Chapter 132 - 132: 130: Nan Tianzong Makes a Move: Sisi Enters the City
Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family
After a cup of hot tea, Liu Sisi felt alive again.
âYouâre saying that when Di Yelei left, someone with the nickname âDiao Shanbiaoâ identified him as the killer?â Nan Tianzong confirmed.
Clutching her cup tightly, Liu Sisi reluctantly nodded, âYes, Ye Lei told me himself, I wanted to ask more, but the governmental officeâs runners dragged him away. I chased after him, but couldnât outrun a fast horseâ¦â
âYou still donât believe youâre clumsy! Can human legs run faster than a fast horse?â
Unable to help himself, Nan Tianzong raised his hand and flicked Liu Sisi before standing up from his seat, âItâs still dark outside, Iâll go and find out for you. You rest in the shop and regain your energy.â
Her eyes instantly brightened!
âShopkeeper, do you have a way?â
Nan Tianzong glared, âI still know a few officials. If I had no ability, wouldnât it be just letting people underestimate me? Donât worry! Iâll go and move around. You rest assured and soon good news will come.â
âReally? Thank you, shopkeeper, thank you! You are my benefactor. If Ye Lei really comes back safely, I will definitely work hard to repay your life-saving grace!â Liu Sisi earnestly said.
âOh! How do you plan to repay me?â
He raised her chin with his folding fan, âHow about⦠repaying the debt with your body?â
Liu Sisiâs eyes suddenly widened, he actuallyâ¦
âHahaha! â¦Look how scared you are, Iâm just joking! I, Nan Tianzong, am charming, elegant, and gentle. What kind of woman canât I have? How could I be interested in dry-fried green beans like you?â
As they talked, his eyes flashed, retracted his folding fan, and deliberately looked her up and down for a while, sighing, âWhat a pity, such a pity!â
ââ¦â
Liu Sisi was speechless, whether he said good or bad things, they all came from him. She tightened her collar, completely unaware that such a movement was, in fact, an invitation to men.
âWhat are you looking at? Keep looking, and Iâll gouge your eyes out!â
âAlright, alright! Canât I not say it? You rest, and Iâll go out and arrange it. Weâll find out where your husband is as soon as possible.â His eyes became even more profound as he laughed and turned to leave, carefully closing the shop door.
Once the shop door closed, Nan Tianzongâs figure paused, it was all about him!
But when in danger, she came to look for him. It seemed that in her heart, there was still a place for him!
He couldnât help laughing! It had been a long time since he had taken action, had those people forgotten about him?
It was also time to use his skills!
Liu Sisi anxiously waited in the shop, her chaotic thoughts sinking with the passage of time. It seemed that there was a noise outside the door, and she immediately woke up.
The one who entered was Nan Tianzong!
âDid you find out anything? How is Ye Lei? Is he alright? Did they torture him last night? Did they remove his shackles? Heâ¦â
âStop!â
Nan Tianzong raised his hand to stop her continuous questions, âYou just threw out so many questions, which one should I answer first?â
Liu Sisiâs eyes were tearful, and she froze on the spot.
âDid you find out any result?â
âJust now, I passed by a breakfast stall on my way back and brought some of each kind back. You can try them.â Nan Tianzong said, taking out several kinds of snacks and placing them on the counter.
Liu Sisi shook her head, âI canât eat, just tell me the result.â
âIf you donât eat, I wonât say anything!â
Nan Tianzong crossed his arms, stubbornly looking at her. Afraid that she would go hungry, he had bought one of each kind of snack available in the small town. As a result, she didnât even look at them, it was simply a waste!
Liu Sisi stared at his face, seeing that Nan Tianzong was serious.
âAlright, Iâll eat.â
She didnât even look, just randomly grabbed a portion of breakfast and stuffed it into her mouth. The mouthful of mung beans choked her, tears rolling in her eyes.
âFool! Look at you, even eating breakfast can choke you! Donât worry! Iâve already greeted my friends, and they will make sure that your husband suffers less in prison.â He helplessly patted her back.
Liu Sisiâs eyes brightened instantly!
âEat slowly, Iâll tell you slowly while you eat.â Nan Tianzong quickly took out soy milk and placed it in her hand.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âI asked a friend to check it out overnight. Your husband was sent to the county government prison around the second hour of the night. Due to the late night, they didnât interrogate him. They probably wonât start a trial until this morning at the earliest.â
âThen you⦠Cough, cough, cough!â
She choked again because she was talking, coughing for quite a while before she caught her breath.
âDonât worry, Iâve already talked to the coachman at the carriage shop. Later, the carriage going to the county will take us along. Thereâs still time now, you eat well and wash up, then weâll go over and catch up when theyâre ready to start.â Nan Tianzong had arranged everything. Remembering that she had just misunderstood him, Liu Sisiâs face was hot and she lowered her head in embarrassment.
âThank you, shopkeeper. Iâ¦â
âIf you really want to thank me, donât call me âshopkeeperâ anymore.â
âThen what should I call you? Cultivated Talent Nan?â
âYou and I are friends, from now on Iâll call you Sisi, and you call me Tianzong.â Nan Tianzongâs eyes sparkled, making them seem closer.
Calling each other by their two characters was too intimate, wasnât it? What was he thinking!
âThatâs too impolite. When there are outsiders, Iâll still call you shopkeeper. When there are no outsiders, Iâll call you big brother, Brother Nan!â
Brother Nan?
Nan Tianzong frowned slightly dissatisfied, but soon let go, after all, one canât become a fatty by eating a meal!
âAlright! I just bought a set of clothes outside, they might not fit well, but letâs do our best for now. You finish eating first, then go wash up and change. Iâll wait for you outside.â Nan Tianzong spoke and left the bookstore, closing the room door again.
Outside the bookstore, there were shelves, a counter in the middle, and a small room in the back. The back door of the small room led directly to Aunt Caoâs planed noodles stall.
Sisi went into the small room to tidy herself up and was startled by the unkempt hair and unrecognizable color of the face visible within!
She really admired Nan Tianzongâs eyesight. It was pitch-black last night, and he could still recognize her like this.
She carefully tidied herself up and put on the clothes Nan Tianzong brought.
This was a hemp menâs shirt, and Liu Sisi recognized that this type of clothing was mostly prepared for house servants by wealthy families. He probably intended for her to pretend to be a house servant and sneak into the prison with him.
When Liu Sisi came out of the bookstore, Nan Tianzongâs eyes brightened, and a young scholar with delicate features and young age appeared before him.
A gleam flashed in his eyes, âLetâs go! Now is the perfect time.â
