Chapter 416: It takes time to see people’s hearts
"Let me go. It was Dad who asked us to go back. I don't care what you do. You slept with other men and embarrassed my father. It's good enough that I didn't sell you out. Why are you still hesitating here?" Si Chengyi flicked his sleeves hard and threw Wang Qiuhuo a few steps away.
"I was wronged. It was Li Xiaoxiao who framed me." Seeing Si Chengyi say this, Wang Qiuhuo was so angry that she almost vomited blood.
It's bad enough that others wronged her, but her son didn't even believe her. I really wanted to piss her off to death.
"You deserve to be wronged. It's your fault that you are so useless. You can't deal with others but you come to my house to make trouble. Don't you deserve it?" Si Chengren also joined in. He was mainly worried about the one thousand taels of silver. She was so stupid that she was not worthy of being his mother.
"I am trying to avenge you. Do you have any conscience?" Wang Qiuhuo screamed and cried, tears streaming down her face. If her son left, she would have no hope of leaving in the future.
"Okay, stop talking so nicely, as if we owe you something. Considering our mother-son relationship, I'll give you these two taels of silver. Take care of yourself from now on." Si Chengren took out two taels of silver from his arms and handed it to Wang Qiuhuo as if giving alms.
Looking at the small change in his hand, Wang Qiuhuo felt it was ironic. They were mother and son, but he only gave her two taels of silver when they parted.
"Don't say that you raised us. Everything we ate and used since we were young was from the Marquis' Mansion. It has nothing to do with you. Don't try to establish a relationship with us here." Looking at her expression, Si Chengren guessed what she wanted to say.
A divorced woman is not worthy of talking to them anymore. When she returns to the capital, they are still the young masters of the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion. She should be thankful that they can give her two taels of silver.
"You, you guys..." Wang Qiuhuo felt like she was hearing a fairy tale. For so many years, what the hell had she raised?
It is said that a friend in need is a friend indeed, and time reveals a person's true character. She finally realized that if even her own son couldn't help her, who could she count on?
Her heart felt cold, and she thought as if she had never given birth to them. The two taels of silver in Si Chengren's hand seemed like a bunch of mocking faces, laughing at her.
Wang Qiuhuo slapped his hands hard, and all the silver coins in his hand fell to the ground. There were people watching the fun on the road, and when they saw the silver flying over, they hurriedly grabbed it. In a few moments, those who had grabbed the silver ran away.
Si Chengren snorted coldly. He had given the money anyway, so he didn't care who got it. He gave Si Chengyi a wink, and the two of them got on the carriage together.
The coachman bowed to Wang Qiuhuo, then drove away in the carriage, leaving Wang Qiuhuo standing there alone.
The two were eager to return home and did not stop along the way. Four days later, they finally arrived outside the capital. Looking at the two big words on the city wall, Si Chengren and Si Chengyi were in good mood.
After being away for so long, they finally came back.
Seeing them come back, Si Wei Zhong's mood improved a lot. He told them everything that happened after they left, Li Xiaoxiao's business and her engagement with Cheng Kun.
"Dad, why do you have a headache? Have you asked a doctor to come and see you?" Si Chengren became more cautious after his visit to the farm. Si Wei Zhong has two sons, so they must behave better in the future to get more benefits.
"I consulted a doctor, and he said that it was just because I was too anxious, and there was nothing else wrong." Si Wei Zhong not only consulted a doctor, he also visited an imperial physician, and they all gave the same answer, so he also thought that was the case and did not think about it in any other way.
"Dad, I was ignorant before and hurt you. Don't worry, I'm grown up now and will help you solve your problems in the future." Si Chengren patted his hand gently, his tone steady and serious, and he spoke in a serious manner.
"Okay, I learned a lot from my trip to Chengyang County. I will have someone to succeed me in the future." Si Wei Zhong is very wary of everyone.
The only thing he did was to believe his two sons. He could change his wife at any time, but his sons were his, so why shouldn’t he believe in them?
"Dad, are you going to hand over the shop to us? Don't worry, we will manage it in an orderly manner." Seeing Si Chengren being praised, Si Chengyi couldn't help himself.
But to others, his words meant that he was asking for something, which was completely different from Si Chengren's meaning.
"I can still do the job, I don't need you." When Si Wei Zhong heard this, he immediately felt disgusted. Did the second brother want his money? He was not dead yet?
Si Chengren listened to them calmly, with a smile on his face: "Dad, you are young and strong, please don't hand these things over to me. I can't manage them. I still have a lot to learn from you."
Si Wei Zhong liked to hear this, and the balance in his heart unconsciously moved towards Si Cheng Ren.
"Dad, that's what I meant. You misunderstood me." Si Chengyi realized that he seemed to have said something wrong, and quickly apologized, trying to make amends.
"Okay, you two brothers have been tired from the journey, so go back and rest quickly. We can talk later." After saying this, Si Wei Zhong felt a slight headache again.
"Okay, then I'll go back first." Si Chengyi stretched and felt really tired.
Only Si Chengren was left, and he came silently behind Si Weizhong. Then he put his hands on his temples and gently massaged him.
Noticing Si Chengren's actions, Si Wei Zhong said nothing. He closed his eyes and enjoyed the service from his son. After this trip, the eldest son has really grown up and knows how to care for others. As for the second son, well, it's better not to mention him.
Having been in Chengyang County for such a long time, he had been missing his group of friends for a long time. The next day, he held a banquet at Yuelai Restaurant and invited many people, including Cheng Kun.
In fact, Cheng Kun and them were just nodding acquaintances. Since Si Wei Zhong was of a lower rank, he looked down on the two of them.
But today is different from the past. Because he is engaged to Li Xiaoxiao, he came here out of love for the person and his family.
Si Chengren hadn't expected him to come, so he quickly found the best seat for him and put him high up. They toasted each other and the atmosphere was very joyful.
"Congratulations, Mr. Cheng, you are about to marry your beautiful cousin. She is as pretty as a flower. Brother Cheng is so lucky." Si Chengren brought a wine glass and toasted him.
"The little guy is indeed good-looking and has a likable personality. Thank you for the grace of the emperor." Cheng Kun had almost finished drinking and burped several times in succession.
"Brother Cheng is absolutely right. I heard that the wedding date hasn't been set yet. My cousin is too beautiful, so it's better to set it early." Si Chengren's eyes rolled and a plan came to his mind.
