Chapter 4: Turning Traps Into Weapons
"That's great" Si Chao and the Old man smiled thinking their plan succeeded, little did they know that their plan had already been exposed.
Their joy didn't last long when they found Si Yaning behind the Curtains.
"Yan Yan, Why are you here?"
"Grandpa, didn't you want Master Sheng to be responsible for me?"
she replied innocently standing behind Fan Sheng.
"What?Is it you who slept with him?" They both were shocked to see her in place of Si Yao.
"What do you mean by that?"
" Who else should be here if it's not me?" She acted innocently.
"What do you mean?" Old Si responded in a stern expression.
"Master Sheng liked me from the time he first saw me and I have also fallen for him"
"What..? He likes you" Si Chao is shocked to hear her response.
Panic surfaced in their eyes as they couldn't find Si Yao in the room.
"Si Chao lit the candles" He commanded his grandson.
As the lights spread they saw Si Yao lying on the floor.
"Sister what happend?" Yaning went to care for her sister.
"Old Si, What is your eldest granddaughter doing in my room?" His tone instantly filled with anger as he asked him.
"How will we know?" The old man replied in panic.
"If you don't know, why did you come into my room?"
"That.." Before The Old Si could complete Si Chao interference.
"We heard some strange noises from your room, So we came to find you to protect our sisters" He replies in an instant.
"Then why did she end up in my room and how do you know she is here?"
"How will we know that, we thought you forced her" Si Chao replies and his voice starts to feel guilty.
"Because you clearly want to find her in my bed" Fan Sheng confronts them.
Old Si understands their plan has been exposed and tries to coax him.
"Young Master, you are going to be our Son-in-law now. Since we are all going to live together, shouldn't you ignore things like this?"
An evil smile rose on Fan Sheng's face.
"Why should I and when did I say we are a family?" he responds arrogantly.
"You are marrying my sister, that makes my grandfather your elder. Shouldn't you respect your elders?" Si Chao questions him.
"You want me to respect you, are you even worthy?"
"What is that question?" he confronts him
"Also when did I say I am marrying your sister?"
"What do you mean?"
"I am going to take her as my concubine"
"What…?" Their faces instantly turned pale with shock.
"We won't agree with her to be a concubine" Old Si objected to his decision.
"Why should I care about what you think?"
"You are just a commoner and I belong to a noble family, do you think your family is worthy?"
"No, we don't agree" Old SI replies sternly.
"Why should I care, I already slept with him and she agreed to be my concubine"
"What? She agreed" His sharp replies shut his words.
"Yan Yan, did you really agree to be a concubine? Are you mad?"
"Grandpa, Master Sheng is so nice and I am okay to be his concubine" her reply frustrated them even more.
Just then Si Yao woke up.
"You.., how dare you make me unconscious" she approached to confront him.
Fan Sheng slapped her face which made her fall on the ground. Blood flowed as she hit her stomach.
They all froze as she bled. Tension filled the room.
"You want to give my name to this nameless bastard. Dream On" His revelation gave a big blow to her.
"No.. No.. I am not pregnant" the blood on the floor proved the reality of her statement.
"I could file a complaint against you in the court for your doing, do you want me to do that?" He slammed her with his words.
"Young Master, please calm down. Even if you are making my granddaughter your concubine. We are still a family, don't you think you are being so harsh"
"So what?, I just want to punish her for her crimes. Is there something wrong?"
"If you do this, How can we live together after this"
"Who wants to live together with you?"
"What do you mean?"
"What I mean is , This is my house and you have no right to live in my house"
"Yan Yan, convince Master Sheng" Si Chao asks her to plead with him.
"Brother, I am just his concubine and we are commoners. How can I convince him?"
"You…"
"Master sheng, if you drive us away, we will take Yan Yan with us" Si chao tries to blackmail him.
"Do you think she will follow you?"
Fan Sheng and Si chao looks at Yaning
"Brother, since I have decided to be his concubine. I must follow Master Sheng"
"You choose him over your own family?"
"Brother, didn't father always say that a daughter doesn't belong to the maternal family after her marriage. I am just following him"
"Young Master, Why don't we just end this here. Yao Yao might have entered your room by mistake" he signals her.
"Yes.. yes.., I just wanted to make sure you are all right" Yao Yao follows her grandpa's lead.
They don't want to explode themselves in the eyes of outsiders anymore and they are about to leave.
"Yao yao Just Apologize Young master"
"I am sorry for disturbing Master Sheng, My Apologizes" she then tries to leave with her family.
"Wait, did I say you can leave?"
"What more do you want us to do, Master Sheng?" Si Chao Questions in a flustered manner.
"I want to be compensated"
"For What?"
"You have ruined my image in front of outsiders, how can I face them from now on?"
"But we don't have anything to offer you," The Old Si replied.
"Yes, But you guys are here right?"
"What do you mean by that?"
"Don't you want a place to live, i can let you guys live with me but in return you should sign a slave contract with me"
"What? Why should we become your slaves?"
"If you don't want to then i will file a complaint against your family in the court"
"But if we sell ourselves to you what should we eat and how can we earn money?" Si chao questions him.
"Don't worry, I will feed you and provide you with shelter and even pay you your labor wages but you should sign a slave contract with me"
"Young Master, I don't think we can accept this"
"If you don't then i will complain against your family in the name of defamation and get you all arrested"
His serious tone made them accept his demands reluctantly.
"Grandpa, I don't want to.." She pleads with him.
"Lets just go with what he said for now, later on we can think of some other plan" The Old man tells Si Chao and Si Yao.
Then you, Si Chao and Si Yao, all three of you should sign this slave contract.
"What? Why should we? Isn't it just our sister who defamed you?"
"Yes She tries to defame me but you both are also equally involved in this. If you don't want to then i will take this to the court"
He made them sign the slave contract with him.
