Chapter 38 The Si family wants to send Qingbao away.

The Si family.

When passersby saw the white lanterns being hung up, they couldn't help but wonder what had happened.

"Could it be that General Si and the Third Young Master were murdered in the outskirts of the capital a few days ago, and the Third Young Master is dead?"

Poor Si family, just a few days ago they were celebrating General Si's triumphant return after achieving military merit, becoming the first female general of this dynasty.

Just as the Si family's daughter was beginning to enjoy her success, she lost one of her sons.

Heaven is truly blind.

Those outside who knew the situation said, "It wasn't the Third Young Master Si, it was the Second Young Master Si who died."

"Huh? The day Third Young Master Si returned, he was covered in black aura. Wasn't it said he was beyond saving? What happened? Tell me in detail!"

"When the Third Young Master Si returned from the outskirts of Beijing, he was covered in black aura, which was a great evil spirit. Later, a Taoist priest performed a ritual to anger it, and it killed the Second Young Master Si."

"So, in that case, the second young master suffered an undeserved misfortune?"

"That's right. Second Young Master Si does nothing but eat, drink, and have fun. He really died unjustly this time."

...

The people were talking about it, and some sympathized with the second young master's undeserved misfortune.

However, some people said, "Young Master Si is highly skilled in martial arts and will surely amount to something in the future. He might even become a general. The Si family lost a good-for-nothing, but the young master survived, so it's a win-win situation."

"You're a piece of trash too, why don't you just die?" A crisp, childlike voice rang out.

The person who said this looked around in bewilderment, but saw no one.

Until Qingbao hit his knee.

He looked down and met a defiant little round face. "Did you insult me?"

"Yes, I was the one who scolded you, Uncle. Aren't you also good for nothing, so why don't you just die?" Qingbao asked earnestly.

"Do you want to die? I can help you, it won't hurt."

She is very serious.

People: ...

"Where did this child come from, being so rude?"

"Even if I'm rude, I'm not like you, Uncle, who thinks that other people's deaths are a profit for your family. If that's how you make money, why don't you die and let your family make a fortune?"

Qingbao looked disdainful, her little mouth like a cannon, spewing out a barrage of words.

The people were so embarrassed that their faces turned red. They looked at him strangely from all around, and he felt so ashamed that he lowered his head and hurried away.

Qingbao rubbed her little nose with her thumb, put her hands on her stomach, and said, "Why are you running? I'll have my second uncle come back from the dead and chase you!"

The people ran even faster.

No, don't chase me!

A servant came out from inside. "Fourth Miss, Qingbao, you're back. Please come in quickly."

His gaze drifted toward the carriage, his expression inscrutable.

The fourth young lady is really accomplished; she even uses such a fine carriage.

Sihe led Qingbao inside.

As soon as Fang stepped into the Si family home, wailing and cursing erupted simultaneously, making it painful to listen to.

"It's all that jinx's fault! It wasn't enough that she killed one of my sons, she had to kill my other son too! If you don't send her away, my Zhao'er will die sooner or later!"

Madam Si was kneeling in front of Old Madam Si, crying and shouting hysterically.

In front of the mourning hall, there was a coffin, and my second uncle, Si Ye, lay inside, looking very peaceful.

However, next to the coffin, Madam Si ordered people to bring Si Zhao's sickbed over as well.

Si Zhao's face was ashen, and he was barely clinging to life; he has not yet regained consciousness.

A red light flashed in Qingbao's eyes, and she immediately understood the reason.

My third uncle's soul is incomplete; even if it's still inside his body, there's no way for him to wake up.

The Si family consulted many famous doctors, but all to no avail.

Madam Si sat upright in the main seat, her face full of sorrow, and said, "You know the reason yourself, so why do you insist on blaming Qingbao for the disaster?"

Wasn't it the third brother who accompanied Si Yao out of the city to rescue people, and that's how he brought back the evil spirit that harmed the second brother?

That night, they were just ordinary people and couldn't hear the King of Hell speaking.

Therefore, what happened was something I heard from others after I fainted and woke up.

Madam Si heard from Si Han that Qingbao later beat up the Taoist priest, which led to her third brother's death.

“Mother-in-law, you are so old, yet you have been blinded by treacherous officials. If you continue to manage the Si family, it will be doomed to ruin sooner or later!”

Madam Si stood up, angrily shouting, "Look at Ye'er, he died for no reason!"

Then, pointing at Si Zhao, he said, "Zhao'er is also beyond medical help!"

"Your son, our master, has lost ten years of his lifespan and aged ten years in an instant!"

"Why don't you go and take a look at the Su family again? Look at Old Madam Su and Mengmeng, and then look at General Su. Look how badly Qingbao has affected them!"

"I already showed her enough love by sending her to Yanzhou and sparing her life. Do you still want to leave her here?"

“Mother-in-law, think about it carefully. Did your illness, and all the things that have been happening between our Si and Su families, happen after that rebellious daughter brought Qingbao back to the capital?”

"You actually want to favor them? Hahaha, are you only satisfied when the Si family is ruined and destroyed?"

Sometimes Mrs. Si even wondered if the old lady was possessed by some kind of ghost.

Otherwise, how come the elderly who didn't care about family affairs before suddenly start meddling in everything as soon as they recover from their illness?

Even she, the matriarch of the household, was pushed to the other side.

"Qingbao is your own granddaughter. Yanzhou is thousands of miles away from the capital. Two horses would die if you went there. Do you want He'er to never see her daughter and die of grief?"

Madam Si scolded her for being heartless.

Having lived to this age, she can see through cause and effect at a glance and will not be easily swayed by the words of others.

Madam Si doesn't have her level of experience.

"Then I want to beat her to death, why won't you!" Madam Si's eyes were red, bordering on madness.

"If we kill this scoundrel, Sihe can protect her daughter for the rest of her life, right?"

At this point, she had completely lost her temper.

Madam Si was shocked. "You've really gone mad!"

Mrs. Si suddenly burst out laughing:

"Am I crazy? Hahaha, try killing two of your sons! I carried each of my children for ten months and gave birth to them. They are all very filial, except for Sihe, who is an ingrate!"

“I brought her back to enjoy a life of luxury, but she still cares about her poor adoptive parents. And her daughter is a jinx. What’s wrong with being a little harsh on them? If I don’t harden my heart, am I supposed to let her bring us all to our deaths?”

"Enough!!!" A furious shout came from outside the door.

Madam Si, enduring the stinging and throbbing in her eyes, looked towards the door and saw Si He leading that little devil to the front of the mourning hall.

She rushed towards Qingbao like a madwoman, trying to strangle her, yelling, "You wicked star, you killed my two sons! I'll kill you!"

The next instant, a pair of hands clamped down hard on her movements.

Madam Si was a woman who enjoyed a life of luxury; how could she possibly be as strong as Si He, a woman who did farm work year after year?

She was suddenly pushed away and fell heavily to the ground, letting out a wail.

"Oh dear, you rebellious daughter!"

"Mother! How are you?!" A startled cry rang out as Si Yao rushed into the mourning hall and helped Madam Si up from the ground.

She turned around angrily and questioned Si He, "You are my own daughter, how dare you push me!"

That's utterly outrageous!

Si He's biological daughter is not as filial as her adopted daughter.

No wonder everyone hates her!

"I won't let anyone hurt my daughter, not even my own mother!" Si He stood protectively in front of Qingbao, her face full of vigilance.

She knew that her daughter no longer had that powerful pen; she was just an ordinary baby.

They are no match for an adult.

“When did I ever hurt your daughter? I came in and saw you push me down. She’s old. If something happens to her, can you take responsibility?”

Si Yao stood up abruptly and raised her hand to hit Si He.

Si He showed no leniency.

Although she had no martial arts skills, she was quite strong. She grabbed Si Yao's hand and slapped her back.

Snap—

A crisp slap rang out, and Si He said:

"You can't hurt my daughter, and you can't hurt me!"
