Chapter 221 The Si family and Su Xiao join forces to provoke Si He
at the same time.
The Prince's Residence in the Capital.
"You mean you want me to embroider another peony painting for you? To help you get a promotion?"
Si He frowned slightly as she looked at the three people in front of her.
Her biological father was Minister Si, her biological mother was Lady Si, and her older brother was Si Han.
“Sister, you didn’t have to embroider this picture, but I went to ask Imperial Censor Song for help a while ago, and Imperial Censor Song was killed by Qingbao…”
With some hesitation, Si Han continued, "Imperial Censor Song was promoted to his position by his son's mistress using magic. If he could be promoted, why can't our family?"
"Because our family is at odds with the immortals, we have no immortal arts, only ghosts. Do you want one?" Si He asked coldly.
Although she had long seen through their true colors, she still couldn't help but feel sad when the past happened again.
The betrayal by her adoptive parents and the oppression by her biological parents still suffocate her when she thinks about it.
"How could you speak to your elder brother like that? He'er, you are our only daughter now, a Lady of Imperial Decree, and even the birth mother of a Princess. What more could you possibly want? Do you really want us to die here before you'll help the Si family?"
Mrs. Si's face was full of heartache.
She knew she had spoiled Si Yao too much in the past, but wasn't Si Yao dead now?
She only has one daughter, Si He.
If Si He is willing to come back and help the Si family, they will love her very much and make up for the suffering she has endured for more than 20 years.
"You should be grateful that I didn't ask His Majesty to dismiss you from your posts. You actually want my help? Who do you think you are!"
Since Sihe awakened her spiritual consciousness, her temper has become much worse.
But she didn't feel uncomfortable; in fact, she felt a little comfortable.
Perhaps, this is her true nature.
It's just that after being bullied for so long, their natural instincts have been worn down and suppressed for a long time.
"You, you unfilial daughter! You're our own daughter! You won't even help with this little thing. I'll teach you a lesson!"
Just as Si Shilang raised his hand, preparing to slap Si He across the face.
The next moment.
The guards in the princess's mansion kicked him to the ground.
The guard said coldly, "You dare touch the person His Highness the Crown Prince is protecting? Get out of here!"
Several people came up and drove them away.
Si He turned around, tacitly approving of all this.
"Don't come looking for me anymore. We're no longer on the same path."
As he was being held down, Si Shilang struggled and cursed, "Do you think I wanted to come looking for you? You know perfectly well what you took from the Si family. You wanted the benefits, but now you want to cut ties? There's no such thing as a free lunch."
As he spoke, he became so angry that his face turned red. He was then helped up and lifted up by others, looking like a clown.
Si He turned her head, her face icy cold.
"What did I take?"
"Stop pretending to be stupid. Did you get a share of Grandmother's dowry?" Si Han's tone was cold, but he finally couldn't hold back and blurted it out.
"I need to pull strings now, but you refuse to embroider the peony painting, and Grandmother refuses to give me the money. You're driving my Si family to our doom!"
Si Han has been a minor official for too long. If he doesn't find a way to get promoted, he'll probably have no future.
He has two younger brothers, one a good-for-nothing and the other who only wants to play.
The Si family can only rely on Si Han to hold them together!
However, he overheard that most of his grandmother's dowry was given to Si He!
They actually gave it to Si He!!!
His anger was almost bursting from his eyes, and he questioned again.
"You can sever ties if you want, but hand over your grandmother's dowry!"
Si He waved his hand.
The guards understood and immediately threw the three of them out of the princess's mansion.
Si He said matter-of-factly, "That's compensation for the twenty years of hardship I've endured; I deserve it!"
"You, you shameless person!" Madam Si cursed, "You have never been filial to your grandmother, how dare you take her dowry!"
"Qingbao and I saved her life, how can she not deserve it?" Si He's expression was cold and sharp. "Get out of here, I have no obligation to explain to you!"
That's all.
She turned and went inside.
Then they heard someone rushing over.
"It's terrible, Madam! Something's happened in Lord Fu Tu's room!"
Si He suddenly realized something, turned her head, and looked at the three members of the Si family.
"Are you all tired of living?! How dare you lay a hand on him?"
A faint aura of resentment emanated from his body.
Madam Si stood up with a smile, "Su Xiao should have succeeded by now!"
As he spoke.
Su Xiao appeared before everyone, dressed in flowing white robes, exuding an air of otherworldly grace.
In his hand, he held a wisp of black energy, imbued with the aura of Fu Tu.
"Si He, hand over your grandmother's dowry, and we'll release this ghost!" The Si family had always known this.
Fu Tu was helping the mother and daughter.
So when Su Xiao found the Si family and told them that Fu Tu had an accident and Qing Bao had fainted, they joined forces and orchestrated this scheme.
For Su Xiao, a cultivator, avoiding mortals was the easiest thing in the world.
The three members of the Si family were tasked with attracting Si He's attention.
Su Xiao succeeded, holding in his hand the consciousness that Fu Tu had painstakingly gathered.
That was something Qingbao painstakingly earned through her cultivation!
Si He's eyes were faintly red as she looked at Su Xiao, "You dare to touch him and see what happens!"
The black aura around him was faintly visible, and no one noticed anything unusual.
"Sihe, I just want to prove that I am capable now, no less than this vengeful ghost. If you can come back to my side, I will drive this ghost back to the River of Oblivion!"
During the last major battle to eliminate Qingxuan, Su Xiao was imprisoned and therefore unaware of Si He's identity.
He thought that his former wife was still that ordinary person with nowhere to go.
If you can exploit her weaknesses, you can make her obedient and never resist again.
"Si He, return the dowry!" the Si family pressured her.
"Sihe, come back to me, let's go back to how things were before!" Su Xiao said condescendingly.
The black energy in his hand and the words of the Si family members were constantly stimulating Si He's consciousness.
finally.
She clenched her fists, her white clothes turned black, and the resentment around her spread out, knocking everyone around her to the ground and spitting out a mouthful of blood.
The Si family members looked at each other, confused and bewildered.
Only Su Xiao swallowed hard.
"Sihe, why do you have... resentment on you..."
She walked slowly, step by step, until she came to him.
Without breaking a sweat, he lifted Su Xiao up with one hand. "A mere Foundation Establishment cultivator dares to be so insolent in front of me!"
With her other hand outstretched, Fu Tu's consciousness obediently came into her palm.
Si He gently tucked her senior brother's consciousness into her bosom.
When he looked at Su Xiao again, his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Su Xiao trembled involuntarily, somewhat terrified, "You, you're not Si He, who are you... who are you?"
How could he not recognize his childhood sweetheart ex-wife?
Si He had never seen such a cold, murderous, and resentful look in her eyes.
Her hatred ran so deep that it seemed she wanted to kill everyone to vent her anger.
“I am Si He, but you have touched people you shouldn’t have, so Su Xiao, you can die now.”
