Si Jinxing continued, "Father, why do you want to adopt a child?"
The third brother, who was sitting next to the clan leader, frowned and said:
"You little girl, stop asking about the clan's affairs. You won't understand even if I tell you!
Your father has no sons now, and no one to take over. Who will take care of him in his old age and prosper the family in the future?"
Si Jinxing asked doubtfully, "How could my father not have a son?
Although my eldest brother is gone, we still have my younger brother Heng in our house!
Are you too impatient?"
Si Changkai couldn't bear to hear this, so he sighed and said:
"I told you you didn't understand, yet you're still messing around here! Go back to your own yard and embroider, and don't bother us!"
But when Si Jinchang heard this, he was shocked!
He naturally knew that how could the second sister of the Princess of Anping County be a girl who only knew how to embroider?
However, what made him most suspicious was:
As Si Jinheng's second sister, how could she not know that Si Jinheng had been missing for several days?!
But at this moment, she mentioned Si Jinheng again and again.
For some reason, he always felt that Si Jinxing's coming was not a good omen!
When Si Junshan saw the clan leader scolding his daughter, his face immediately darkened and he retorted:
"Uncle Patriarch, please be careful with your words!
After all, the affairs of my house are family matters, so I don’t want you uncles to worry about them.
It’s getting late, please go back to Hengzhou as soon as possible.
Don't mention this matter again in the future!"
When Si Jinchang heard this, sweat broke out in his palms. Why was this different from what he expected?
He turned his head slightly and gave Lao Wu a wink.
The old man understood what he meant and said, "Junshan, it's not Uncle Wu who is talking about you.
Now that there are no heirs in the family, why are you so persistent?
After a hundred years, will you give the glory of this mansion to outsiders?
Don't forget that you and Junyuan are brothers who are as close as brothers!
Now, if you adopt his son, what difference will there be between him and your own son?"
Upon hearing this, Si Junshan stood up angrily!
All the property and treasures in his house would naturally be left to Xing'er. How could this be considered a bargain for outsiders?
His face was dark, and he was about to start chasing them away, but he heard Si Jinxing say:
"Who said that our Si Mansion has no descendants?"
Upon hearing this, Si Changkai could no longer endure it and shouted angrily:
"Girl, why are you so stubborn? I've already told you that Si Jinheng has been missing for several days!
How can he survive in this cold winter?!"
When Si Jinxing heard this, the doubt on his face suddenly faded away, and he said with a gloomy face:
"You old bastard, my brother Heng is just missing, and you want Si Jinchang to take his place?"
When Si Changkai heard this, he was so angry that he was shaking. It was the third brother next to him who said:
"We are just preparing in advance just in case, right?
If that child can come back, we will naturally stop interfering in this matter!"
The others around him echoed the sentiment, and even Si Jinchang said, "It would be best if Brother Heng'er could come back!"
Si Jinxing curled her lips into a smile and said, "Then it's as you wish!"
She turned around and shouted towards the door: "Heng'er, come in!"
