Chapter 48 Second Uncle Protects Qingbao and Turns Against the Si Family

"What nonsense are you talking about? You are my son, how could I possibly harm you!" Madam Si's face was full of heartache.

She personally handled Si Ye's funeral arrangements, fearing that something might go wrong.

Normally, she would give Si Ye whatever he wanted.

If I didn't truly love him, how could I have let him play around until now and achieve nothing?

But now, she is heartbroken.

The son she gave birth to became a weapon used against her, and he even turned around and accused her of harming him.

How could she possibly harm him!

Qingbao baked the sweet potatoes, wrapped them in her second uncle's paper wallet, and trotted over to Sihe with her short little legs.

"Mother, one for you and one for me."

Qingbao took the smaller one and gave the larger one to her mother.

Sihe broke the large piece open, and the fragrant steam immediately filled the entire mourning hall.

She gave the baby half of the broken piece first, saying, "A little is enough for Mommy."

The mother and daughter sat on the steps, eating sweet potatoes and melons.

Amidst the sweet aroma of sweet potatoes, the Si family members erupted into conflict and argued incessantly.

Si Ye said, "No? Then who is he!"

He yanked open the coffin lid and lifted the still unconscious assassin out of the coffin.

Madam Si's eyes widened the moment she saw the assassin.

What happened? Why didn't they catch Qingbao, and instead they caught her?

"You died two days ago. You're not saying that Mother sent an assassin to kill you last night, are you? Si Ye, can't you use your brain?!"

Si Han looked at Si Ye speechlessly.

He's really a good-for-nothing. He can't do anything right, he's neither good at academics nor martial arts, and he's not even smart.

Being used as a pawn!

"My death was caused by being summoned to the underworld by Yama, the King of Hell. Last night, Qingbao used her spiritual power to come down and save me, but I never expected that this assassin would actually try to harm Qingbao and kill both of us, uncle and nephew!"

"I was so close to not coming back! I would have died forever!" Si Ye roared through gritted teeth.

He threw the assassin in his hand hard to the ground.

The assassin, still in pain from the fall, groggily opened his eyes. The moment he saw Si Ye, he yelled, "A ghost!"

"Even if he came to harm Qingbao, that doesn't prove that Mother sent him. Qingbao is her grandson, how could she possibly harm a child?" Si Han couldn't accept it no matter what.

He didn't believe that there were adults in the world who would argue with a three-year-old.

"Then ask him, ask him if he is right!" Si Ye picked up a cup of cold tea and splashed it on the assassin's face.

The assassin knelt down before Si Ye and shouted,

"Lord Ghost, please let me go. I really didn't mean to bother you. If you have something to say, go to Madam Si. She gave me the money and asked me to come."

These words were spoken.

This is a slap in the face to Si Han.

Si Han looked at Madam Si, "Mother, what's going on?"

Seeing that she could no longer hide the truth, Madam Si stepped forward and said confidently, "I didn't intend to harm Qingbao. I just had someone take her to Yanzhou!"

That place is more suitable for Qingbao, so she won't bring bad luck to the Si family.

"But Qingbao saved me! She risked her life to save me! You almost killed me just to vent your resentment towards Qingbao. I just don't understand, how could a three-year-old child offend you like that!"

Si Ye felt his head buzzing with anger; the image of Madam Si as a loving mother had completely collapsed in his mind.

He couldn't accept that his mother, who had always been so good to him, was actually this kind of person.

"Whether it's true or not that she saved you, she was the one who killed you. I think you were blinded by this evil star."

Mrs. Si clutched her chest, her eyes red-rimmed, filled with anger and heartache.

"Qingbao didn't harm me; she saved many people in our family!" Si Ye couldn't bear to hear anyone say anything bad about Qingbao now.

Even his own parents wouldn't do it.

Without Qingbao, the Si family might have truly fallen into ruin, beyond saving.

"She should do whatever it takes to save him, because this whole thing started because of her. Doesn't she have to make amends for her mistakes?"

Si Yao then came up and said indignantly.

"What do you mean, Yao'er? What did you say?" Si Han asked.

Why did so many things happen as soon as I returned from handling official business yesterday?

Si Yao smiled coldly, feeling that she was bound to win this confrontation.

"Mengmeng, you tell us the whole story about the black fog on the day we returned to the capital."

Su Mengmeng mustered her courage and came to the middle of the crowd. She looked timidly at her second uncle, eldest uncle, maternal grandmother, and great-grandmother.

"On the day Mengmeng and her father returned to the capital, they were attacked by evil spirits. Qingbao was holding this pen with supernatural powers, but she passed by and did not help them."

“My father, grandmother, and I kept begging her to let us into the circle, but she was heartless and left with Aunt Sihe.”

"That's why later, my mother took my third uncle into the black fog to save people. As a result, my third uncle was entangled, and the evil spirit returned to the Si family and harmed my second uncle."

"Mengmeng is not saying bad things about Sister Qingbao. Mengmeng is just telling the truth. She thinks that what Sister Qingbao did was really wrong and hurt so many people in the family."

After Su Mengmeng finished speaking, she lowered her head silently, not daring to look at Qingbao.

Qingbao listened without any reaction, her face covered in roasted sweet potato, which looked soft, sticky, and very sweet.

"Why don't you start from the story of Pangu creating the world?" Qingbao asked casually, chewing her food.

Si Hanguang was furious when he heard this and questioned Si He, "Is what Mengmeng said true?"

Si He: "More or less."

Anyway, the mother and daughter didn't care what they thought.

It doesn't matter.

"Second brother, did you hear that? Are you still going to protect Qingbao and blame Mother?" Si Han asked Si Ye.

Si Ye pondered for a moment, then looked at Qing Bao.

Qingbao looked at them innocently, "Keep arguing, I haven't had enough yet."

"What's all the fuss about? You're the one who caused all this trouble. It's right of me to kick you out of the Si family."

Si Yao was speechless.

Sure enough, Si Hesheng's child is just as shameless as her, and a real troublemaker.

If we can pin all the blame on Qingbao this time, then my second and third brothers will start to dote on her again.

Kick Si He and her daughter out!

Qingbao stood up abruptly. "The night the evil spirit haunted Third Uncle, Second Uncle and First Uncle were both there, right?"

The two uncles nodded.

Qingbao continued, "Why don't you think about why the evil spirit personally said to hand over Siyao?"

Si Han looked unconvinced:

"Why? Could it be that Yao'er is the murderer who killed them?"

Congratulations! You answered correctly!
