"There is a lack of people to perform the rituals."
Steward Qi's face darkened instantly. "Aren't you afraid I'll throw you into the pond to feed the fish?"
Sisi smiled. "Do you think I would risk my life for those idiots in the Yun family?"
Chief Steward Qi's intuition and experience told him no.
Sisi continued, "Since I dared to come alone, I must have the ability to leave unscathed. I came here simply because I think this business is worth doing. If you protect the Yun family, I, my son, and my grandson will continue to pay our respects to you on time."
"How will this guarantee be implemented?"
"Just leave your life."
"Why you, your son, and your grandson?"
"This is something I can guarantee; I won't promise anything I can't guarantee."
What if our family can't do that?
"You can do it."
"How did the Yun family produce such an anomaly as you?"
"Perhaps the Yun family is not destined to perish."
"Our family hasn't agreed yet."
"You can easily receive centuries of worship, so you have no reason not to agree."
"Easy? You make it sound so simple."
"It's an easy thing for you."
Steward Qi wanted to test Sisi. "How do you make it light? Teach me."
"You don't need me to teach you. But since you asked, I'll tell you something. The Yun family is a famous family of loyal ministers. If the entire Yun family were to be executed, it would definitely cause public outrage. If someone uses the Yun family's affairs to raise the banner of 'purging the court of corrupt officials,' then Consort Zhang and the Seventh Prince would be in a bad situation. In my opinion, destroying the Yun family is just handing a knife to our opponents."
Steward Qi sat down in the chair. "Our family is related to Consort Zhang's family."
Sisi sat down in the chair next to him. "If you were someone from Consort Zhang's family, Consort Zhang and her son would be long gone."
Steward Qi poured Sisi a cup of tea. "Then guess whose people are we working for?"
Sisi picked up the glass and took a sip. "You are your own person."
A smile appeared on Steward Qi's face. "You're good at sweet-talking people."
Sisi poured a cup of tea for Steward Qi. "If you want someone to help you, you have to make them happy first."
Steward Qi picked up the glass and took a sip. "Why did you come back to get involved in this mess?"
“My mother felt I was too lonely and wanted to give me a younger brother or sister from the same parents.”
"Your mother is really brave."
"yes."
Steward Qi took out two silver notes from his sleeve, each worth ten thousand taels. "For my nephew and grandnephew."
Sisi put the silver note away. "Tell me your birth date and time and your name before you entered the palace. If I can find your remains, I'll move them; if not, I'll build you a cenotaph. By the way, have you asked someone to find an auspicious burial site for you?"
Steward Qi looked at Sisi and said, "Our family will be buried in your family's cemetery."
"Then I need to consult a few more experts to see if it will have any impact on my children and grandchildren. I've already done more than enough for the Yun family by having my children and grandchildren pay homage to you."
If Sisi had readily agreed, Steward Qi might have thought she was just fooling him. But since Sisi didn't agree, Steward Qi was actually relieved and felt that Sisi would keep her word.
Chief Steward Qi took out a small bronze longevity lock from his pocket. "This is something I had before I entered the palace. Just bury this in my grave; you don't need to look for my remains."
Sisi accepted it with both hands. "Okay."
Chief Steward Qi told Sisi his birth date and time, as well as his name before entering the palace. "You find the burial site. I don't want anyone to know where my soul is buried."
"Okay. Don't worry, I'll find you a good burial plot and I'll pay my respects to you on time. I don't want you to come looking for me in the middle of the night."
Steward Qi smiled and called in Eunuch Xu. "Pack up these snacks on the table and send her out. I'll go take a nap in the back."
Eunuch Xu: "..." He even prepared some snacks for her?! "Yes."
After Steward Qi left, Eunuch Xu glared at Sisi while serving her some snacks.
Sisi kicked him. "What are you glaring at me for? Hurry up and pretend, or I'll teach you a lesson!"
"Are you really a child of the Yun family?"
"Um."
How could the Yun family produce such a worthless person as you? "Miss Yun, it's all set up."
"Once it's packed, just carry it."
"Yes. Miss Yun, please."
"Um."
The young guard, seeing Eunuch Xu arrive, thought he was going to tell him where to lock up Lao Bai. Unexpectedly, Eunuch Xu told him to release Lao Bai.
The young goalkeeper was surprised. "You let him go?"
Pointing at Sisi, Eunuch Xu said, "She is Minister Yun's great-granddaughter."
"..." The Yun family has a child like this? "Really?"
"It's true. The one who gave Miss Sun's dowry and maids to Chang Le Fang as collateral."
The young man understood.
So that's the wild child who grew up in the countryside. No wonder he dared to let the servants trample on Steward Qi's snacks.
The young gatekeeper looked at Sisi and said, "Miss Yun, let me tell you, this isn't the countryside. You can't just let your servants trample on other people's things like that. You've run into Steward Qi this time; if it were anyone else, they would have given you a good beating."
Sisi glared at the young man. "Enough talk! Release my men right now."
"Miss Yun, I..."
Before he could finish speaking, Sisi kicked him. "Let him go!"
Even a young goalkeeper shouldn't argue with a child. "Let him go, let him go." You'll regret it later.
After the young goalkeeper released Lao Bai, Lao Bai left with Sisi, carrying a bag of snacks with him.
Meanwhile, Grandpa Yun also woke up.
However, the doctor said that it would take at least a month for Grandpa Yun to recover from his illness.
Grandpa Yun was extremely anxious.
