Chapter 71 Two soldiers knelt respectfully before Si He
Upon seeing this scene, the servants immediately became agitated and began to discuss it.
"Didn't Madam Yao just serve tea to you yesterday? You're already in charge of the household, how dare she be so arrogant?"
"I heard that the two soldiers next to Madam Yao were sent by the general to support her."
"This shows that Lady Yao's position in the general's heart is incomparable to that of the lady. We should be careful about which side we choose."
"Yes, let's see how things go first."
Since Sihe gained power, the servants have been trying to curry favor with her, hoping to get jobs for her.
However, Sihe refused to be served by anyone and also refused any servants to work in her courtyard.
She does everything herself, which makes many people who can't curry favor with her secretly curse her for not knowing how to enjoy life.
Lady Yao is different; she can gain a lot of benefits by currying favor with her even slightly.
If she could regain her power, that would be wonderful.
Discussion room.
Sihe led Qingbao out; the mother and daughter, one dignified and the other adorable, stood properly at the door.
As always, it's pleasing to the eye.
A flicker of jealousy flashed in Si Yao's eyes.
A woman who grew up in the village and was used to doing rough and tiring work had skin and appearance that were not rough at all.
God is so unfair.
"How dare you! This is my courtyard. What are you doing here with your men?" Si He spoke first, her brows furrowed slightly.
"Hehe, you should ask your good daughter. If she didn't want to give that pen to Mengmeng, she should have just said so. Why did she give it to Mengmeng and then steal it away?"
Thinking of yesterday's humiliation, Si Yao was furious.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I slept all night." Qingbao pouted angrily.
Where would you steal it?
It was clearly Bibi who came back to find her on her own.
"The old lady and Su Mengmeng have already searched my courtyard. You wouldn't be trying to use this opportunity to intimidate me, would you?"
Sihe recounted what had happened earlier.
Many servants knew about this, and the old woman who searched the room revealed that the lady was too frugal and there was nothing in the room.
The box where the money was kept contained only meager pieces of silver and a tael of silver.
Even so, he was still repeatedly suspected of stealing.
Some servants felt indignant on her behalf, but dared not speak out.
"What does her search have to do with me? I'll call someone to search again if I want." Si Yao raised her eyebrows.
He looked at her with a smile.
Si He was slightly taken aback.
Three years ago, when she brought people to her room and ransacked her embroidery, she had the same look in her eyes.
Will the same thing happen a second time?
Si Yao was accompanied by a man.
She's incredibly arrogant!
Si He clenched her fists and stood firmly in front of the door. "I don't need to explain to you. First of all, you have no evidence. Secondly, you have no right to search my yard."
No concubine has ever dared to bully the principal wife.
This time, Si He will definitely not swallow this insult.
Qingbao looked up at her mother with bright eyes, feeling that her mother seemed to have grown a lot.
She said with a smile, "Yes, what right do you have to search my mother's yard?"
"Hmph, why should I? It's because Brother Xiao allowed it." Si Yao pulled out a whip from somewhere.
Although not as good as her previous weapons, she was still quite skilled in martial arts, and could beat people until their skin was torn and bleeding no matter what kind of whip she used.
"Whether you search or not is not up to you. Guards, seize them. I want to question them thoroughly about where they hid Mengmeng's things."
Si Yao smiled broadly, but her eyes held a hint of malice.
"Go ahead, are you all idiots?" Su Mengxue shouted from behind.
The two old women were beaten by Si He and didn't dare to move.
Si Yao found it strange and turned to look at the two soldiers. "I gave you orders, why aren't you moving?"
Without the presence of two soldiers, who would dare to arrest them here?
The two brothers had dark faces as everything seemed to be renewed.
They had no choice but to step forward.
Si Yao smiled with satisfaction, "Si He, now that you've told Qing Bao to hand over the things obediently, what else can I... what can you two do?!"
The next moment.
The two brothers, Liu Wanxiang and Liu Gengxin, knelt heavily before Si He.
"Greetings, General's wife."
"Greetings, General's wife."
The two spoke in unison, their attitude extremely respectful.
She silenced all the servants present, who watched Si Yao as if she were watching a show.
It seems that it will be difficult for Lady Yao to regain her power.
Si Yao was so angry that her face turned red. "What are you doing? Who told you to kneel before her!"
She is the general's wife, so why can't I be?
These two soldiers truly deserve court-martial!
"Get up, my mother doesn't need you to kneel," Qingbao said cutely.
The two brothers felt a warm glow in their hearts upon hearing this.
They stood up and faced Si Yao.
Liu Wanxiang said, "General Si, this is your wife, your only legal wife. We will not disrespect your family!"
"Yes, especially Qingbao. She saved us and is our benefactor. Even if you beat me to death today, I will never help you bully my benefactor."
Liu Gengxin was straightforward; he frowned and blurted out what had happened. He spoke too quickly and hadn't stopped himself yet:
"Besides, this isn't a military camp. You're neither a general nor a battalion commander, so you have no right to punish us. If you're going to resort to violence, the two of us brothers might not be able to beat you!"
They had witnessed Si Yao's strength over the years while serving in the military camp.
Because of her relationship with the general, many soldiers would hide their strength when they competed with her, not daring to hurt her.
She thought it was because of her superior martial arts skills and was very proud of herself in the army.
With everything renewed, the two were a level higher than ordinary soldiers, and if they were to fight, Si Yao would definitely suffer.
"Sister Yao, didn't you say they were your subordinates? How dare they talk to you like that?" Su Mengxue panicked.
She kept pulling on Si Yao's arm, somewhat afraid that this brute would actually start a fight.
Si Yao was mortified; she was so angry she felt like her lungs were about to explode, and she let out a scream:
"Ah! How dare you speak to me like that? Believe me or not, I'll call Brother Xiao and have you dealt with according to military law!"
"Then tell him to treat us with military law. I don't believe that he would dare to spread such a thing as sending his own soldiers to bully his own wife."
Liu Gengxin didn't tolerate it at all and directly retorted.
The general simply wouldn't dare!
That's why Si Yao was asked to do this kind of thing.
The two brothers were also very dissatisfied with following such a general.
After this incident, they would not join the army again, lest they end up with someone like General Su.
"You!" Si Yao clutched her chest tightly, swallowing the bloody taste in her throat.
So many people were watching.
Two lowly soldiers dared to be so disrespectful to her!
Then she'll probably never be able to turn her life around in the general's mansion.
Seeing that the situation was about right, Si He spoke to the servants.
"Get them out of here."
The servant hesitated for a moment, then did as instructed.
Si Yao cursed, "You dare!"
As it turned out, they really dared to do it, and after this incident, Sihe's position as the legal wife was once again solidified in everyone's hearts.
After all, the general's men all treated his wife with utmost respect.
How could the servants in the household dare to disobey?
"Too slow, Madam, I'll go help them." Liu Gengxin hesitated, annoyed that the servants were moving Si Yao too slowly.
So he stepped forward, approached Si Yao, and made his move.
