Chapter 724: 724: Hundred-Day Feast
Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family
She couldnât help but scream and struggle with all her might: âDi Yelei, you ungrateful bastard, you⦠Mmmâ¦â
Before she could finish her sentence, she was silenced by a servant, and thrown out of the princeâs mansion.
She fell heavily to the ground, taking quite a while to recover from the shock. Unable to raise her head under the mocking gaze of countless people, Ms. Wang roared at the top of her lungs.
âDi Yelei, how dare you treat me like this! Youâll regret it! Youâll regret it!â
Di Yelei at this moment was sizing up Ms. Tan, who had come with Ms. Wang: âAnd who are you?â
âIâ¦Iâ¦Iâ¦Iâ¦â
Ms. Tan was already so scared that her legs were trembling, and she couldnât speak a word.
âGuards! Throw her out too!â
Di Yeleiâs words extinguished the last bit of hope in Ms. Tanâs heart. She had originally intended to gain a good marriage, but now she had become enemies with him.
It was like trying to steal a chicken but losing rice instead.
âNo, pleaseâ¦â
Ms. Tanâs cries couldnât stop the servantsâ brutal actions, and they directly escorted her out of the princeâs mansion, causing her to join Ms. Wang in crashing into a pile on the ground.
âMs. Wang, you damned tortoise, itâs all your fault that I ended up like this! How can I make a stand in Macheng County? Iâll kill you!â
Seeing the cursing Ms. Wang beside her, Ms. Tan let out a furious roar and pounced on her, grappling with her.
âYou shrew, how dare you hit me?! Iâll kill you! You scoundrel!â
The two fought more and more fiercely, pulling each otherâs hair, scratching each otherâs faces, and battling together so intensely that it was hard to separate them.
Suddenly, the light in front of their eyes dimmed, and both of them let go of each otherâs hands and looked up in fear.
âWho are you guys? What do you want? Help! â¦Mmmâ¦â
Their cries for help had barely left their mouths when they were swept away by the wind.
In the garden.
Di Yelei quickly walked to Liu Xuerâs side and looked her over before gently asking.
âEldest sister?â
Di Yelei had never seen Liu Xuer before, but Sisi had once said that her three sisters looked strikingly similar. Today, a woman who looked 80% like Sisi but he had never seen before suddenly appeared, so she must be Sisiâs eldest sister, Liu Xuer.
At the mention of this, Liu Xuer hurriedly waved her hands, denying it anxiously.
âNo, no, no, Iâm not⦠I mean, Iâ¦â
âHuh! Why is everyone gathered here? Did something happen?â-
A clear voice rang out from behind.
Di Yeleiâs eyes lit up, and he hurriedly greeted her: âSisi, youâre just in time.â He leaned down and whispered into Liu Sisiâs ear for a moment.
Liu Sisiâs eyes swept over Liu Xuer, and her gaze immediately darkened.
âEldest sister, why didnât you go inside and sit when you arrived? With so many people coming and going, what if someone with no respect bumps into you? What would we do then?â As she spoke, she strode forward in two steps, reaching out to support Liu Xuer.
âSisi⦠Your elder sister has embarrassed youâ¦â Liu Xuer wished she could just crawl directly into the ground.
âNonsense! You are my older sister, how could you embarrass me? The fact that you could come today is already making Sisi so happy. Come on, letâs go to the inner hall and chat!â Liu Sisi happily held Liu Xuerâs arm and took her into the inner hall.
As soon as everyone left, the numerous guests buzzed with excitement, discussing the events that had just taken place.
The three sisters rarely had the chance to be together, and Liu Sisi was genuinely happy.
âEldest Sister, that Ms. Wang is really brainless. In the past, I didnât take action against her out of consideration for Ye Lei. This time, Ye Lei took matters into his own hands, and she certainly wonât be able to bounce back.â
Liu Sisiâs words made the two sisters laugh!
Liu Xuer also breathed a sigh of relief, but soon lowered her head again: âActually, I also blame myself for coming to my little nephewâs Hundred-Day Feast dressed so shabbilyâ¦â
âEldest Sister, your in-laws, theyâ¦â Liu Sisi wanted to say something but hesitated.
However, Liu Xuer didnât think too much about it and couldnât help but blurt out loudly.
âSister, didnât you take that silver money back last time? How come you donât even have a few copper coins left to buy a simple piece of flower cloth?â
Liu Xuer lowered her head, nervously rubbing her hands: âWhen I went back last time⦠I used the silver to hire a doctor for my brother-in-law. Iâm afraid his illness⦠it might be incurableâ¦â
Liu Xuer stammered and couldnât explain the situation for quite a while.
The brother-in-lawâs illness is tuberculosis that had been going on for many years, which is incurable even in the future. Itâs been dragging on day by day, not only making the patient tired, but also the others around.
Liu Sisi held Liu Xuerâs hand: âEldest Sister, since your brother-in-law is walking that path, what are your plans for the future?â
âWhat can I plan? My plan is to guard his tomb and serve our parents in peace until Iâm old after heâs gone. Iâll live a quiet life for the rest of my days.â Liu Xuerâs words were calm, like still water in an ancient well.@@novelbin@@
âEldest Sister, tell us the truth, you and your brother-in-law havenât actually slept together, right? If so, after heâ¦â
âSisi, my brother-in-law is a truly good man. Itâs just that his illness has burdened him. I know that in this life, I will never meet a man who treats me better than he does. Even if he dies, I am willing to be a widow and follow him forever.â
Liu Xuer tightly grabbed Liu Sisiâs hand, grasping it so firmly that it hurt.
Looking into her eyes, Liu Sisi noticed the determination deep within.
âSisi, since the Eldest Sister has already made her decision, letâs just let her be, alright?â
Knowing the circumstance, Liu Zhiâer, who was nearby, hurriedly intervened: âToday is supposed to be a great day, not just the tripletâs 100-day banquet but also for our rare gathering as three sisters. Tonight, we need to have a good meal to pay tribute to our sisterly bond.â
Liu Sisi gradually relaxed her expression and let go of Liu Xuerâs hand: âThatâs right. You two must enjoy a good meal today, only then will we do justice to our sisterly affection.â
Feeling relieved nearby, Liu Xuer said: âDonât worry, I wonât be polite with my own siblings.â
âBy the way, Eldest Sister, you havenât seen the triplets yet, have you? Letâs go, let me show you the little guys. They are quite the handful nowâ¦â
Liu Sisi became more excited as she spoke, and she got up to take the two of them outside.
Di Yelei unexpectedly came in from the outside, almost bumping into the three of them. Seeing that the three of them were still there, he breathed a sigh of relief.
âSisi, that person suddenly arrived. He would like to meet you three sisters and your mother-in-law. Do you know where she is? Did she come today?â
That person came?
Liu Sisi was flustered!
âMy mother came quite early today; I arranged for her to sit at the Liu Familyâs table, so she could have someone to chat with. I will have someone find her and bring her over.ââ
As she spoke, Liu Sisi quickly sent Ms. Gao away to find someone.
