My sister became the empress, but I'm still growing vegetables and raising chickens

Chapter 223 The execution date is brought forward

Chapter 223 Execution Date Moved Forward

After that, Master Bi picked up his chopsticks, lifted up the little sister's chin with the other end of the chopsticks, and asked, "What do you want?"

The younger sister suppressed the fear in her heart and said, "Ask for power."

Lord Bi laughed heartily. "What an ignorant little fellow! Do you think that you can gain power just by being pretty? Do you know that women are just entertainment for men? Power? That's not something a woman should touch."

The younger sister blurted out, "Men can have rights, so if I get a man, doesn't that mean I get rights?"

Judge Luo Tong was horrified when he heard this. He knew that his younger sister sincerely meant so, but her purpose was to seduce Lord Bi. How could she say such ambitious words?

Master Bi stared at my younger sister for a long time, then nodded and said, "Get up."

He stood up and walked out. Seeing his little sister still standing there in a daze, he squinted his eyes and said, "Since you want to follow me, why don't you come over?"

"Yes." The younger sister was overjoyed and hurried forward.

When she was about to leave, she turned back and saluted Judge Luo Tong.

In the carriage, my younger sister quickly told Master Bi about the Si family's affairs: "All I want is for you to be safe. I heard that Master Bi never married a prostitute, but I am not a prostitute."

"The Si family... is that the former Anlehou Si family?" Lord Bi looked my younger sister up and down, nodded, and said, "Your Si family is lucky. They were only confiscated and exiled, not reduced to official slaves or prostitutes."

Hearing his gentle attitude, my sister's tense nerves relaxed. "Thank you very much, sir, for your presence. I beg you to make the decision for me."

Master Bi leaned against the wall of the car with his eyes closed. After a long while, he said, "You don't look like a dancer at all. You can't control a man."

The younger sister murmured, "I am a fool."

"You're not stupid," Lord Bi said. "You're born with such a beautiful face and know how to use it. You're not stupid. It's just that you have calluses on your hands, and you get nervous around men."

The younger sister paused and said quickly, "I'm grateful for your advice."

Back at the Bi Mansion, Master Bi had no intention of marrying the younger sister. Instead, he brought her to Madam Bi and said, "This girl is quite good. You should teach her more about the rules of the inner house and how to treat others."

After this, my younger sister was confined to the courtyard every day, learning all the etiquette that a lady of a noble family should have, and she also had two maids to serve her. Apart from Madam Bi, the only person she could see who was considered a master was Aunt Zhao.

Aunt Zhao was Madam Bi's dowry. She was about the same age as Madam Bi, but she had a round face and looked innocent.

I thought that Madam Bi must have been very kind to Aunt Zhao, which is why she raised her to be so innocent.

Aunt Zhao loved to talk, and after my younger sister finished her studies, she would pull her aside and start talking about all sorts of things, asking about her past life. But every time this happened, Mrs. Bi's mother would stop her and not let her say any more.

The younger sister asked cautiously, "Mom, when can I go out?"

Aunt Zhao said with a giggle, "Don't worry, sister. You haven't been taken in by the master yet, and you haven't been offered tea yet. You're not yet a member of our Bi Mansion. Once everything is settled, Madam will allow you to go out and play."

The younger sister was a little anxious. She didn't know the situation outside, so she didn't know how her sister was doing. Calculating the date, her sister would be executed the day after tomorrow, and she didn't know if the master had made arrangements.

The next day, when the Madam came, my younger sister knelt on the ground and begged, "Madam, please let me see the Master."

Mrs. Bi looked at her younger sister with a complicated expression, and after a long moment she said, "You get up first."

The younger sister shook her head: "Madam, I just want to see the master. Please let me see the master once."

Madam Bi sighed, "Mu Wan, Master said you were clever and asked me to teach you well. Over the past few days, I've also come to believe you're quite clever, but how can you use such intelligence for evil purposes? No matter what you do, it's better than groveling before someone like this, right?"

"I know, Madam, you blame me for seducing the Master." The younger sister choked up, "But why criticize others when you haven't experienced their suffering? Madam, your life has generally been smooth. Your mother's family is friendly, your husband is loving, and your only concubine is like a sister to you. But my family has been in poverty since I was young. Two brothers have died in succession. Now my eldest sister has been framed by a villain and is about to be saved. Madam, I don't care what happens to me, as long as my sister can survive!"

Mrs. Bi didn't know what was going on with the Si family. She only knew that her younger sister came to her husband for a purpose. And for so many years, her husband had never brought other women into the mansion.

Once, a woman from outside the family used trickery to get pregnant with my husband's child, using this as a threat to force him into marrying into the mansion. However, my husband simply offered her money to give birth to the child, and the child could marry into the mansion, but the woman could not. My younger sister was the first woman my husband had brought home, and she was even younger than their eldest son.

Aunt Zhao next to her was surprised: "Are you saying that you are Si Muyan's sister?"

The younger sister's eyes lit up: "Auntie knows my sister?"

"Yes..." Aunt Zhao looked at Madam Bi with her mouth half open. "Madam, I took Lin'er out to play yesterday and heard others talking about the woman who runs the Si family restaurant. She poisoned a customer and was sentenced to death by hanging. The execution was originally scheduled for the day after tomorrow, but..."

"But what?" The younger sister looked at her hopefully, "Could it be that the master succeeded in overturning my sister's conviction?"

Aunt Zhao was speechless and just looked at Madam Bi nervously.

Mrs. Bi said, "Just tell me what you have to say. This child is also a pitiful person."

Aunt Zhao then said, "Madam, I heard that the execution, originally scheduled for the day after tomorrow, has been changed to today!"

"What?" The younger sister jumped up and tried to run out without caring about etiquette, but was stopped by the maids and servants outside.

Mrs. Bi came out hurriedly and said, "You child, what's the point of running away now? What else can you do when you are at the execution ground?"

"What should I do with my sister? My sister..."

Madam Bi hurriedly said, "Come here, go find the master and have him taken to the execution ground. Mu Wan, change your clothes quickly. I'll take you there. I'm the governor's wife, so I think I have some respect."

At the same time, Si Xingzhi and his second sister at the inn also received the news of the early execution. It was Luo Tongpan who came to inform them personally.

"Originally, this case was nothing special, but yesterday, Lord Bi said he wanted to retrieve the case files and personally re-examine the case. In the afternoon, the prefect issued an order, and the execution will be carried out today."

Si Xingzhi's eyes widened. "What did you say? Aren't you afraid that the governor will be angry if you do this?"

Judge Luo Tong sighed, "When the Third Miss came to see me that day, I told her that although the Governor is a higher official, there are some local affairs that Master Bi cannot interfere in. The case was already decided long ago. Without special circumstances, ordinary people cannot review it. The prefect's decision was not wrong..."
