Chapter 563: The Reunion of Husband and Wife

Although there was a storm raging outside, she was very happy in her heart for having accepted Di Cheng as her adopted son.

Once she got back home, she instructed Granny Hu to buy groceries and invited Liu Zhi’er and Old He to join them for a meal to celebrate the adoption of Di Cheng.

In the past, when the neighbors saw Liu Sisi and others, they would swarm over like bees. But at the moment, when they saw her walking by, they scattered as if she carried a contagious disease, keeping as far away as possible.

Liu Sisi watched them with cold eyes, not looking away as she led Di Cheng and Xiao Feng into the residence.

Soon the cooked dishes were served, and everyone enjoyed themselves without observing the usual formalities, chatting while eating.

On the other hand, Ms. Zhao, who sat on the side, had an exceptionally bad complexion. Seeing everyone talking and laughing, she knew that behind their smiles was hidden sorrow. Still, she felt a strong sense of unease in her heart! Deliberately, she picked up the bamboo chopsticks and scattered the dishes from the bowl all over the place.

“What’s all the fuss about? If you’re full, go away and stop bothering people!” Elderly Mr. Di left her no face.

Who was bothering whom, after all?

Ms. Zhao was also aggrieved! It was just a troublemaker, but he was treasured so much!

“Why… Why should I leave?”

Ms. Zhao threw down the bamboo chopsticks: “He’s just an ill-fated man who brought bad luck to his mother and wife. Previously, he only caused harm to himself, but now he brings the whole family into suffering. How unlucky I am…”

“You still speak! Have you made enough trouble? Do you think you are still the same as before? Don’t think I don’t know! To cover up the fact that you killed Dou Family’s wife, you deliberately framed Third Child for bringing bad luck to his mother and wife!”

Elderly Mr. Di became furious, and his words poked at Ms. Zhao’s sore spots without leaving her any face to spare!

Ms. Zhao’s face immediately collapsed. The bitterness in her heart was too hard to explain to outsiders.

So-called mending a broken mirror and coming back together was just a joke to her now!

After trying so hard for so long, she abandoned her dignity, her pride, and poured out her everything, kneeling and bowing three times before Dou Family’s wife’s grave.

What was it for? It was for having a companion, a support! But what about now? She lost so much, yet she gained only their eternal ridicule and growing distance.

“I didn’t kill her! How many times do I have to say it?”

Ms. Zhao could no longer hold back and yelled! Again and again, she held back without result, and now she could bear it no more!

“Old man, you’ve changed! You heartless thing! Did I say something wrong? For your Third Child alone, you ruined all of us! And you still won’t allow anyone to say anything! What kind of heart do you have?”

“My heart is my own conscience! How would a black-hearted person like you know?”

Elderly Mr. Di glared at her with a cold face.

Ms. Zhao’s arrogance gradually faded under his hateful gaze.

For the first time, she clearly realized: he hated her!

She slumped back into her chair, utterly disheartened. He actually hated her!

Di Cheng, who sat beside, moved his mouth as if to say something to help Ms. Zhao but was gently touched by Xiao Feng. In the end, he said nothing.

Liu Sisi continued to eat and chat with Liu Zhi’er next to her, showing no intention of speaking.

She sneered in silence, thinking that if Ms. Zhao could still not recognize the situation, she would suffer even more in the future!

As everyone was eating, Old Cheng rushed in rolling and crawling from the main entrance.

“Madam! Madam, there’s good news! Tremendous good news! The Lord Imperial Envoy personally issued an order that Old Master’s case was a wrongful one! He released Old Master and reinstated him to his previous post!”

Overwhelmed with joy, Liu Sisi’s head spun for a moment!

Unable to hold back any longer, she sprang to her feet and turned sharply to face him: “Are you sure you’re not mistaken? Where did this news come from?”

Liu Sisi could no longer care about anything else and turned and walked out, walking faster and faster.

“Absolutely true! There were several pieces of news about this all at once, and it’s impossible for me not to hear it all.”

Old Cheng hurriedly followed with a quick jog.

Di Cheng thought for a moment, then directly put down his bowl and chopsticks and caught up with the two in front.

After getting the gist of the situation from Old Cheng, Liu Sisi quickly ran towards the exit of the town! She had to see him, she had to see him right away!

At this moment, she couldn’t wait any longer!

When Ms. Zhao saw the current situation, she could hardly breathe due to the breath stuck in her throat, and after a long time, she couldn’t help cursing angrily.

“Such a debt-collecting ghost turned things around, a true indestructible cockroach, he…”

Slap!

Before she could finish, the elderly Mr. Di next to her raised his hand and, without a word, slapped her across the face, making a crisp sound.

Ms. Zhao was taken aback by the slap, covering her cheek in shock: “You… you dare to hit me?”

“I’m hitting you, yes!”

After Elderly Mr. Di finished speaking, he slapped her other cheek, sending her spinning in place and falling to the ground.

“Get lost! My Di family can’t afford to support you, a big Buddha. Stay where it’s cool!”

After saying this, he also leaned on his crutch and quickly followed Di Xuan and Di Ying.

“Madam, get in the carriage, Old Cheng will take you there!”

Old Cheng quickly ran towards the stable, and soon drove the carriage to catch up.

Liu Sisi was panting as she ran, and her stomach was starting to hurt at this moment. Hearing this, she didn’t hesitate and quickly climbed into the carriage, lifting the carriage curtain and crawling inside.

“Hurry! Let’s go to the county!” Liu Sisi ordered loudly.

Ye Lei! Ye Lei, are you okay? I really miss you! I want to see you right away!

Di Cheng, who was following close behind, didn’t hesitate to climb into the carriage and sit in front.

“Alright! Madam, please take a seat.”

Without a second word, Old Cheng quickly raced the horses.

Just as they ran out of the town entrance, several galloping steeds approached from the front. Spotting the carriage, they hurriedly stopped. Several figures jumped off their horses and surrounded the carriage.

“Madam, Old Master is back!” Old Cheng yelled in surprise.

Liu Sisi saw him, and before the carriage could come to a complete stop, she leaped off the carriage.

“Be careful!” Di Yelei cried out in shock! He quickly rushed forward, grabbing her right before she fell to the ground and tightly embraced her, his heart pounding in his chest.

Liu Sisi did not notice the danger at all, her eyes were only filled with him. Seeing him perfectly fine in front of her eyes, she couldn’t hold back the excitement in her heart and plunged directly into Di Yelei’s arms.

“Ye Lei!…” Her voice trembled, and her whole body shook uncontrollably!

Don’t be fooled by her calm and poised demeanor while directing people these days to deal with various aspects of the situation.
