Mo Zhu and his guards searched for a long time before finally finding Si Si and Lao Hei in a teahouse.
Sisi is listening to the storyteller tell a story.
Old Hei was peeling melon seeds for Sisi.
Mo Zhu thought to himself, "What's a little brat listening to?" Then he walked up to Si Si and said with a smile, "Greetings, Miss! Miss, the Third Young Master was worried that you might not be able to find your way back to the inn, so he sent me with some people to look for you. What do you think?"
Mo Zhu didn't want to laugh either.
But I can't not laugh.
The horse he's riding now belongs to someone else, the food he's eating belongs to someone else, and the inn he's staying at was booked by someone else at their expense.
Sisi said, "I'll go back after I finish listening," and then ignored Mozhu.
Having no other choice, Mo Zhu sent someone back to deliver a letter to Yun Yuqi while peeling melon seeds for Sisi.
Sisi listened to the lectures for three days.
Old Bai spent three days visiting brothels.
Old Hei peeled sunflower seeds for Sisi for three days.
On the fourth day, when they set off, Lao Bai finally appeared, yawning. "Lao Hei, you drive for Xiao Yao... Miss today. I'm going to catch up on sleep in the carriage behind."
After Lao Hei got into Si Si and Aunt Feng's carriage, Lao Bai went to catch up on sleep in the carriage that was used to transport things.
Yun Yuqi and the others thought that Aunt Feng would ask them to help drive the carriage.
Unexpectedly, Old Hei seemed to have a knack for fortune-telling; whenever the horse pulling the load strayed slightly off course, he would shout. His shouts would immediately stop the horse from running away.
Yun Yuqi and the others couldn't help but exclaim: So even horses are afraid of bad people?
After dinner, Sisi called Lao Bai into her and Aunt Feng's room. "Did you sleep well?"
"You slept well."
"Have you run out of money?"
"It's all gone, not a single penny left."
"What did you find out?"
"Jiaojiao from Tianxiang Tower said the old emperor wants to depose the crown prince and install Consort Zhang's son as the crown prince, but Old Man Yun disagrees. Liu'er from Huaman Tower said the Zhang family plans to kill Old Man Yun. Hong'er from Linglong Pavilion said your stepmother's father seems honest and kind on the surface, but he's actually more slippery than an eel..."
Old Bai rattled off a whole bunch of things. "And you? What have you figured out after listening to the storytelling for three days?"
"From what I can tell, Lord Yun thinks that having served two emperors and being a well-known incorruptible official is enough to bring the old emperor to his senses."
"I could tell that my stepmother's father realized something was wrong and wanted to get rid of his daughter and grandson first."
"I can tell from their voices that there's a show to watch as soon as we arrive in the capital."
Lord Yun was a famous figure, and his in-laws were no ordinary people either. Storytellers often mentioned them. What did they do? Can we deduce what kind of people they were from their deeds?
Furthermore, those who listen to audiobooks not only listen, but also discuss and chat about them.
Old Bai pointed to the house next door. "Aren't you sad? You're still his daughter, no matter what."
Sisi glanced at Lao Bai. "You actually asked such a question? Are you still half asleep?"
Too,
Why would this little monster be sad?
This little monster only makes people sad.
Old Bai looked at Aunt Feng. "What about you? Aren't you sad?"
"sad."
Just as Old Bai was about to say, "That's more like it," Aunt Feng continued, "How much silver did you spend on my daughter these past three days? How much?"
"..." I'm still half asleep. "I'm going back to sleep."
After Lao Bai left, Sisi looked at Aunt Feng. "Mother, are you still going?"
“Go away. You can’t get by without your own brothers to help you. I remember I was sold by my stepmother because I had neither an older brother nor a younger brother. If I had an older or younger brother, my stepmother wouldn’t have dared to sell me.”
"Didn't you say you didn't remember anything from your childhood?"
"I just remembered."
"Alright. Let's go to the capital then."
How much money did you give Old Bai?
Not many.
"How much is 'not much'?"
Sisi didn't want to lie to her. "Mom, you'd better not ask. You won't be able to sleep if you do."
"...How come your hands are so big, child?"
Sisi yawned. "Don't worry, we'll have money again once we get to the capital."
Aunt Feng was not at all at ease. "Are you hoping your grandfather and the others will give you a gift? Let me tell you, it's already a miracle they'll even let us in."
Sisi yawned again. "I'd rather rely on myself than on them. Mom, I'm sleepy."
Aunt Feng tapped Sisi's forehead. "You're not sleepy at all. You just don't want to tell your mother how much money you gave Lao Bai?"
Sisi hugged Aunt Feng's waist and rubbed against her. "I'm just sleepy, I'm still a child."
"Alright, alright, you're just sleepy. Come here, let Mom wash your face."
"Um."
Soon, the two groups arrived in the capital.
Sisi's great-grandfather, Yun Yuqi's grandfather, Yun Deren, is currently the Minister of Rites.
Upon arriving at the Minister's residence, Yun Yuqi, along with Aunt Feng and Sisi, had only been gone a short while when Yun Yuqi's wife arrived, and the Third Young Master's wife, along with her youngest son, came to greet them.
Upon seeing Aunt Feng and Sisi, the Third Young Mistress's expression immediately changed. "Why did you bring them back? Weren't you on an errand for the Emperor?"
"Sisi is too old to stay in the countryside anymore."
"You! What did you promise me? You said you'd never let them appear in front of me again. Send them away! Send them away! I don't want to see them! No!"
Yun Yuqi's expression also changed. "Sisi is still my daughter, no matter what."
The third young mistress's voice rose even higher. "I don't care! Send them away! Send them away! If you don't send them away, I...I...I'll divorce you."
