Chapter 293: So You Were in the House at That Moment

Seeing her coming in, he smiled and greeted, “The food… is ready.”

“Father, you should take a break too. Don’t tire yourself out,” Liu Sisi said, taking off her straw raincoat and bamboo hat.

“Alright, alright… I know.” Father smiled and kept working on his weaving task as usual.

YingEr was rolling around on the temporary little bed, playing with a ribbon flower in her hand. As soon as she saw Liu Sisi coming, she immediately dropped the ribbon flower and ran over: “Mom! Where have you been? YingEr couldn’t find you…” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“YingEr, be good and let go of Mom. I’m dirty and wet, be careful not to get your clothes damp.”

“I won’t let go! YingEr misses Mom.”

YingEr clung to Liu Sisi’s thigh, unwilling to let go, rubbing against her insistently.

Xuan’er was sitting not far from the brazier, still reciting from her book. Hearing YingEr’s coquettish voice, she couldn’t help but look back and laugh.

Everything was so peaceful, warm…

Out of nowhere, Liu Sisi suddenly felt relieved and smiled!

Even with the heavy burden on her shoulders, the warmth of her family could break through all the pressure, giving her a sense of satisfaction from the bottom of her heart, making her feel all the pressure had disappeared, and her entire body relaxed.

“Hmm! Mom misses YingEr too. Be good, let go quickly. Mom’s got cold water all over her.”

Liu Sisi gently patted YingEr’s hair, then took some clean clothes and went to the bathroom to change.

Then she quickly boiled the medicine and took it to Liu Zhi’er.

As soon as Liu Sisi pushed the door open, she saw Liu Zhi’er lying flat on the bed, staring blankly at the top of the curtain, not moving at all.

“Second Sister, how do you feel? The medicine is ready. Drink it first, and I will bring the cooked dishes to you later. By the way, is there anything you need?”

Liu Sisi handed the bowl of soup medicine to her. Only after she saw her finish drinking the soup medicine did she continue to speak, taking the empty bowl.

“Take off your coat, and I’ll apply the medicine for you.”

Liu Zhi’er didn’t say much, just looking at her with a deep gaze.

A moment later, she leaned on the head of the bed to sit up, silently taking off her clothes, and sitting on the bed in just a bellyband.

Liu Sisi didn’t notice Liu Zhi’er’s inquisitive gaze. She carefully cleaned the wound on her skin according to Zhang Peng’s instructions, then picked up the ointment and applied it delicately.

“This ointment was given by Brother Zhang. It’s his family’s ancestral formula and has a quick healing effect on wounds, with very little scarring. Because of your injury… I really couldn’t ask anyone else to see it. Brother Zhang is a familiar person, so you don’t have to worry about him gossiping…”

Not only did Liu Zhi’er have a very serious abrasion on her wrist, but the injury in the most private part of a woman’s body was even more severe!

It is evident how evil Old Man Li is!

As Liu Sisi applied the medicine for Liu Zhi’er, cursing Old Man Li in her heart, her eyebrows furrowed.

With her gentle touch while applying the medicine, Liu Zhi’er’s body kept trembling. She raised her head and saw the pity in Liu Sisi’s eyes, and suddenly a nameless anger surged through her.

“Enough! Let me do it myself.”

She grabbed the ointment and immediately covered herself with a quilt, burying her face inside.

Liu Sisi’s expression darkened, and she lowered her head to pick up the dirty laundry on the ground: “Apply the medicine first! I’ll go wash these clothes and bring food to you.”

There was no response from the other side.

Liu Sisi sighed, and thought it was enough! Today’s events were enough!

She turned and left the room, heading to the kitchen. After soaking the clothes, she started eating. When she figured that Liu Zhi’er’s ointment should have been applied by now, she brought the cooked dishes into the room.

Liu Zhi’er was lying on her side in bed, not saying anything when she came in.

“Here! I’ve brought you food. Eat more, so your wound will heal faster.”

As she spoke, she handed the bowl and chopsticks to her.

Liu Zhi’er withdrew her gaze and looked at her for a long time, her deep eyes inscrutable.

Only when Liu Sisi could no longer maintain her smile did Liu Zhi’er sit up and accept the bowl and chopsticks, slowly eating.

Liu Sisi sighed inwardly: “You shouldn’t feel too bad, either. Now, the most important thing is to heal your injury. Once you’re better, everything else can be discussed.”

“Enough! Liu Sisi, are you annoying or not? Disgusting or not?”

As she spoke, she slammed the bowl and chopsticks onto the bedside cabinet: “Our conflict as sisters isn’t just a one day or two days thing. Now that I have been reduced to this, there’s nothing valuable on me for you to take advantage of. Why pretend to be so friendly?”

Liu Sisi looked at her in surprise: “What, what are you saying?”

She never expected that the original Liu Sisi and her second sister had a bad relationship!

Liu Zhi’er looked at her contemptuously, scrutinizing her from head to toe: “It’s amazing! You’ve just married, and it’s as if you’ve become another person. Weren’t you arrogant before? Weren’t you determined to marry a rich man in the future? Now? What gives you the right to pity me, despise me, and look down on me?”

These words made Liu Sisi anxious!

“Second Sister, I, I had a high fever, and I completely forgot everything. You are my second sister, I have no… ”

“You have no? No pity for me, no disdain for me? Or no contempt for me? I, Liu Zhi’er, don’t need your pity! Get out! Get out of here! Get out! ”

Suddenly, Liu Zhi’er yelled at her like a madwoman!

With a flick of her hand, the bowl and chopsticks on the bedside table fell to the ground.

Clang! Smack

The bowl shattered at Liu Sisi’s feet, scattering the food all over the floor. The splattered soup had also managed to splash all over her.

Liu Zhi’er didn’t hold back her anger, she furiously shouted and grabbed the pillow, pillowcase, and quilt from the bed, tossing them under the bed!

Not caring about the leftover mess on her body, Liu Sisi quickly tried to hold the furious Liu Zhi’er.

“Second Sister! Listen to me, please, just listen!”

Liu Sisi was extremely anxious and unable to tell anyone about her own situation. She could only stick to her story: “Second Sister, I really had a high fever and forgot everything that happened before. You can ask anyone in the village about it, I have no reason to lie about this!”

Liu Zhi’er wasn’t listening at all. She suddenly jumped off the bed, completely ignoring her bare feet as she stepped on the floor and desperately pushed Liu Sisi.

Liu Sisi kept defending herself, urgently trying to explain.

“Get out! Get out of here! It’s all your fault! You’re lying! If you didn’t know me, why would you have come to my room door in the first place? When you got to the door, why didn’t you come in and save me? Why didn’t you save me… Liu Sisi, I hate you! I hate you!”

These words left Liu Sisi stunned!

Initially, she had indeed gone to Old Man Li’s house to look for her, but the room was too dark and quiet, so she left.

“So… you were in the room at that time… ”

Liu Sisi could barely stand, deep regret rising from her heart.
