He snorted coldly and said slowly:
"Your master is in a coma, not dead! Can't you handle even this little thing? Keep investigating!"
The attendant nodded in agreement, then thought of something else and said:
"Master, although I haven't found out the whereabouts of the female doctor, I have discovered something interesting."
The man in fancy clothes glanced at the attendant, grabbed a few peanuts from the plate on the small table and threw them over, saying:
"Stop dithering! Speak!"
The attendant chuckled, reached out to take the peanuts, and continued while peeling them:
"That day, I found the forest by the river where the master was. Five or six miles east, I found a separate courtyard. It was the Si Mansion. Isn't that a coincidence?"
"What's even more coincidental is... the person living there is actually the second daughter of the Si family, and General Lan's niece!
However, when I arrived there today, the Second Young Lady had already been taken back to the capital."
After saying this, he suddenly lifted the curtain and looked out, muttering to himself:
"Eh? Could the one who was just drenched in the rain be the second young lady who just returned to Beijing?
Oh, master, isn’t the second young lady our mistress?
Shouldn't we go and rescue him?"
The man in fancy clothes looked at the drizzle outside the window, and the image of the thin girl standing alone in the rain flashed through his mind.
He snorted coldly and said:
“The Second Young Lady is probably not as useless as you see her.
But the third brother even plotted against a child, he really would do anything to achieve his goal!
Has word gotten out that I've been poisoned and bedridden?"
The attendant nodded and replied, "The news has already been spread today."
"Okay." The man played with the medicine tube in his hand, thought for a moment, and then ordered:
"Then send someone to keep an eye on the second young lady of the Si family. I want to see what kind of wife the old man has found for me."
"yes."
Si Jinxing, who was standing outside the Si Mansion, had no idea that she would be targeted as soon as she showed up in the capital.
At this moment, she was extremely angry!
Yan Fei knocked on the door. The doorman clearly recognized her, but did not invite her in. Instead, he left the door ajar and said he was going to report to the lady.
She would not tolerate these servants who flattered the powerful and knew no etiquette, and shouted coldly:
“Wait!”
The doorman was stunned when he heard this. Before he could react, he saw the second young lady, whom he had not seen for a long time, striding forward and pushing him away!
He stepped over the threshold and entered the house.
Seeing this, the doorman cried out, and hurriedly ran in front of the second young lady and said:
"Second Miss, please wait outside for a moment while I go and report."
Si Jinxing couldn't help but want to laugh. Do I have to report before returning to my own home?
If it were any other master, would this doorman dare to do this?
I just bullied her!
She kept walking and shouted harshly:
"I had no idea that a servant in my house would dare to stop the master at the door!
I have never heard of it, I have never seen it before, it is simply ridiculous!
If you are blind, please find another job!"
The servant was stunned. He had never seen such a domineering Second Young Lady before. He was in a dilemma.
There came the sound of jingling bells and a series of noisy footsteps.
Si Jinxing curved her lips into a smile. It looked like the stepmother who graduated from the "Acting Department" was about to take the stage!
Soon, a deep, rough female voice came:
"My son, let me see, your mother has finally brought you back!"
The drizzle had stopped at some point, and dark clouds covered the moon, turning the sky gloomy.
Si Jinxing looked in the direction of the voice and saw a strong woman walking towards her quickly.
This is the “gentle and kind” stepmother!
She was followed by seven or eight servants, all holding lanterns in their hands. Their steps were slow and orderly, creating a scene of peace and tranquility.
The three of them, master and servant, carrying luggage, looked like beggars breaking into a private house. It was really discordant!
The carriage that Mother Lin and her companions were riding in should have returned to the mansion an hour ago.
The eldest daughter's carriage didn't return, and the mansion didn't even make the slightest move?!
Thinking of this, Si Jinxing closed his eyes.
If one wants to avenge the original owner, the best way to vent his hatred is to let them kill each other and disintegrate the general's mansion bit by bit!
so……
She smiled faintly, knelt slightly towards Zhou who was walking in front of her, and said indifferently:
"Thank you for your concern, mother. It's my fault for keeping you waiting. But..."
She looked around and then asked:
"Why don't you see Mama Zhang?
She left the villa a few days ago, and I was thinking of giving her the things she left there."
Zhou's eyebrows jumped when she heard this, and she looked at the girl in front of her.
After not seeing her for two years, she seemed completely different from the image I had in my mind of someone who was timid and didn't dare to speak loudly.
She gave a look to Mother Liu beside her, and Mother Liu asked:
"I haven't seen you for two years. Are you really my second daughter?"
"Look at what you said, Mother Liu. If I were not the Second Young Lady, would she have died in the villa?" Si Jinxing asked with a smile.
The words were shocking, but they touched the hearts of Zhou's master and servant!
When Si Jinxing saw the two of them, his expression froze and he continued:
“If I remember correctly, when I was eight years old.
It was clearly my third sister who broke my mother's jade bottle, but Mother Liu said that I accidentally touched it.
In the end, my mother was merciful and only punished me by not allowing me to eat dinner.
Mother Liu, do you still remember this?"
The wind is always cold on rainy nights.
Mother Liu looked at the second young lady's sinister smile and listened to the old stories she told. She shuddered for no reason and stopped talking.
She remembers the trivial incident from seven years ago so clearly?
Mother Liu no longer doubted the woman in front of her, but why had her temperament changed so much?
Seeing that the second young lady had no feelings of closeness to her, Zhou, who was standing by, told her the unpleasant past.
Could it be that she was already resentful at that time?
Are all the obedience and compliance in front of her just an act?
This wild girl embarrassed her as soon as she returned home, and Zhou suddenly felt depressed.
I always feel that the second young lady, whom I haven’t seen in the past two years, is like a different person!
He is so sharp-tongued, sharp-tongued, and merciless.
Looking at her at this moment is like falling into an ice cave, making people feel cold all over!
Just as Mother Lin said when she returned home this afternoon, the second young lady might have been possessed by an evil spirit!
She was just thinking about whether to ask a Taoist priest to come over in a couple of days, when she heard Mother Liu say:
"Mother Lu is here."
"The old lady invites the second young lady to Heyun Courtyard." Mother Lu, holding a lantern, stood in front of Si Jinxing, bowed slightly as a gesture of greeting, and said:
"Second Miss, please."
The sky darkened and Si Jinxing could no longer see the scenery of the house.
It took them nearly a cup of tea to finally reach the courtyard where the old lady of the Si family lived.
A senior maid had already lifted the curtain to welcome everyone in, and the smile on her face was very genuine.
This Heyunyuan is more presentable than Zhou's.
Si Jinxing suppressed his thoughts, followed Zhou and walked in.
