Si Jinyi's words naturally reached the old lady's ears.
The old lady was already feeling upset, and when she heard this, she completely forgot about Eunuch Zhang who was still present!
She scolded angrily:
"Shut up! What's the point of having a little girl like you here? You're such a chatterbox!"
Si Jinyi is still just a little girl, and she is usually very obedient.
At this moment, when she heard the old lady's scolding, she took a step back in fear.
Si Junshan protected the child behind him and frowned:
"What is this mother doing? The child didn't say anything wrong!"
He really wanted to argue with the old lady, but Eunuch Zhang was still around, so he had to save face.
Si Jinxing didn't care about face or not, she said expressionlessly:
"Fourth sister, just because you say something is too talkative? Then why didn't you say a word to third sister when she was speaking just now?
Or do you dislike anyone who speaks up for me?
In this case, I can’t help you with what you just said!”
The old lady was furious when she heard this. She glanced at Eunuch Zhang and complained:
"Eunuch, look at her, she is so rude and disrespectful to her elders, how can she be worthy of the title of County Master?
My family has failed to educate our daughter properly. Please inform the Emperor and have her title revoked!"
After she finished speaking, she glared at Si Jinxing, her face full of expression: If I'm not happy, you won't be happy either!
Who doesn't know that what the royal family values most is rules?
She was sure that if the emperor knew that this second girl was so unruly, he would definitely be unhappy!
Eunuch Zhang just took a sip of hot tea at this time, and found that the tea soup was delicate and smooth, with a refreshing fragrance!
His eyes lit up, what a great tea!
He thought again that the girl had just given the emperor tea, and it must be this kind of tea!
He couldn't help but feel overjoyed. How could the emperor drink tea without his cup?
Eunuch Zhang was secretly delighted, but suddenly he heard the old lady's words requesting to be relieved of her title!
He frowned slightly and said unhappily:
"Old lady, you are already old, why are you so stubborn?
Can't you really see the county lady's character?
She was just a young girl of coming of age, but she single-handedly suppressed the epidemic and saved tens of thousands of people in Jianzhou!
She was not afraid of hard work and went to Xuzhou to provide relief to the victims and rebuild counties and towns. Aren’t these enough to match her current title?
What you said about your family not being good at educating your daughter is true!
You allow your daughter to discuss state affairs and seek the position of princess, which is a serious crime!
Our family didn't directly send your eldest daughter and granddaughter to the Southern Prison of Jingzhao Prefecture because we saw that the county princess had just returned to the capital after making merit, so we showed you some mercy!
It's bad enough that you're ungrateful, but you even dare to falsely accuse the county lady?
Our family really opened our eyes today!"
The old lady never imagined that the royal father-in-law would distort the facts like this!
She was panicking, and the words she least wanted to hear came to her ears:
"Since the old lady is so stubborn, then I will return to the palace and report to the emperor, and cancel the old lady's imperial decree!"
After saying this, Eunuch Zhang glanced at the clever ghost who was watching the show beside him, and then said:
"There are many things going on in the court right now, so it's inconvenient to disturb the Emperor with your family's affairs. The rest will be handed over to General Si to handle.
Of course, we will keep an eye on the follow-up. If General Si shows any signs of favoritism, we will report it to the Emperor!"
After he finished speaking, he stood up and said goodbye to Si Jinxing. He then looked at Si Junshan who was about to see him out, raised his hand to stop him, and said:
"We know the way, so we don't need the general to escort us. You'd better get this over with as soon as possible!"
Eunuch Zhang glanced at the old lady of the Si Mansion who was crying and begging for mercy, then shook his head and walked out of the front hall and headed straight for the door!
This old woman is totally ignorant of the immensity of the world. I wonder how this government office has managed to survive for so many years!
Si Junshan didn't go to see her off. He glanced at everyone in the hall and his eyes stopped on the old lady who was crying loudly.
He was quite annoyed and said in a deep voice:
"Why should you cry, mother? Isn't this exactly what you wanted?
Xing'er is my daughter. Whether she is good or bad has nothing to do with others. You are overreaching a little too much!
Mother, this is where I leave my words for today.
Within three days, you will return to Hengzhou with your elder sister and brother.
Otherwise, don't blame me for sending your elder sister and Youchan to Jingzhao Prefecture."
Si Junhong, who was slumped on the ground at this time, was filled with disbelief when he heard this!
She never expected that her second brother, who had always been kind and honest, would say such harsh words!
She struggled to stand up, but because she had been kneeling for too long, her legs were numb and she fell back to the ground.
She was so ashamed and angry that she no longer cared about her dignity and cursed angrily:
"Si Junshan, you are a high-ranking official now, so it's alright for you to look down on poor relatives like us!
But why did he send his mother back to Hengzhou?
How could our Si family raise a disobedient, unfilial, ungrateful, and ungrateful person like you?!"
After hearing this, Si Junshan changed his usual soft-hearted attitude and said expressionlessly:
"How come you forget what you've done so quickly, elder sister?
After all, is it me who looks down on you?
Or did you take the initiative and put your hands in places that shouldn't be touched?
First it was Xing'er's private property, then it was Xing'er's marriage. Which one should you reach out for?
As for her mother, she made quite a fuss before Xing'er went north!
Considering her advanced age, I endured it for the time being, hoping that she could calm down and rest.
Who would have thought that he first wanted to embezzle the property in Xing'er's courtyard, and now he is allowing you to bully Xing'er!
