Chapter 516: 516: Sisi Learns her Life Story, Heaven’s Will Narrates the Reasons (1)

Liu Sisi’s gaze was unfocused for a while, then suddenly smiled at him.

“Ye Lei, I had a nightmare…”

This statement made Di Yelei’s body stiffen, and he subconsciously tightened his arms, comforting her softly.

“Don’t be afraid! It’s just a nightmare! Sleep some more, and you’ll feel better once you wake up.”

“Alright.”

Her throat was in pain, and her voice was rough. In the midst of her splitting headache, she allowed herself to drift back into unconsciousness.

Liu Sisi slept deeply, and by the time she woke up from her dreams, it was already two days later.

She didn’t know that because of this accident, she had indirectly changed countless people’s lives!

Even her own life had undergone a complete transformation as a result!

“Ye Lei…”

Without even opening her eyes, Liu Sisi called out Di Yelei’s name directly.

“Madam, you’re awake? Madam is awake! Hurry, go inform the Old Master that Madam has woken up!”

The excited voice of Ms. Gao sounded beside her, followed by the sound of someone running quickly.

Finally opening her eyes, Liu Sisi saw Ms. Gao, filled with joy, handing her a bowl of medicinal soup: “Madam, you finally woke up. Please drink this bowl of medicine.”

“What time is it now? How long have I been asleep?”

She sat up supporting herself from the head of the bed.

Wasn’t she on Heilong Mountain? How did she return home? She seemed to remember being…

Ms. Gao had already brought the medicinal soup to Liu Sisi’s lips: “Madam, drink quickly. You have been asleep for two days, and it has worried the Old Master terribly. He just went out with Young Master Nan and should be back soon.”

Yes! She vaguely remembered being saved by Ye Lei in her daze, as well as the events in her dream.

She obediently drank the medicinal soup while dealing with an overwhelming amount of disordered thoughts in her head. It felt as if she had gained many memories that did not originally belong to her, causing a splitting headache.

When Di Yelei entered from outside, he saw Liu Sisi leaning against the head of the bed with a troubled expression on her face.

“Sisi, how are you feeling? Is your throat still hurting?”

He quickly walked over and embraced Liu Sisi in his arms.

“Ye Lei…”

Seeing Ye Lei, Liu Sisi felt a sense of relief, hugging him tightly and burying her head in his chest.

The husband and wife held each other quietly, feeling a sense of comfort spreading in their hearts.

“Ye Lei, how did you get out? I went to the county, and they said…”

Suddenly remembering something, she hurriedly broke free from his arms and anxiously examined him.

“Sisi, don’t worry. You’ve been asleep for two days, and your husband was worried sick. First, eat some food to fill your stomach, and we can discuss the rest later.”

As he spoke, he ordered the servants to bring the cooked dishes: “I was worried you’d wake up hungry, so I asked the kitchen to prepare food at all times. Eat up.”

Soon, Granny Hu brought the food and set it up.

The food was simple, plain rice porridge and a few simple dishes that looked very appetizing!

“Ye Lei, tell me first, I’m not hungry …”

As soon as Liu Sisi smelled the fragrance, her stomach timely grumbled, making her feel embarrassed.

Di Yelei laughed heartily, and effortlessly picked her up and placed her in front of the table.

Liu Sisi’s head hung so low it was dangerously close to the bowl, and the roots of her small ears turned red!

“Eat, don’t just stand there.”

Di Yelei chuckled while picking up food for her, clearly in a very good mood.

Liu Sisi finally raised her head and glared at him before picking up her bamboo chopsticks to eat.

She hadn’t noticed while talking, but the moment she picked up the chopsticks, she realized how empty her stomach was. She ate three bowls of plain rice porridge before putting down her chopsticks, still not quite satisfied.

“Can you tell me now? What’s going on? Weren’t you locked up in the county government prison?”

“Who did you hear about me being locked up in the county government prison from?”

Di Yelei asked in return.

“I went to the main entrance of the armory, and a short soldier told me.”

“You were deceived. I was never locked up in the county government prison.”

Only then did Di Yelei explain the events of that day.

“… A sub-captain is a seventh-rank official, and a County Magistrate is just a regular seventh-rank official. According to imperial edicts, officials who break the law can only be tried by the Court of Judicial Review. Even if they were truly guilty, it would be the imperial court that sends someone to try them. There’s no way a mere seventh-rank County Magistrate could set up a private court…”

Liu Sisi slapped her forehead in annoyance. Wasn’t that the truth!

Her worry had clouded her judgment!

“Why didn’t you come home that night?”

“Because County Magistrate Su asked your husband to assist in investigating a case.” His eyes were bright, a flash of intelligence quickly passing through them.

Liu Sisi gave him a sideways glance: “Who are you trying to fool? Tell me! What did you do?”

She knew he had gone into the trap fully aware, and she would never believe that he didn’t have a backup plan!

Di Yelei laughed heartily and took the opportunity to hug Liu Sisi in his arms: “It’s still my Sisi who understands your husband. I simply took advantage of my time at the county government to check on those so-called people.”

“Did you get any results?”

“What do you think? Is there anything your husband can’t accomplish?”

Di Yelei’s mouth curled up, his face full of smugness.

“You…”

Only then did Liu Sisi finally breathe a sigh of relief!

At this moment, she realized that her trip to Black Dragon Mountain had been completely unnecessary.

“Who said it wasn’t necessary! It’s very necessary; at least it solved the long-standing confusion in your husband’s heart.”

It turned out that Liu Sisi had unwittingly spoken her thoughts aloud.

“What do you mean?”

“Don’t worry, wait until you meet this person, and you’ll understand.”

Di Yelei smiled mysteriously.

Nan Tianzong entered immediately after Di Yelei’s words fell.

When he saw Liu Sisi leaning weakly against Di Yelei’s chest, a trace of heartache flashed through his eyes.

“Sisi, how are you feeling now?”

Seeing Nan Tianzong here, surprise crossed Liu Sisi’s eyes, and she quickly struggled out of Di Yelei’s embrace. She couldn’t help but glance back at Di Yelei. She still remembered how he used to get angry at the sight of Nan Tianzong in the past, but today, he allowed the man into the inner chamber.

“I’m fine! Brother Nan, what are you doing here?”

After some thoughts, Liu Sisi looked at Nan Tianzong and suddenly remembered some of the madman’s words.

“I came specifically to see you. Seeing that you’re fine now, I can also be at ease.”

Nan Tianzong’s face carried a smile.

“Really? Brother Nan, sit down, don’t just stand there.”

If they could coexist peacefully, it would be even better. Liu Sisi quickly invited Nan Tianzong to sit: “Right, have you eaten? Would you like some cooked dishes?”

She lowered her head to look at the leftovers and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
