Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family

Chapter 803: Chapter 803: Di Yelei’s Thunderous Fury! (10)

Ye Lei has entered the palace!

Liu Sisi’s faint smile could no longer be maintained.

Suddenly, a hand appeared in her vision, grasping both of hers, “Sisi, don’t worry. My dad, my grandfather—they go to court every day, and nothing will happen to them!”

Liu Sisi turned around and gratefully looked at Gan Miaoruo beside her, “Ruo Ruo, sister understands…”

Understanding one thing is a matter, but worrying is another.

By 9 a.m., Prince Luo, Di Hongyuan, and Lian Jue had returned!

...

“Sister-in-law, Eldest Uncle has come especially to congratulate you,” Di Hongyuan said with a beaming smile.

Liu Sisi quickly inquired about Di Yelei’s recent situation, “Imperial Uncle Luo, Eldest Uncle, how is Ye Lei? What’s the situation in the palace like now?”

“Princess Ruyu, please rest assured! Everything in the palace is calm. His Majesty has discussed achievements and bestowed rewards, granting ennoblements to all generals including General Di, one by one. They also gifted you a mansion, an untold number of gold, silver, and jade items, pearls, agates, and so on. Right now, His Majesty has insisted on keeping him by his side to talk, but he will be back later!”

Liu Sisi shook her head, “This wealth and honor are all external possessions. What I ask for is his safe return.”

Having these things like ranks and riches would be icing on the cake, but they are not vital for getting by—Liu Sisi viewed them lightly.

“Ah! Ruyu, you are now the wife of Marquis Yongping, a Madam First-Rank. Yet you say all are external possessions? Nevertheless, with your current status, they indeed are external possessions,” said Prince Luo beside her, jokingly.

As he finished speaking, everyone in the center of the scene was surprised, followed by a continuous stream of congratulations.

Even Thirteenth Luo stepped forward to congratulate, “Aunt, Thirteen offers congratulations to Aunt, sending felicitations to you.”

“Really, even you are teasing me?”

A blush spread across Liu Sisi’s face, and she couldn’t help but move forward to gently pinch Thirteenth Luo.

Thirteenth Luo had been calling Liu Sisi ‘Aunt’ in accordance with Madam Gan Senior’s order of birth. Her father, Prince Luo, was the sworn brother of the current Emperor, and technically she should be addressed as Elder Sister by him, but for some reason, Thirteen hadn’t changed the way he addressed her until now.

“Speaking of which, your brother truly is a formidable hero!”

Prince Luo sighed with some admiration, “Originally, when he was aggressively confronting others in the Golden Luance Hall, this prince was sweating for him. Fortunately, although he was furiously angry, he still remembered his duty. He also resolved the hot potato that could have become a problem later.”

“What happened? Could Prince Luo please elaborate?” Liu Sisi sensed this matter was vital.

Di Hongyuan smiled too.

“Third Sister-in-law need not worry about Third Brother. He just said that during the time of ancestral worship, he wanted to offer the finger ring from Jiajun’s hands to heaven. In truth, that was simply returning it to His Majesty,” Di Hongyuan commented with a sigh.

Liu Sisi raised an eyebrow, eliminating the cause of that trouble. From now on, there’s no need for the little guy to always be on tenterhooks, fearing that an “accident” might happen.

Everyone laughed, and after a while of jesting, Di Hongyuan then brought up the matter of escorting Liu Sisi back to the manor.

“We’ve troubled Prince Luo these two days. It’s just that Hongyuan and Third Brother have agreed to take the sister-in-law and children back to the Di Residence. In two days, he will personally visit to express gratitude for Prince Luo’s life-saving grace.”

Now, having just arrived in the capital city, Di Yelei was staying at the home of someone outside his own blood relatives rather than with his own brothers. This might cause rumors outside to run wild.@@novelbin@@

Prince Luo nodded in understanding and then humbly declined, “No inconvenience at all. I will help Princess Ruyu. It was just that I couldn’t stand Yang Yikun’s disgusting behavior and acted on the spur of the moment. It’s not worth Marquis Yongping personally expressing thanks.”

Although these words were pleasant, the deed of paying a visit to express gratitude was certainly to be done.

Di Hongyuan didn’t say much and immediately assigned servants to help pack for Liu Sisi and her four children.

Speaking of their luggage, they had arrived empty-handed, and naturally, they didn’t have much to take with them now. Instead, Prince Luo’s Mansion had sent countless gifts, filling an entire carriage that followed Liu Sisi and others back to the Di Residence.

When it was time to depart, Thirteenth Luo and Gan Miaoruo were reluctant, each holding one hand.

Liu Sisi’s eyes also turned red, “Don’t worry, once I’m settled, I’ll personally send you an invitation, and you must come.”

“Then let’s set it like that, after settling down you have to send me an invitation!”

Gan Miaoruo chuckled with a laugh, wiping the tears and said.

After another round of farewells, they finally boarded the carriage to return to the Di Residence.

Di Cheng had been waiting at the doorway early, and thankfully, the journey was safe, and everyone finally entered the residency.

Xiao Feng led Liu Sisi and the others back home, “Third Aunt, while you weren’t here these past two days, Xiao Feng took the liberty of rearranging the place a bit, making it similar to our hometown’s arrangement. I don’t know if you’ll like it or not?”

Due to his hidden ailment, Di Hongyuan had not taken a formal wife but instead had two recognized concubines in the house, which meant the Di Residence lacked a mistress. The household’s provisions were managed by a head steward, naturally not as meticulously arranged as by a woman. However, with Xiao Feng’s clever touch, the arrangement in the house bore some resemblance to those of the old home.

Liu Sisi looked around and heaped praise, “Good, very good, this arrangement is very similar to our old home. It feels right. By the way, where is young Di Cheng? Why isn’t he with you?”

“He is taking his midday nap right now; shall I call the nanny to bring the child over?” Xiao Feng spoke and was about to turn her head to call someone.

“No need, if the child is sleeping, let him sleep a while longer. It helps him grow faster.”

Her gaze fell on the three children. The triplets’ tiny heads were clustered together, babbling something incomprehensible.

Di Xuan was intently observing the little ones’ movements, engrossed in whatever he found so captivating.

On the other hand, YingEr had already gone to bed early. She had sent everyone out and, feeling extremely sleepy, had returned to her bed for a nap.

In her drowsy state, she felt an itch around her neck and subconsciously scratched it, turned over, and continued to sleep.

“Sisi, my Sisi, with things like this, won’t you wake up?”

The voice that seemed to only appear in dreams was so real that it made the corners of Liu Sisi’s mouth involuntarily curl up as she murmured in response, “Ye Lei, have you returned?”

“Yes, Sisi, I have returned. No! I should call you Ruyu.”

A deep voice rose beside her ear.

Such a familiar laugh! Liu Sisi lingered in bed for a while before finally mustering the strength to open her eyes.

In front of her was a face, enlarged, startling Liu Sisi herself! Not until she saw clearly who was in front of her did she suddenly scramble up.

“Ye Lei, you’ve returned? Ah! No, I should call you Marquis Yongping now.”

Di Yelei’s eyes narrowed dangerously. The fear in Liu Sisi’s eyes just now was legitimate, with no trace of deceit.

“What did you just dream about? You seemed so frightened.”
