The number one spendthrift woman in the capital actually brings glory to her entire family?

The childish voice carried a hint of determination, which made Sikong Jin feel very gratified. She gently patted Sikong Mo's head and smiled, "Don't worry, Xiao Mo, your big brother will definitely make you a top figure in Dayong and even Fengyun. Even if you don't succeed, your big brother will still protect you and Mother. But Xiao Mo, your big brother still hopes that you can become a strong and upright man who can stand on your own without anyone's protection. Your big brother will teach you the best."

"Big brother, I will definitely work hard and learn skills to protect Mother with you."

Sikong Mo's bright, obsidian-like eyes were filled with confidence and determination. For some reason, he always saw hope in his older brother when he returned. It was as if with his older brother around, he was not afraid of anything and nothing could defeat him.

have a look--

As soon as my elder brother returned, the head of the family immediately made them move back to Crescent Moon House. Also, my elder brother seems to be very familiar with the manager of Hilton. When they brought over the bird's nest porridge and snacks, they were very respectful. In addition, last night my elder brother helped him win a lot of money, several thousand taels. When he handed it to my mother, she couldn't believe it.

Sikong Jin smiled and nodded, "Alright, then go to sleep. I'll prepare the herbs for your medicinal bath tomorrow. With me here, it won't be long before all the experts at Zhonglin Academy are defeated by you!"

After tucking Sikong Mo into bed and blowing out the lamp, Sikong Jin leisurely returned to her own bedroom.

After changing into a dry undergarment and sitting down to pour a cup of tea, the thrilling scene that had just unfolded in my mind kept replaying in my head.

"Di Beizun...it really is him?"

Sikong Jin felt a real headache and her head was spinning!

Ji Wuge had told Tang Jingyao to take the opportunity to visit the Crown Prince of Dibei, but little did he know that he had already offended him. It was not a big deal if Dibei Zun did not be on good terms with her, but if he took advantage of her misfortune, then Sikong Jin would be in real trouble!

……

The next day, Sikong Jin got up early as expected, practiced martial arts with Sikong Mo in the courtyard for an hour, casually tossed a few medical books to Sikong Mo, tidied up a bit, and went out to prepare medicinal herbs for Sikong Mo.

It was probably because it was a crucial time for the Emperor's birthday banquet, and everyone was very busy. They didn't even have time to ask Tang Jingyao and Ji Wuge for free drinks or to find courtesans. Sikong Shu and the others were nowhere to be seen either. She, on the other hand, had several days of leisure. Every day, she taught Sikong Mo martial arts, drank tea, and read books. In such hot weather, this was the kind of life that Lord Sikong had always dreamed of.

However, Lord Sikong still discovered something strange—every time he went out to prepare herbs for Sikong Mo or to visit Meng Benbo and the others, he always found someone following him. The person following him had no malicious intent, but simply followed him for several days in a row. Sometimes, he even sensed someone on the roof late at night.

Once, she couldn't help but get up and chase after it, only to see a small black shadow. Without even thinking, Sikong Jin could guess that it was the little beast!

I heard that its master's entourage has arrived in the capital. There are not many people with him, only about twenty people at most. Compared with the nearly one hundred guards of the Third Prince of Tiansheng, this Crown Prince of Dibei is really low-key. When he entered the city, the Emperor of Dayong learned that he had arrived in the capital of Dayong. The Emperor of Dayong immediately sent Prince Lie and Prince Ming to visit him, but this guy actually refused to see him. Ji Wuge, who was with him, even complained a few words to Lord Sikong.

However, Lord Sikong believed that Emperor Beizun was most likely not in the imperial palace or post station. This person was elusive, and his little beast had come to her place several times to steal the bird's nest porridge that Hilton had sent to Su Yue. Therefore, Sikong Jin guessed that Emperor Beizun was probably not in the capital of Dayong.

He won't be around for at least the next few days.

Of course, this matter was not as simple as a small animal following him. So, for safety's sake, Sikong Jin simply summoned the eight brothers of the Imperial Guard, along with the two deputy generals, Meng Benbo and Mei Ruhua, to the Sikong Mansion and had them stay at the Crescent Moon Pavilion. In any case, there were plenty of empty rooms at the Crescent Moon Pavilion.

So, Meng Benbo and his fellow unlucky bastards cursed and swore all the way from the Hilton Hotel to the Sikong Mansion, insisting that Sikong Jin refund their money.

"Sir, please give us our money back. We don't earn money easily. We're staying in such nice hotels, why did you send us here?"

Deputy General Mei wore a bitter expression and was reluctant to speak.

"That's right, sir! We've been with you for so long, you can't be so heartless as to cheat us like this! We've all spent money on this! It's been over half a year, and we haven't sent a single penny back to our parents. Just a few days ago, I even had to write to my dad asking for pocket money... This is the greatest disgrace to our Wangzhou garrison, sir... My dad probably doesn't even know how he's cursing you, you heartless dog of an official!"

Lord Sikong frowned, his expression serious, and his tone quite displeased. "You've been cursing all the way from the Hilton to here, haven't you had enough? As officers, your awareness needs improvement! No organization, no discipline! I am your superior, isn't my safety the most important thing? Besides, as officers, have you considered how bad it is for you to openly stay in such a luxurious hotel? I was severely criticized by my superior for this, and he made me write a 10,000-word self-criticism. You heartless bastards!"

"Sir, don't try to fool us. One look at that sly grin you gave us when you turned around just now, and we know you're trying to trick us again!"

"How many people would love to live in Crescent Moon Cottage but never have the chance? You should be content! My father lived here when he was alive. With your behavior, you're a disgrace to his upbringing!"

"How could such a resolute and upright man as Commander Sikong have given birth to such a despicable and shameless fellow as you? My lord, you weren't picked up by Commander Sikong, were you? Are you really his biological son?"

"Needless to say, it must have been picked up!"

"Yes! The commander-in-chief picked it up when the army crossed the Malan Grassland!"

"We have the right to question the authenticity of your bloodline, sir!"

……

One morning in June of the 466th year of the Red Moon Calendar, Lady Sikong had just changed clothes after practicing martial arts with Sikong Mo when she suddenly received an imperial edict from the Ministry of Personnel. The edict clearly stated that the Emperor had directly appointed her as the Vice Minister of the Ministry of War and instructed her to report to the Ministry of War the next day.

In the afternoon, Tang Jingyao and his wife Lan Zixi sent congratulatory invitations, and Ji Wuge also sent a congratulatory gift. In the evening, the strategist Zhu Si came to congratulate Sikong Jin. The Sikong was overjoyed, and the two went straight to the Hilton for drinks.

The Hilton Hotel was packed at this time, especially since most people of any standing or status dined there.
