Chapter 76 Si Yao and Si Han Fight Like Dogs
"Don't cut off my head yet, I can explain to you."
Xia Changle silently shrank his head, feeling as if his head had fallen to the ground and he couldn't pick it up.
Fine, she'd go all out for her savior.
Her father, the emperor, dared not behead her.
"I don't have time to play your pranks." The Emperor said with displeasure, waving his hand to tell her to leave.
The imperial edict has been issued; there's no reason not to accept it.
Even without an announcement, it's already a fact.
"She doesn't want the honor of being a Lady of the Imperial Family; she just wants you to issue an imperial decree for her to divorce General Su!"
Xia Changle said, forcing himself to speak.
She regretted it as soon as she said it.
Oh dear, this will make Father Emperor think there's something wrong with Sihe. If I had known, I would have said that she had taken a liking to Su Xiao and made Su Xiao divorce her!
This lousy brain of mine can never keep up with my mouth!
"Divorce?" A hint of inquiry flashed in the Emperor's eyes. "Su Xiao has made great military achievements and has already woken up. He will soon be granted a higher official position."
At this critical juncture, his wife actually wants a divorce?
Why is that?
Seeing that she had piqued her father's curiosity, Xia Changle recounted Si He's situation in detail.
The Emperor listened with great interest, and after pondering for a long time, he said, "Alright, you can go back now."
Once you've finished eating your melon, don't bother him anymore.
He has other things to do.
"Father, don't you think she's pitiful?" Xia Chang Le asked, her face full of grievance.
The Emperor said, "That's a matter between the couple. Su Xiao is a meritorious official who won battles and saved countless families. How can I break up his family? That's not right."
Besides, he has a lot of things to do right now, and he's overwhelmed.
The report stated that an outstanding battalion commander, Wang Sheng, led 500 men to intercept the enemy, and none of them survived.
He was troubled about how to posthumously honor the five hundred men.
"Father..."
"This matter must not be mentioned again, or I will take your head..."
Xia Changle indeed stopped mentioning it.
He hunched his shoulders and left the imperial study.
Since it wouldn't work with her father, she would try going to her mother.

After Si He had the gifts locked up, he took Qing Bao back to the Si family to see his grandmother.
"You're staying here tonight?" Old Madam Si asked with delight, rubbing Qingbao's head with one hand and grabbing Si He's wrist with the other.
Si He nodded. "Yes."
She didn't want to go back because an old man was still guarding her courtyard.
*
In Su Jiasihe's courtyard.
"Madam, you've been kneeling all day, and it's getting dark..." Butler Su couldn't help but speak up to persuade her.
For some reason, he couldn't see a single servant when he left the courtyard.
Old Madam Su slapped herself awake, continued kneeling, and gritted her teeth, saying...
"I refuse to believe that Sihe can stay indoors for a whole day!"
Keep kneeling!

Early the next morning.
The Si family.
Because of the clues about the princess, Si Han led his men to search the bottom of the cliff for a day and a night.
Finally, they encountered a group of reckless bandits and were almost robbed by them.
He returned home, covered in wounds and exhausted.
As soon as I lay down, someone grabbed me by the collar and lifted me up.
"Brother, how could you do this? Do you know how hard I've waited for you, and you're giving the credit to someone else?"
Si Han opened his tired eyes and met a face contorted with rage.
Startled, he reached out and pushed Si Yao to the ground.
"What are you doing here? Who let you in!"
Wasn't she already kicked out of the Si family? How could she enter his room?
Exhaustion made his head throb with pain, and he really wanted to rest.
"How did I get in? Brother, you've really changed your tone towards me."
Si Yao was extremely disappointed and sat on the ground looking at Si Han.
The pain from yesterday's blows was still there, and she cried tears of grievance.
She could barely walk and had to hold onto the wall to get there. Her older brother spoke coldly and even pushed her, clearly siding with Si He.
And what about her?
What does her relationship with her brothers, spanning over twenty years, count for?
Si Han sighed, his eyes bloodshot. "I don't have time to mess around with you right now. You can leave now."
"I've only just arrived, and you're already trying to send me away? If Si He came, would you send her away too?"
Si Yao asked through tears, desperately wanting an answer.
"You all don't want me anymore, I only have you and Mother left, and now even you don't want me! I might as well be dead!"
After saying that, Si Yao rammed into his bedpost.
Si Han, already exhausted and in a daze, subconsciously tried to stop him.
As a result, Si Yao bumped into his chest, and he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest.
He spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
"Big brother...big brother, please, please don't scare me..."
She quickly ran out, avoiding people, and went to Madam Si's room.
Madam Si hurriedly brought her over, and upon seeing Si Han's appearance, she couldn't help but ask,
What did you do to your older brother?
She secretly brought Yao'er in when she was a child, how did it lead to this result?
“Mother, I just asked my elder brother why he gave the credit for saving the princess to Sihe. Not only did he not answer me, but he was also very impatient with me and even tried to kick me out.”
"I didn't want to live anymore, so I went to bang my head against a pillar, but I accidentally hit him and knocked him unconscious."
“He didn’t love me first, Mother. Even my eldest brother is on Sihe’s side. Yao’er has no family left.”
Si Yao cried uncontrollably, tears streaming down her face, filled with despair.
"What merit?" Madam Si was taken aback. "Your eldest brother went to the foot of the cliff to look for the Fifth Princess, but he didn't find her and almost lost his life. What merit did he have?"
"What?" Si Yao even forgot to cry, looking completely bewildered.
Madam Si's face darkened. "Did Si He tell you this?"
Si Yao bit her lip, "Yes, the princess came to visit in person..."
"Silly Yao'er, you've been sown apart by her. Your elder brother was already on the verge of death, but now, because of your actions, he's lost his entire life!"
Mrs. Si slapped her thigh in regret!
Why didn't Si Yao tell her about this?
"What are you all standing there for? Quickly, get a doctor for Han'er!!!"
Si Yao clenched her fists, her eyes blazing with fury.
"Si He! You dare to play me!!!"

Si He was having breakfast at Madam Si's place when she sneezed.
Madam Si smiled and handed her a handkerchief, "Did you catch a cold last night?"
Taking the handkerchief, Si He smiled slightly. "It's nothing."
"With Qingbao here, Mother won't catch a cold. Someone must have been scolding Mother."
Qingbao stuffed her mouth full of breakfast and said with her chubby cheeks full.
It's easy to guess whose it is; it's either Si Yao or Old Madam Su.
At this moment.
Granny Gui came in and said to the old lady, "Old lady, the doctor has come to the mansion. He said that the eldest young master was injured in a collision."
"What? Who did it?" asked Madam Si.
Granny Gui hesitated for a moment, "Madam secretly brought Si Yao in."
Madam Si's face darkened. "What bad luck! I'm going to throw her out today!"
The group got up and went to Si Han's side.
*
The Su family.
"Madam, it's dawn!"
