Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family

Chapter 744: Chapter 744: Dangerous Situation
 

Elderly Mr. Di’s face bore injuries at the moment, but he seemed at ease when faced with the sarcastic remarks from his three main family members.

The three main family members were dumbfounded! The thickness of Di’s skin was truly impressive!

Although they clearly saw the Di Residence being besieged, even Elderly Mr. Di himself didn’t know how he was captured and released again. At this moment, he said such thick-skinned words that they were speechless.

Among the three who came, the old man ranked fifteenth in the order of birth, and his seniority was clearly higher.

“Humph! We came to the Di Residence this time, also to convey the Head’s decision.Right now, Lord Di has agreed to the clan leader’s proposal, so we hope he can resolve the matter as soon as possible so that the clan leader can be at ease.”

Liu Sisi stepped forward lightly, smiled slightly: “Three seniors, please convey to the clan leader that since Lord Di has promised, he will surely achieve what he has promised. Even if it requires the full strength of my Di family!”

When Elderly Di spoke, the three could still debate a few words. But when Liu Sisi advanced, the three of them immediately wilted. Previously, court ministers were speculating why the Emperor insisted on going south, and even Elder Di repeatedly mentioned this matter.

However, looking at what happened to the Di Family, it seemed that the Emperor would come to Gongzhou, and the very reason was the married woman standing in front of them.

Thinking about it, the three were even more afraid to go against, and they hurried to bow: “Prefecture Princess has exaggerated, we are just running errands. Your words will definitely be conveyed to the clan leader.”

Another one from the side spoke up: “Prefecture Princess, we just saw a pitch-black object dropped from the sky when we were in the room earlier… May we dare to ask, what is this object…”

Liu Sisi’s sharp gaze swept over them, a touch of murderous intent flashed in her eyes: “If you know it’s daring to ask, then why do you still speak? Go back! Tell the clan leader of the main family that he must not stand with the wrong side and refuse the wealth and honor that is within his reach by shutting the door.”

“Yes yes yes, we naturally understand, naturally understand!”

The three pushed and squeezed each other, no one dared to speak again. Seeing the atmosphere getting more and more embarrassing, the three of them hurriedly turned around and greeted Elderly Di with a fist.

“We’ve also been out for quite some time, so today we have to leave. Please take care of yourself, Sir, and we will take our leave!”

The three didn’t say much and bowed to Liu Sisi before they left in haste.

Elderly Di, who had been sitting upright, suddenly sagged down after the three left, releasing a series of violent coughs.

“They finally left! Cough… cough…”

Accompanied by Elderly Di’s violent cough, a large pool of fresh blood spattered on the ground, mixed with small chunks of pitch-black meat, frightening everyone in the room!

Liu Sisi’s expression changed dramatically: “Father! …”

–

Peach Blossom Village, true to its name, is a place planted with peach trees everywhere.

At the moment, it was not the season for peach blossoms to bloom, so there was no beautiful scenery to appreciate.

Since there was a wharf next to Peach Blossom Village, it wasn’t as peaceful as other small towns, and there were always people coming and going. Those who load and unload goods, travelers hurrying on their way, those disembarking to return home, the flow of people was endless.

In today’s Peach Blossom Village, there were particularly many guests. In front of the shops and under the eaves, there were many people standing or sitting everywhere.

They seemed like travelers, but they didn’t seem to be in a hurry to get on the road. When the villagers tried to sell them items, most of them rudely drove the villagers away and continued to stand there by themselves.

An old woman walked into the village from the village entrance of Peach Blossom Village, shaking her waist, and walked into the tailor shop after strolling around. It wasn’t long before she left the tailor shop with a large package and the shopkeeper’s profuse gratitude.

Outside Peach Blossom Village, there was peace and tranquility. The autumn cicadas made non-stop death cries, making people annoyed.

Just when everyone’s patience was about to be exhausted, a figure finally appeared at the entrance of the village.

“Go and see if there’s a tail hanging behind him.”

Di Yelei softly commanded the short man beside him. The short man complied and went away.

Despite his small stature, this little guard was born to be a scout, specially executing assassination tasks and being skilled at one-hit lethal techniques.

Quickly, the figure approached, allowing everyone to see that it was indeed Eunuch Xiao. However, at this moment, Eunuch Xiao was disguised as an old woman, carrying a large package and hurriedly walking over.

“Oh! This is so heavy! You all come over and lend a hand! This is really not a job for ordinary people…”

Eunuch Xiao grumbled as he walked.

The little guard quickly returned and helped Eunuch Xiao carry the package.

“Eunuch Xiao, give the package to me.”

Only then did the others crawl out from their hiding places and swiftly gather around: “How did it go? Did everything go well?”

Eunuch Xiao, however, tilted his head and snorted coldly, walking straight to Zhao Yuanlang and kneeling down: “Your Majesty, this old servant has fortunately not failed his mission and finally returned safely.”

Zhao Yuanlang’s expression became even more haggard: “What about Peach Blossom Village? Did you find anything?”

“Your Majesty, there are people in disguise everywhere in Peach Blossom Village. It is almost completely surrounded by Zhao Dun’s men. They carefully examine every traveler and passerby, not letting anyone go.”

“Hmm, Eunuch Xiao must have had a hard time.” Zhao Yuanlang’s voice was still gentle.@@novelbin@@

Di Yelei, however, heard a hint of weakness in his tone and immediately furrowed his brows.

Eunuch Xiao couldn’t help showing off: “But, this old servant luckily slipped away from under their eyes. Quickly, these are all clothes. You guys, go change into them!”

Eunuch Xiao happily took out the large package and handed out the clothes inside to everyone to change into.

Di Yelei did not rush to change his clothes. Instead, he took two steps forward and came before Zhao Yuanlang, clasping his fists in respect.

“Lord Father-in-law, I apologize!”

Before anyone could react, Di Yelei’s hand had already touched Zhao Yuanlang’s forehead. He then furrowed his eyebrows and took two steps back.

“How dare you! Di Yelei, what are you trying to do?”

Eunuch Xiao came rushing over when he realized something was wrong, but Di Yelei had already retreated.

“It’s alright. The Prince Consort meant well.”

Zhao Yuanlang waved his hand at Eunuch Xiao: “I am old now, and my body is not as strong as it used to be. I really can’t bear even a little bit of hardship.”

Di Yelei’s brows knitted together tightly: “Father-in-law, please don’t say that. It’s because you have lost too much blood and haven’t had enough rest that you’re having a fever. We must find a doctor to have a look.”

Excessive blood loss combined with an infected wound causing a fever is no minor issue. The slightest neglect could cost one’s life. There was no room for complacency.

“No need, where can we find a doctor in this desolate area?”

Zhao Yuanlang refused directly, and then suddenly he remembered something: “Right, the Prince Consort often travels in and out of the mountains, you must be familiar with various herbs to stop bleeding and reduce fever, right? Why don’t you treat me?”

“No!”

“This won’t do!”

“This is absolutely impossible, Your Majesty!”

Almost everyone unanimously objected.
