Chapter 642: 642: Turmoil in Mid-Autumn Festival (9)

This silly girl has become more and more attached to Liu Sisi recently, completely forgetting who her real mother is.

“I don’t understand!”

Di Ying forcefully pulled her hand back, looked up at Di Xuan: “Brother, didn’t you always tell Ying’er that we should be grateful and repay kindness? What happened to you today?”

“You…” Di Xuan was at a loss for words!

He didn’t know how to continue the conversation.

He was somewhat shocked that Di Ying would say such things.

“Enough! Do you still remember who your real mother is?”

“I know, I know you miss our mother, Ying’er misses her too. But mother is mother, and Mom is Mom, they are two completely different people. Ying’er really doesn’t understand why you always have to lump these two people together?”

“Since you also said that they are two different people, why are you so good to her?”

“Because she is good to Ying’er, Ying’er can feel that she is genuinely good to Ying’er, of course Ying’er will be good to her!”

“Idiot, can you tell the difference between someone who is genuinely good to you and someone who is just pretending?”

He was about to be driven mad by her stubbornness!

Di Ying was also angry and couldn’t help shouting at him, “Brother, you’re so mean, so cruel! Ying’er will never talk to you again!” After saying this, she turned and ran away.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Ying’er, Ying’er!”

Di Xuan hurriedly shouted twice, but Di Ying was small and fast, so she quickly disappeared into the crowd.

Di Xuan was left standing by the moat with the lantern in his hand, lost in thought.

“Ying’er, was brother wrong? Was I…”

Since the two children ran away quickly, Liu Sisi didn’t pay much attention to them.

She and Di Yelei, along with their three children, closely followed Elderly Mr. Di, slowly following the crowd to the moat to release lanterns. The entire family, along with the familiar route they often took, casually strolled with the crowd.

Walking next to them were Di Cheng and his wife. Since the news of Xiao Feng’s possible pregnancy last night, the couple had been inseparable. Di Cheng was even afraid of Xiao Feng getting hurt when walking, protecting her as if she were a fragile chicken.

“Feng’er, be careful. Don’t get hit by the crowd. Your body isn’t like it was before.” Di Cheng kept repeating this.

“I know, Di Cheng, can you be more nagging?”

Xiao Feng felt like she was going crazy! She wasn’t being driven insane by anything else but Di Cheng’s incessant nagging!

“Alright, alright, I won’t say anything anymore. Is that alright?”

Di Cheng surrendered, looking at Xiao Feng with a silly smile on his face.

Before his words fell, someone nearby nearly bumped into Xiao Feng, scaring him pale. He quickly stepped forward to shield her.

“Feng’er, are you alright? It’s too dangerous outside, why don’t we go back? We won’t release lanterns.”

“Di Cheng! – Can you do it again? Huh!”

Xiao Feng was practically gritting her teeth in anger!

“This person didn’t bump into me, and with my agility, could he even bump into me?”

These two funny people made Liu Sisi and others on the side cover their mouths and laugh. They really couldn’t see that Di Cheng could be so irrational.

Elderly Mr. Di, Di Ah-bao and others on the side couldn’t help but laugh either, as they’d never seen Di Cheng like this before.

When they arrived at the moat, Liu Sisi lit the lantern and followed others by placing it on a small wooden board, then carefully placing it on the water. She watched as the river lanterns gradually drifted away.

Every lantern here had countless blessings and wishes written on it, accompanied by countless lanterns, floating along with the waves, flowing towards the distance.

She hoped that her wishes would come true! Liu Sisi prayed sincerely.

“Third Sister-in-law, what wishes did you make?”

Ms. Xin came over and asked with a smile, covering her mouth.

Liu Sisi’s eyes moved: “I naturally wished for good weather, family harmony and prosperity. What about you, sister-in-law?” According to the custom here, wishes made cannot be told to others, or they will not come true.

Ms. Xin’s smile froze for a moment, then she laughed as well: “Coincidentally! Cui’er did too.”

What she hoped for the most was to continue the bloodline for Ah-Bao, but she knew that there was no chance for that.

The two exchanged a knowing smile, with the deeper meaning visible in their eyes.

Watching the river lanterns gradually float away, they finally converged and flowed into the river at the entrance, and everyone slowly went back to the mansion.

Ms. Zhao was unusually quiet today, so quiet that it seemed like she had no presence at all. She silently accompanied Elderly Mr. Di. Even her habit of arguing with Liu Sisi in the past seemed to have changed.

“Eh! Why didn’t I see Ying’er today? I didn’t even see the kids like Xuan’er and Xue Yi.”

Liu Sisi noticed that Di Xuan and Di Ying hadn’t come and asked casually.

Xue Lan was originally going to look after Da Mao, but since Liu Zhi’er went back to the small town and it was inconvenient to come and go, Liu Zhi’er gave Xue Lan to Di Xuan and took a newly bought little maid back to the small town.

At the moment, not only were Di Xuan and Di Ying missing, but also Xue Lan, Xue Yi, and Le Ping. Where did these kids go?

Di Yelei looked back casually and didn’t find them either. He had noticed Di Xuan’s recent strangeness, but children grow up and have their own ideas, and as a father, he felt it was difficult to intervene.

“They probably walked a little farther away. There are so many people with them, so there’s no need to worry.”

“What happened? Did something happen?”

Elderly Mr. Di walking ahead asked curiously.

“Father, Ying’er and Xuan’er are missing.” Liu Sisi replied anxiously.

“Oh, I actually saw those two children. They went to the downstream area. We all walk back and forth on this road every day, so they know the way and there’s no need to worry.” Elderly Mr. Di wasn’t worried at all.

Di Ah-bao on the side couldn’t stand it anymore.

“I say, Third Sister-in-law, when the children grow up, you should let them be independent. Watching them come and go will make them feel like criminals. Is it necessary!”

He hates people who meddling in every possible way, and when he saw Liu Sisi asking about the two children, he immediately started ranting.

“Shut up! It’s not your place to talk.”

Ms. Xin beside hurriedly scolded him, then quickly walked to Liu Sisi’s side: “Third Sister-in-law, Ah-bao doesn’t make any sense when talking. Please don’t take it to heart! Since the children are missing, let’s send servants to look for them. It’s better to have everyone at ease.”
