Si Yi suddenly turned his head and glanced at her.
Wen Nongnong was taken aback. "What are you looking at?"
"My master had no choice but to marry you." As soon as Si Yi finished speaking, she saw her expression change and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curve slightly.
Wen Nongnong realized what was happening and pouted, "He had no choice before, but now he's so glad he married me. Otherwise, where would he find a wife as beautiful and smart as me?" She became somewhat smug as she finished speaking.
Si Yi's lips twitched. Just as she was about to say that she was shameless, a soft laugh suddenly came from behind her.
He froze, his hand resting on the sword at his waist, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
Wen Nong Nong looked in the direction from which the laughter came and saw a young man in silver armor walking towards her with his back to the light.
It wasn't until he got closer that she could see his face clearly, and she frowned in surprise, "It's you."
“It’s you.”
The two voices rang out almost simultaneously.
Wen Nongnong felt itchy all over.
This person was the strange young man she had met at the Ministry of War last time.
Just thinking about how he called out "Little Black" to the caterpillar gave her goosebumps all over.
This person is really weird. She has never seen anyone keep a caterpillar as a pet. Just thinking about it makes her feel creepy.
Si Luo glanced at Si Yi, then at Wen Nongnong, and suddenly smiled knowingly, "So you are the famous Regent's Consort. Si Luo is so disrespectful."
“Ignorance is no excuse, and I, the Princess Consort, forgive you.” Wen Nongnong said, quickly closing the window and then rubbing her arms.
Seeing this person reminds her of that experience, and it feels awful.
Moreover, Si Luo was mentioned in the original book. He was Si Lan's older brother and Gu Heng's childhood study companion. The two had a very good personal relationship, and he also served as the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard.
The Si family was loyal to the imperial power, and even more so to Gu Heng, making them staunch royalists. Later, when Gu Heng dealt with Gu Linchao, the Si family played a significant role, and in the end, the Si family's influence was always felt in Gu Linchao's demise...
In particular, Si Luo is considered Gu Heng's right-hand man.
Outside the carriage, Si Luo saw that she had closed the window, but he didn't seem to mind. He turned his gaze to Si Yi and smiled slightly. "Si Yi, your father often talks about you. If you have time, go home and visit him."
Upon hearing this, Si Yi's face showed a mocking expression, but he didn't say anything more. He got into the carriage and sat down in the driver's seat.
Seeing his unapproachable demeanor, Lü Qiao moved to the side.
Seeing that the Empress Dowager's carriage had driven away, Si Yi raised his whip and drove the carriage away.
Si Luo narrowed his eyes, watching the carriage drive away, then mounted his horse and led the Imperial Guards after it.
Wen Nongnong had just overheard what Si Luo said to Si Yi, and considering that they both shared the same surname, she immediately made a bold guess.
She opened the carriage door a crack and looked at Si Yi's retreating figure, asking, "Si Yi, who was that person just now?"
"Didn't he just say that he is Si Luo?" Si Yi's voice was very calm.
Wen Nongnong said, "I know, what I want to ask is, what is your relationship with him?"
As soon as she finished asking the question, Si Yi's back stiffened noticeably.
He remained silent for a long time.
Seeing this, Wen Nongnong felt a little guilty and said softly, "Was it wrong of me to ask? I'm sorry."
Upon hearing this, Si Yi glanced at her sideways and said indifferently, "It's really nothing." After a pause, he said self-deprecatingly, "He's just an illegitimate son who was abandoned by the Si family at birth."
