Chapter 592: 592: Visitors from Mom's Home
Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family
âBrother-in-law just left, and according to the rules, he is the one who should personally send a letter to your maiden home. Thatâs the purpose of his trip. Before leaving, he repeatedly told me to take good care of you, and the medicinal soup and chicken soup have been prepared. Would you like me to call someone to bring them in?â
âNo need, I want⦠I want to go to the restroomâ¦â
The playful tone in her words made Liu Sisi feel somewhat awkward and embarrassed, followed by anxiety.
âOh, donât move! Iâll call two maids in. Just be careful not to hurt the wound again.â
Liu Zhiâerâs face was full of anxiety.
She couldnât even continue comforting the little one in the cradle, and hurried outside to call in the maids.
Did she have to be so delicate?
Liu Sisi couldnât help but smile bitterly, but she understood that she shouldnât push herself too hard.
Outside, a long line of people had come to offer their congratulations. However, Lord Di had given instructions early on to accept only good wishes and return any gifts.
Di Yelei at this moment was busy checking the items that needed to be taken away.
Three jars of glutinous rice wine, one hen and two roosters, a large basket full of red-shell eggs, three lengths of red cloth, three strings of money, several bags of noodles, and assortments of candies and pastries⦠The reason for having three of everything was, of course, because Sisi had given birth to triplets.
Odd bits and pieces of things piled up, filling up two large carrying poles.
Di Yelei prepared two sets of identical items!
The reason was simple: not only did he have to go to Liu Familyâs Mansion to share the good news, but he also had to go to Heilong Mountain. Although the other party must have received accurate news already, itâs a courtesy that couldnât be ignored.
Seeing that everything was ready, with the red cloth tied on the carrying poles and even the pole with a red string attached, Di Yelei led several servants behind him, carrying the poles and walking outside.
As he stepped out of the door, the crowd knew he was going to inform the brideâs family and gathered around to congratulate him.
Di Yelei smiled so widely that his white teeth showed, returning the greetings to everyone who came to offer congratulations, not stopping with his fist greetings.
It was already 9 a.m to 11a.m by the time he finally left the South City Gate.
As soon as Di Yelei left Macheng County through the South City Gate, Di Ah-bao, Di Cheng, and Zhang Peng entered the city through the west gate.
Everyone naturally went home to find their mothers. Di Ah-bao and Mrs. Xin were like newlyweds after their short time apart, full of love and affection.
And the fact that Di Yelei took a shortcut through the mountain road to return early had also gained him a lot of praise. People said that he was a good man who could be so attentive and careful with his wife!
Liu Sisi only learned about the return of Di Ah-bao, Di Cheng, and the others when Liu Zhiâer told her later. But at the moment, she could only stay lying in bed during her confinement, unable to go anywhere or see anyone.
She didnât know the details of Di Yeleiâs visit to her maiden home, and he didnât elaborate on what happened.
However, Ms. Yao returned along with Di Yelei.
The meeting between the mother and her two daughters after half a year was under such circumstances.
Ms. Yao had no idea about Liu Zhiâerâs divorce, and she was shocked to see her here. After asking for more information, she finally learned about what had happened. The mother and daughter cried together.
âThis Cao fellow doesnât look like a good man at all! I didnât agree to the marriage proposal back then. If it werenât for your big brother being impressed by the generous dowry they presented, you wouldnât have been married to them. This is truly a tragedyâ¦â Ms. Yao cried her heart out.
Liu Zhiâerâs tears also couldnât be held back, streaming down her face without stopping.
âMom, donât cry. You should be happy for Zhiâer. From now on, Zhiâer and Da Mao will no longer have to worry about being bullied by him.â
âThatâs true, thatâs trueâ¦â
Ms. Yao kept agreeing, wiping the seemingly endless tears from her face.
âBut what about Er Mao and San Mao? These two poor childrenâ¦wuu wuuâ¦â
Ms. Yaoâs crying was like an unbearable wailing sound. Liu Sisi turned her head to the other side, trying hard to adjust her mood. Itâs said that the quality of breast milk becomes bad after being upset or sad, which could cause the baby to have a stomachache!
Over there, Liu Zhiâer had persuaded Ms. Yao for a long time, and finally got her to stop crying and calm down.
When there were no more people in the room, Ms. Yao moved to sit next to Liu Sisi: âSisi, about that matter with your big brother, you must not take it to heart. I⦠I apologize on his behalf; he was wrongâ¦â
Liu Sisi raised her eyebrows in surprise!
âDonât worry! Iâve long forgotten about that; you donât need to worry.â She had resented him before, but after learning her true identity, Li Susi actually felt relieved! Everything made sense now.
âIf youâve forgotten, thatâs good⦠thatâs goodâ¦â
Ms. Yao was genuinely happy, but after thinking for a moment, she couldnât help but say: âSisi, since you donât hold a grudge about that, can you let your brother off this time? I promise, from now on, he will never appear in front of you again; I swear!â
Ms. Yao couldnât help but raise her hand.
âMom! I said I donât hold a grudge, why are you still talking about forgiving or not? Isnât that too much?â
âYou⦠you donât know?â Ms. Yao looked very surprised.
âWhat do I know? Or what should I know?â Liu Sisiâs eyes rolled, questioning further.
âNo, nothingâ¦â Ms. Yao seemed evasive.
Liu Sisi sighed, closed her eyes and said, âMom, has anyone ever told you that youâre terrible at lying?â
âYes, yes⦠Your brother was not only had his leg broken but also kicked out of Macheng County. They⦠they said if he dares to come back, they would take his lifeâ¦â Ms. Yao spoke haltingly and hesitantly.
After a brief thought, Liu Sisi understood what was behind Ms. Yaoâs evasive gaze.
âWas it my father who forced you?â
It was Liu Sisiâs first time saying âfatherâ in front of someone, and she wanted to test Ms. Yaoâs reaction.
Ms. Yao was shocked, almost falling off her chair, her legs trembling uncontrollably.
âYou⦠you⦠already knowâ¦â
Ms. Yaoâs voice became fainter and fainter.
âWhat do I know? What should I know?â
Liu Sisiâs mouth curled with a sneer: âShould I know that my biological parents are different from yours? Or should I know that you were originally a concubineâs daughter in my momâs dowry?â
Thatâs right! Liu Sisiâs birth mother, Lin Xiner, and Ms. Yao were sisters, one a legitimate daughter and the other a concubineâs daughter intended to solidify their motherâs favor!
However, the former Crown Prince appeared unrestrained on the surface, but he was deeply in love with Lin Xiner. He never touched a hair on Ms. Yaoâs finger! In order to have Lin Xiner to himself, he found a nearby family and married Ms. Yao off.
