Lianxiang glanced at the white porcelain bottle that Si Jinyun placed on the dressing table and whispered:
"Just now the maid outside came to report that the Second Young Lady hasn't gone there yet."
Upon hearing this, Si Jinyun's face darkened and he dropped the crescent-shaped gold-wrapped wooden comb in his hand onto the table with a bang.
Why hasn't she gone yet?
Si Jinyun picked up the comb again, smiled at the mirror, and instructed:
"Go to Heyunyuan."
Lianxiang lowered her head, but happened to see the smile of the third lady. She nodded in agreement and walked out of the room.
For some reason, she always felt that the current Third Young Lady was eerie...
She walked quickly out of Biluo Garden and headed towards Heyun Courtyard.
Si Jinxing was talking to Si Jinheng and Si Jinyi when Wen came out of the room holding a bundle and said:
“Second Miss, I don’t have any other skills.
Today, when I learned that you were going north, I hurriedly made some of your favorite peach blossom cheese for you to take with you on the road.
But these peach blossoms were dried in the spring, so they don’t taste very sweet.”
Si Jinxing opened the bundle, and inside were five or six packages of snacks tightly wrapped in oil paper, with a light peach blossom scent.
She smiled and said:
"It's okay, Auntie is so thoughtful. With these snacks, I won't be hungry on the road!"
As she spoke, she glanced at Qingchan and said:
"I don't know when I can return, so I won't be able to take care of you.
Here are five hundred taels of silver, Auntie, take this and give it to Fourth Sister and Brother Heng."
Qing Chan took two steps forward and placed five 100-liang silver notes on the stone table, saying:
"Please keep it."
Seeing this, Wen Shi hurriedly refused and said:
"No, no, the monthly allowance for the three of us is enough, so there's no place to spend money!
When you go out, you should bring more money with you!"
Although she was Si Junshan's concubine, she still had a small shop as a dowry. Although the profit was less, she was not short of money.
But the second young lady gave her five hundred taels of silver, which really shocked her.
She secretly wiped away her tears. Now the second young lady has finally made it!
Si Jinyi folded up the banknotes, stuffed them back into Si Jinxing's sleeves, and whispered:
"Second sister, now that there's no mistress in the mansion, no one dares to withhold money from the three of us, mother and daughter. You can rest assured!"
Si Jinxing listened to what the two of them said, and her eyes became hot. Then she heard Si Jinheng say:
"Second sister, when the time comes, you can exchange some silver for money. Not only can you spend it, but you can also use it to hit people when you encounter danger!
I just hope that when you come back, you can take me to eat Yaxu Lao hotpot again!"
Upon hearing this, Wen Shi hurriedly made three "Pooh" sounds, glared at him, and said:
"Your second sister is leaving tomorrow, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Si Jinxing disagreed. She stroked Si Jinheng's forehead and said:
"Okay, okay, I'll definitely take you there to eat again when I get back! Aunt Wen will also come with us!"
Si Jinxing came out of Cuihe Garden and walked towards Heyun Courtyard.
She wanted to see what kind of evil this old lady was going to do next.
However, before she could get there, she saw the old lady, supported by Mother Lu, striding towards them.
Si Jinxing thought to herself, this is really a narrow encounter!
Before she could speak, the old lady opposite her started talking:
"What's happening outside the palace? Why don't you go and take a look?
How could you still have the energy to wander around the mansion? How could our Si family give birth to a scourge like you! "
Upon hearing this, Si Jinxing chuckled and said:
"When something happens in the mansion, when is it a daughter's turn to step forward?
My father is still alive, and you are still alive. When you die, it won’t be too late for me to take charge of things!”
When the old lady heard this, she was so angry that her face turned pale. She stretched out her arm and pointed at her, trembling, and said:
"How dare you! You are such a rebellious and unfilial daughter who speaks so arrogantly!"
Si Jinxing spread his hands indifferently and said:
"Alright, if you want to go outside the mansion, let's go together. I want to see what drama you are up to."
Seeing this, the old lady said nothing more!
Her purpose was to publicly admit the rumors of those disaster-stricken people outside and expel her from the general's mansion!
In recent days, the general's relationship with her mother and daughter has been very delicate, but he has been very close to this rebellious daughter!
I think, just as the third girl said, the second girl must be instigating the relationship between the general and her behind the scenes!
As long as the third girl leaves the house and moves back to the villa outside Beijing, her son will see her less often, and the relationship between her and her mother will be eased!
The group walked out of the house. Si Jinxing glanced at the old lady and said with a smile:
"How are your waist and legs these days, old lady?"
When the old lady heard this, she felt her waist pain become even worse. It also reminded her that when the second girl first returned to Beijing, she always gave her some plasters, which were very effective.
But now, she just snorted coldly and ignored him.
Mother Lu walked beside the old lady and whispered, "Second Miss, do you still have those plasters?"
As soon as these words came out, the old lady immediately said angrily: "I use other doctors' medicine, it is also excellent, no need to say more!"
Mother Lu was frustrated and kept silent, but she secretly complained in her heart:
I don’t know who it was, but someone sent someone to the Second Young Lady’s Jirentang to buy that ointment a while ago!
As a result, the plaster was not only extremely expensive, but also not sold freely. The patient had to go there in person to get it.
In the end, the old lady was unable to buy the plaster anymore. The doctors around her either prescribed herbal remedies or the plaster was ineffective!
She could only endure the back pain every day.
Mother Lu thought to herself, I don’t know why she has to make such a fuss with the second young lady?
The general doesn’t get along with her, so what does that have to do with the second young lady?
After a while, they arrived at the front yard. Across a road and a wall, they heard a huge commotion outside the house, including cursing and complaints.
Si Junshan was standing outside the door, explaining loudly:
"My daughter is not a disaster at all, and she is not an unlucky person to her parents!
The disaster in Huaibei has nothing to do with my daughter. Please stop spreading rumors and causing trouble!"
When he led his troops into battle, he could kill three enemy soldiers with one stick without blinking!
But at this moment, he was facing a group of unarmed civilians, and it seemed that he had no other choice but to explain with his mouth!
Si Jinxing looked at him defending himself. He finally began to believe in himself, but so what?
When the people outside the door saw her finally show up, they seemed to be instantly ignited!
They shouted loudly:
"Disaster star, get out of Jianzhou!"
"Go back to the suburbs of Beijing!"
"Give me back the peace of Jianzhou!"
Si Jinxing stood still on the steps of the mansion gate. She frowned and looked, and saw the crowd pushing and shoving, rushing towards her uncontrollably!
She raised her voice and said:
"You acted so impulsively, were you bewitched by someone?"
Her voice was loud and clear, but those people seemed not to hear it!
In a flash, a cold light flashed, as fast as thunder!
Si Jinxing's eyes turned cold. It was a knife!
