On the other side, Gao Pengcheng sighed again: I'm so unambitious!
Look at Old Master Yun, even after being exiled, he still urges his children to study, saying that studying is to distinguish right from wrong and good from evil, not to become an official.
When Sisi heard Gao Pengcheng switch from the front carriage to the carriage with her, Fengchan, Old Master Yun, Old Madam Yun, and Yun Yuqi, she pushed open the carriage door and looked at Gao Pengcheng, saying:
"Uncle Gao, why don't you study with my great-grandfather too?" So that her great-grandfather won't have to put all his effort on her alone.
Grandpa Yun returned to Sisi's carriage so that he could teach Sisi to read.
To avoid disturbing Sisi's studies, Wang Ningxue and Twelve's nanny took Twelve to another vehicle. Of course, if Twelve got sleepy, he could sleep in Sisi's crib.
Grandpa Yun had three sons, and his three sons had seven grandsons. All three sons and seven grandsons were successful candidates in the imperial examinations, were highly learned, and were all capable of serving as teachers.
Grandpa Yun felt that it would be better for Yun Yuqi to spend more time with his wife and children and get closer to them than to have him teach his nephews, nieces, and grandnephews. After all, the Yun family had no shortage of tutors.
So, Old Master Yun also brought Yun Yuqi over.
When Gao Pengcheng heard Sisi suggest that he study with Grandpa Yun, he felt that Sisi truly treated him like an uncle and always thought of him when there were good things to do.
Gao Pengcheng turned around and looked at Sisi with a smile, saying, "Uncle won't learn it. Uncle has been slow since he was a child. Uncle will just listen."
Sisi tilted her head and looked at Gao Pengcheng with a puzzled expression, saying, "Uncle, shouldn't someone who's stupid learn even more?"
Gao Pengcheng: "..." That makes so much sense! "Then should Uncle learn it too?"
“Study!” Sisi turned around and looked at Grandpa Yun with a pure and innocent expression, saying, “Great-Grandpa, I like Uncle Gao, and I also like Great-Grandpa. I want to study with Uncle Gao and Great-Grandpa.”
Grandpa Yun: "..." Something felt off. "Alright. Third son, third son's wife, you two come inside and sit down. I'll go to the door to teach Sisi and Gao Jietou to read."
Sisi successfully found someone to share Grandpa Yun's love with her.
Of course, if Gao Pengcheng learned it, the other officials and constables had to learn it too.
Sisi tried to bring them all to Old Master Yun's side, but the Yun family had too many tutors. Old Master Yun simply assigned one tutor to each of them.
Everyone was sleeping soundly at night.
Sisi's nose twitched.
Sisi got up, put on her clothes, and came out of the house.
As soon as I came out, I saw Lao Hei standing at the door with a bag in his hand.
Sisi's lips curled up.
Old Hei gestured a two to Sisi. The implication was that the kid regretted it as soon as he got to the second step and didn't want to die anymore.
Sisi kicked the bag in Lao Hei's hand. "Why did you bring it back again?"
He said he has something to ask you.
"Alright. Let's talk outside." Although Old Hei had drugged everyone at the inn, what if something went wrong? Better safe than sorry.
Once outside, Old Black emptied the assassin out of the bag.
The assassin was incredibly frustrated!
He said he wanted to come back, so doesn't that mean he wants to join them?
The bandit insisted on putting him in a bag.
He's not a commodity!
He's their brother! Brother!
The assassin glared at Sisi and said angrily, "Miss, he's abusing me!"
Sisi stood on tiptoe, raised her arm, and patted the assassin's chest. "Don't be angry, don't be angry, we'll get our revenge when we get the chance. What do you want to ask me? Go ahead and ask."
The assassin glared at Old Black and said, "You just wait." Then he looked at Sisi and said, "Why did you treat me to good food? Why did you buy me a coffin and find a burial plot?"
"Oh, this? Let me ask you, you defeated many of your companions to get the chance to do errands for the First Prince, right?"
"Um."
Sisi looked at him with a sincere expression and said, "You work so hard, but if in the end you can't even afford a decent meal, a good coffin to sleep in, or a good grave to live in, wouldn't that be a huge waste of your life?"
The assassin felt heartbroken upon hearing this.
People like them often die without even a proper burial; they end up as food for wild dogs.
"Why...why are you so good to me? I said I want to be the Crown Prince's ghost."
"I have money."
"...Just...just because of this?"
"Yes. I have money, and I feel it's a shame that you've worked so hard for so many years only to end up lying dead in the wilderness. So I want to give you a good meal, a nice coffin, and a nice grave."
"...Not because you think I'm a hero?"
Sisi glanced at him sideways. "What kind of hero are you? You're just aiding and abetting evil."
"..."
"Besides, I just think that if I didn't have money, I couldn't afford to treat you to a good meal, a good coffin, and a good tomb, even if you're a hero."
"..." He thought they admired him and thought he was a hero. Turns out they were just rich and simply did good deeds every day. "Miss, could you please stop talking about sleeping in a good coffin and living in a good tomb? When you say that, I feel like I'm already buried."
"Okay. Any other questions?"
"Yes. Why did you make me choose the coffin and the burial plot myself?"
Sisi rolled her eyes. "Isn't that obvious?" Of course, I want you to regret it. If I stabbed you in the back, wouldn't you fight me? Wouldn't you hate me? Letting you choose your own coffin and burial plot is different. It lets you experience what death is like, and you won't hate me then?
"..." How is that nonsense?
Sisi looked at the assassin and said, "Of course you should choose what you use yourself. I've already paid for it, and you still want me to choose for you? I don't have the time for that. Besides, I don't even know what you like."
