Chapter 337 The Housekeeper Wants to Go to Heaven 21
Xu Can didn't say anything and left with Lin Zhiyi in his arms.
Yun Yi shook his head, hoping that this person could escape from suffering as soon as possible.
No matter how hard they tried to conceal it, the news that the prison warden couldn't hold on and died eventually leaked out, causing a major uproar in the Si family.
The old lady showed no sign of sadness as she stood up to take charge of the situation, but her hunched body still spoke volumes.
This little old lady has been in charge for many years and has great prestige. She quickly stabilized the situation. The rest still needs to be arranged slowly.
But at this moment, Si Qing rebelled with people surnamed Lin and many of his hidden subordinates.
It cannot be said to be rebellion. People who are well-educated define this matter as restoring order. The Si family should have been controlled by the Si family, but since the woman Yao Min entered the Si family, everything has gone off track.
You don't know until you take action. Once you take action, you will find that many people around the old lady are the thorns that Si Qing has buried for many years.
When no one took this puppet old patriarch seriously, this man suddenly made a stunning move and took down the old lady with all his might.
He wants to kill his relatives for the sake of justice and rebuild the Si family.
The relationship between mother and son was already weak, and after the betrayal that year, the old lady never saw this good son again.
Si Qing excluded the Lin family and only brought his own confidants into the old lady's residence.
After many years, the two met again. The old lady ignored the gun against her head and spoke calmly.
"I was soft-hearted as a mother and let you go. Otherwise, you wouldn't be where you are today. I didn't lose to you, I lost to my own weakness as a mother. Now, do it!"
Si Qing, who was always friendly and scholarly, scoffed, "You still remember that you're a mother. Do you know how many jokes I've heard since I was a child because of you?"
"The word 'puppet' seems tailor-made for me. As a woman, you should take care of your husband and children. Why do you have to learn from men to fight for power and do everything? Why did you give birth to me?"
"I am the young master of the Si family, so I should inherit everything. Why don't you give up your power? Why do you make me a joke? Why do you treat me like this?"
After a series of questions that became louder and louder, Si Qing laughed like a psychopath.
"Do you know that even Lin Han, who grew up with me, had to leave me in the end? All this is because of my incompetence, but I am not incompetent. It's you who took away everything that should belong to me!"
The old lady's cloudy eyes moved slightly: "So... you killed him and adopted his son!"
"Hahaha, what son? Zhiyi is actually a girl."
The old lady's expression changed several times, and it was obvious that her heart was in turmoil because of this news...
Perhaps it was because decades of emotions were released all at once, Si Qing talked a lot.
He regained his elegant smile and said, "Lin Han loves his daughter very much and has always wanted to leave the Si family. After he came to see you that time, he smiled very happily. It was a smile I had never seen before."
"He said he wanted to travel around the world with his wife and daughter. He also said he would raise Zhiyi into a little princess, away from the chaos of fighting and killing, and let her find a young man who loved her and be spoiled for the rest of her life."
Si Qing spread his hands, and the smile on his face gradually became tinged with hostility.
"The future he envisioned was beautiful, but I wasn't there. Wasn't he born to be loyal to me? How could he still smile like this after betraying me? I... can't forgive him."
"I killed him in front of his wife, and I swore that I would not give his daughter that kind of peaceful life. I watched them die with grievances."
"I sheltered a little girl who was only ten years old. I watched her raise her innocent face, take the medicine I gave her, and then exchange her shortened life for a life of fighting and killing."
"Hahaha, every time I hear the name Uncle Qing, do you know how I feel?"
"Uncle Qing."
The sudden sound made Si Qing, who looked arrogant, slowly raise his head.
Standing by the handrail on the second floor were Lin Zhiyi and the unharmed prison warden, as well as Yun Yi with a complicated expression and Xu San with murderous intent in his eyes.
Si Qing's hand, which was reaching for his weapon subconsciously, was pierced by a bullet, and all his confidants behind him fell to the ground under Xu San's headshots.
The old lady wiped the blood that sprayed on her body with disgust, still sitting there without moving.
But when he saw the safe prison warden, there was still a flash of relief in his eyes.
Si Qing covered his bleeding hand and continued to laugh: "Zhi Yi, when did you doubt Uncle Qing?"
Lin Zhiyi was very calm.
"Let's start with the warden agreeing to let me investigate my parents' deaths. I thought it was the old lady who did it, and that the warden and I would eventually fall out over this, but he agreed. So, a lot of things have to be reconsidered."
"After that, I told you that I had a relationship with the warden. Your concern was so hypocritical. You knew that my body was damaged, but you kept hinting that I was pregnant with his child. I already had some suspicions at that time."
"The old lady and I had gotten to this point, she didn't need to lie to me, so if she says she didn't kill him, then it wasn't her, and I believe it."
After hearing this, the old lady snorted in contempt and was too lazy to even look at Lin Zhiyi.
Si Qing nodded in agreement and said, "So you and the prison warden set up a trap to trick me into revealing my true identity. Zhiyi... have you ever considered that this is just his way of eliminating the Lin family?"
"Today, the Lin family attacked me. The entire Si family saw it. They were labeled traitors. It would be easy for the prison warden to take advantage of this opportunity to eliminate the Lin family."
"From now on, you have no one to rely on. After all, you're a woman, and it's hard for you to accomplish anything. Mothers are rare. Have you been blinded by love?"
The prison warden said nothing, but Lin Zhiyi spoke patiently.
"Uncle Qing, you still haven't understood one thing. The old lady has held power for many years. Her excellence is undeniable, but the most important thing is that she met a man who is willing to give him everything."
The old lady's expression suddenly changed, and she grasped the wedding ring on her finger that she never took off...
"Your father loves his wife more than anything else, so the old lady rose to prominence. Of course, this is just an exception, and there are countless scumbags out there."
"I'm only saying this to make you understand that love can have its tragedies as well as happy endings. I've gone through all the ups and downs in this life, and I accept everything. I'm not being deceived."
"My father has always hoped that the Lin family could leave the Si family. As a child, I should fulfill his wish. It is my choice that the Lin family be expelled from the Si family."
Si Qing had a ridiculous look on his face.
"Without the Lin surname, how can you gain a foothold in the Si family? Si Yu is the head of the Si family. How long can he care about you?"
Lin Zhiyi smiled and said, "It won't take too long. Ten years is enough. I can only live until that time. Before that, I will keep an eye on him. Uncle Qing, you should believe that I have this ability."
The old lady and Si Qing both looked at the person who was calmly recounting the time of his death.
Lin Zhiyi lay beside the fence, feeling free and unrestrained.
"Uncle Qing, I've said everything I need to say. I'll give you the chance to do it yourself. When you go downstairs and see my parents, please tell them what I want to say."
"They just said that I had a good life. Even though it was a life full of fighting and killing, I lived according to my own will. Their daughter lived an excellent life no matter how she lived."
