Si Jinyun shook his head desperately and said in disbelief:
"This is fake, this must be a sorcery!
How could my cousin be such a person? No way! "
She knew that Zhou Lin must have had selfish motives in helping her, simply because he wanted to return to the prosperous days when his uncle was an official in the court.
But she never expected that he would harbor such evil intentions, treating her as a ladder to the sky and a bridge to be demolished after crossing the river!
Si Jinxing glanced at her, picked up the hot tea, took a sip, and said:
"Whether this is true or not, you should know it yourself.
Don’t get excited, just keep reading.”
When Si Jinyun heard this, she saw a well-dressed middle-aged man coming into Zhou Lin's private room.
When Zhou Lin saw the person coming, he was stunned at first, then he said:
"What's your name, eunuch? I wonder why Eunuch Liu didn't come today?"
When Si Jinyun heard this, he looked at the man in brocade clothes. Is this man a eunuch in the palace?
The eunuch in blue robe who entered the room stared at Zhou Lin carefully, until Zhou Lin got goose bumps all over his body, and then he said:
"Eunuch Liu is on duty today and cannot be away. My name is Chang, and I have come here on behalf of Eunuch Liu."
Zhou Lin poured tea in a flattering manner, brought it to Eunuch Chang, and said:
"Zhou Lin meets Eunuch Chang. You must have worked hard on the journey.
But, I wonder what instructions the father-in-law has for today?"
Eunuch Chang did not take the teacup, and said in a hoarse voice:
"Young Master Zhou, I heard that you relied on my master's power to take over the Si Mansion for yourself. Is this true?"
Zhou Lin's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he hurriedly explained:
"Please listen to my explanation, Eunuch Liu said before that he wanted to bring down the Si family.
I thought, if I could take the Si family into my own hands, wouldn't it be more convenient for my master to use them in the future?"
When Eunuch Chang heard this, his face darkened and he said:
"Which one do you think is more likely to attract the attention of the court, if Si Junshan gets into trouble quietly or if he gives you the entire Si Mansion?
Once targeted by someone with ulterior motives, this plan will be completely ruined!
Good luck to you!"
After saying this, Eunuch Chang stood up and said, "I'll go home first. You stay here and think about it."
Zhou Lin knelt down and kowtowed, with beads of sweat on his forehead.
He helped Zhang up and said with some fear:
"What should I do? Can I really give up the title?"
Zhang spat in the direction where Eunuch Chang left and said:
"Son, listen to me. If you don't bite the meat that's right in your mouth, wouldn't that be stupid?"
As soon as Zhang finished speaking, the door of the private room was pushed open again.
She shouted angrily:
"There's nothing needed in this room. What are you doing here? Get out!"
The wooden door creaked open and a white-faced eunuch wearing a crimson robe with dark patterns came in.
The person who came was Eunuch Liu.
Zhou Lin immediately pulled Zhang and knelt on the ground, saying:
"Welcome Eunuch Liu."
After entering the room, Eunuch Liu found a chair and sat down. He glanced at Zhang and asked:
"What were you two talking about just now? Who were you scolding?"
Zhou Lin waved his hands and said, "Nothing, why is my father-in-law here?"
Eunuch Liu frowned slightly, and asked with a stern expression:
"Why are we here? Didn't you ask us to come?"
Zhou Lin was startled when he heard this and said:
"No, I received a message from the palace servants saying that the eunuch had something to tell me and asked me to come.
Isn’t it?
When Eunuch Liu heard this, he stood up and paced around the room for a few steps.
He turned to look at Zhou Lin and said:
"I remembered it wrongly. Then tell me, what is the current situation of the Si Mansion?"
Zhou Lin had no doubts and said truthfully:
"I know I was wrong and shouldn't have set my sights on the Marquis of Sifu.
Eunuch Chang has just told me about the drawbacks of this matter. I will definitely keep this in mind and resolve it properly."
Eunuch Chang?
When Eunuch Liu heard this, his brows jumped. Where did Eunuch Chang come from?
He narrowed his eyes slightly and said:
"Have you met Eunuch Chang? What did he say?"
Zhou Lin thought that Eunuch Liu was just asking a common question, so he immediately said:
"Eunuch Chang said that my greed for the title of Marquis of Dingguan would cause trouble for the master, and I think he is right."
Eunuch Liu's face turned pale and he asked:
"You are so bold in this matter!
Is your intention to inherit the title known to outsiders?"
When Zhou Lin saw that Eunuch Liu had a strange look on his face, he became a little nervous and said:
"Yesterday, at the Si Mansion, my aunt, uncle, and their families were all there. Oh, by the way, the Princess of Anping was also there."
When Eunuch Liu heard this, his expression suddenly brightened and he said:
"Well, now that you understand the seriousness of the matter, don't be greedy for those things anymore. Just stay calm and stay calm."
He stood up, took out a bulging silver bag from his sleeve, and said:
"This is a reward from the master. I will return to the palace to report first."
Once the display screen was turned off, it was pitch black with no picture on it, but it reflected Si Jinyun's frightened expression.
She had just clearly seen a hint of murderous intent flash across Eunuch Liu's eyes.
Si Junshan glanced at her and said:
"Now that you know the truth, tell me why you colluded with Zhou Lin."
Si Jinyun turned around dumbly and said:
"Father, you already knew I wasn't your biological child, right?"
Without waiting for Si Junshan to answer, she said self-deprecatingly:
"That's right, how can a wild child like me deserve your attention?
