Chapter 51 Si Yao, having lost her maternal home, still had to return to the Su family to offer tea.
"If you can't do it, I'll kill myself to show you, and see if your son or your adopted daughter is more important."
Si Zhao pressed the dagger an inch against his neck, his eyes filled with a determination to die.
The cold light embedded itself in the skin, and droplets of blood stained the icy blade.
Madam Si was terrified, completely disoriented, and cried out in despair:
"No, no, Mother promises you, Mother promises you! Put the dagger down, put it down!"
Si Zhao calmed down a bit and was about to slowly put down the dagger.
Qingbao sat on the steps, innocently reminding her, "She doesn't love you, she's just out of options."
Upon hearing this, Si Zhao put the dagger back to his neck.
Madam Si glared angrily at Qingbao.
That damned jinx! It's all because of her that the Si family fell apart.
"Mother!" Si Yao panicked.
She never imagined that her third brother would be so heartless as to kick her out of the Si family.
This is the home she has lived in for twenty years.
"Don't worry, Yao'er, don't worry," Madam Si said in a low voice, helping Si Yao up and comforting her with tears in her eyes.
“Even if you leave the Si family, there is still the Su family. You and Su Xiao are so loving. When the time comes, I will have Su Xiao make you his legal wife. You will have someone to rely on for the rest of your life.”
No matter what, the mother and daughter can still see each other, which is better than having their legs broken, isn't it?
"But, Mother, I don't want to..." Si Yao pleaded.
Even a tenth of Madam Si's dowry could buy the General's mansion.
If she were in the Si family, and her share was equal with her three brothers, it would be far more than that.
With money, she gained confidence and was able to take charge of the inner quarters, just like her grandmother.
Even though she was a concubine, she could still make the principal wife obedient.
Their later years can be described as one of wealth and luxury.
Now, this old woman doesn't have many years left, and the wealth and luxury that was almost within her grasp are about to slip away.
How could she agree?
"I have no choice, Yao'er. I know you won't make things difficult for me, right?" Madam Si asked.
Si Yao was immediately speechless.
She cultivated a carefree and easygoing persona from a young age so that her parents would know that she never cared about such things.
If she didn't agree now, her mother might hate her after her third brother died.
If she agrees, then her grandmother's dowry...
No matter which you choose, you'll lose out.
“Madam, the family genealogy has been brought out. Please cross out Miss Siyao’s name yourself.” Granny Gui was the most clever of them all.
She noticed Si Zhao even before he entered the mourning hall.
The third young master said to her, "I would like to trouble Granny Gui to go and ask for the family genealogy. I will do my best to cleanse the Si family of its corruption."
Now, the family tree is seamlessly connected.
There was no room for Si Yao to think.
"Go ahead and draw," Granny Gui said, thoughtfully handing her a pen.
"Mother, no, no..." Si Yao's mind went blank; she didn't want to be kicked out of the Si family like this.
"Yao'er, don't worry. You've only been removed from the family register. You're still your mother's only good daughter. I'll go to the Su family and try to make you the matriarch. Don't worry..."
Madam Si had already planned out a way out for Si Yao, and with a look of reluctance in her eyes, she drew a line down.
The name that had been placed on Si He instantly turned into a blob of black ink and vanished from the Si family.
Si Yao has been completely expelled from the Si family.
Si Zhao had her room, courtyard, and everything inside cleared out and sent to the Su family.
When he brought Su Mengmeng back to the Su family.
Si Yao was still in a daze, unable to believe that she had lost her family.
"Si Yao, I'm talking to you, what's wrong with you!" This was the first time today that Old Madam Su had gotten up from her sickbed.
They're keeping people busy with something.
I've been giving Si Yao a lot of instructions, but she probably hasn't listened at all.
"Mother-in-law, what did you say?" Si Yao asked, snapping out of her daze.
Madam Su sighed, concealing the impatience in her eyes, "When you go to pay your respects to Si He later, you must kneel on both knees, not perform your so-called general's salute."
At this moment, Si Yao remembered that she was supposed to serve tea to Si He today.
The two of them had just returned from the Si family, and now she was going to suffer such injustice again?
Si Yao couldn't help but shout, "My mother said you should make me your legal wife, why should I serve her tea?"
She already had no family to rely on, and now she's even inferior to Si He. Who knows how stifling her future will be?
She couldn't stand this frustration.
When she lost her temper, Su Mengmeng, who was standing next to her, was so frightened that she burst into tears.
She was still holding the judge's pen in her hand, looking at Si Yao with a strange expression.
I can't understand why my mother is so angry now, when she clearly agreed to everything yesterday.
"What do you mean, 'your mother'? That's the Si family, not your family anymore. I don't know what unlucky guy you've messed with lately. You were just removed from your generalship a few days ago, and today you've been kicked out of the Si family's house."
Old Madam Su was somewhat materialistic. Seeing her temper and wildness, she immediately frowned and continued:
“You have no future now, do you want Mengmeng to have no future either? This pen has great supernatural powers, don’t you want your daughter to have supernatural powers and magic?”
"Who says I have no future? The Emperor's anger was just a passing fancy. Once Brother Xiao wakes up, he'll put in a good word for me, and I'll go back to the battlefield to atone for my sins. I'm sure I can become a general again."
Si Yao was full of resentment. She had been suppressed too much these days, and she was desperately trying to prove herself.
"That's for the future." Old Madam Su knew that she had some abilities.
However, after spending the past few days together, she felt that Si Yao's temper outweighed her abilities.
It wasn't like this when she first married into the family.
"Now, you have to help Mengmeng find out how to use the pen's supernatural powers. Once Mengmeng becomes powerful, are you still worried that you can't surpass her?"
Madam Su had personally witnessed the power of this pen, and thus she was somewhat enamored with it.
Unfortunately, the pen did not recognize her as its owner.
However, it's better to let Mengmeng be in charge than to let Qingbao be in charge.
At least Mengmeng is on her side.
Having said that, Si Yao finally regained some of her composure.
She gritted her teeth and said, "I will offer this tea."
The three masters, accompanied by several servants, marched in a grand manner toward Si He's courtyard.
Outside Sihe's courtyard.
They had already taken care of all the servants in the mansion.
Chairs were placed outside the door, and there was a tea table next to them.
The servants were talking about it.
"I heard that Madam Yao is coming to serve tea to you today. I thought it was just a rumor."
"It's definitely not a rumor. They even set out the chairs and let so many of us see them."
"Yes, yes, how come Madam Yao's status suddenly dropped?"
The servants who had previously supported Si Yao looked puzzled.
"Ever since that imperial decree was issued, Lady Yao has been in critical condition." Someone sighed, full of disappointment at Si Yao's actions.
When Si Yao arrived, she happened to witness this scene.
These words stung her, filling her with rage, and she longed to teach these ignorant servants a lesson.
The chair in front of her was too much for her to bear. She leaped forward and drew her whip.
Snap—
With a loud crash, the chair in front of the door was smashed to pieces!
"Sihe, was it you who invited them to watch me embarrass myself!"
