Chapter 456 Asking for Family Law
"Young man, I'm here to see your young master off." The village chief stepped forward with a smug smile on his face.
"Young Master?" The guard at the door was obviously stunned, then frowned, looking at the two people in front of him, who were dusty and dressed simply, and then looking at the inconspicuous little carriage, he couldn't connect them with their young master at all.
Besides, their young master is in the barracks at this time, how could he come back and ask others to send him back?
Seeing the guard's expression, the village chief suddenly had a bad feeling. Under normal circumstances, their young master had been missing for so long, shouldn't he be ecstatic to hear the news about their young master?
Did I go to the wrong place?
"My dear, this is the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion, and your young master's surname is Si."
"It's the Yong'an Marquis Mansion. My young master's surname is indeed Si." The guard looked suspicious, but still answered him.
"Oh, then there is no doubt about it. The person sitting in the carriage is your young master." The village chief finally felt relieved and said easily.
"Don't lie to me, or you'll be in big trouble." The guard snorted coldly and walked towards the carriage.
"Of course I wouldn't dare. The person sitting inside is indeed your young master. You can tell at a glance." The village chief respectfully moved aside.
The guard came to the carriage in just a few steps. Just as he was about to reach out to lift the curtain, the curtain was opened from the inside, revealing Si Chengyi's face.
"Don't you recognize me?" Si Chengyi asked with a cold face.
"Second, Second Young Master." The guards were obviously stunned. They never expected that the young master they were talking about would be Si Chengyi.
"Don't help me down."
"Yes, Second Young Master." The guard hurried forward and stretched out his arm. With his support, Si Chengyi quickly got off the carriage.
Seeing this scene, the village chief and his son were delighted.
"Mr. Si, please slow down and be careful with your steps." The village chief also hurried over to support his other arm.
"It's okay." Si Chengyi waved at him, refusing his support.
The village chief withdrew his hand slightly embarrassedly, trying to maintain a smile on his face.
Si Chengyi walked towards the gate without looking back. The village chief and his son wanted to follow him in, but were stopped.
"Master Si, we..." The village chief shouted hurriedly, but he didn't say the rest of the words, and the meaning was self-evident.
Si Chengyi, who had already walked into the gate, had no choice but to stop and looked at the two of them impatiently: "Find a place to stay first, I'll come find you another day."
After receiving his reply, the village chief's nervous mood finally relaxed. He thought to himself that it must be a big family that doesn't allow anyone to enter casually, so the guards stopped them.
After entering the gate, Si Chengyi whispered to the guard who helped him in, "Is the Second Master in the Marquis' Mansion?"
"Replying to the Second Young Master, the Second Master has taken sick leave recently and has been staying at home the whole time." The affair between Si Chengren and Si Chengyi had caused a sensation throughout the capital city; even the children playing on the street knew about it.
In order to pay back the gambling debts, Si Wei Zhong emptied his family fortune and sold off his property. Unexpectedly, his two sons stole all his things, leaving him alone to face the jackals in the gambling house.
But, how long has it been since then, Si Chengyi has actually returned, has the money been spent, how long has it been since then? Less than a month.
The guard secretly complained in his heart. Even though he looked down on the two brothers, he didn't dare to say a word. No matter how wrong the other person was, he was still the young master of the Marquis' Mansion. He was just a servant. How could he talk about his master casually?
"How long have you been on sick leave? How is my father's health now?" Si Chengyi's heart skipped a beat and he suddenly had a bad feeling.
"About a month, the second master seemed to be very ill, and he rarely went out." He was just a small guard and didn't know much.
"I understand. Has anything big happened in the Marquis' Mansion recently?" Si Chengyi asked again. In fact, what he wanted to know more was the whereabouts of Si Chengren.
"It seems that there is no such thing." The guard supported Si Chengyi and thought hard before answering.
The two of them quickly arrived at Si Chengyi's residence. As soon as they entered, they saw that his room was empty, with only a bed and nothing else.
Si Chengyi once suspected that he had come to the wrong place, and was about to call someone to ask what was going on.
Then, Si Wei Zhong shouted from outside: "You evil creature, you actually have the nerve to come back."
Hearing the long-lost voice, Si Chengyi turned around hurriedly and saw Si Wei Zhong walking towards him supported by the housekeeper, his chest heaving violently and his face full of gloom.
Si Chengyi was so scared that he took a few steps back. His legs were already hurting, and after walking such a long way from the door, he lost his balance and sat down on the ground with a thud, groaning in pain.
"Dad, I know I was wrong. I have a broken leg and God is punishing me for you. Please forgive me one last time." Ignoring the pain, he dragged his injured leg, lay on the ground and kowtowed to Si Wei Zhong.
"Haha, God really has eyes. Why did he only give you one leg? He should have broken both of your legs and then let you die on the street." Si Wei Zhong was still supported by the housekeeper. He looked sick and his temples were full of white hair.
Si Chengyi knelt on the ground, not daring to look up at him, which was why he asked to walk slower on the road.
Since I have decided to return to the Marquis' Mansion, this situation is inevitable.
Ever since the two of them stole the things in the warehouse, Si Wei Zhong had imagined more than once the scene of them coming back in the future, but that was many years later.
Unexpectedly, just over a month later, his good son came back with a broken leg.
The housekeeper had already told him that Si Chengren did not come back, but was brought back by two men who looked like farmers.
Looking at Si Chengyi's clothes, they were just the coarse cloth clothes that ordinary farmers wore. Seeing this scene in front of him, Si Wei Zhong could guess what was going on.
The two of them have become enemies. It seems that the winner is his eldest son, otherwise the second son would not have returned in this state.
Thinking about his years of hard work and diligence, in the end he lost everything and still had to pay back 500 taels of silver to the gambling house every month.
A fire started rising in his heart, and this fire had been in his heart for a long time. If he didn't release it, he was really afraid that one day he would die.
When he looked at Si Chengyi again, the look in his eyes was totally different from the way a father should look at his son. It was as if he was looking at an enemy, the kind with whom he was irreconcilable.
It was time to put an end to what the two brothers had done to him before. It would have been fine if they couldn't find him, but he actually came back.
Okay, very good, don’t blame him, you’re welcome.
"Butler, go and apply the family rules." Si Wei Zhong ordered coldly.
