When Si Junshan heard this, his face suddenly turned dark.
He kowtowed to the old lady of the Si family, bowed to the three Shen family members, and then said goodbye and left.
Third Madam Han walked to the door, looked at Si Junshan's departing back, snorted coldly, and said:
"Everyone in the Si family is a bunch of idiots!"
The second lady said to the old lady:
"Mother, seeing how cold General Si was just now, I'm afraid he's going to go back and confront the old lady of the Si family! I'm a little worried. If..."
Lin paused, and after sending away all the maids and servants in the room, she whispered into the old lady's ear:
"That old lady from the Si family hasn't been kind to Xing'er in the past, but now she's pretending to be a good person? Isn't that strange?"
Lin was a smart person and she spotted the problem immediately.
Madam Shen was sitting next to her, so she naturally heard both of these sentences.
She thought for a moment, slapped the armrest, and whispered:
"What my sister-in-law said is true. I'm afraid that old lady has been set up by someone!"
Third Madam Han came over and said urgently:
"It's bad! Si Junshan, I don't know whether Xing'er is dead or alive.
If he doesn't agree to hold the funeral, then the people behind the old lady will naturally see the problem, and won't that ruin Xing'er's plans?"
She was halfway through her words when she started complaining irritably, "Xing'er is still alive, yet they're already having a funeral. How unlucky!"
The old lady nodded, her eyes swept over the faces of the three daughters-in-law one by one, and said slowly:
"If the Si family is going to hold the funeral, you can send someone to attend. If they are not going to hold the funeral, then you don't have to worry about it. Just take care of your own emotions.
It's best that the child is still alive, whether it's unlucky or not is not important."
The three Shen family members nodded in agreement.
As the three of them stepped out of the room, their faces immediately turned sad and sorrowful!
Coupled with the plain clothes worn by everyone in the mansion, the atmosphere in the entire Lan Mansion was very depressing, and it really looked like there was a funeral going on in the mansion.
Si Junshan rushed to the Si Mansion without stopping, and saw a white flag hanging outside the General Zhenyuan Mansion from a distance!
He squeezed his legs together, urging the horse to go faster.
Outside General Zhenyuan's Mansion, the people had surrounded it and it was impossible to get in or out!
"Who died in the Si family?"
"Could it be the old lady of the Si family? I heard she's sixty years old! That's quite old!"
"What are you talking about? I heard from my son-in-law that the second young lady of the Si family is gone!"
"The second young lady of the Si family? Isn't that the Princess of Anping County? Oh my God, she's the miraculous doctor of our Jianzhou!"
"Yes, yes, I've tried the medicine from her shop. It's not only delicious but also very effective!"
"I heard there's been deafening cries outside the Xuanwu Gate in West City these past few days! I thought it was something else... but it turns out they're crying for the County Lady!"
"That's right. Speaking of which, those disaster victims were all rescued by the county lady!"
"It's pitiful! These days, good people never get good rewards!"
Si Junshan walked through the crowd and listened to the people talking, feeling mixed emotions!
His daughter, who was praised by all the people, had been misunderstood by him for many years!
He figured it out on his way back.
If that girl is really dead, not to mention others, just the old lady of the Lan family!
She would definitely wear her first-rank official uniform, go to the palace in person to meet the emperor, and ask for a thorough investigation into the fire at the post station in Qingcheng County!
Now, everyone in the Lan family was wearing plain clothes, with a calm and melancholy look on their faces. At first glance, they seemed very sad, but he could tell that something was wrong!
It seems that, as he expected, the child was not dead and had written a letter to the Lan family, but he, his biological father, had not received any news.
When Si Junshan thought about this, he couldn't help but laugh at himself.
That child probably doesn't believe in himself at all, right?
Si Junshan collected his thoughts and stepped into the mansion. He saw a group of servants in the front yard sorting out the funeral items they had just bought, and they all had belts made of white cloth tied around their waists!
Ling Su saw the general coming back and stepped forward and said:
"The old lady gave the order and sent over a dozen people to bring the things back!"
Si Junshan's face turned livid and he shouted at the servants in the mansion:
"Stop! Take away the white banners!"
After he finished speaking, he walked towards Heyun Courtyard and asked, "Is this how she manages the backyard after letting Wen take charge?"
Ling Su followed behind and said, "After all, Aunt Wen is just a concubine, how dare she argue with the old lady?
Isn't this all about the Second Young Miss? It seems Aunt Wen isn't sure either.
What's more, it was the old lady who went to Cuihe Garden in person.
besides......"
Si Junshan paused, frowned, and asked, "Anything else?"
Ling Su said, "The old lady has sent someone to Linxiang Temple, saying that she is discussing chanting sutras to pray for the deceased with the abbot."
Si Junshan's face turned cold and he quickened his pace towards Heyunyuan.
At the same time, Suihua Garden.
Lu Zhu stood in the courtyard, looking at Si Jinyun who came with ill intentions, and said, "Miss Third, I don't know about this matter. Does the general know about it?"
Si Jinyun glanced at the cold and quiet Suihua Garden.
She sneered and scolded:
"This is my family's business, and you, a slave who sells yourself, dare to say anything?
Tsk tsk, my second sister felt sorry for you and didn’t take you to sleep in the open.
The old lady said, since you are used to serving her, she will reward you by letting you stay with her downstairs!"
When Lu Zhu heard this, he remained expressionless and said with his neck stiff:
"Yes, I am a slave who sells himself, my life is worthless, so I am willing to go down and accompany my young lady.
But if you want to move anything in this yard, you have to step over me!"
