How many hidden masters are there in the Yun family?
Chengdi was very puzzled...
Since Yun Laosi had such great abilities and had contributed to the imperial court, Chengdi let go of his prejudice and reservations.
He didn't expect this young man to be so capable.
"Then I ask you, are you sincere towards Xinling?" Chengdi finally got to the point.
Upon hearing this, Yun Si Man's face turned a little red, and he slowly lowered his eyes. "I... I only regard her as a sister, so, so..."
"What did you say?" Chengdi's eyes widened, and he angrily slammed the table. "Are you that desperate for sisters?"
This damned fellow, he thought he had merits and Chengdi would consider taking him as a consort, but he spewed such nonsense.
Xiao Xitian and Xiao Jinheng outside the door were stunned for a moment, looked at each other, and wondered what their fourth brother was thinking...
She was a dignified princess, and he wanted her to be a god-sister?
This person must have water in his head.
Yun Si Man grinned foolishly, "To be honest, I am indeed desperate for sisters!~"
He only had Tian Baobao as a sister at home, which wasn't enough to spoil. If they could all be little girls, it would be so lively.
Chengdi: "..."
This Yun Laosi deserved to be single for life and never marry.
"My daughter doesn't lack brothers!~" Chengdi's face darkened. "She's also not allowed to be your sister. I'm taking her back to the capital tomorrow. Do you have anything else to say?"
If things weren't made clear, he wouldn't be able to see Xiao Xinling again in the future...
Yun Si Man was a very intelligent person, so he naturally understood the emperor's meaning.
It was just that he was rather dull when it came to emotions.
"I, I want to say that even if I'm not her brother, being a normal friend is also good!~" Yun Si Man mumbled.
Chengdi: "..."
Xiao Xitian and Xiao Jinheng: "..."
Xiao Xinling didn't lack friends either. Was she missing you?
Xiao Xitian was almost suffocated with anger, and Xiao Jinheng also looked helpless.
Yun Siman usually seemed wise and intelligent, but why was he like a donkey at crucial moments?
"I'm not listening anymore!~" Xiao Xitian casually threw the paper cup away.
Xiao Jinheng couldn't help but chuckle and whispered, "Don't worry, Fourth Brother will eventually understand..."
Xiao Xitian's little face turned red with anger, and she went straight back to the east house.
By the time he understood, it would be too late.
Chengdi was speechless to the point of exasperation with Yun Si Man.
He pointed to the door and roared angrily, "Get out! You are not allowed to see my daughter again. Get out quickly!~"
Yun Si Man: "..."
Why was he getting angry for no reason?
"Old Master Huang, I have a presumptuous request, and I hope you will grant it!~" Yun Si Man said.
Chengdi glared at him and knocked hard on his pipe, saying nothing.
"I heard you want to marry Xinling to a neighboring country. She is your own daughter. Can you bear to let her suffer and be tormented in a foreign land?" Yun Si Man pleaded. "So I hope you will find her a good family to marry into. As for the neighboring country, just... forget about it!~"
Hearing this, Chengdi's nose almost smoked. "Who I want to marry her to has nothing to do with you! Who are you to her? If you don't get out, I'll beat you!"
Yun Si Man: "..."
This old emperor's temper is really something. He's leaving.
Who knew that as soon as he pushed open the door, he saw Xiao Jinheng standing outside with his hands behind his back, glaring coldly at Yun Si Man.
"Young Master Xiao, you're back!~" Yun Si Man greeted him with a smile.
Xiao Jinheng imitated Xiao Xitian and rolled his eyes big time, then walked into the study without looking back, closing the door with a 'bang'.
Too lazy to bother with you, humph!~
Yun Si Man: "..."
Who did he offend?
At the same time, Du Tieshan rode her big white horse all the way to the steamed bun shop.
Because Yun Erman had made a scene that morning, customers were afraid to come and eat steamed buns...
Du Tieshan stood outside the door and pounded on the door. "Open the door, open the door!~"
She knew Liu Cuirong wasn't home, but Erman's face was scratched by Lu Shi. She would scratch it back for Erman the same way Lu Shi did.
A moment later, Liu Cuijin opened the door. Seeing Du Tieshan glaring at her fiercely, Liu Cuijin was startled. "Who... who are you looking for? Are you here to eat steamed buns?"
She hadn't seen Du Tieshan before and thought she was a customer.
"It's not for you to say!~" Du Tieshan pushed Liu Cuijin aside and rushed into the house.
Lu Shi was washing clothes. Erman had thrown her into the water缸 that morning, and she was still feeling cold...
Just as she put the washboard into the laundry basin, she felt a cool breeze blowing towards her.
Lu Shi's expression startled, and she looked up. She saw a woman holding a bow and arrow standing in front of her. Although she was quite pretty, what was with all this hostility?
If one didn't know, they would think the King of Hell had come to claim her soul...
"Are you Liu Cuirong's mother?" Du Tieshan asked in a deep voice.
"I, I am!~" Lu Shi stood up and wiped her wet hands on her pants.
Upon hearing this, Du Tieshan didn't say another word. She picked up an arrow, nocked it on the bowstring, and shot an arrow towards Lu Shi's ear...
With a 'whoosh', the arrow flew past her ear and then 'thud' into the door panel, the arrow tail vibrating gently.
Lu Shi took a long time to react before she started screaming, "Ah! You, you, what are you doing? Are you trying to shoot me to death?"
Liu Cuijin also picked up a cleaver and looked at Du Tieshan warily...
"I'm asking you, did you scratch Erman's face?" Du Tieshan asked, narrowing her eyes.
Lu Shi understood what was going on when she heard this.
If she guessed correctly, this should be Yun Erman's new wife.
She had scratched the woman's face until it was bloody, and the wife had come to avenge her...
"She dared to hit Cuirong in front of me!~" Lu Shi explained guiltily.
Du Tieshan sneered, "You can set fire to the official's house, but the common people can't even light a lamp? I and Erman just got married, and she came to offer condolences. Let alone hitting her, even sending her to the yamen, no one would say anything! But you, you even dared to scratch my Erman. How dare you be so bold?"
"If I sent your family a coffin and a bell, would you be willing? Erman's face was scratched by you, and if she's left with a scar, can you take responsibility?"
After her speech, Lu Shi was completely silenced...
It was true that she had done wrong, but Erman was also at fault.
Lu Shi couldn't just stand by and watch her hit her daughter!~
Just then, Yun Erman rushed in.
Seeing that his wife was unharmed, he breathed a sigh of relief. "Shanshan, let's go back!"
If a dog bites us, we can't bite it back!
"Go back for what?" Du Tieshan glared at him and extended her hand to Lu Shi. "Give me the medical expenses, half a tael of silver. If you're short even a copper coin, I'll shoot through your head!~"
Lu Shi: "..."
