Sisi glanced at Old Master Qin. "You still have the nerve to ask? The Yang family is doing this for their granddaughter, the Du family is doing this for another granddaughter, and what about you?"
"..."
"If it weren't for the fact that your family exposed this, I would have raided your house long ago. Your family is just like the Du family."
Old Master Qin dared not speak.
One of the Yang family's daughters-in-law mustered her courage and looked at Sisi, saying, "Miss Yun... Miss Yun, the family property you mentioned doesn't... doesn't include our dowry, does it?" Her son and daughter's futures were already ruined; what would they do if they lost all their money?
"include."
“…Miss Yun…I…I married into their family after they sold your mother.”
Sisi pointed at Du Zijuan. "She's been around under your noses for so many years, can't you tell she's Mrs. Du's biological daughter?"
Du Zijuan's nose, mouth, and face shape are quite similar to Mrs. Du's. Considering the way she interacts with Du Zijuan, those familiar with them should be able to guess.
The daughter-in-law of the Yang family wanted to deny it, but Sisi had just said that she hated people lying the most, and the more lies they told, the worse their fate would be.
Sisi looked at the women present and said, "Not only did you notice it, but you must have also used this incident to warn your daughters. Warn them to be wary of their in-laws and not to entrust their children to others."
The women present: "..." How does this little girl know everything?
Sisi looked at the guards. "Bring paper and pen."
"yes."
After the guards brought paper and pens, everyone present wrote down what they knew.
Sisi looked at them one by one. "You're smart enough to know what's good for you. Since you're smart enough, I'll let you explain to the people yourselves. Old Master Yang, Old Master Du, Old Master Qin, how do you plan to explain to the people? Oh, right, didn't you want to compensate my mother? I plan to use that money to repair the river."
Although they weren't human, her mother had the blood of the Du and Qin families flowing in her veins. If she were to speak out about this, people would surely criticize her and her mother. She didn't care about herself, but she didn't want those people to talk about her mother. Therefore, it was best for this matter to be brought up by the Du, Yang, and Qin families.
As for what those three families did? A smart person can guess after a little thought.
Grandpa Du, Grandpa Yang, and Grandpa Qin never expected that Sisi would let them off the hook.
Old Master Yang reacted the fastest. "I plan to tell the people that my daughter didn't take good care of your mother, and we are willing to give two-thirds of our family property to compensate her. In addition, my daughter's later children are too ashamed to call your mother 'sister' or bother her. Is that alright?"
Sisi looked over at Grandpa Du and Grandpa Qin.
Old Master Du was filled with remorse. Heaven had sent the Crown Prince's mother-in-law to their family, and they had actually sold her out. Their family... their family was truly blind to the value of a precious gem. "We have no face to acknowledge your mother, nor do we have the face to bother her."
Old Master Qin also regretted it. If he had known that the child was so lucky, he would have taken the child into their Qin family. "We have no face to acknowledge your mother, and we will not disturb her."
"Alright, let's do it your way."
The next morning, Sisi rode in a magnificent carriage, accompanied by imposing guards, and went to the Du family in a grand manner.
People are curious about who Sisi is.
Grandpa Du, Grandpa Yang, and Grandpa Qin stepped forward and said that their sons and daughters-in-law/daughters and sons-in-law had not taken good care of Feng Chan, and they felt very guilty. They wanted to make it up to Feng Chan. In addition, they were ashamed to acknowledge Feng Chan and were ashamed to be her elders.
After they finished speaking, Sisi stood up again and said that although her mother didn't grow up here, she was born here, so this could be considered her mother's hometown. Now that they had this sum of money, she would use it to repair the nearby waterways.
The people were a little confused, but repairing the waterway was ultimately a good thing. They praised Sisi, saying that the Emperor had made the right choice in selecting her as his daughter-in-law, and wished Sisi and the Crown Prince a long and happy marriage.
The younger generations of the Du, Yang, and Qin families were also somewhat bewildered. After finding out what had happened, the younger generations of the three families were on the verge of tears! Not only would they be penniless from now on, but they would also lose their chance to become officials.
After the local officials learned who Sisi was, they quickly came to pay their respects to her.
After meeting them, Sisi chatted with them for a while and then took them to investigate the river channel.
When the wealthy merchants in the neighborhood learned that Sisi had arrived, they also wanted to show off in front of her, so they all came to Sisi with silver and said that they also wanted to do something for the local people.
Sisi stopped accepting payments once she had collected enough money for repairing the river.
Those who arrive late cannot even give away the silver.
However, Sisi also met with them and praised them.
Sisi, who arrived early, not only treated them to a meal, but also involved them in the river repair project.
Here, everyone is surrounding the moon.
On the other side, it was utterly miserable.
Mrs. Du has already attempted suicide by hanging herself three times.
Apart from her children and her maids and servants, no one else tried to persuade her, including Master Du. Master Du now sleeps in his study every day.
Mrs. Du is now disliked by her in-laws and can't go back to her own family. Mrs. Du is almost going crazy. "Go and call your father."
"My father has something to attend to."
"What could possibly be wrong with him? Go quickly."
Master Du was lost in thought in his study when his youngest son arrived. "Father."
"Your mother hanged herself again?"
"...No, Mother misses you, Mother knows she was wrong."
"So what if you know? She ruined the Du family, and you all."
Master Du's youngest son was also feeling quite bitter. Not only him, but his son and grandson were ruined too. Unless the Crown Prince abandoned that little girl. But after dealing with them, that little girl went to repair the waterways.
If the Emperor knew that the little girl was currently leading people to repair the waterways, he would definitely praise her and say that she was always thinking about the Ning family's empire and always putting the Ning family first.
As long as that little girl doesn't commit adultery, the Emperor probably won't object to her becoming the Crown Princess. Once she's the Crown Princess, the Du family will never be able to recover.
"Father, Mother was just confused for a moment."
“Even if you’re confused, you shouldn’t have sold your sister to that kind of place. Luckily, your sister is lucky, otherwise… Get out. I will never forgive your mother. If your mother doesn’t want to stay at home, she can go find a place to practice Buddhism.”
"Father?!"
Mr. Du waved his hand. "You can leave now. I want to be alone."
"father……"
He had barely uttered a single word when Master Du interrupted him. "Get out."
“Father, this whole thing was caused by you.”
“I know, I’ll become a monk once this matter has died down.”
He had barely finished speaking when Du Zijuan ran in, crying. "Father, my in-laws want to divorce me. Father, please go and beg the Crown Princess's mother, okay? Father, please go and beg her, okay?"
