As soon as Si Chaoqun and Luo Xuehua entered the room, Si Yu came forward and grabbed their sleeves, looking terrified.
Luo Xuehua gently patted his thin shoulders to comfort him, then took Si Yu’s hand and let the child stay with her at all times.
Si Si recognized Si Yu’s identity at a glance. He looked almost identical to her current father. This must be her younger brother.
Thinking that they would become a family in the future, Si Si took the initiative to give Si Yu a kind smile.
This smile looks so sincere that it makes people feel a deep kindness.
Si Yu looked at the other person’s smile, and a warm feeling surged in his heart, and the original nervousness and uneasiness gradually calmed down.
At the same time, he was also guessing the identity of this beautiful sister. Why was she with his parents, and seeing that they seemed to have a very close relationship, what was the relationship between this sister and his family?
Si Yu searched his mind, but had no impression of this beautiful sister at all. This should be their first meeting.
Although Si Yu didn’t know the other person’s identity, he inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity with the beautiful sister, just like meeting a relative he hadn’t seen for many years. This feeling was very wonderful, and it also made his mood much more relaxed.
Since Qi Mohan was here, the chief seat would naturally be given to him. Qi Mohan couldn’t bear to let Si Si stand there, so he naturally took the initiative to point out the location of their family.
Seeing that Prince Rong personally gave up his seats to Si Chaoqun’s family, the Si family members were stunned.
They all knew the character of Si Chaoqun’s original self. He was just a sycophant. With Prince Rong’s character, he should not deal with such a person.
However, what Prince Rong did completely overturned their perceptions…
Although there was great curiosity in their hearts, the Si family members just kept it to themselves, and no one dared to ask Qi Mohan.
Everyone stood or sat quietly in the main hall, waiting for the Lord of Qiushui City, Prince Rong, to speak the first words.
However, Qi Mohan did not speak to the crowd, but looked at Si Chaoqun. He pointed at the other people in the room and asked, “What about these?”
Si Chaoqun quickly introduced: “This one is the patriarch of our Si clan, this clan elder is my third uncle, and that one is my fourth uncle…”
In short, these people were his outstanding elders, and their titles range from Third Uncle to Sixth Uncle.
Qi Mohan understood the other party’s identity and knew that these people must be looking for Si Chaoqun to talk about some family matters. Although he was the master of Qiushui City, it was not easy for him to interfere in other people’s family affairs.
However, Si Chaoqun’s family was nothing more than someone else to Qi Mohan.
To prevent them from being harassed and criticized by their clansmen, Qi Mohan had to pretend that he respected Si Chaoqun very much.
After all, if he didn’t do this, there was no guarantee that Si Chaoqun’s family would not encounter difficulties and troubles.
Therefore, although he felt helpless, Qi Mohan still decided to take this approach to protect them.
He glanced at Si Si reluctantly, then stood up and said, “Since you have family matters to discuss, I will not stay here to disturb you.”
After that, he took out a waist badge with ancient patterns on it and handed it to Si Chaoqun: “If you encounter any difficulties in the future, just go to Prince Rong Mansion to find me. If the gatekeeper sees this token, it is the same as seeing me, and he will never stop you.”
The Si family members didn’t know how important this waist badge was, but Han Yi and other relatives knew exactly what it represented.
This symbol of the status of Prince Rong Mansion doesn’t seem to be of much use in Qiushui City. Once you leave here and go to other cities, it can be used as a pass, which is equivalent to the household registration of ordinary people.
As a result, to please the girl’s family, Prince Rong gave this important thing to them.
It seems that they will have to look at this family with new eyes in the future, otherwise, they might offend their master…
Qi Mohan had no choice but to give Si Chaoqun the waist badge. After the drought, he sold all his jade pendants to buy food. Now, the only thing of some value he had was this badge that represented his identity.
Si Si didn’t recognize the badge, but after Si Chaoqun saw the words engraved on it, he already knew how precious it was.
The original owner often hung out with Qiao Zhenwu, and he had seen many officials holding this waist badge, which was a must-have item for officials of the Daqi Kingdom, representing their official position and status.
Si Chaoqun quickly refused: “Your Majesty, this is not appropriate to give such an important thing to me.”
Qi Mohan waved his hand indifferently: “It’s okay, if this prince thinks it’s appropriate, then it’s appropriate.”
He was afraid that Si Chaoqun would refuse again, so he threw this sentence and told his subordinates to leave.
As soon as Qi Mohan left, the Si family members finally breathed a sigh of relief. Before they could start talking, Si Chaoqun took the initiative to ask, “Patriarch and uncles came to my humble abode in the rain. What important matter do you have?”
Now the clan leader and several uncles looked at Si Chaoqun with uncertain eyes. This was because they heard that Si Chaoqun’s family was excluded by the surrounding people and could not get the porridge from Prince Rong’s Mansion. They planned to come here to preach first and then take them back to live in the clan.
Even if Si Chaoqun’s family couldn’t get any porridge, there were still so many clansmen around, and if everyone gave them some, they wouldn’t starve to death.
Moreover, the continuous rainfall in the past few days indicated that the drought would soon end, and Si Chaoqun’s family would eventually get through it. After all, they were their people, and they would not watch them starve to death.
Unexpectedly, the family they were worried about dying were sent back by Prince Rong. Not only that, Prince Rong also treated Si Chaoqun with such courtesy.
For the sake of the truth, the clan leader and the elders first thought of the same thing as the common people: Si Chaoqun must have had his old problem again, and he had brought back such a beautiful girl from somewhere to please Prince Rong.
Thinking of this, the clan leader and the elders all looked at Si Si. Regardless of whether they thought or not, they had to first ask about the identity of this girl.
The clan leader did not answer Si Chaoqun’s question, but asked: “Chaoqun, what about this girl?”
On the way back from Prince Rong Mansion, Si Chaoqun and Luo Xueyan had agreed that Si Si would continue to be their daughter here.
In this regard, it can be said that the original owner’s true situation was their best reference.
Si Chaoqun’s original body was thirty-six years old, and Luo Xuehua’s original body was exactly thirty years old. In ancient times, people generally got married early, and the two got married twenty years ago. At that time, Si Chaoqun was sixteen years old and Luo Xuehua was ten years old.
They wanted to say that in the second year of their marriage, they successfully gave birth to a daughter.
