Chapter 124 The Si family and Su Xiao failed to achieve their goal.

Su Xiao frowned and turned his head, "Qingbao, what are you up to now!"

This is her grandmother's mourning hall. How can she accept the kneeling of Minister Li and his wife on behalf of the deceased?

Qingbao stood in front of the mourning hall, her little face round but very serious.

"You're being long-winded."

Su Xiao: ...

"General Su, please step aside!" Minister Li stood up with his wife, pushed Su Xiao aside, and walked towards Qingbao.

Su Xiao was pushed, and he was already heartbroken. He was also filled with anger.

"General Su," Si Han said, reminding him not to act impulsively.

The other party was a high-ranking official, the direct superior of the Si family father and son in the officialdom.

If the Su family offends them, the Si family's lifeline will also be destroyed. It's not worth getting angry over something like this.

Su Xiao could only endure it.

They followed them to Sihe's courtyard.

"Wait." Si He turned around and looked at them coldly.

After Minister Li and his wife, along with Qingbao, went inside...

Si He told someone to close the door.

Bang--

They kept Madam Si, Si Han, Su Mengxue, and Su Xiao and his daughter outside the courtyard gate.

The ones who closed the door for her were Zhu Da and Wang Shi, who had finally avenged their great grudge.

"Brother, why don't you divorce her? Look how arrogant she is, actually letting my mother-in-law beat me!"

Su Mengxue's face was still red, and she looked aggrieved.

She had been married into the Li family for three years, and even though she had not given birth to any children, her mother-in-law had never expressed any dissatisfaction with her.

This is the first time I've hit her, and it happened in front of our relatives!

How will she be able to put on airs in front of her relatives and family members in the future?

"What, does my mother need Si He's permission to hit you?" a deep male voice appeared.

Turning around, I saw it was Li Shaoyue.

Li Shaoqian quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "She was just saying things in anger."

The Li Shaoyue before me is the legitimate son.

Although Li Shaoqian was the older brother, he couldn't afford to offend Li Shaoyue.

Li Shaoyue looked displeased. "Then I'll trouble you, brother, to keep your wife in check and stop her from making false accusations all the time."

His mother did nothing wrong.

These people's true colors are truly terrifying.

Li Shaoqian's attitude was terrifyingly cold. "Su Mengxue, stand back here."

Su Mengxue bit her lip and stepped back behind him.

Her husband was always like that, unpredictable, sometimes nice and sometimes bad to her.

Sometimes she even suspected that he was two different people.

In the courtyard.

“Our Li family has had many descendants for generations. Although I only have one son, Shao Yue, my master’s concubines and mistresses have been able to continue to have more children.”

"Now, Shao Yue's generation has a total of eight children."

Madam Li sat beside Qingbao, her eyes filled with sorrow.

Si He was puzzled. "Isn't this a good thing? Why are you looking so worried?"

Qingbao: "Go on."

Minister Li continued, "However, Shao Yue has never had a child."

The Li family, they don't know what curse they suffered, is destined to die out in this generation.

"Of the eight children, five are married, and some have even taken three concubines, yet none of them have conceived," Madam Li added.

"The earliest couple to get married has been married for three years..."

In three years, he had four sons and dozens of concubines, yet none of them became pregnant or gave birth.

This is really strange.

"The second son and his wife were pregnant, but two days ago, for some unknown reason, she suddenly miscarried..."

Mrs. Li said worriedly:

"The Taoist priest and the doctor both came to take a look and said that our Li family is cursed by evil spirits."

"Yesterday, when His Majesty and I came to the Su family, we discovered that Qingbao is incredibly powerful and can command evil spirits and souls. So my wife and I discussed it and decided to come and visit her. We wanted to ask Qingbao to go to the Li family and see if she could summon the evil spirits and resolve their resentment."

Minister Li replied sincerely, "Name your terms."

Si He looked at Qing Bao.

Qingbao, however, had a brooding look in her eyes and was sitting in her seat swinging her legs.

Her voice was clear and crisp. "You must return Su Mengxue's wedding dress to my mother before there is any room for discussion on this matter."

The couple exchanged a glance.

"The wedding dress has been prepared at the manor. Please, Madam Sihe and Princess Qingbao, go to the Li family to collect it!"

—Two old foxes.

Outside the courtyard gate.

"I think we should just let this matter drop," Si Han said, discussing the adoption of Su Mengmeng with the others.

Su Mengmeng looked aggrieved. "Uncle, is Mengmeng really that annoying?"

Madam Si gently comforted her, "It's not that Mengmeng is annoying, but Si He is really hard to talk to. Before, when she had no one to back her up, we could force her to have some influence, but even when she was suppressed, she was still unconvinced..."

"Not to mention that she now has someone backing her up, and the other party is still holding the Si family's political career in their hands."

Therefore, for the sake of the Si family, Madam Si and Si Han decided to withdraw from this situation.

Su Mengmeng is being taken care of by Su Xiao, so she can live a good life, right?

Why insist on calling her Sihe Niang? It's too easy for her.

Su Mengmeng's eyes filled with tears as she looked at Su Mengxue.

Su Mengxue turned her head and said, "Mengmeng, your aunt did her best."

Her father-in-law had just spoken, saying that if she still wanted to interfere in this matter, Su Mengmeng would be raised by him.

She doesn't even have her own children yet, how can she raise someone else's child?

Su Xiao felt a tightness in his chest and his voice was hoarse. "I won't separate from Si He anyway. We're a family living together. How could I possibly make Mengmeng suffer?"

Both are his daughters, and the title of "mother" doesn't matter much.

It's not too late to call Sihe "Mom" after she gradually accepts Mengmeng.

The three families parted on bad terms.

But Su Xiao still felt a lot of resentment stuck in his heart, with nowhere to vent it.

Qingbao accompanied the Minister and his wife to the Li family.

A flash of red light appeared in his large eyes, revealing a glimpse of cause and effect.

"Father, this is..." Li Shaoming, the second son of the Li family, led everyone out to greet them.

Minister Li said to them, "This is Princess Qingbao, personally appointed by the Emperor. I think she can resolve our family's affairs."

He originally wanted to say that Qingbao was the Emperor Emeritus's sister, but that would be too exaggerated and no one would believe it.

Su Mengxue looked disdainful and whispered to the crowd,

"Just listen to it, don't get your hopes up."

"Shut up! My wife said that if you hadn't pushed her that day, she wouldn't have miscarried!" Li Shaoming's attitude towards Su Mengxue was very bad.

Su Mengxue frowned. "I told you, I didn't push her! That didn't even count as pushing!"

She looked at her husband, "Husband, please say something for me! You were there too!"

Li Shaoqian remained silent.

Li Shaoming sneered, "Hmph, sister-in-law, you and your husband are just jealous of us, afraid that we will give birth to the first child of the Li family, so you did this to my wife!"

"Father, is there any need to investigate this? It was that poisonous woman, Su Mengxue, who did it!" Li Shaoming's eyes were bloodshot.

In the Li family's generation, the first couple to get married were Su Mengxue and her husband, but they didn't have any children.

She certainly wouldn't let her younger siblings give birth to her first child.

"Shut up!" Minister Li snapped, stopping their argument. "The real reason isn't here."

The root cause is that the Li family line died out without cause.

Madam Li said with a stern face, "I have investigated this matter. A maid said that Mengxue's hand did not touch her at all."

Qingbao raised an eyebrow and tilted her head. "How do you know you didn't bump into her?"

Madam Li fell silent.

"Second Young Master, how is the matter? Just ask your wife over." Qingbao said to Li Shaoming.

Li Shaoming nodded, then turned and ran to call for help.

Li Shaoyue stood beside Qingbao and whispered, "Qingbao, do you really know?"

Qingbao shook her head. "I don't know."

She just wanted to see if the second young mistress had any dark aura.

Su Mengxue secretly breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Qingbao's answer.
