Xia Qiu Ling was still berating Si Chen Ao, "Be tough for me in the future. As long as your father is here, the Si Family will be yours. Those two old fellows won't die. That bastard Si Han has no one to rely on, your father will definitely not let him off."

Si Chen Ao raised his head, his voice gentle, "Mom, I don't feel wronged. Grandfather and Grandmother are also justified in doing this to me. After all, in their eyes, you are not worthy to be part of your Si family."

She was clearly lamenting about how unfair fate was, but when it entered Xia Qiu Ling's ears, it made her think of the terrible things that happened in the past.

She had once been a third-rate actress, and in the entertainment industry, she was simply a poor actress. If she wanted to have a role to play, she had to use her body to play, but her fate was good.

Then she became the mistress of the state. She knew he had a wife and children, but she knew how to win a man's heart.

In the end, she managed to accomplish it. Now that the power of the Empire was dead, he didn't hesitate to marry her into the Si Clan.

Xia Qiu Ling's expression was a bit twisted. "They say I can't be on the stage. Their Si Family has been around for three generations, and they still have muddy legs. What's there to be proud of?"

Her expression was sinister, obviously provoked by Si Chen Ao's words, "Just you wait. Sooner or later, the Si Family will be mine, and the two old bastards won't have a good ending."

Si Chen's face was filled with worry, "Mom, actually grandpa and grandma are pretty good. Why do you have to get angry at them?"

"It's them who won't let us live. You are clearly a descendant of the Si Family, but look at what you've obtained. Other than entering the Si Family and eating a bowl of rice from the Si Family, you can't interfere in any of the Si Family's business. What's the difference between you and those servants?" Xia Qiu Ling said.

"You can't even compare to those servants, those people at least have a salary to pay for their work, but what about you? "If it wasn't for your father, you would be a plaything raised by the Si Family, yet you don't live up to your expectations. Are you going to anger me to death?"

As Xia Qiu Ling said this, she started crying sorrowfully. How did she raise such a good-for-nothing son?

A bitter look appeared in Si Chen Ao's eyes. He stepped forward and embraced Xia Qiu Ling. "I was the one who let mother down, but I really don't know how to scheme."

Xia Qiu Ling also knew what kind of person her son was. She finally sighed, "Mom doesn't expect you to help either. I just hope you don't care about your mom's matters. Those two old bastards, Si Han and I, won't stop until we die!"

Xia Qiu Ling brought Si Chen Ao back to his room, then stopped him from going out, so that he wouldn't be ridiculed by the old man again.

After Xia Qiu Ling left, she did not notice the smile that flashed across Si Chen Ao's eyes. "Truly the best mother in the world!" Even though her tone was extremely gentle, her smile didn't reach her eyes.

Xia Qiu Ling went out of the room. She did not go straight back to the living room, but to the washroom. She had just cried, if she did not clean up, someone else would definitely see through her.

While she was washing her face, Bai Hui Xin came to the bathroom and the two happened to look at each other in the mirror.

Bai Hui Xin smiled and said, "Madam Si, is Second Young Master Si okay?"

Five years ago, she knew of Si Chen Ao's existence, but this person was just like a little piece of transparency, not leaving her any impression at all. Now, however, she felt that these two people were worthy of her winning over, even though she still didn't know what use they were.

Xia Qiu Ling calmly sized her up. Since they were both women, she naturally understood her thoughts. "Thank you for Miss Hui Xin's concern, Chen Ao is fine."

"There's no need to be so polite Madam, just call me Hui Xin." Bai Hui Xin said.

Xia Qiu Ling affectionately held Bai Hui Xin's hand, "I just like Hui Xin to be so gentle and considerate. Si Han is not blessed and found such a thing himself, how great would it be if Hui Xin could marry into the Si family, then I also have someone I can talk to."

"Aunty, please don't say anymore. Big brother Si Han and I really have nothing to do with each other. Big brother Si Han only has Miss Xiao in his heart."

When Xia Qiuling heard this, she smiled without saying a word. Si Han only had that slut, Xiao Tong, in his heart, but she didn't say whether or not she still had Si Han in her heart.

As the two of them tidied up their makeup, they chatted. Xia Qiu Ling said, "I've already tidied up. Hui Xin, I'll be going out first."

Bai Hui Xin nodded. She only left the washroom after Xia Qiu Ling left for five minutes.

After the two met in the living room, apart from a brief moment of eye contact, no one else had taken the initiative to talk to each other. It was as if the intimacy they had shared in the washroom had been the imagination of others.

When it was almost time to eat, Si Qiong returned. Xiao Tong and his family of three also went downstairs.

The glutinous rice was almost six years old, so no one needed to worry about it when they ate. Xiao Tong also hadn't eaten well in the past few days, so the two of them ate like hungry ghosts reincarnated.

When the old man and the old mistress saw the both of them enjoying their food, they were driven to eat half a bowl more.

Xia Qiu Ling despised these two people in her heart. They were really country bumpkins who had never eaten anything good before!

She glanced at the two old scoundrels. Although they had evil intentions behind their backs, she was no fool. The Si Family was still the power of these two old scoundrels. No matter how unwilling she was, she still had to curry favor with them.

The two old fogeys liked glutinous rice, so she gave the glutinous rice dish, "This Red Braised Meat is delicious, just eat more glutinous rice!" Eat, eat, you better choke to death.

However, the glutinous rice rolled its eyes as if it didn't see the dish that she picked up. It just put the piece of Red Braised Meat on the plate and didn't touch it.

Xia Qiu Ling's eyes were about to spew fire. She was just a child and knew that she despised people. It must be the adults who taught her!

A look of sadness appeared on her face, "Little glutinous rice, why don't you eat the Red Braised Meat that Grandma picked up? Do you not like Grandma?" She then looked at Xiao Tong, "Did you say something to glutinous rice? "I really do not have any malicious intentions. I seem to really like glutinous rice even though it's so cute."

Si Nong Quan looked at Xiao Tong and Gluttony and said angrily, "How uncultured!"

"It's not certain who has not been educated yet. I don't know how to use the male chopsticks when cooking for others. Anyway, glutinous rice and I can't do such a thing." Xiao Tong refuted on the spot.

Xiao Tong frowned when she saw the sticky rice covered with Xia Qiu Ling's saliva and placed the Red Braised Meat on her plate. She didn't know if Xia Qiu Ling had an infectious disease, but a child's body wasn't as resistant as adults.

Si Han directly said to the servant, "Go and get another plate!"

Xia Qiu Ling's face turned red on the spot. Being slapped in the face like that almost made her stand up and leave. However, Si Chen Ao, who was beside her, held her down.

"Mom, this Dry-Fried Fish is pretty good. You can try it."

If she directly left, then it would be her fault. Instead of sitting here, people would be able to see how magnanimous she was.

Since Xia Qiu Ling was able to be the third son, she naturally wasn't stupid. She apologised awkwardly, "I didn't notice. Grandmother will give the glutinous rice another piece."

This time, she used the common chopsticks. If she didn't eat the glutinous rice again, she would be able to see who was uncultured.

However, before Xia Qiu Ling made her move, the old man said, "It's enough for everyone to eat, there's no need to pinch each other."

The chopstick that Xia Qiu Ling extended was neither one nor the other. In the end, she could only embarrassedly take it back.

The old man rubbed the glutinous rice's little head and praised, "The glutinous rice is still the smartest. Our glutinous rice is the most cultured."

After the meal, it was already late. Bai Hui Xin wanted to leave, so she turned to Si Han and said, "Big brother Si Han, can you send me back? I have something to talk about with you."
