Seeing this, Si Junshan looked at Si Jinxing with a cold face and scolded:
"Don't you even know how to greet people when you meet them?
There's really no manners at all!"
Upon hearing this, Si Jinxing found a chair and sat down, saying indifferently:
"Etiquette? What is that?
My mother died early and no one taught me.
Don’t you think so, Aunt Zhou?
Upon hearing this, Zhou no longer cared about the title of Aunt Zhou.
When she heard Si Jinxing mention the deceased Lan family, she subconsciously shuddered.
She didn't know how much her mother, Liu, who betrayed her, had revealed.
Zhou quickly glanced at Si Junshan and saw that he looked normal, which immediately gave her confidence.
It has been a few days since she resumed her position as the mistress of the Si Mansion.
She has regained some of the aura she had when she was the mistress.
In fact, because of being in solitary confinement for a long time, her temper became even worse.
Zhou snorted coldly, stretched out her hand and threw the teacup on the table beside her in the direction of Si Jinxing, cursing:
"How dare you, a lowly servant, disobey the mistress of the house?"
She was so angry that she naturally didn't notice the trace of worry that quickly flashed across Si Junshan's eyes!
Si Jinyun, who was standing by, didn't notice it either.
At this moment, she just frowned and looked at Si Jinxing. She took out a handful of melon seeds from somewhere and started to eat them as if no one was around.
Even when the cup was thrown at her, the second sister didn't even bat an eyelid!
The maid beside her waved her long arm and unsheathed the cold sword. In the blink of an eye, the cup seemed to have eyes and returned to its original path!
The cup hit Zhou's head accurately, and the hot tea inside splashed on Zhou's face!
Zhou's temper is already bad, and relying on the fact that Si Junshan always listens to her daughter, she becomes even more arrogant and domineering!
She cried out, and cursed:
"What a bold slave!
Come, tie her up for me and sell her to the flower kiln in the north of the city!"
As soon as these words were spoken, no one dared to respond!
The maids on standby outside the courtyard pretended not to hear what was said.
Everyone knows that the skilled maidservant beside the Second Young Lady is not a servant of the Si family, but a member of Prince Mo Ying's mansion!
How can we have the right to betray others?
Seeing this, Zhou Bai frowned and looked at Si Junshan, asking:
"Brother-in-law, look, this is the good girl you raised?
Now, in front of everyone, she is bullying my sister so arrogantly!
If there were no one around, it would be even more outrageous!"
Zhou Lin also said at the right time:
"Uncle, Second Uncle is right.
My aunt is now in better shape than before, so she needs more care!
Don't let Sister Yun feel distressed when she sees this."
Si Jinyun cooperated very well and took the handkerchief to wipe the water off Zhou's face. She said aggrievedly:
"There's nothing I can do, since my second sister is now the county lady.
And I am just a third lady who is neither legitimate nor illegitimate.
My mother has never been respected by my second sister!"
Si Junshan glared at Si Jinxing and quickly coaxed Si Jinyun:
"Good boy, don't worry.
Whatever she has, your father will give you!
You don’t have to envy her!”
Si Jinxing finished eating the melon seeds in her hand. She patted the crumbs on her hand and said in a cold tone:
"Why did you call me here?
If you want to perform a father-daughter love drama just in front of me, there is no need for that!
I don’t want to see it.”
As she spoke, she stood up and said:
"The Zhou family has come, so please stay for a few more days. You never know, we might not see them again in the future.
As for me, I won't keep you company. It wasn't that long ago that the Zhou family's dirty deeds happened, and I'm really afraid of getting into bad luck."
When Zhou Bai heard this, his face suddenly darkened, his eyes widened, and he said angrily:
"What are you talking about?"
As he spoke, he raised his arm, intending to slap Si Jinxing.
But Si Jinxing quietly dragged the whip in his hand to the ground.
The metal spikes collided with the ground, making a hissing sound from time to time.
Zhou Bai raised his hand, then suddenly retracted it.
As soon as Zhou saw the whip, the wounds on her body that had not yet healed began to throb with pain!
Seeing this, Si Junshan immediately scolded:
"In Jianzhou City, what girl would whip out a whip when she disagrees with someone?
Put it away!
He paused slightly and said:
"I called you here today to tell you that your third sister is getting engaged.
As your elder sister and the princess of a county, you can’t be stingy when adding makeup to your dowry!
Also, you are now a county lady, so I guess you don’t care about the Marquis’s family business.
I thought, let’s hand over this family business to Yun’er!”
Upon hearing this, Si Jinxing looked surprised and asked:
"Yo, congratulations to the third sister!
But, our family actually favors girls over boys?
Is there no son in our family?
Why does the third sister have to inherit the family business?
Or...
Aunt Zhou already knew that our eldest son was dead, so she was so anxious to transfer the family property to the third sister? "
She had known for a long time that everyone in the Si family was hiding the truth from Zhou, saying that Si Jinhao had gone out to study.
This coincides with Si Jinxing's original plan!
She wasn't feeling sorry for Zhou, but she was thinking, after Si Jinyue's affair was exposed...
When Si Jinyun couldn't afford the ointment and was completely disfigured...
Then he told Zhou about Si Jinhao's death.
Such layer upon layer of surprises must be very exciting!
But unexpectedly, Zhou Lin showed up halfway.
