Chapter 100 Si Yao goes to the underworld shouting that she wants to sue Qing Bao
"Whatever you want, as long as you're happy."
Qingbao waved her hand impatiently, then frankly stated her principles:
"But let me tell you, don't try to get anything from me. I won't give you anything."
"Alright, alright, alright. I don't want anything, I don't want anything at all. As long as you're willing to eat my pie, anything is negotiable."
The emperor rubbed his hands together excitedly, smiling like a child who had just received candy.
Qingbao frowned. "Can we leave now?"
It was already dark.
The people from the underworld will soon be going to the human world to take their shifts.
She still has a lot to do.
"Yes, yes, yes, someone, send the young princess back in the palace carriages," the Emperor ordered loudly.
Hehe, the two imperial edicts we received today can be put to use again.

At the palace gate.
Beside the Su family's carriage, Su Xiao held a severed head in one arm and Su Mengmeng in the other, impatiently lecturing her.
"If you dare to act recklessly in the palace again, don't blame me for not bringing you here again."
Su Mengmeng sniffed, "I...I don't have a mother anymore."
She never imagined that just by accompanying her parents to the investiture ceremony, her mother would pass away.
Isn't it normal for a child to cry after losing their mother?
Why does Father blame her?
Why not blame Qingbao, the one who killed her mother?
Su Xiao was also sad, heartbroken, and depressed.
But when he saw Si He coming out from afar, he couldn't help but go to greet him and hand the severed head in his arms to Su Mengmeng.
"Your mother is here."
When Su Mengmeng saw the bloody human head, she burst into tears.
"Sihe, Qingbao, let's go back." He reached out his hand, wanting to lead Sihe into the carriage.
Looking at his bloodied hands, Si He frowned in disgust. "No need."
His hands were covered in Si Yao's blood.
"Are you disgusted with me?" Su Xiao asked, looking displeased. "Do you know that when I went to the battlefield, I had more blood on my body than this, and Si Yao never complained."
On one occasion, the two of them fought together, both covered in blood, and after winning, they hugged each other tightly.
No one would mind if a general had blood on him.
Because these are all honors!
"Yes, your hands have Si Yao's blood on them," Si He replied coldly. "That's why I dislike it."
Su Xiao withdrew his hand, his brows furrowing slightly. "She's already dead. No one's going to take me from you anymore. From now on, the four of us can live a peaceful life. I won't take any more concubines."
The family of four, of course, included Su Mengmeng.
Since Su Mengmeng has no mother now, she will naturally be raised by Si He.
Qingbao was stunned, tilting her head, "You want my mother to raise her?"
Su Mengmeng almost killed her back then.
If she hadn't returned from the underworld...
“That’s only right. She has no mother anymore, so from now on your mother will be her mother.” Su Xiao felt this was a matter of course.
Qingbao pointed at the head, "Who said she doesn't have a mother? Isn't her mother in her arms?"
"Qingbao, how can you talk like that! She's upset right now." Su Xiao's voice became stern.
Qingbao: "You gave it to her."
Su Xiao: ...
Is Qingbao really someone handpicked by her ancestors? How can she speak so rudely?
That mouth of hers is just not pleasing.
"Sihe, you should do something about her." After all, Qingbao was handpicked by the Su family's ancestors, so he dared not say anything more.
Sihe, however, could.
Si He replied, "She's right, why should we interfere?"
They didn't buy it at all.
Su Xiao laughed angrily, "Fine, you don't care about her, you're going to disobey me for her sake, then you can walk back yourselves. This carriage is for Mengmeng!"
After saying that, he turned and left, ordering someone to help Su Mengmeng into the carriage.
Su Mengmeng originally came on horseback with Si Yao, but now she is riding in Si He and Qingbao's carriage.
Before she lifted the curtain and sat down, she glanced at Qingbao and gave a cold smile.
It's as if they're showing off.
She has her father to pamper her, but you, Qingbao, have nothing!
Just then.
The eunuch rushed over and respectfully said to Si He,
"Madam Sihe, the carriage His Majesty ordered to take you back is ready and is right at the gate. Please follow me."
Su Xiao paused slightly, turned to look at the carriage, and looked somewhat incredulous.
"What did you say? His Majesty ordered you to send them back?"
The eunuch gave him a disdainful look. "How could you make a mistake like this? Then I might as well not do my job."
In a flash, she helped Sihe and Qingbao up.
"Madam Sihe, young princess, please slow down."
"County Princess? Where did this County Princess come from?" Su Xiao and everyone present looked surprised.
Even Su Mengmeng, who had entered the carriage, lifted the curtain and looked incredulous.
"Oh dear, His Majesty just said that Qingbao has been rewarded for helping five hundred wronged souls seek justice, and has been granted the title of County Princess. Since she's your daughter, you should be secretly delighted, General Su..."
The eunuch's words were like poison, piercing straight to Su Xiao's lungs.
Su Xiao has reverted to a minor eighth-rank official.
A county magistrate was now on equal footing with him.
"Qingbao, you're using your father's military achievements to curry favor!!!" Su Xiao was furious.
Qingbao ignored him and said, "Drive away."
"Giddy up—" The royal carriages were all drawn by imperial horses and ran very fast.
In the blink of an eye, he left Su Xiao with only his back turned and a pile of dust.
Su Xiao clenched his fists in anger, veins bulging, and took deep breaths repeatedly!
Su Mengmeng slammed the curtain down, filled with jealousy and resentment.
To step on her father's military achievements and her mother's life to claim credit, Qingbao is utterly depraved.
*
It got dark.
Qingbao has just finished washing up.
Then the people from the underworld came up.
Ox-Head and Horse-Face brought many ghost messengers, who lined up neatly in front of the general's mansion courtyard gate.
"Sister Qing, the King of Hell has ordered us to come up and collect people."
I heard it's a big achievement.
The ghost messengers were all vying to come.
Qingbao took out the judge's pen and waved her little hand.
The souls of Wang Sheng and five hundred others instantly covered the general's mansion.
The dark aura around them had diminished considerably.
“I let them go back to see their families during the day. Now their resentment has lessened a lot. The ferry can take them away. Please take good care of them on the way and make sure nothing goes wrong.”
Right after Si Yao was beheaded, Qing Bao gave them a chance to transform into human form and go back to see their families.
"I've found Xiaohua a good marriage."
"I also received my daughter's birthday gift."
"I found someone to take care of my parents."
Their resentment has subsided, and they are now preparing to enter the underworld to await reincarnation.
Looking at their spirited appearance, Ox-Head and Horse-Face nodded with emotion, "This is what heroic spirits should look like."
"Go quickly, don't be late." Qingbao waved her hand with a smile.
Ox-Head, Horse-Face, and the ghost messengers all said "Yes."
After they took all the souls away.
Horse-faced approached with a gossipy look on his face, "Sister Qing, when are you going back to the Underworld?"
"What? You missed me?" Qingbao tilted her head, looking smug.
"No, no, a ghost came down from the underworld tonight, carrying a lot of resentment. She kept shouting at the gates of hell, demanding to see the judge."
Qingbao frowned and asked, "What's wrong with her?"
"She said she was going to sue a mortal named Qingbao to death."
