Wu Man's gaze darkened. Something that could make Sikong so serious was definitely not a small matter.
Si Yue rarely saw such an expression on her father's face. Even she didn't see it, so she asked curiously, "Father, what happened?"
"Yue 'er, you're back too?" Si Kong then saw his precious daughter, "Since you're back, go and rest. I'll visit you after I've finished discussing with your Auntie Man. Wu Man, let's go to the study. "
"Okay." Wu Man nodded and disappeared with Si Kong at the same time.
They could even disappear without opening a spatial tunnel. Such strength made Sima Youyue think of the people around Feng Ru Yan.
They also disappeared from where they stood.
Si Yue watched as they left just like that. She pouted and mumbled, "What exactly happened that Father didn't even have time to talk to me?"
Si family's Third Brother also put away his usual cheerful appearance and comforted his little sister, "Something big must have happened for Father to be so anxious. Don't be angry with me. "
"I know." Si Yue said, "I was just thinking that it must be something big for Father to be so anxious. Why don't we go listen and see if we can help? "
"That won't do." Third Brother pulled her back and said, "Don't forget Father's rules. You can go anywhere except his study. Without orders, you can't go. Don't you have a guest? Why aren't you going to ask them to stay? Or do you want them to mess around with you? "
Si Yue looked at Sima Youyue and the other two and sighed, saying, "Alright, I'll bring Little Sis and the others to stay in my courtyard."
"The courtyard next to yours has been tidied up. Bring them there. It's close to your courtyard." Third Brother Si said.
"Okay. Little sister, let's go. "
Sima Youyue didn't say anything since the beginning. She didn't know what happened to Si Kong and the rest, but her instincts told her that it should be related to Mi Er being contracted.
But she had just arrived and it wasn't good for her to ask too much, so she could only follow Si Yue down.
Si Yue brought Sima Youyue, Mu Si, and Di Wu to the courtyard next to hers. In this place, River Earl didn't need to follow her. Instead, he was taken away by Third Brother for questioning.
Regarding Sima You Yue's situation, although the Si Clan had supported her and helped her, they didn't know much about her situation. That was why they wanted him to understand her situation and find out who she was and what her motive was.
"River Earl, come with me. Big brother and the others are waiting for you."
"Yes, Third Young Master."
Si Hui brought He Bo to his own courtyard. Big Brother Si Ze and Second Brother Si Yi were waiting for them there.
Seeing them come in, the two brothers stood up and clasped their hands towards River Earl. "River Earl."
The young master of this family was actually bowing to River Earl. It was not hard to imagine how high his position was in this family.
"Thank you for your hard work, River Earl." Si Ze said gratefully.
"Big Young Master, you are too polite." River Earl bowed back.
"We have some questions for you. Please take a seat."
River Earl sat down, and so did Si Ze and his brothers.
"He Bo, what's the name of the girl my little sister brought back? How did they know each other? What's her identity? "Si Yi asked.
River Earl casually set up a spirit barrier to prevent people from eavesdropping. Then, he said, "That girl is called Sima Youyue. She is Sima Liu Xuan's daughter."
"Sima Liu Xuan?! How could she be his daughter?! River Earl, are you sure? "Si Hui said in surprise.
"It should be." River Earl said, "Her purpose of coming here is to save her father."
"But her father …"
"If people find out about her identity, I'm afraid that it will cause trouble." Si Yi frowned. Why did his little sister bring back such a troublesome person?
"Young Miss likes her very much." River Earl said, "According to my observations these few days, she is indeed a young lady worthy of being friends with."
"To be able to get River Earl's praise, this person is indeed not bad." Si Ze sighed.
"Isn't that so, River Earl. You rarely praise someone. Tell us more about her so that we can have a better understanding of her. "Si Yi said.
"Alright …"
On the other side, Si Yue brought Sima Youyue and the others to an exquisite courtyard. She said, "This courtyard was not used to entertain guests. But my father and the others probably guessed that I would want you to be closer to me. That's why they prepared this courtyard. If you think it's too small, we can change to another one. "
"Sure. The three of us are enough. This courtyard is very beautiful. "Sima Youyue smiled.
"As long as you like it." Si Yue saw that they did not seem to be faking it and was happy. "I don't really like servant girls, so there are fewer people around me. I'll ask Big Brother to send a few servant girls over. "
"No need. I don't have the habit of using servant girls. "Sima Youyue said.
"But …"
"Since when do I have servant girls by my side? If you send someone over, I won't be used to it. "Sima Youyue said.
"Alright then. When the time comes, don't say that I'm neglecting you! "
"Why would I?"
"Then I'll instruct the kitchen to prepare food for Mu Si every day. This way, you won't have to cook for him every day. "Si Yue said.
Sima Youyue wanted to reject at first, but she remembered that she had things to do later and might not be back anytime. Mu Si really needed someone to take care of him here.
"Then I'll have to trouble you. If I'm not around later on, I'll need you to take care of Mu Si. "
"No problem." With such a big Si family, having Mu Si wouldn't affect it at all.
"Thank you." Mu Si bowed to her.
"It's so rare for this fellow to take the initiative to speak to me." Si Yue teased.
Mu Si pursed his lips and didn't reply to her.
"Si Yue, do you think that what your father and the others said just now has something to do with Mi Er?" Sima Youyue asked.
"You feel that way too?" Si Yue said in surprise, "I also feel that it might have something to do with it. But father hasn't said anything so we don't know."
Seeing that Sima Youyue was worried, she smiled and said, "Anyway, you're only here to find your father. Anything else doesn't matter."
"I'm just afraid that it has something to do with father." Sima Youyue said.
"If you're worried, wait for father and the others to come out and we'll ask them what's going on." Si Yue comforted.
"Alright."
In Si Kong's study room, other than him and Wu Man, there were two other elders. These two looked very old and weren't ordinary elders.
Wu Man was surprised to see the two of them. She nodded slightly at them and the two of them nodded back.
"What the hell is going on? You actually alerted the two elders! "the cat said.
