Upon hearing this, Yun Qingying quickly said, "Don't talk nonsense. Be careful your sixth cousin hears you. Mother knows who your great-grandfather, your grandfather, and your uncle are. With their character and abilities, it's impossible for them to still have carriages to ride in after being exiled."
“Your father doesn’t want us anymore. From now on, we can only rely on your third aunt and your sixth cousin. You must listen to your third aunt and your sixth cousin.”
"Also, go apologize to your great-grandfather. He must be feeling very bad about what you said."
"Your sixth cousin is right. Half of your life was given to you by the Yun family. When the Yun family prospers, you benefit from it; when the Yun family falls on hard times, you can't escape it either."
Grandpa Yun was thinking that the Seventh Prince was indeed incompetent, not even sparing a few women and children, and that Sun Xingyao had come over. "Great-Grandfather, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that just now."
Grandpa Yun touched Sun Xingyao's face. "Does it hurt?"
pain!
I don't know how that little girl is so strong?
"It doesn't hurt."
"Don't blame your sixth cousin. Your sixth cousin believes that the more difficult the times, the less we should blame each other, and the more we should stick together. That's why she hit you and scared you."
Sun Xingyao felt that Sisi wasn't just trying to scare him. "I know, I don't blame my sixth cousin. Great-grandfather, how come my sixth cousin is so amazing?"
"Your sixth cousin has a powerful master, so don't go against her. Your sixth cousin is still young and doesn't know how to handle things. If she hurts your great-grandfather, even he won't be able to do anything about it."
Sun Xingyao couldn't help but recall the time Sisi had slapped his face with a knife. If Sisi's hand had trembled even slightly, he would have been disfigured. "I know, I'll let my sixth cousin have her way; I'm older than her."
"Hmm. How are your studies going? Although we have been exiled by the Emperor, we cannot give up on ourselves."
"I...I haven't been reading lately."
"That won't do. Go and call your maternal grandfathers and uncles over."
"good."
After Sun Xingyao called over Master Yun and Yun Yuqi, Old Master Yun told them to teach the children in the family to read.
After saying that, Grandpa Yun called all the children in the family over and told them to study with Yun Yuqi and the others.
Including Sisi.
However, Sisi was taught by him.
The other children were divided into several groups according to age and taught by Master Yun and his group.
"Did you all hear that clearly?"
Master Yun and Sun Xingyao both said they heard it clearly.
Sisi looked at Grandpa Yun and said, "You should learn some martial arts too. Otherwise, you'll need someone else to save you if you encounter bandits. Also, we're going to the border, where war can break out at any time."
"You're right, learn."
“My dad and the others have to learn too. If a war breaks out, they will definitely be taken away to be the shields.”
Yun Yuqi and her generation: "..." What a jinx!
"Okay, your dad and the others will learn too. Is there anything else?"
"What should we do with my aunt's servants? Should we return their indentures and give them some money to settle down, or should we let their children study literature and martial arts with us?"
"It's up to them. Anything else?"
"It's gone."
On one side is freedom, on the other is the ever-present threat of war and the constant possibility of death...
Compared to studying and practicing martial arts, life is more important.
So everyone chose freedom.
Sisi gave each of them thirty taels of silver, including the children. After giving them the money, she asked them where they wanted to go.
They were all born into the Yun family and grew up in the capital. They all said they wanted to return to the capital.
Firstly, they were familiar with the capital city.
Secondly, they wanted to go back and find out where their parents and siblings had been sold.
After the Yun family was exiled, all of their servants were to be sold off. However, no matter where they were sold, they were all sold from the capital. Therefore, if they wanted to inquire about anything, they would have to return to the capital.
After Lao Hei returned carrying the wild boar, Sisi treated them to a meal of roasted pork and then let them go. When they left, she even hired ten bodyguards for them.
Watching from the side, Gao Pengcheng thought Sisi was truly kind and generous! "Sixth Miss, why are you so good to them?"
Sisi gave Gao Pengcheng a smile. "I'm very good to you too, just wait for my dividends."
Gao Pengcheng scratched his head. "I'm sorry about earlier, I shouldn't have yelled at you."
“It’s alright. I’m also furious to see that Old Hei brought back a bunch of people. Do you want to learn a few tricks from Old Hei? Even though you’re government officials, government officials aren’t without danger.”
They were all under Gao Pengcheng's command throughout the journey. Keeping Gao Pengcheng in check would only benefit them, not harm them. Besides, Gao Pengcheng's character was decent.
Gao Pengcheng was delighted to hear this. "I want to learn, I want to learn. Little Six, you're so kind to us."
Sisi looked at him and said, "You've been very good to us. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have a clean house to live in every day."
After exchanging a few more words, the two happily set off.
That evening, Gao Pengcheng found a way to get the post station staff to arrange several nice rooms for Sisi and the others.
Feng Chan found an opportunity to call Sisi aside. "Daughter, why did you send those servants away?"
Sisi held up one finger. "First, although they are servants, they don't have much work to do on a daily basis, and they won't be of much help even if they go to the border."
Then, Sisi held up another finger. "Second, if they were here, my aunt and Sun Xingyao would still think they were still ladies, still children of officials. If they were gone, my aunt and Sun Xingyao would be completely awake and would finally see reality."
Then, Sisi held up another finger. "Third, the money I spent bringing them to the border was far more than the money I spent buying people there. And the people I bought were more capable and knew more about the border than they did."
After saying that, Sisi held up another finger. "Fourth, not only were they grateful to me for letting them go, but Gao Pengcheng and the others also thought I was a good person, a really good person."
Feng Chan no longer felt sorry for her.
Feng Chan felt heartbroken seeing Si Si giving money to the servants.
"I knew it! Why did you give them money for nothing? They're not even our people. Come on, let's go eat."
"Okay." Sisi glanced at the corner of the wall before leaving.
Sun Xingyao only emerged from the shadows in the corner after Fengchan and Sisi had disappeared from sight.
Just now, when Sisi looked towards the corner of the wall, Sun Xingyao was almost scared to death. He thought Sisi had discovered him.
Sun Xingyao touched his ears, then his arms and legs.
I breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that everything was still there. Whew... Time to eat, time to eat.
After finishing his meal, Sun Xingyao wanted to go rest. But as soon as he turned the corner, he saw Sisi.
Sisi was still holding Twelve.
Sun Xingyao's eyelids twitched. "Hello, Sixth Cousin."
Sisi gave Sun Xingyao a smile. "Hello, cousin! Did you like 'Secret'?"
Oh no! "Sixth...Sixth Cousin, I didn't mean to."
Sisi held Twelve's little hand and shook it. "But you've already listened."
“…” Sun Xingyao remembered what his mother had told him: why was Sisi so good to Twelve?
