After a bland breakfast, Yu Jinbu and Wang Meixia headed out as usual. Although it was the weekend, the couple each had things to do.
"We're heading out now. You can do whatever you want at home. Yu Xin, don't wander off. Your dad has things to do, and I have an appointment with my colleagues. Get your food from the cafeteria."
After giving her instructions, Wang Meixia left. Once outside, the couple got into their car together. The two sisters, who saw through each other's schemes but didn't say anything, sat opposite a brother and sister with identical expressions.
"Why don't you two go for a walk now?"
Yu Lian looked at her feet: "Do you think this is appropriate?"
"Haha, I'm not saying anything now. But Mom and Dad are gone, and the atmosphere here is so strange, it's making me feel uncomfortable. If it weren't for... if it weren't for me, I would have run away. Who wants to stay with you two mute people?"
The words were harsh, but they were the truth, and no one disagreed. Yu Lian thought for a moment and made up her mind. However, someone beat her to it.
"Please leave for ten minutes, we need to talk."
He Lin stood up and looked at his two younger sisters. Yu Xin pulled He Xinglan out of the house and thoughtfully closed the door behind them. Originally, He Xinglan wanted to eavesdrop, but seeing the closed door, she tried to go around to the window, but Yu Xin stopped her.
"Why are you leaving? You can listen here."
She pointed to the door and cautiously pushed it open a crack. It turned out she had tampered with it when closing it; the door hadn't actually closed. The two could clearly hear sounds echoing in the empty living room. In less than a minute, the conversation inside had progressed to a stage neither of them had anticipated.
"I agree."
When He Xinglan, who was standing behind Yu Xin, got closer, he only heard Yu Lian's three words.
"What? What do you mean I agree? I didn't hear anything!"
Yu Xin quickly pulled the anxious He Xinglan away, and they ran a few steps before stopping.
"What did you say?"
"They don't like each other, so what can be said? They'll just spend these three years without interfering with each other. As expected, the parents are probably going to be disappointed."
While the "newlyweds" discussed their married life, the "newspaper boy" struck again. A large crowd had gathered outside the hospital, drawn by the sensationalist claim that "even the emperor is subject to the same laws as the common people." Si Qin, already sidelined for another ten days or so due to Yu Xin's fall, was further aggravated by the noise outside, his splitting headache worsening. The physical pain left him no time to think about anything else.
While dealing with their own mess, the Si family also had to guard against external pressures; being overwhelmed was an understatement to describe the chaos.
"What do we do now? Brother-in-law, that Yu Lian is so ungrateful. She brought two kids who are barely teenagers to say shameless things to insult me."
Staff Officer Si remained silent, only glancing at his sister-in-law who was talking incessantly.
"You'd better not cause me any trouble. I'll handle Si Qin's matter myself, don't worry about it."
"understood."
Although she outwardly agreed, she still felt her brother-in-law was unreliable. If he truly had the ability to resolve the situation, he wouldn't still be stuck here. This matter didn't affect Director Wang herself; she was free to come and go from the hospital. She just hadn't expected that Erli, who was watching the commotion, would see her swaggering out this time.
"Hey! That woman in the floral shirt is that scoundrel's aunt! She's taking money to humiliate a young, innocent girl!"
Before Director Wang could find the source of the sound, he was already surrounded by people.
"Hey! What are you doing!"
In the blink of an eye, Director Wang's voice was silenced. Erli didn't even have a chance to look again. Some time later, someone called the police, and the person was rescued.
Erli shook Li Min's hand: "Look, the old woman's hair and face!"
Li Min looked in the direction her friend was pointing, and after just one glance, she couldn't straighten up. A large crowd had gathered behind her, refusing to leave, and even the police couldn't persuade them. The police were in the most difficult position, having to both appease the crowd and protect Director Wang's safety; they still hadn't managed to completely break free from the crowd.
"You old hag, this is karma! Who told you to side with criminals and thugs! Bah, people like you don't live long!"
Erli spoke forcefully, showing no respect for Director Wang. Director Wang was right in front of them, being verbally abused, but she was too weak to even spit out her own saliva and had no time to care about such things. She just wanted to get back as soon as possible.
"No, I feel something's fishy about this. Come with me." Li Min lived up to her name.
"What's wrong?"
"Let me tell you, there's something fishy about this from any angle. You said that Si Qin's aunt is this person, but most people in the compound don't know."
Erli also grew up in a military compound, with her parents holding important positions in the army, but Limin came from a government compound and was unaware of the situation.
"Yes, no wonder my teacher saw her running to the Si family before, now I know why."
"That doesn't make sense. According to you, there's no hatred between them, so why have they been keeping it hidden and not making it public?"
"Do you think it's possible that Director Wang is Si Qin's biological mother? She's been so good to him; only a biological mother could do that, right?"
"No way, he doesn't look like her. Si Qin looks more like his mother; there are photos of her in the Si family."
Their discussion didn't stop at mere speculation. Even when it was just the two of them, Li Min quickly grasped the key to ensuring Si Qin would never get up again.
"Anyway, whether it's true or not, let's go check and find out. If it's not true, it's fine; their family won't have to wait many more levels. But if it is, then let's get rid of this scoundrel as soon as possible!"
These four children are the epitome of "small in stature but big in ability." They hit it off immediately, and the two of them rode their bicycles back to the compound.
When they found Yu Xin, she was squatting in the corner discussing something with He Xinglan.
"Hey! Yu Xin, who is this? I've never heard you mention him before?"
"This is He Xinglan, my brother-in-law's sister. This is my best friend..."
After a brief introduction and confirming that He Xinglan was reliable, the two explained their plan.
"Alright, if the Si family really has a scandal, let Si Qin know what the consequences are for not knowing his place."
He Xinglan stood aside, silently calculating that she must not provoke Yu Xin in the future—her group of girlfriends was too powerful.
"Lanlan, you play at home for a while, I'll be back in half an hour."
While they were discussing, Yu Xin had clearly already come up with a solution. "Erli, pedal your bicycle, hurry up, let's go to the old man who tends the boiler."
Watching Yu Xin get on the front of the bicycle and leave, He Xinglan carefully returned to the house.
