Grandpa Yun was caught in a dilemma.
Sisi looked at Old Master Yun and said, "If you want to help the wicked and make the people suffer for decades, or even centuries, then I will take my mother, my brother, and Twelve away."
Grandpa Yun raised his hand and tapped Sisi on the head. "You little rascal, your great-grandfather hasn't even thought it through yet and you're already saying you want to leave. Even if you go to the ends of the earth, you'll still be your great-granddaughter."
"You're only taking your mother and your younger brother with you. Tomorrow, your great-grandfather will have your aunts, uncles, and other female relatives sign Ruibo and Xingyao's contracts with you."
"Also, if Great-Grandpa is helping the new emperor, why does that mean the people won't have a good life for decades, or even centuries? Explain yourself to Great-Grandpa, or he'll beat you up."
Just say it.
"An emperor cannot be too merciful, but he also cannot exterminate a group of women and children. If these women and children had a grudge against him, that would be one thing, but these women and children not only have no grudge against him, but they also became homeless because of him."
"How can someone who knows neither gratitude nor compassion be good to the people? How can they consider the people's needs?"
"You think you're doing this for the good of the people? You're just drinking poison to quench your thirst."
"If things are chaotic now, it will only be chaotic for a few years. But if this kind of person gets to sit on the throne, the people will suffer."
"Think it over carefully yourself."
"He needs your good reputation to cover up the fact that he plotted to usurp the throne. Otherwise, he won't even remember you."
"Just watch, once he's secured the throne, the first thing he'll do is wipe out the Yun family. That way, they won't be watching him every day, telling him he can't do this or that, that's not right, that's not right."
"Instead of helping this kind of person, it's better to wait for a wise ruler to appear."
"I've finished speaking, now you should think about it."
Grandpa Yun looked at Sisi and asked, "Who is this wise ruler you're talking about?"
"I don't know. But it's definitely not the new emperor or the seventh prince. Neither of them is worthy of the position in terms of character or ability. If they hadn't started fighting, they would have been in that position. Now they're just waiting for someone else to take their empire away."
"Stolen?"
"That position is so tempting, of course someone will fight for it. Do you think you can stabilize the situation by stepping forward? You're too naive. Stepping forward will only drag the Yun family down with you."
"By the way, the people who came to find you said the new emperor plans to separate you from us, one group for you and the other for us. You know what the new emperor means by that, right?"
"I know, I need you to help me cover for them."
Sisi looked at Old Master Yun and said, "What do you mean by 'covering up'? You clearly just want us to be your scapegoats. No, maybe, the moment you leave, the new emperor will kill us all and pin the blame on the Seventh Prince. Just like when he sent people to hunt down my aunt and the others."
Grandpa Yun closed his eyes briefly.
Well, the new emperor is indeed not a virtuous person.
“Go tell them I’m sick, so sick I can’t get out of bed.”
If you can't get out of bed, you can be carried there.
However, Sisi didn't plan to tell Grandpa Yun these things. Sisi just needed to make sure Grandpa Yun wouldn't go down such a stubborn path.
Sisi grasped Grandpa Yun's hand. "Great-Grandpa, chaos has broken out. You, the new emperor, and the seventh prince are all out of control. Great-Grandpa, I have to go now. Oh, and if anyone asks you if you've seen the people the new emperor sent, just say you haven't."
"...What do you want to do?"
"Not doing anything? Don't worry, I don't like killing people."
After saying that, Sisi left with Lao Hei.
When Lao Hei left, he put Twelve in Grandpa Yun's arms, saying that they would come back and take Twelve away when they were done with their work.
Grandpa Yun wanted to go and take a look.
But what good will it do to see it?
Xiao Liu won't listen to him.
Xiao Liu wasn't taking him with him when he left.
He spoiled Xiao Liu for nothing.
snort!
Starting tomorrow, he's going to be a bit harsher on Xiao Liu, so she won't think he's afraid to be harsh with her.
A little while later, Sisi and Lao Hei returned.
Grandpa Yun shoved Twelve into Sisi's arms. "Hurry up, hurry up. I want to hit you as soon as I see you. You little ingrate." He only took Twelve and not him.
Sisi gave Grandpa Yun a smile: "Grandpa, it's better to have a short pain than a long one."
After saying that, Sisi picked up Twelve and left with Old Black.
Feng Chan felt conflicted seeing Si Si return alone. She wanted to leave, but she was also reluctant to part with Old Master Yun, who had been very good to her and her daughter. "Has your great-grandfather come to his senses?"
"Um."
"Then...can you hold out? The new emperor will most likely send more people."
Sisi smiled. "I do hope he sends more people. But after two times, he'll probably be reluctant and will directly order General Niu to send troops to escort our family back to the capital."
"Then what should we do?"
"Then my great-grandfather had a stroke and became mentally unstable."
"Would he ask your great-grandfather to go?"
"No, my grandfather's portion is not enough."
“Then let’s say your great-grandfather had a stroke and is now mentally unstable.”
"I want to recruit another group of people."
"..." You little money-grubber. "Then let's wait a bit longer."
"Um."
The next day, when Grandma Yun woke up, she saw Grandpa Yun staring blankly into space.
Grandma Yun nudged Grandpa Yun. "What are you thinking about?"
"Not thinking about anything?" He wondered when this short-term pain would pass, what Xiao Liu had done to the new emperor's people, whether his decision last night was right, whether the new emperor and the seventh prince would end up with neither side able to win as Xiao Liu had said, and what the future held for the Yun family…
