Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family

Chapter 538: Chapter 538: Sharing Life and Death
The figure in the shadows emerged, with a faint smile on his face, as if saying the weather today was very nice.

“If the fires can’t destroy everything, it will only come back stronger with the spring winds!”

“Lord Xin Quan, you are always so worried about everything!”

County Magistrate Su’s face was fierce: “He has already left us with no way out, why should we care about his life? Isn’t there a Gan Jiayou protecting him from above? When our Lord brings him down… hehehe! By then, this Di Yelei will be like a toothless tiger, let’s see how arrogant he can be!”

As he was talking, he walked outside with his hands behind his back.

“But my feeling is that it’s not merely that. Even if Gan Jiayou wants to protect him, he himself is just a pawn of the Fourth Prince, so what power can he really have? The Seventh Prince and Fourteenth Prince would not sit idly by while their enemies grow stronger. I feel like there’s a bigger hand hidden behind the scenes, secretly guiding the course of events…”

As Xin Quan spoke, his five fingers turned, tightly clenching into a fist in the air before retracting it.

The worry in his brows did not lessen.

Even County Magistrate Su felt a bit uncertain: “No way! He’s just a lucky bumpkin. He grew up in Upper Village; how could he possibly have any background? Don’t scare yourself!”

His words were more to comfort himself.

Xin Quan’s brows still didn’t lift, and he hesitated: “Has Zhang Shixin taken action on the other side? Should we tell him to slow down? After all, this is not a small matter; if we’re tracked down, no one will be able to cover for us!”

“The other side started yesterday; anything you say now is too late!”

County Magistrate Su rolled his eyes: “Don’t think about leaving a way out for yourself. We have to rise from the ashes! Since we’re all dead anyway, why not fight for it? Maybe we can find a way out!”

These words finally made Xin Quan resolve his decision.

He slapped a stone pillar beside him with his hand and turned his head abruptly!

“Alright! Just as you said, we’re all dead anyway, so let’s fight!”

…

After leaving the official residence, Liu Sisi went straight to the city gate, and left the city. Instead of going straight home, she went to rest at the manor for a moment, and then continued on her way home.

As soon as she entered the door, she saw Di Xuan leading Di Ying with a look of innocence.

“Xuan’er? Are you out of school so early today?”

“Who said I’m out of school?” Di Xuan looked innocent.

“Mom, brother didn’t go to the village school today.” Little Ying beside her hurriedly chimed in.

Di Xuan pulled Di Ying behind him: “Who asked you to butt in?”

“So you didn’t go to the village school today? Who allowed you to skip school so casually?”

Di Xuan looked embarrassed: “Why should I go to school? To let the other students laugh at and humiliate me? Or is it that this is exactly what you want to see?”

Liu Sisi narrowed her eyes slightly and looked Di Xuan up and down in surprise: “Xuan’er, do you know what you’re saying? After all this time, is this still who I am in your heart?”

Di Xuan clenched his teeth tightly, thinking of the humiliation he had suffered at school today, he could no longer control himself!

“I don’t know what kind of person you are. Don’t think that with my father dead, this family belongs to you and your son! Don’t forget, my father has not only me but also my younger sister! It’s not your turn to call the shots!”

Liu Sisi raised her eyebrows: “Who told you these words? Who is instigating?”

Di Xuan tightly closed his mouth, and Liu Sisi turned her gaze to Di Ying, who subconsciously dodged her gaze and whispered softly: “Mom! It’s Second Aunt…”

“Shut up! It’s not your place to speak.”

Di Xuan forcefully scolded Di Ying while giving her a vicious glare: “Second Aunt is right! You just want to keep our Di family under your control, take all the silver in the house, and let Dad rot in prison!”

“Xuan’er! What nonsense are you talking about?”

A scolding voice suddenly came from behind them. It turned out Elderly Mr. Di was right behind them, looking at Di Xuan with a gloomy expression.

Di Xuan’s momentum suddenly weakened: “Grandfather…”

Elderly Mr. Di glanced at Di Xuan and looked at Liu Sisi.

Sisi, come in for a moment.”

After he finished speaking, Elderly Mr.Di leaned on his crutch and turned around to walk inside. However, after a moment, he looked back at Di Xuan: “Silly Child! You’re not young anymore, you should have some discernment now.”

“Yes, Dad.”

Liu Sisi didn’t bother with Di Xuan and Di Ying standing behind her and jumped over the two to enter the room.

“Sisi, sit.”

Elderly Mr. Di pointed to a chair, sat down first, and put his crutch aside.

“Father, is there anything you want to talk to Sisi about?” Liu Sisi obediently sat down.

Elderly Mr. Di was silent for a long while before he sighed softly: “Don’t take Xuan’er’s words to heart. Since you are his mother, do as you see fit in disciplining him. Dad fully supports you.”

This surprised Liu Sisi, and there was genuine astonishment in her eyes.

She originally thought that Dad had called her in regarding Ye Lei’s matter and was pondering how to respond. Unexpectedly, it was about Xuan’er’s matter.

She forcibly suppressed the bitterness in her eyes and whispered.

“Dad, don’t worry, Sisi knows what to do.”

“Hmm, as long as you know.”

Elderly Mr. Di smiled in satisfaction and thought for a bit: “As for Third Child’s matter, Dad believes that you will not do anything harmful to him. If you need anything, and if the silver is not enough, Dad will borrow or beg for it.”

“There’s no need for that, Dad.”

Liu Sisi took a deep breath, storing up her emotions: “Right now, Ye Lei’s matter is not something that can be solved with money. Dad, don’t worry, I will save Ye Lei from the prison at all costs, even if it means sacrificing my life! I swear that I will not allow him to be framed by evil people!”

Her words were powerful and resounding!

“Good! Dad will wait for your good news.” Elderly Mr. Di breathed a sigh of relief.

When Liu Sisi was leaving the room, she couldn’t help but look back at the elderly man: “Dad, if Sisi can’t save Ye Lei, I will follow him in life and death, even if it means going up the mountain and down to the ground. In that case, Dad, please take care of our family.”

Her words were soft, but they made Elderly Mr. Di shudder.

A wave of tears instantly filled his eyes.

“Alright, alright! Good…”

But Liu Sisi smiled. She stepped out of the room and closed the door behind her before heading towards her room.

How could she let Di Ye Lei be in trouble?

Although she didn’t visit Di Ye Lei in prison, she naturally knew who was really responsible for his situation!
