Upon hearing this, Si Jinxing paused slightly while flipping through the account book and nodded to indicate that he understood.
She suddenly felt her eyes swell up, but she raised the corners of her lips and smiled:
"Qi Moli, tell me, wasn't it too cruel for me to let her watch Si Jinyue being beheaded?
But, I really… I’m very happy.
I have never felt as relaxed as I do today."
Qi Moli looked at the little girl with red eyes in front of him and felt heartbroken.
What Zhou experienced before his death was just what his daughter had experienced when she was five years old.
He put down the brush dipped in ink, stretched out his hand to embrace the person, and said:
"You, how can you even know how to harm others? Not to mention being cruel!
She just tied herself up in knots and it's all her own fault!
"Little fool, why are you crying when you are so happy?"
As he spoke, he raised his hand to wipe away the tears that fell from the corners of her eyes. He wished he could whip Zhou a hundred more times!
Qi Moli hugged the little girl in his arms tighter and said:
"Xing'er, the past is the past. From now on, you have me."
Upon hearing this, Si Jinxing only responded muffledly, "Yeah."
She drove all day yesterday, worked in the palace at night, spent the morning with her grandmother, and watched the execution in the afternoon.
She thought she was extremely tired but she was not sleepy at all. She was even discussing the wedding in May with Qi Moli.
But at this moment, in Qi Moli's arms, Si Jinxing only felt sleepiness coming like a tide.
She couldn't hear clearly what Qi Moli was saying.
Prime Minister Liu Yangfeng was sentenced to death along with his entire family for participating in Qi Nanyue's rebellion.
The daughter of the Xia family who had just married into the Liu family was not spared either!
What? How could Qianchen from the Red Gang be Prince Hanlan?
Si Jinxing felt her eyelids getting heavier and heavier, and soon she fell into a deep sleep.
A dreamless night.
The next day, when Si Jinxing woke up, it was already dawn.
Luzhu brought in some warm water and helped Si Jinxing wash up before saying:
"Miss, isn't Concubine Zhou from the mansion next door dead?
I heard that the general had him thrown into a mass grave early this morning."
Yan Fei hadn't seen her young lady for a long time, so she didn't go to the shop today and stayed at home to serve her young lady.
While she was combing Si Jinxing's hair, she said:
"Zhou's status was a concubine, and if there were anyone in her family, her body could be sent back.
But now, the Zhou family has long been extinct, so naturally they will be thrown into a mass grave.
only......."
She paused, looked at Si Jinxing, and said:
"Miss, the Third Miss is still here. If she knew about this, would she use it as an excuse to come back and cause trouble?"
Si Jinxing selected a magnolia hairpin, handed it to Yan Fei, and said:
"You've always been thoughtful, but I'm afraid you've overthought this time."
She couldn't help but think of Si Jinyue and Si Jinyun, who she saw collecting the body at Caishikou yesterday.
She turned to look at Qingchan and asked:
"Where did she take Si Jinyue's body?"
Qing Chan placed the food on the table and said:
"Yesterday, Mo Qiu sent someone to follow her and saw her transport Si Jinyue's body to the eastern suburbs, where she randomly found a piece of open space and buried it.
There isn’t even a tombstone.”
Si Jinxing nodded, said nothing more, sat at the table and finished breakfast.
She secretly thought, this Si Jinyun probably doesn't want to have anything to do with the Si family anymore?
As she expected, in the evening, Mo Qiu came to report:
"The Third Miss of the Si Mansion took Zhou's body away, transported it to the western suburbs, and found a vacant lot to bury it.
She did not erect a tombstone for Zhou, but just kowtowed three times in front of the grave and left.
I've checked that place, but I'm afraid I won't be able to find it next time I go."
At noon, Nan Ronglang came again.
Si Jinxing had a good rest today, so she started to perform joint cleaning surgery on him.
An hour later, when Nan Ronglang slowly woke up, he only felt numbness and swelling in his legs. Was there really no pain?
He turned around and saw the two women in the outer room, talking and laughing happily.
He coughed violently and shouted:
"Hey! Sister Xing, is this how you take care of me?"
The two people chatting and laughing outside were Si Jinxing and Si Jinyi.
Just as Si Jinxing was about to speak, she heard Si Jinyi beside her say:
"My second sister is helping you check your legs, and you're still talking to her so loudly?
Is this the courtesy of you Daqing people?"
Nan Rong in the inner room heard this and retorted:
"I did spend a lot of silver, a full two hundred thousand taels!
This is a business, shouldn't your second sister be more careful?
Besides, I'm talking to my sister Xing, so why would a little girl like you have the right to speak?"
Upon hearing this, Si Jinyi stood up suddenly, rushed to the bed in the inner room, and shouted at the man:
"My second sister is my biological sister, so naturally I have to speak up for her!
Besides, I guess no one else can see your legs well, so you shamelessly begged my second sister to take a look, right?
More than 200,000? If you have the guts, don’t ask my second sister to look at it, and you’re still picky! "
Si Jinxing stared at the two people arguing with each other in amazement, not knowing how to stop them.
How could she not know why her fourth sister, who had always been well-behaved and reserved, acted like a little firecracker every time she saw Nan Ronglang?
Nan Ronglang, in the Daqing Palace, is so weird and weird that no one can get close to him!
Now you are arguing with a little girl?
She took the cup on the table and slammed it twice before stopping the two people who were arguing loudly and said:
"The surgery on the leg was done very well, and the extra bones on the top have been removed.
You don't feel any pain now because the anesthetic hasn't worn off yet.
The pain is expected to last for half a month to a month. During this period, remember not to use your legs. You can lie on the couch and do joint flexion and extension exercises.
When Nan Ronglang heard that it would take so long, he felt a little disappointed, but he soon figured it out.
A long recovery time is always better than no cure!
Si Jinxing also explained the precautions in detail to Nan Ronglang's "coachman" Lun Sang before taking Si Jinyi away.
In the afternoon, just as she finished reading the list of children sent by Zheng Ranran, she received the decree from the Empress Dowager summoning her.
When she arrived, she saw that her three aunts had already arrived at the Empress Dowager's Wanfu Palace and were sitting in chairs, talking and laughing with the Empress Dowager.
Sitting opposite them were the Queen, the Crown Princess, Princess Heng, the Eighth Princess, Princess Chang'an, and Princess Xuanning.
Si Jinxing stood five steps away from the Empress Dowager, knelt slightly in greeting, and said:
"Your humble servant pays respects to the Empress Dowager."
Seeing this, the Queen Mother smiled kindly and said:
"Xing girl is here?
I was just talking to your aunts about your marriage with Lao Jiu!"
The more she looked at Si Jinxing, the more she liked her. Especially the night before yesterday, this girl shot Luo Kun to death with a hidden weapon when he was about to assassinate the emperor!
As soon as she finished speaking, someone beside her said with some disdain:
“The county lord went to the northern border without permission, so let’s not talk about that for now.
Just to say, she was abducted by Prince Hanlan for ten days!
I wonder if the county lady's body is still clean?"
