Chapter 290: An Old Lady Makes Trouble 10
Qi Qingyao was sitting in the hall; she was busy embroidering the purse all by herself while the three little ones surrounded her. Qi Qingyao had already finished embroidering a koi-thed purse. However, the three little guys were not fighting for it amongst themselves. Their faces full of excitent and joy, they took turns examining the small purse over and over.
anwhile, Si Jin was playing chess with Jiang Yeqian at the side. Jiang Yeqian was frowning. Analyzing the chaotic situation on the chessboard, he found himself feeling extrely perplexed about Si Jin, who was sitting opposite him.
An hour ago, Si Jin knew nothing about chess; he relied on Jiang Yeqian’s guidance as he learned the rules of chess. An hour later during their third ga, his chess skills had improved by leaps and bounds. However, there was no recognizable trick or pattern in the way he played; yet he was able to win every match.
This made Jiang Yeqian scrunch up his brows tightly.
His chess skills should be ranked in the top three of everyone in the Zhaixing Administration.
However, he ended up losing to Si Jin, who had only just started learning how to play chess…
This was so embarrassing!
Shortly later, Steward Zhang ca to report for a second ti.
“My lady, there is sobody here again.”
“…?”
Qi Qingyao turned her head and glanced at Steward Zhang. She continued the needlework in her hands. Taking a glance at Si Jin, she gave more instructions.
“Si Jin, stick to our agreent from before. Go out to have a look again.”
“Do I still have to pretend to be you?” Si Jin seed to be reluctant to wear won’s clothing. Qi Qingyao’s clothes were too tight and were uncomfortable.
Qi Qingyao’s nodded. “Yeah.”
Seeing Qi Qingyao’s expectant look, Si Jin beca more serious again. Confronted with her trust in him, he proceeded with all his vigor. He put on the light purple brocade robe once again, fixed his hair, and walked toward the exit. Once he opened the door, he saw a man at the doorway. There were also several other n standing beside the wall diagonally across the road. They set their gaze on the doorway from ti to ti. They were clearly there to monitor the situation.
Recalling Qi Qingyao’s usual movents, Si Jin shrugged his shoulders indifferently.
As the man at the door saw this tall… beautiful lady, his eyes glistened right away. “You are Qi Qingyao.”
“And you are here for…” Si Jin said, while thinking to himself, ‘Maybe this ti they’re not here to claim kinship.’
However, that train of thought turned out to be an imdiate slap in the face.
The plainly dressed middle-aged man who had a face full of acne unexpectedly grinned and said shalessly, “I am the father of your children. I’m here to claim kinship.”
“Claim kinship?” ‘You want to claim kinship with that kind of look?’ Not even knowing where to begin, Si Jin blankly asked, “Are you sure you’re at the right door?”
The man looked at Si Jin lewdly and he smiled lustfully. “I’m sure. You’re Lady Qi. I am the father of your children!!”
‘The father of my children…’ These words made Si Jin nauseous. What was even more revolting was that this person claid to be the father of Qi Qingyao’s children. Golden light flickered from his eyes.
The man deliberately got closer and said, “If you are my wife, then according to our relationship, I should also have my share for this mansion.”
Si Jin asked, “Are you sure you know ?”
The man hamred his chest and began to say, “Four years ago, I slept with Qi Qingyao…” He even went on to describe the situation at the ti.
Listening to his nonsense, the golden glimr under Si Jin’s eyes surged like a storm.
Then he turned around and walked back toward the door.
At the sa ti, he ordered Steward Zhang, “Steward Zhang, bring him in. I will personally have a chat with him inside the house.”
After that, Si Jin went to a vacant room in the building opposite the main that was situated past the gate. Steward Zhang led the man in with a look of confusion. He was thinking, ‘How could this man be the biological father of the young mistress’s children?’ It was obvious that this person had been sent by so forces from Qingzhou City to disgust her.
However, Si Jin had been sent by the young mistress to deal with this matter.
Therefore, Steward Zhang dared not speak up his doubts.
He could only obey his instructions, taking the person to the vacant room.
Si Jin stood at the door. He then closed the door with a stoic expression, isolating Steward Zhang from the room.
Steward Zhang stood by the door, listening to the movents inside. However, there was no sound except for the sound of a ‘thump’ as sothing hit the ground.
Steward Zhang was shocked.
Three seconds later, the door opened.
Si Jin walked out with the sa cold expression.
He closed the door again.
Steward Zhang stamred, “Qi… master…” ‘Where is that person just now? Why do I hear no one speaking? Why did Si Jin walk out alone?’
Si Jin did not reply, and Steward Zhang dared not ask anything about it.
Soone knocked on the main door again.
Steward Zhang hurried over to answer. After answering the door, he turned and looked at Si Jin with a speechless expression.
Si Jin said, “There’s another one?”
He was not annoyed. He imdiately turned around and entered the room again. Then, a faint voice ca from the room, “Steward Zhang, if there’s anyone here to claim kinship again, bring them directly into the room.”
“Alright, master.”
Just like that, this new person was also led into the room. As the room was in the building opposite the main one, it was situated in the south while facing north, so it was a little dark and the lighting was poor. It was almost impossible to see what was happening inside from the outside.
After this person was pushed into the room, the door closed again eerily.
Still, there was no sound in the room.
Before long, the third person ca to claim kinship.
Steward Zhang led the people inside according to Si Jin’s order.
Without so much as a pause, more than a dozen people ca one after another. They were all here to claim kinship.
Steward Zhang was a little speechless.
He also understood that these people had been specially instructed to make the young mistress feel repulsed.
After he led the final person into the room, no one knocked on the door anymore after 10 minutes of waiting.
After waiting another 10 minutes, Si Jin finally walked out of the room.
His clothes were still very clean. Even though he was dressed in won’s clothing and had a small hair bun, his expression was noble, as if he was an elegant young man.
He was wearing a bland expression.
It was hard to figure out what he was thinking.
Si Jin asked, “Is there anyone else out there who ca to claim kinship?”
Steward Zhang swallowed his saliva and spoke very nervously, “There’s no more.”
“Very well.” Si Jin pointed to the room behind him. “Don’t enter this room for the ti being. If soone asks, tell them that the guests have left through the back door.”
“O—okay, master.” Steward Zhang’s back was covered in cold sweat, and he did not even dare to look at the silhouette of Si Jin’s back.
He knew exactly what had happened to those n who had deliberately co to cause trouble…
Si Jin did not allow anyone to enter, and he did not enter the room either so that he would not witness sothing that would render him sleepless at night.
Si Jin went searching for Jiang Yeqian directly, who he found daydreaming by the pond.
“Jiang Bai, don’t you know the corpse collector? Help get soone over and tidy up the room by the gate. There is a lot of garbage.”
Jiang Yeqian, “…” ‘What did he do this ti?’
He went to the building opposite the main one to check it out first. Steward Zhang did not stop him.
Steward Zhang knew the importance of Ox-head to the young mistress. That was why he did not stop him.
Jiang Yeqian went in and took a look. Then he walked out of the room and left the place.
…
Qi Boli discussed things over with Madam Wu; despite the heavy snowfall, they packed their luggage and prepared to go on a long trip.
Qi Yuanxiu and his wife, Madam Liang, were flabbergasted by their actions.
They asked hurriedly, “Dad, mom, where are you two going, packing up so elaborately?” ‘Could it be that they are actually going to Qingzhou City to look for Qi Qingyao to talk about the building in the village? That must be it. With mom’s snobby attitude, she wouldn’t give up on this opportunity.’
Madam Wu frowned and said nothing.
Qi Boli glared at Qi Yuanxiu. “You don’t need to bother about where we’re going. Just take care of the baby at ho! Your mother and I will be back in three days.”
