Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family

Chapter 566: Chapter 566: Taking You to Watch a Great Show!
The carriage came to a halt in front of a grand mansion.

Liu Sisi lifted the carriage curtain and looked down, before exclaiming in surprise. This was indeed the official residence of the County Magistrate Su.

“Ye Lei, why did you bring me here?”

It wasn’t her first time at Su County Magistrate’s residence, and to be honest, she had no fondness for this place at all.

“Naturally, I brought you here to watch the fun. Don’t worry, we probably have to wait a bit.”

Di Yelei immediately let down the curtain, took Liu Sisi in his arms, and jumped straight out of the carriage.

Before they even approached the County Magistrate’s residence, they could hear the cries of despair and pleading coming from inside. The guards who were originally at the entrance, however, were nowhere to be found.

“This way! Let’s go in from the outside and take a look.”

Di Yelei wasn’t the least bit uneasy about trespassing; instead, he quickly led Liu Sisi past the main entrance.

“Hmm! What’s going on here? Isn’t this the residence of Su County Magistrate? Did I go to the wrong place?”

Inside the entrance, several concubines’ cries for mercy echoed one after another, with a deeply tragic tone. The County Magistrate Su brushed off his sleeve, and bitterly prepared to leave. Mrs. Su’s face still held a vicious smile that had not yet faded.

Di Yelei’s sudden outcry stopped the Su County Magistrate in his tracks, and he turned around abruptly, looking at the two who had just entered with surprise.

“It’s actually you… ”

The Su County Magistrate spoke through gritted teeth, as if he wished he could swallow Di Yelei whole.

Di Yelei raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled: “Isn’t it me?”

True to form, Su County Magistrate was such an old hand in officialdom. In just a moment, his expression eased, and he suddenly burst into laughter.

“Di Yelei, oh, Di Yelei, so you came to my residence at this moment to watch me be humiliated? You’re too naive! How could I possibly let you have your way?”

“When did I ever say I came here today to watch you be humiliated? You’ve really guessed wrong. I came to add insult to injury!” Di Yelei didn’t bother to hide his intentions at all.

“Hmph! It’s a shame! Today, I’m afraid I’m going to disappoint you!”

Su County Magistrate gnashed his teeth.

Di Yelei casually glanced at the crying concubines nearby, unconcerned, and spread his hands: “It doesn’t matter, as long as my wife and I can go out for a walk, it’s worth it!”

As he spoke, he smiled at Liu Sisi and gently shook her little hand.

The couple’s eyes met in mid-air, and a warm current flowed through their hearts, making Liu Sisi understand what he meant by watching the fun.

One had to admit, Di Yelei was truly cunning!

Su County Magistrate could no longer maintain his smile. He turned and glared at several concubines and then looked at his wife beside him, running out of patience: “Di Yelei, thirty years in the West River and thirty years in the East River! My loss today doesn’t matter. Let’s see who gets the last laugh, and who laughs the longest! Hmph!”

“That’s something I should be saying to you.”

Di Yelei let go of Liu Sisi’s hand, took a casual step forward, and lazily glanced at him: “Are you still harboring illusions about the Garrison Commander of Gongzhou City? Perhaps you don’t know that he’s in deep trouble himself, and how can he protect you and Xin Quan? Aren’t you curious about why such a prestigious Garrison Commander would constantly change his mind?”

The Su County Magistrate’s eyes suddenly narrowed, and a thought flashed through his mind.

“It was you! It was you meddling, wasn’t it? You arranged everything from the very beginning, didn’t you?”

“You, you! Even now, you still haven’t noticed anything. Don’t you think the Imperial Envoy’s arrival is too suspicious? Why would Zhang Shixin end up in the hands of the Imperial Envoy? Why would Cailian, who is clearly dead, appear in your room? Where did your concubine go? And the account book you used to pay your respects to those lords is missing… All of this is because of an extra hand.”

As Di Yelei spoke, he stepped closer and closer to the County Magistrate Su, eventually pressing right up against him: “Guess who orchestrated all of this?”

“Who did it? You… you better not tell me that everything was done by you. I don’t believe it!”

County Magistrate Su yelled in desperation.

He was shocked in his heart, but his mind was racing.

No! It’s impossible! Di Yelei had been locked up at the gate of the government office the whole time, then escorted to Gongzhou City. He simply didn’t have the time…

Wait a moment!

County Magistrate Su suddenly thought of a question.

Back in the governmental office when the Cailian case was being heard, the human skin mask that was removed from Cailian’s face…

He took a deep breath and couldn’t help but raise his head to look at him.

“It seems you’ve finally figured it out. That’s good, so you won’t become a foolish ghost.”

Di Yelei turned to walk outside but stopped after only two steps and turned back around: “Oh! I almost forgot to tell you, it’s hard to believe how precise Zhang Shixin is when he bites someone. Just a gentle scholar on the outside. Can you guess how much the Imperial Envoy believed?”

After saying that, Di Yelei couldn’t help but laugh loudly before taking Liu Sisi and walking outside.

Three black lines appeared on Liu Sisi’s forehead!

She couldn’t help but feel she and Di Yelei were like the arrogant and domineering villains in the stories, a side of Di Yelei she had never seen before.

County Magistrate Su’s face turned pale, and he couldn’t help but stamp his foot: “Slander! This is real slander! I want to see the Imperial Envoy! I want to go to Gongzhou City, I want to see the Garrison Commander, Lord…”

“It seems that Lord Su has seen a lot of the world and knows many important people! However, I do not know what precisely Lord Imperial Envoy has slandered you for?”

There was a sudden deep voice from the doorway, and a middle-aged man walked in from the outside.

Several astute followers followed closely behind him, entering slowly from the outside, their eyes casually glancing at County Magistrate Su before focusing on Liu Sisi.

“You must be Liu Sisi, right? Like! Really like! So alike!”

Liu Sisi raised an eyebrow in surprise, who was this person in front of her?

“Sisi, this is Lord Imperial Envoy Mo who is going to clear my name!” Di Yelei hurriedly introduced.

So, this is Mo Liancheng? Liu Sisi looked him up and down.

Mo Liancheng stood there casually, and at first glance, there was no way to tell that he was an Imperial Envoy who had received the Emperor’s favor.

Mo Liancheng also examined Liu Sisi from head to toe, exclaiming repeatedly.

She really was her daughter! She looked just like her! It was as if they were carved from the same mold!

“Sisi has met the Imperial Envoy.” Liu Sisi performed a half-squatting courtesy.

“No… Get up quickly. You are carrying a child now, be careful of the children in your belly.” Mo Liancheng sighed, pretending to help her up.
