Chapter 425 - 425: Reunion in the Jail
Si Yuhcng said very naturally, “Doing business. Since you’ve seen my grandfather, you must have been to his shop. How’s business?”
Chu Qingzhi thought to herself, Is Si Yuheng deliberately acting so innocent?
Or is he really that innocent?
If he did it on purpose, she wanted to say that his acting skills were really good. She could not see any flaws.
Chu Qingzhi said, “Do you want to see your grandfather? I can bring you there.”
Si Yuheng missed his grandfather very much and said anxiously, “Yes, can you bring me there immediately?”
Chu Qingzhi nodded. “Sure, let’s go.”
Ministry of Justice.
Coincidentally, just as Chu Qingzhi brought Si Yuheng to Ministry of Justice, Tang Jinghong arrived with Si Yingzong.
Tang Jinghong immediately turned around and walked towards Chu Qingzhi. “Qingzhi, why are you here?”
Chu Qingzhi looked at Si Yingzong and said, “I brought Si Yuheng over to look for you.”
When Si Yingzong heard the word “Si”, he immediately turned to look at Si Yuheng. He was excited. Was this his nephew?
“Si Yuheng?” Tang Jinghong looked at Si Yuheng.
Si Yuheng was confused. Why were they all looking at him with such a look?
Did they know him?
Chu Qingzhi explained Si Yuheng to Tang Jinghong.
What a coincidence. Tang Jinghong said, “Let’s go inside and talk.”
However, Si Yuheng did not move. He looked at the words “Ministry of Justice” and was very puzzled. “Miss, did we take the wrong path?”
Chu Qingzhi turned around. “We didn’t. It’s here.”
How could his grandfather be at the Ministry of Justice? She was clearly lying.
Si Yuheng took a step back. “Miss, I’m not going. You can go by yourself.”
Chu Qingzhi said calmly, “If you don’t come, you might not be able to see your grandfather for the last time.”
Si Yuheng’s heart tightened. “Miss, what do you mean?”
Chu Qingzhi said, “If you want to see your grandfather, come with us. Don’t worry, the government won’t use schemes to trick people into jail. If they really want to arrest you, they will send soldiers to arrest you openly.”
Si Yuheng stood on the spot and thought for a while. In the end, he decided to believe Chu Qingzhi. There was no need for her to lie to him. He was so poor and had no power or influence. “Alright, I’ll go in and take a look.”
Tang Jinghong brought them to Si Shijiang’s cell. “Butler Si, I’ve brought Si Yingzong for you.”
Si Shijiang opened his eyes and looked at them. When he saw Si Yingzong, he was extremely excited. “Young Master Yingzong…”
Tears streamed down his face as he knelt in front of Si Yingzong.
When Si Yuheng saw this scene, he was very puzzled. What was going on? Why did his grandfather kneel down to him? And even call him Young Master?
Si Yingzong looked at the old butler and felt a lump in his throat. Tears welled up in his eyes as he knelt down as well.
He was the one who caused everyone to be in this state. He was to blame.
“Butler, I’m sorry.”
Si Shijiang slowly shook his head, “In the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed. Young Master Yingzong, are you alright?”
Si Yingzong said with difficulty, “I’m fine, but why are you…”
Si Shijiang didn’t mention anything about himself. He wiped his tears and waved at Si Yuheng. “Yuheng, come here.”
Si Yuheng walked over and knelt at the side. “Grandpa.”
Si Shijiang asked with concern, “Why are you in the capital?”
“I’m here to see you.” Si Yuheng was worried. “Grandpa, what business did you do? Why did you end up in prison?”
Si Sijiang sighed and said helplessly, “I was in the antique business, but I encountered a batch of fake goods, so I was sued.”
Si Yuheng said agitatedly, “What fake goods? Just compensate them with the money. Why did they have to send you to prison?”
Si Shijiang looked at Si Yuheng lovingly. He had long treated this child as his biological grandson. “Someone died during this incident, so I’m held responsible.”
Si Yuheng’s eyes turned red. He could not take it anymore. “Grandpa, is there any way to save you? If I can’t save you, I’ll sit in prison for you.”
Si Shijiang’s eyes were filled with love. “I’m already old. I’ve lived long enough.
You’re still young. You still have a long way to go. Live well.”
Si Yuheng was agitated. “Grandpa, I want to save you. I must save you.”
Si Shijiang held Si Yuheng’s hand, his eyes filled with kindness. “Yuheng, calm down. Grandpa has something very important to tell you now.”
Si Yuheng shook his head. “Grandpa, if there’s anything, wait until I save you.”
Si Shijiang’s tone suddenly became stern. “Yuheng, don’t be willful.” “Grandfather…” Si Yuheng cried.
Si Shijiang’s heart ached for him, and his expression slowly softened. “Yuheng, he’s Si Yingzong, your biological uncle. Pay your respects.”
“Yuheng.” Si Yingzong looked at Si Yuheng. He had already guessed it. Si Yuheng resembled a little like his sister-in-law. He could tell at a glance.
Si Yuheng was in no mood for that. He only wanted to save Si Shijiang, but he still obediently bowed to Si Yingzong. “Uncle.”
Si Yingzong patted Si Yuheng’s shoulder in relief. He had finally found his eldest brother and sister-in-law’s son. The Si family would perish without descendants now. “I’m sorry, Yuheng, for finding you so late.”
Si Yuheng shook his head. “Uncle, can you think of a way to save Grandfather?”
Si Yingzong already knew what Si Shijiang had done, so there was no possibility of saving him. However, facing Si Yuheng’s expectant gaze, he didn’t say it so bluntly. “I’ll try to think of a way.”
Si Yuheng thanked him sincerely. “Thank you, Uncle.”
When Si Shijiang saw this scene, he was finally relieved. In the future, when he was no longer around, Yuheng would not be alone. “Yuheng, you have to listen to your uncle in the future. Don’t be willful, understand?”
Si Yuheng was very happy to have another relative. “Grandpa, you will save you so that you live with us too.”
Seeing Si Yuheng like this, Si Shijiang secretly made up his mind. “Yuheng, can you help Grandpa buy a few sweet biscuits?”
Si Yuheng quickly agreed. “Okay, okay, okay. Grandpa, I’ll go right away.”
He ran out.
Si Yingzong bowed three times to Si Shijiang. “Butler, thank you for protecting the Si family’s bloodline and raising Yuheng so well.”
Si Shijiang helped Si Yingzong up. He was very reluctant. “Young Master
Yingzong, I’ll leave Yuheng to you in the future.”
Si Yingzong nodded. “Butler, don’t worry. I’ll do my best to teach him.”
Si Shijiang pushed Si Yingzong out of the cell and turned his back to him. He waved his hand. “Go. Let me be alone.”
Si Yingzong stood on the spot and looked at Si Shijiang’s slightly hunched back.
Tears flowed down his face and he couldn’t move for a long time..
