Sisi cupped her hands in thanks to Qi Zhiyuan. "Thank you, sir."
"No need for thanks. You two should discuss this quickly. I'll give you just the time it takes to drink a cup of tea."
"Alright!" Sisi jumped out of the car and shouted, "Come on, everyone get off, everyone get off!"
The Yun family members and Sun Xingyao all got out of the car.
Gao Pengcheng's men also came over.
Old Hei's men were somewhat eager to try.
Zhao Mazi wanted to slap Qi Zhiyuan off his horse.
After everyone gathered around, Sisi realized she couldn't see everyone, so she asked Lao Hei to bring over a horse.
After Lao Hei brought the horse over, Sisi asked Lao Hei to lift her up and put her on the horse's back.
After settling down, Sisi waved her little hand. "Come on, everyone, tell me, how should this be resolved? As for the cause of this, you all know without me having to explain. Great-Grandpa offended Lord Qi."
As soon as Sisi finished speaking, Fengchan said, "How about we apologize to Lord Qi?"
Just as Old Man Yun was about to speak, Sisi looked at Qi Zhiyuan and asked, "Lord Qi, do you think this is acceptable?"
"no."
"Let's think about it again. Come on, everyone, is there any other way?"
Old Black: "Kill them all."
As soon as Lao Hei finished speaking, Sisi said, "No, no, Lord Qi is an official appointed by the imperial court; we can't kill him. Let's think about it again."
Old Man Yun: "I offended him, I'll go with him."
Just as Boss Yun and the others were about to persuade Old Man Yun to stop thinking about it, they looked at Qi Zhiyuan and asked, "Lord Qi, we'll hand over my great-grandfather to you, and you'll let us go, okay?"
Qi Zhiyuan gave a cold snort. "None of you are leaving here today."
"It doesn't work? Then let's think of something else. Come on, everyone, let's think of another way?"
Sun Xingyao: "How about we ask Lord Qi what it will take for him to let us go?"
"Alright." Sisi looked at Qi Zhiyuan again. "Lord Qi, what will it take for you to let us go?"
"If you can get me reinstated, I will let you go."
Sisi turned her head back: "Can you get Lord Qi reinstated?"
The Yun family and Sun Xingyao: "..." Isn't that obvious? We're in a precarious situation, barely able to save ourselves!
"No way? Then think of some other solutions?"
Wang Ningxue: "How about we stop taking the car from now on?"
Sisi looked at Qi Zhiyuan again. "Lord Qi, shall we stop taking the carriage from now on?"
"No. You have already sat down; you have already deceived the emperor."
Yun Ruibo clenched his fist. "At worst, we'll just go with him. He can't possibly kill us, can he?"
Sisi took off one shoe and threw it at Yun Ruibo. "You idiot! You think prison only has torture instruments? There are thugs in prison too. If you go in, you might lose an arm or a leg. If your sisters go in, they can forget about marrying well. Besides, with Lord Qi's attitude, how many of us can he let out?"
Yun Ruibo: "...You! You actually threw a shoe at me!"
"So what if I throw it at you?" Sisi took off her other shoe and threw it at Yun Ruibo. "You idiot! Is this the time to play the hero? Do you even have the guts to play the hero?"
"I...I'm not capable, but you are. If you can resolve this matter today, I'll listen to you from now on."
"Old Black, give me your shoes."
Old Hei took off one of his shoes and gave it to Sisi.
Sisi picked it up and threw it at Yun Ruibo. "You idiot, always offering yourself up to others, are you that worthless?"
"I...I..."
"What do you mean, 'what do you mean, 'what do you mean'? Pick up our shoes for us."
"Fine, I'll pick it up! But if you can't handle it after I pick it up, I'll throw my shoe at you! I have shoes too."
After Yun Ruibo picked up Sisi and Lao Hei's shoes, Sisi put on her shoes and looked at Old Man Yun and the others, asking, "Do you have any other ideas?"
Old Man Yun and the others didn't say anything.
Sisi let out a long sigh. She really didn't want to deal with these people! "Big cousin, big cousin, you two come with me."
Sun Xingyao quickly came over. "Sixth cousin, where are you going? Your eldest cousin will get you the horse."
Sisi pointed in a direction. "Over there."
"Alright! Sixth cousin, hold on tight."
"Um."
Sun Xingyao led the horse with one hand and pulled Yun Ruibo with the other, walking in the direction Sisi pointed.
Sisi felt that it was about time, so she told Sun Xingyao to stop.
After stopping, Sisi turned her horse around and looked at Qi Zhiyuan, saying loudly, "Lord Qi, may I have a word with you in private?"
"Okay." This little girl is quite interesting.
Qi Zhiyuan rode over on horseback. "What do you want to say to me?"
Sisi smiled. "Lord Qi, did my great-grandfather and my grandfather offend only you?"
"Of course not. Your great-grandfather and your grandfather offended a lot of people."
"Did we hide anything when we rode in the carriage?"
"No."
"Then how come no one has bothered us after we've been traveling by carriage for over a month? You said it yourself, my great-grandfather and my grandfather have offended a lot of people."
"...What are you trying to say?"
Sisi looked into Qi Zhiyuan's eyes and said, "What I want to say is that the reason they don't cause us trouble is not because they don't hate my great-grandfather and the others, but because they know that the Emperor has other uses for keeping my great-grandfather and the others around."
"What's it for?"
“My great-grandfather was an honest official, as were my grandfathers. Our Yun family is highly respected among the people. If anyone is dissatisfied after the Seventh Prince ascends the throne, as long as he pardons my family and recalls my great-grandfathers, the people will think that the Seventh Prince is a good emperor. With the support of the people, the Seventh Prince's throne will be more than half secure.”
