Chapter 673: Chapter 673: The Noisy Second Room People
 

So, they discussed it for some time, and in the end, they almost bankrupted themselves to prepare a lavish gift and sent it over.

Swayed by the generous gift, the main Family did treat them with extra courtesy.

But who would have thought that the people of the main Family would turn their backs so heartlessly!

After the ancestor worship ceremony was over, they stayed at the main Family’s home for only a few days before the people there openly or discreetly started driving them away.

Who was Ms. Wang? She had originally planned to stay at the main Family’s home, so how could she be willing to leave so easily?

In the chaos, some trouble eventually broke out, and the group was directly seized and thrown out of the main Family’s home, rolling back to Upper Village in disgrace…

At the moment, Ms. Wang and the others were down to their last resources, not even having enough money to return to Macheng County. Finally, Ms. Wang gritted her teeth and took some spare clothes to the pawnshop to exchange for silver, adding the last silver ring to pay the coachman, only then managing to return to Macheng County.

And now, they were truly penniless, having not even a single copper coin…

Because they had no money, Ms. Wang had no choice but to turn her attention to the third family branch.

She had originally heard that Di Xuan had been injured, so she had brought some small items and snacks from home for him, but by mistake, she had entered Di Ying’s room, resulting in the current mess…

“Alright, such a person, hitting her is useless.”

A chill flashed through Liu Sisi’s eyes: “Ms. Wang, what did you see when you entered the manor today?”

Ms. Wang struggled to break free from the crowd, her face stained and hair scattered.

“I saw… what did I see? I… I didn’t see anything.”

Ms. Wang’s eyes rolled around in her eye sockets. Even if she were foolheaded, she would know by now that there were some things she shouldn’t say.

“Very well! You’d better remember what you said.”

Liu Sisi nodded; it seemed that the opposition was also quite tactful!

A murderous look flashed in her eyes: “If you forget, I don’t mind helping you remember. If a gossiping woman can’t remember what she said herself, I wouldn’t mind cutting off her tongue. What do you think? Are my words true or false?”

She approached her and looked down at her condescendingly.

Ms. Wang shivered all over. If it had been before, she would naturally not have believed it, but since learning Liu Sisi’s true identity, she dared not doubt it at all.

“True, true! Your words must be true!”

“Good. I hope your tongue stays where it is.”

After saying that, Liu Sisi turned to the old women nearby and ordered, “Search her thoroughly from head to toe. She’s not allowed to take even a single needle from the manor!”

“Yes, Madam.”

As the screams of Ms. Wang came from behind, Liu Sisi had already stepped into Ying’er’s room.

In the room, Old He and the medicine pageboy were busy, Di Yelei was sitting outside, waiting anxiously with a worried look on his face, and didn’t speak when he saw Liu Sisi enter.

It wasn’t until it was nearly dark that Old He finally came out after finishing with the needle.

“What kind of care are you giving the patient? How long will it take for her to recover at this rate?”

Old He’s dissatisfaction was evident, and only softened slightly when his gaze fell on Liu Sisi.

Di Yelei didn’t dare to argue: “This matter is indeed our negligence. Old He, Ying’er hasn’t relapsed, has she? What about her injury…”

“There’s no serious problem. It’s just that the rib that was originally reset has been struck by external force, causing her to feel short of breath and faint temporarily. With the presence of a divine doctor like me, there will naturally be no problem. Be more careful; I may not necessarily be around next time.”

After finishing, he sighed, “Young Ying’er has a weak constitution after her spleen was injured. You, as adults, must take care of her more diligently and attend to her recovery…”

Old He was also tired, and after saying this, he left directly through the curtain.

After exchanging glances with Liu Sisi, Di Yelei hurriedly went after him: “Old He…”

Liu Sisi went to Ying’er’s bedside and watched her still sleeping form, slowly sitting down.

Her hand gently stroked her face, and although the swelling on her little face had subsided, there was a dark bruise under her eyes. This was originally a matter of grudge between families, but this poor child had been forced to bear the consequences…

It seemed that she shouldn’t keep hiding it anymore!

That night, Di Yelei returned to his room with exhaustion, and Liu Sisi had already been waiting there.

“Huh? Why haven’t you slept yet?”

“I have something to tell you, so I’m waiting for you on purpose.” Liu Sisi did not hide her intentions, cutting straight to the point.

Di Yelei also had a lot on his mind and was deliberating whether or not to tell Sisi about Ruoning’s situation.

“How coincidental! I also have something to tell you.”

“Then why don’t you go first?”

“You first.” Di Yelei suddenly hesitated again.

Liu Sisi didn’t hesitate anymore and told Di Yelei about Yuan Mengbai’s situation, as well as what had happened today.

“So they were in your hands. No wonder my men couldn’t find them no matter how hard they searched.” Di Yelei realized.

“I knew you were looking for them; I deliberately didn’t tell you! Can you guess why?” Liu Sisi’s tone was somber, and she suddenly approached his face.

“It’s… it’s because I didn’t tell you about Ruoning’s whereabouts, right?”

Di Yelei grinned sheepishly, showing his trademark honest smile: “Sisi, it’s not that I didn’t tell you, it’s just that I’ve only found out about this situation recently and haven’t had the chance to talk to you, right?”

Liu Sisi raised an eyebrow: “No chance? We live together every day, and you’re actually telling me you had no chance?” Her tone was heavy.

Di Yelei hurriedly turned her body around: “No, Sisi, listen to me… ”

“Let go! I won’t listen!” She swung her crutch at his waist.

“Ah! Sisi… ”

“…”

“Sisi, Sisi… I really didn’t mean not to tell you. When I got the news about Ruoning, you were in confinement, and I didn’t want you to worry about it, so I deliberately hid it from you. Sisi!” Di Yelei hurriedly wrapped his arms around Liu Sisi’s waist, unable to shake her no matter how hard she struggled.

“Because you deliberately hid it from me, I had no defense and was caught off guard, if I had known earlier…”

If she had known earlier, she wouldn’t have thought to have Ying’er guard against Di Ruoning.

Liu Sisi’s eyes widened: “Do you know? I’ve already investigated, Di Ruoning’s madness is indeed cured, but her madness is the intermittent kind, and Yuan Mengbai has been holding a grudge because of it. On one occasion, he happened to meet the cripple Old Man Li, and at first, they were at odds, but not long after, the two realized that they shared the same plight and empathized with each other, eventually deciding to make a big move together.”
