But Si Ling remained calm on the surface. She smiled faintly and looked at Si Linhan, "Although the work in the Hanlin Academy is idle, I will still work hard and strive to be promoted as soon as possible so that I can assist my uncle!"

However, it was Lin Cuiya who answered her, "Chengze is so sensible, the master must be very happy! Now that you and Sheng Wen both have official positions in the court, the future of our Sihou Mansion will be bright!"

After that, she asked her servants to pour wine for everyone, and she also poured a glass for Si Linhan, and said happily, "We all felt very sorry that Yan Chengze didn't come last time when Sheng Wen was washing the dust. Today is just the time to make up for it."

A glass of wine! Let me go to you two brothers first. I hope you will support each other and have a smooth career!"

These words sounded nice, and Lin Cuiya looked like a good wife and mother. Si Linhan nodded slightly and picked up the wine glass. Seeing this, Si Shengwen also raised his glass and stood up, looking at Si Ling.

Si Ling looked at the mother and son with no warmth in her eyes.

Lin Cuiya's mouth is so powerful. She easily overturned what happened earlier, covering up Si Shengwen's fault, and kept talking about brothers, support...

What kind of bullshit brothers are they! Support? I'm afraid it will be more open and covert attacks, adding insult to injury!

However, no matter how dissatisfied she was, Si Ling could only hold it back for the time being, because sitting in front of her was Si Lin, whom she could not defeat.

So she also picked up the wine glass and said with a smile, "What my aunt said is true. From now on, my cousin and I will serve in the court together. If my cousin needs help, he can come to me at any time."

There was contempt in Si Shengwen's eyes. A mere Hanlin Academy clerk was so satisfied and yet he had the nerve to talk so shamelessly. Si Chengze was so stupid!

"This cousin, you can rest assured. I work for the prince. Although my official position is equal to that of my cousin, I am still slightly higher in terms of status. If my cousin is in trouble, you can come to me for help!"

As he spoke, he raised his chin slightly, his pride evident in his words.

When Si Ling saw his arrogant look, he couldn't help but want to take a picture of him looking so ecstatic.

She smiled slightly and said, "Look at my memory. Indeed, my cousin has been following the prince for a long time. He also went to quell the chaos before."

Sure enough, Si Shengwen's face suddenly became unstretched and cracks appeared.

But Si Ling didn't intend to let him go just like that, and continued quietly, "When I led the troops to the border town, I heard a lot about what happened before. It is said that when the prince put down the chaos, he always consulted his cousin's opinions.

The prince went there three times, each time ending in failure. The last time, the entire army was wiped out. The prince himself was also held hostage, and only his cousin was allowed to return to Beijing to report..."

"Oh, I don't know if this is true or not. If it is true, then my cousin must work harder in the future and assist the prince with all his heart -"

When his scar was uncovered in public, Si Shengwen felt cold all over his body.

Lin Cuiya was so angry that the corner of her mouth twitched, "Chengze, it's been so long, why did you have to bring it up at the family banquet?"

Si Ling blinked innocently, "I don't have to mention it, but it is an indisputable fact that I am stronger than my cousin, but my cousin actually used his official position to suppress me, because he thought the errands arranged by my uncle were not worth mentioning.

, if outsiders heard this, wouldn’t it mean that our Marquis Mansion has no rules?”

Hearing this, Si Linhan's face darkened again.

Lin Cuiya noticed it with sharp eyes, fearing that he would be angry, so she quickly explained, "Master, Sheng Wen didn't mean that, it was Chengze who misinterpreted it!"

Si Linhan glanced at Si Ling and his son with sharp eyes, and said angrily, "Although Chengze is only an errand in the Hanlin Academy, his strength is obvious to all!"

"Sheng Wen, don't be arrogant just because you accompany the prince. Look at the strengths of others and learn from your cousin's skills, so that you can better assist the prince!"

His father spoke, and Si Shengwen had to lower his head, "My son understands!"

Si Ruiying, who had been unable to interrupt because she didn't understand, saw her father scolding his own son but not Si Chengze. Her temper got worse again and she couldn't help but mutter, "Dad is so partial..."

"Rui Ying! You have no right to interrupt what your father is talking about!" Lin Cuiya stopped hurriedly, her eyes warning her not to cause trouble.

Si Ruiying was shocked by the yelling, and then she realized that the timing was wrong and shut up immediately.

Si Ling felt cold in his heart when he saw this.

At this time, the boy came to report——

"Sir, Guard Du from the Sixth Prince's Mansion is here and wants to invite the young master to come over."

Si Ling was confused. Why did he suddenly call her over at this hour? Besides, Xiao Linye had driven her off the carriage during the day.

There is only one possibility... Xiao Linye is sick again!

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Si Linhan order, "Chengze, go quickly and serve the Sixth Prince well and don't make him angry."

Si Linhan deliberately emphasized the second half of the sentence, and of course Si Ling understood what he meant.

Tsk, there was no need for him to remind her, she didn’t want to be crushed to death by that devil!

Seeing Si Ling leave, Lin Cuiya finally breathed a sigh of relief. The meal was full of smoke and smoke. Fortunately, the scourge was called away.

But Si Shengwen could not recover from his anger. His hands under the table tightly grasped the corners of his clothes, and he wanted to rush out and beat Si Chengze to death directly.

"Shengwen!"

The angry shout was like a wake-up call, making Si Shengwen's head buzz.

"The baby is here!"
