Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family

Chapter 800: Chapter 800: Di Yelei’s Thunderous Fury! (7)

The three children were frightened and exhausted yesterday, and they didn’t wake up until the sun was high in the sky.

On the other hand, someone was sent early to the Assistant Minister Di’s Residence. When Liu Sisi woke up, Di Cheng, Di Xuan, and Di Ying had all arrived.

Other than that, Elderly Mrs. Di had also come in person to Prince Luo’s Mansion, and her appearance in the side hall with Princess Consort Luo gave Liu Sisi a small shock.

Of course, Elderly Mrs. Di had come to pay a visit to Prince Luo’s Mansion! Not only did she come herself, she also brought several misses from the manor. Her arrival truly surprised Liu Sisi, but after thinking about it, she realized the key to this matter and couldn’t help but admire the cunning of Elderly Mrs. Di!

“Mom! Mom, are you okay?”

Di Ying rushed in from outside and directly ran into Liu Sisi’s arms.

...

“Mom is fine, and your siblings are also fine. YingEr, don’t worry. And you? Are you alright?” Liu Sisi hugged Di Ying, her gaze fixed on Di Cheng and Di Xuan.

“Mother, rest assured, everyone is fine.” Di Cheng hurriedly answered.

After speaking with the children for a while, Liu Sisi looked up and saw Elderly Mrs. Di watching them with a smile on her face. She then pushed Di Ying away, tidied herself up, and went forward to greet Elderly Mrs. Di.

“I pay my respects to Elderly Mrs. Di.”

Although Liu Sisi’s status was now much different, a married woman belonged to her husband’s family. Elderly Mrs. Di was the head of the Di Family, and Liu Sisi was her junior, so she naturally wouldn’t be disrespectful.

“Please get up quickly. We are all family; there is no need for so much courtesy.”

Elderly Mrs. Di personally helped her up and looked at her with affection, her expression a stark contrast to when Liu Sisi first met her.

“As long as you are safe and sound, I am happy! In the future, don’t be so indulge in play. Just look at the trouble you caused for Prefecture Princess Luo by staying in Prince Luo’s Mansion last night.” Elderly Mrs. Di hinted.

Thirteenth Luo, who was next to them, smirked: “Elderly Mrs. Di, what are you talking about? For Aunt to stay in Thirteenth’s residence is something I wished for.” The cheeky tone in her voice made everyone present laugh.

“Thirteenth is such a sweet talker! This child has become more and more well-behaved! And she is growing up so beautifully, who knows which lucky man will get her in the future!”

Elderly Mrs. Di’s eyes brimmed with joy.

Princess Consort Luo, beside her, quickly joined in the conversation: “Thirteen is indeed a well-behaved and steady child. Unfortunately, she fell ill a few years ago and had to postpone her marriage. Fortunately, she has fully recovered, and many have come to propose marriage. It has made me, her mother, worry so much!”

As she spoke, Princess Consort Luo laughed, her gaze occasionally shifting toward Di Xuan.

“A grown-up daughter really brings endless worries. In the future, you’ll have to take care of them as the Princess Consort!”

“Isn’t that the truth! In the blink of an eye, these little ones have all grown up.”

Princess Consort Luo didn’t dwell on the topic, casually saying: “Considering that it’s not early already and lunchtime is approaching, why don’t we all dine here? How about it?”

“That sounds wonderful, I shall respectfully comply.”

In the Zichen Hall.

Zhao Yuanlang stormed into the main hall in a fit of anger.

“Your servant pays respects to Your Majesty.”@@novelbin@@

Empress had already received the report and hurriedly led everyone to the entrance of the main hall to greet them, only to be startled by the other party’s pitch-black face.

Zhao Yuanlang’s heart was already suppressing a ball of raging fire, and as soon as he saw Empress’s disgusting behavior, his anger could not be held back.

“What’s the matter? Do you expect me to help you personally?”

A look of mockery appeared on Zhao Yuanlang’s face.

“Sixth Son!”

Empress’s face was full of sorrow, with two distinct tear stains.

“Sixth Son, last night it was indeed me who found the female thief, who also killed a palace maid in Wende Hall and stole a large number of antiques and jade. And the dead palace maid was Princess Consort Virtue’s confidante, she came to me for help, and I had no choice but to go! After that, those things happened.”

“Enough! Do you really think that you can pull off any big tricks under my watch? I can give glory to your Yang family, and I can also take it back and bring you down to your original state! Go ask your elder brother, how he should answer me?” Zhao Yuanlang looked disappointed as if he was resentful that iron didn’t turn into steel.

“But, but…”

Empress cried woefully with shame: “I know that Your Majesty looks down on the Yang family, and even more so on my behavior. However, I am, after all, a daughter of the Yang family. When my brother Yikun failed, he came to me for help, and I had no choice but to promise him safety. It really is, it really is…”

As she cried and sobbed, Zhao Yuanlang’s face twitched a bit, showing a trace of impatience.

“Ha! You seem to have some face in front of your family, but at the cost of the imperial bloodline! I’ve been tolerant and forbearing towards you because of our childhood friendship, but what have you done? You’ve been calculating every step of the way, involving even me, without considering my face or the other princes’ faces. What exactly do you want to do?” Zhao Yuanlang reprimanded severely, obviously extremely angry.

“Your Majesty, I was wrong! I shouldn’t have been softhearted, but he is, after all, my brother! Your Majesty…”

Empress grew more and more emotional, unable to help herself from covering her face and sobbing softly.

Zhao Yuanlang’s eyebrows furrowed tighter and tighter. Was she pushing all the blame onto Yang Yikun? Even though he knew Yang Yikun must be in the main hall right now, he had no intention of summoning him.

Empress wanted to continue, but Eunuch Xiao had already come running up quickly: “Your Majesty! Good news! General Di has returned to the court, reportedly he is already thirty miles outside the imperial court, and he has submitted a letter requesting an audience with Your Majesty.”

Di Yelei has returned to court? Is this really “good news”? What a coincidence!

He had no more time to argue with Empress, replied casually with two sentences: “See? Di Yelei has already returned to court! You tell me, if Di Yelei knew that such a thing happened just one night before he returned… what would he do? And what about you?”

What would he do? The situation is a failure now, and Empress dare not think further.

“Your Majesty! …”

A desperate radiance flashed across Empress’s face with these words.

“In the next few days, you better stay quietly in your sleeping palace and don’t go anywhere else. Otherwise… Humph!”

Zhao Yuanlang waved his sleeves and left Zichen Hall directly, heading towards the main hall in haste.

“Your Majesty…”

Empress’s desperate call could not hold the hurried footsteps of His Majesty.

Zhao Yuanlang hurried forward, not bothering to look at Eunuch Xiao, “How is it? There’s no trouble over there, is there?”

“The ministers over there are still debating, and most of them have not left the palace, they are making a fuss in the court. Shall we…?” In Zichen hall, Eunuch Xiao rapidly chased after His Majesty’s footsteps, and the two hurriedly rushed towards Zichen Hall.
