn things are pretty much done for.
Si He was shocked. "What? Who died? Third Brother?"
"Mother, don't worry, it wasn't our third uncle who died, but our second uncle who was good to us!" Qingbao said sincerely.
Si He nearly fainted, her vision blurring. "How did Second Brother die?"
Wasn't it said that Third Brother was in grave danger? What exactly happened?
Qingbao thought for a moment, "The King of Hell took him away, but I don't know when he'll come back."
Si He almost fainted.
"Mother, Mother is alright. I've already earned back the five hundred taels he owed you, so you don't need to worry about the money."
Qingbao quickly shook her mother awake.
Si He was in a state of confusion, on the verge of tears, "Who's worried about those five hundred taels?"
The second brother was the only one among the three older brothers who liked Qingbao.
It's such a pity that he's dead.
"It's not just about worrying about the five hundred taels. Qingbao is telling you something: your second brother suddenly died, and your third brother is dying too. Qingbao couldn't save him..."
"Your grandmother fainted from excessive fear. She has ten years of lifespan left, so she shouldn't die."
"As for your mother..." Qingbao paused, then said with a smile, "Your mother flew away."
"Alright, Bao'er, stop talking. It sounds like I'm having a really tough time." Si He covered her mouth, regretting that she hadn't seen such a dramatic scene.
Si He immediately asked, "What's this about earning back the five hundred taels you mentioned earlier?"
Qingbao: !!!
He quickly covered the Qiankun bag in his arms.
And you said you weren't worried about the five hundred taels.
I never expected you to be this kind of mother.
She had a sudden inspiration and said softly to her mother, "Su Mengmeng snatched my pen. She didn't know how to use it. Qingbao told her that if she gave Qingbao five hundred taels of silver, her mother would come over and serve tea to her mother. Only then did Qingbao teach her how to use it."
Upon hearing this...
Si He's mind cleared up instantly.
She remembered that Qingbao's pen was a treasure; it had instantly transported her from the cave back home, saving her from a calamity.
Now, how did you give it to Su Mengmeng?
"Qingbao, Mother doesn't want the five hundred taels. Mother will take you to find Su Mengmeng right now and get the pen back!"
Sihe realized the importance of this treasure.
If Su Mengmeng were to use such a supernatural power, the first thing she would do is to deal with Qingbao.
Qingbao is only three years old and doesn't understand anything, but how could her mother not understand?
She immediately picked up Qingbao and went to retrieve the judge's pen.
Her eyes were incredibly determined; even if she had to risk everything and openly steal it, she was determined to get it back!
She refused to believe that she couldn't get her things back!
"Mother, Mother, Mother!" Qingbao quickly grabbed her, but she was in her mother's arms and couldn't hug her mother's legs.
She could only hug her mother's head and cover her eyes with her little hands.
That made Mother afraid to go any further.
The adorable little guy was completely unaware that his five chubby fingers were spread out.
Sihe's eyes darted between her fingers. "Qingbao, let's talk this out. If you keep acting like this, even your mother won't be able to see."
Qingbao patiently explained the Judge's Pen's idea to her mother.
Mother said, "Did that pen tell you that?"
Qingbao shook her head, "It's an unspoken understanding between old friends over the years."
Even if a single hair sticks out of the pen, Qingbao knows what fart it will release or what word it will write.
Not to mention this attempt to extort money.
The collaboration between the two, one person and one pen, was simply seamless.
Sihe sat down and breathed a sigh of relief. "Then Mother will stop making a fuss. Mother will wait patiently for Siyao to serve tea."
"Mother." Qingbao's little face suddenly turned serious, and she said solemnly, "Actually, Qingbao has a reason for doing this."
"Go ahead, Mother is listening," Si He replied gently.
“Father hasn’t woken up yet. Once he does, he will be officially appointed. At that time, you will have to appear as the only general’s wife. Therefore, Qingbao is helping you consolidate your position in advance.”
Qingbao explained in detail.
Si He tilted her head and asked, "Anything else?"
She knew that if her daughter could think of this, there must be a next step, and something big was about to happen.
She must take this seriously.
Qingbao continued, "As the general's wife, you will sit in the position of the principal wife at the investiture ceremony. In this way, your words will carry weight, and the emperor will believe what you say."
The Emperor won't believe what Qingbao says, but he will definitely believe what the General's wife says.
"What do you want your mother to say?" Si He asked with a determined look in her eyes.
Qingbao's face turned cold. "I will list Siyao's crimes to His Majesty and demand justice for the more than five hundred lives lost!!!"
