"Summon them all? Mother, you're not going to ask them if they want a divorce, or if they want to take the children back to their parents' home, are you?"
Madam Yun hummed in agreement.
"Is that really so?" "Mother, this matter concerns the selection of an heir. Let's wait for my father-in-law and husband to return before discussing it. So as not to..." So as not to do something wrong... "So as not to cause them trouble."
After thinking about it, Madam Yun felt that Madam Yun made a good point. "Alright then. It won't make a difference if you stay another half day. Do you have anything else to do? If not, go back and rest. I'm tired too."
"That's all, you can rest now."
"Um."
After leaving the old lady's place, the First Madam went to find Yun Yuqi again.
Yun Yuqi thought the First Madam was going to talk to him about Lao Hei and Lao Bai again. Unexpectedly, the First Madam dismissed all the servants as soon as she arrived.
After the servants left, the First Madam's face immediately darkened. "Whose idea was this today?"
Yun Yuqi feigned ignorance. "Mother, what are you saying? I don't understand."
"Don't you understand?" The First Madam stared into Yun Yuqi's eyes and said, "Do you think only you and your wife are smart? As soon as your grandmother told your grandfather, he knew why you brought Aunt Feng and that child back. He knew that today's show was a charade put on by you and your wife."
“Your grandfather is very angry. You know, he hates it when people try to outsmart him. Even if our family gets through this, your wife can forget about ever coming back.”
"Also, your grandfather said that the child lost her own things and people, not your daughter-in-law's."
"If you want to give your wife more money, you'd better figure it out yourself. Your family won't give you any."
"You've disappointed your mother so much. You don't consult your parents, but you do consult your in-laws. Just wait for your grandfather and father to come back and deal with you."
Yun Yuqi was surprised that his grandfather had guessed so quickly. In Yun Yuqi's mind, his grandfather had always been a pedantic person, and a pedantic person would not have thought of it so quickly.
“Mother, it’s not that I don’t want to discuss this with you and my father, it’s that you and my father are just like my grandfather. Mother, anyone with eyes can see that the Emperor wants to make Consort Zhang’s son the Crown Prince, and he will definitely make Consort Zhang’s son the Crown Prince. But you insist on going against the Emperor.”
“I tried to persuade my grandfather and father. But every time I tried, they scolded me. My surname is Yun, I can't betray you, I can't betray the family. But I don't want my wife and children to die with me.”
“My wife’s surname isn’t Yun, and my child is still young.”
“I didn’t want to do this either, you forced me to.”
The First Madam was surprised that Yun Yuqi dared to talk back. "You! Fine! Fine! Fine! We forced you! It was our fault! But what about the child? Isn't that child your child too? Why did you bring her back?"
"People in the capital have long forgotten about them. They're not even in the family genealogy. If the Yun family were to encounter any official, they wouldn't remember them. Even if they did, a little money would suffice."
Yun Yuqi felt a little guilty. "She shouldn't have been born in the first place."
The First Madam could hardly believe her ears! "You! How could you become like this?! You're going to be the death of me! Just stay here by yourself!"
After saying that, the First Madam stormed off.
On the other side, after finishing her meal, Sisi wanted to take Lao Hei and Lao Bai out for a stroll.
The butler rushed over as soon as he received the message. "Young Miss, are you going out shopping?"
Sisi, with a serious expression, hummed in agreement.
Old Hei clenched his fist.
The butler shrank back. "Young Miss, could you wait a moment? I'll go to the old lady and get you some money; you'll need some for shopping."
Sisi glanced at the butler. "Yes."
As soon as she finished speaking, the butler hurriedly went to consult the old lady.
What else could the old lady do?
The old lady couldn't possibly let the guards fight with Old Black, could she?
Sisi and the others had only been waiting for a short while when the old lady arrived. "Are you going out shopping?"
"Um."
"You've just arrived in the capital and don't know where to go for fun? Your great-grandmother will take you there." So you won't end up in Chang Le Fang again.
The old lady originally wanted the housekeeper to go with her, but she was afraid that the housekeeper would not be able to control Sisi.
Sisi glanced at the old lady's white hair. "Alright, let's go."
Seeing that Sisi had agreed, the housekeeper quickly had someone bring over the old lady's car.
After getting in the car, the old lady asked Sisi what she used to do in her hometown.
Sisi said one word: "Play."
The old lady was a little annoyed that Sisi didn't like to talk. "Where's your aunt?"
"Cook."
"..." Couldn't you have said a few more words? "If you have any problems in the future, go to your great-grandmother, and she will take care of them for you."
"Um."
"...There are many places in the capital that are not suitable for children. Let me tell you about them."
Sisi looked at the old lady's white hair again. "Speak."
Sisi went out for a little over an hour and then came back.
Aunt Feng was surprised to see her return so early. "Why are you back so early? It's not even dark yet."
"Madam Yun was afraid I would cause trouble, so she followed me the whole time. I got bored of walking around and came back."
"So that's how it is. Where's Old Bai?"
"Going to play."
Oh no! That ten thousand taels of silver is gone again! "Daughter, Mother wants to discuss something with you, okay?"
"you say."
"From now on, could you only give Lao Bai half the money, and save the other half for him? I'll give it to him when he gets married. Don't worry, I won't touch his money. I just feel bad seeing him spend so much money."
"Money is earned, not saved."
