Chapter 707: What's the harm in giving you a beautiful landscape?

Di Yelei felt a sense of urgency in his heart and quickly greeted with a fist, “Thank you for the reminder!”

Nan Tianzong shook his head: “Go quickly.”

Watching Di Yelei hurriedly running out of the mansion’s gate, Nan Tianzong couldn’t help but frown, hoping that nothing would go wrong today.

Today, the ones who came to Di family were Elderly Mr. Di and Ms. Zhao, along with two servants that Liu Sisi had sent to serve them.

However, even so, Di Yelei’s brow had never relaxed.

Ms. Zhao was really unreliable; she had to be told properly.

Soon, Zhang Peng and his family arrived at the doorway, as well as Di Cheng and his wife, Di Ah-bao, and Ms. Xin. Most of the people were already present, and the cooked dishes were already set on the table. Only Liu Sisi was still hiding in the living room and hadn’t come out yet.

Di Yelei was also exceptionally anxious, approaching Nan Tianzong’s side, “Brother Nan, do you think we should…”

Nan Tianzong looked up at the sky, then turned to look at those who were guarding the doorway of the living room. In the end, he still shook his head.

“Let’s wait a bit longer. That person’s identity is different from the others.”

Yes, let’s wait a bit more!

At the moment, inside the living room, it was not as full of clashing swords and knives as imagined outside. Instead, it was extraordinarily peaceful.

“Ruyu, you are my child. As long as I’m alive for one more day, you are the rightful princess of my Great Zhao. Gold, silver, pearls, and precious stones, as well as wealth and honor, I can command people to send them to your side as long as you desire! My Great Zhao Country, you can go anywhere!”

“Really! It’s just a pity that you’re not the first person to say this to me.”

Liu Sisi’s hands were holding the letter paper, her body trembling involuntarily. The content of the letter wasn’t much, and it seemed to be written hastily. Even the words at the end weren’t finished, and there was no signature. But Liu Sisi’s intuition told her that the letter was indeed written by her own mother.

“What? Could it be that someone else has said this to you before?”

Zhao Yuanlang was astonished now!

“That’s right! My big brother once told me that gold, silver, pearls and precious stones, as well as wealth and honor, he could bring them to me as long as I wanted. Elder Leisure also told me that I, Liu Sisi, would be free to go anywhere in the Great Zhao Country if I wanted. Tell me, isn’t it funny? Isn’t it funny? Haha…”

Liu Sisi couldn’t help but laugh, but tears also slid down her cheeks.

“Ruyu, I am sincere! You are my princess, and also Xin’er’s child. As long as you want it, not to mention obtaining it, my imperial throne and this country landscape, I will give it to you, right? Just say a word!” Zhao Yuanlang’s face was serious.

These words made an old eunuch standing at the doorway of the living room raise his eyes in surprise. He took a deep look at Liu Sisi and then quickly lowered his head, not daring to look up again.

“The country? Haha, what use do I have for your country? Can it bring back my mother’s life? Do you think I, Liu Sisi, care for your imperial throne? No! I don’t care, because I don’t need it at all!” To her, what was the difference between the throne and garbage?

Liu Sisi suddenly wiped away her tears and took a long sigh.

“Lin Xiner is dead, Ruyu is also dead, and now I am Liu Sisi, a member of the Liu Family’s Mansion!”

“Ms. Yao from Liu Family’s Mansion? She is just a lowly maid’s child who, by chance, followed and served Xin’er. She has the audacity to let you recognize her as your mother!”

Zhao Yuanlang slammed his palm heavily on the small table with a “bang.”

Liu Sisi was not afraid in the slightest: “Yes! She is a lowly maid, but she raised me! She allowed me to survive and live until today! But what about you at that time? What were you doing?”

“It’s because I had promised her that I would spare her life! I cannot break my promise to her. I have already let her down in a lifetime, I can’t let her down on her last wish too!”

Zhao Yuanlang also refused to show weakness and suddenly stood up from his chair and roared.

Both of them glared at each other with wide eyes, and nobody spoke again. Sparks flew in the air between them, accompanied by the sound of crackling.

After a while, Zhao Yuanlang finally eased a bit: “Trust me, I want to destroy him more than you do!”

Both of them knew who the “him” in his statement referred to.

Liu Sisi’s body softened, and her legs could no longer support her weight, so she fell back into the chair.

She muttered quietly, “Why did it turn out like this? Why, why, why…”

She happened to be reborn into this body, so why was it so troublesome and complicated? All she wanted was for her family to live a simple, peaceful life together. However, fate seemed to enjoy toying with her, always thwarting her desires. It led her further and further from that simple life.

As Liu Sisi’s mind was in turmoil, a large hand suddenly appeared on her shoulder: “Ruyu, don’t worry! I will personally avenge your mother. Have faith in me!”

It took her a while to lift her head and eventually, she slowly shook her head, folding the letter and putting it back into the envelope. She handed it back to Zhao Yuanlang.

“Since my mother doesn’t want to see you fight amongst yourselves, then…let’s leave it at that! Let the past be the past,” she said.

“Ruyu, you’ve grown up and become sensible, even stronger than your mother!”

Zhao Yuanlang sincerely smiled.

Xin’er, this is our daughter; she’s all grown up now. Can you see it?

Time passed like sand in an hourglass, and as noontime approached, the tightly shut doors of the living room finally opened.

Walking in the front was Zhao Yuanlang, who had red eyes as if he had been crying. The guards following him quickly caught up. Behind them, Liu Sisi’s eyes were swollen like walnuts, and her nose was red. Obviously, she had cried a lot.

When they saw them, everyone exchanged glances and hurried forward to greet them.

“Young Master Di, lunch is ready. Today is the Mid-Autumn Reunion Festival, why not eat something before leaving?”

Nan Tianzong greeted them with a fist.

Young Master Zhao Yuanlang looked at everyone, and finally cast his eyes on Di Yelei. He carefully examined Di Yelei from head to toe for a moment.

Di Yelei felt his body tense up under the scrutiny, not daring to move as he maintained his respectful gesture, without any signs of defiance.

After a while, Zhao Yuanlang nodded with satisfaction and praised him.

“So, you are the nephew of Elder Di? Very good! You have an impressive bearing and a strong sense of ambition, willing to work hard! Very good, very good indeed!”

Who was Elder Di?

Di Yelei’s heart was pounding as he stealthily glanced at Elderly Mr. Di.

Di Elder’s aura was too strong, causing Elderly Mr. Di and Ms. Zhao to shrink to the back without daring to show their faces.

But Nan Tianzong was good at reading situations. He hurriedly stepped forward to mediate: “Young Master Di is talking about Elder Di of the Di Family. He is a clansman and son of the Di Family’s clan leader. As Yelei is descended from Elder Di, it would be a good match for him to be with Prefecture Princess Ruyu.”
