Chapter 568: Doubt

Liu Sisi was not unfamiliar with everything in front of her and quickly understood many things.

She originally thought that she had been commanding the people inside Li Sect all along, but it seemed that Di Yelei might have contributed a lot too.

“It’s nothing. You all get up!”

“Thank you, miss. Thank you, son-in-law.”

Everyone stood up in unison.

Di Yelei took Liu Sisi and sat in the main seat, waving to the people below.

“All right! Go do what you should be doing, and report any news at any time!”

“Yes, son-in-law!”

Everyone left in unison.

Liu Sisi was astonished!

“I never thought you could command them too!”

Her words were somewhat sarcastic.

“Are you angry? In fact, when you were unconscious, Tianzong was worried about your safety, so he handed these Li Sect brothers over to me to command. So…”

Di Yelei smiled casually.

“So that’s it.” Liu Sisi was not angry, she just said it casually.

“Come! I’ll take you to a place.”

Although he had been here many times, he might not have been in that room.

Liu Sisi happily led Di Yelei out the door and walked towards the hut in her memory.

As the room door was pushed open, there was nothing on the wall that originally hung the beauty profile. Instead, there was a vigorous calligraphy ink treasure hanging quietly on the wall, as if mocking Liu Sisi’s naïveté.

“Sisi, did you bring me here to see this writing?”

Di Yelei scratched his head awkwardly: “I’m really not good at these, I don’t know if this writing is good or bad.”

“No! There was originally a beauty profile here, a woman who looks nine-tenths like me…”

As she spoke, Liu Sisi’s mind also moved.

Maybe the beauty profile was taken away by Brother Nan?

“Beauty profile? What kind of beauty is it?” Di Yelei looked down at her.

Liu Sisi suddenly didn’t want to pursue the painting matter anymore.

“It’s nothing, just a beauty. What, do you want to see it?”

“Of course, I want to see it. But the person your husband wants to see the most is you…” As he spoke, Di Yelei raised his hand and directly scraped her little nose, making Liu Sisi feel painful.

“Don’t do that!”

Liu Sisi glared at him.

“Really! Come, let’s see what good things are in this room.”

When Nan Tianzong handed this place over to him, he was in a hurry. Although he used here as a temporary hiding place, he had never carefully examined the huts in the courtyard.

As he spoke, he quickly and carefully searched. With his search, wow! It turned out that there were several secret passages in this room, and it was unknown how deep they were and where they led to.

The two just took a brief look and then withdrew.

“It’s not early today, and it’s not good to find a wine-house to rest at the moment. Going back to Liuping Town is even more troublesome. It’s better to stay here for one night than running around.” Di Yelei said generously.

Liu Sisi did not object, as she was indeed tired.

This room was quite nice, so the two of them decided to rest here for the night, and head home after daybreak tomorrow.

At night, Liu Sisi was sleeping in a daze and faintly heard the sound of Di Yelei giving instructions to his subordinates outside.

Liu Sisi struggled a few times and finally managed to open her eyes. As expected, Di Yelei was not in the room, and without guessing, he must be outside giving some instructions.

Liu Sisi tiptoed to the window and looked up at the outside, immediately recognizing a woman standing with Di Yelei.

As it was night and only a side profile backlit, she couldn’t see the woman’s face clearly.

“Arrange this matter, and instruct those who act to be quick. At this moment, there’s no time to worry about anything else.”

“Yes, son-in-law.”

The woman obediently replied with her eyebrows down.

“Ye Lei! Ye Lei… ”

Liu Sisi called out twice, and Di Yelei, who was talking, turned his head.

His face clearly showed happiness, then he waved at the woman, gesturing her to leave quickly.

The woman looked at Di Yelei with tears in her eyes, resenting that his attention was captured by the figure inside the window, and feeling very angry.

Di Yelei truly lived his life carelessly.

“Sisi, hurry back to bed. It’s quite cold outside, and you can’t be reckless anymore.”

After a short while, Di Yelei turned around and walked back toward the room Liu Sisi was in, still carefully instructing her.

In the end, he even thoughtfully closed the room door for her.

“It’s not a big deal being in the room! There’s morning dew outside, and at this time, the outside is too damp to be exposed. I was so tired just now that I didn’t even know when you went out.” said Liu Sisi, a bit annoyed.

“Stop it, I deliberately chose to go out to give instructions when you were asleep. I don’t want to be separated from you. Sisi, do you understand my feelings?”

“Of course, I also hope that we can be together forever.”

Lamenting, Liu Sisi buried her face in Di Yelei’s arms.

In her mind, she kept replaying the earlier scene of that woman clinging to Di Yelei like a delicate bird, and Liu Sisi felt like her entire body was not well.

Di Yelei took the opportunity to embrace her and then lay back down together with Liu Sisi, acting as her back pillow.

His tall and sturdy body was below her, and her body was on top of him, the round and rolling belly not harmed at all.

“Come on, hurry up and get up here, the ground is cold.”

Di Yelei hugged her tighter and pulled the quilt over them again.

“Ye Lei, who was that woman just now?”

Liu Sisi asked as she gently drew circles on Di Yelei’s chest with her hand.

She did it on purpose!

Watching Di Yelei’s face turn bitter as he grabbed her mischievous little hand, she even laughed!

She knew that his chest was his most sensitive area!

“What are you thinking? That woman came specifically to deliver information. She’s an upright and incorruptible official of Yihong Courtyard, and she’s the one who sent the latest news, so naturally I had to go out and meet her. You, don’t think about these irrelevant things, haven’t I promised you that I will never let anyone come between us in this lifetime?”

“Alright! That’s what you said yourself!”

Liu Sisi’s tone was indifferent.

She was not a fool and could see that Di Yelei didn’t want to discuss this matter further. However, that was not her intention.

Before closing her eyes, she thought that she should carefully investigate who the woman she had seen earlier was tomorrow.

Being entrusted with an important task by Brother Nan, that person might not be so simple after all.
