Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family-Chapter 535 - : The Wind Rises, The Clouds Surge
Chapter 535: Chapter 535: The Wind Rises, The Clouds Surge
It seems like something very important to say.
Liu Sisi’s eyes rolled, and she coughed lightly, covering her mouth shyly.
“I drank too much water this morning before going out, and now I’m a little urgent. Where is the nearest restroom around here?”
A lady next to her also lightly covered her mouth, “Is this Mrs. Di’s first time at Mrs. Ran’s home? The restroom is just around the corner on your right, Mrs. Di, you’ll see it in a moment as you walk.”
“Thank you so much.”
Liu Sisi did not stand on ceremony, and after speaking, she got up and quickly walked in the direction indicated by the lady.
As she turned the corner, Xue Lan hurried over. “Madam, something has happened!”
“What happened?”
“Just now, my dad asked Xue Lan to deliver a message, saying that Old Master came to find you two quarters ago, and he and Old Master went in separate directions. But when they turned back, they couldn’t find the Old Master.” Xue Lan looked nervous.
“Has Yelei arrived? Did he go to the other side and not meet up with us?” Liu Sisi speculated casually.
“But, my dad found this near that rockery earlier.”
Xue Lan extended her hand and held up an object in front of Liu Sisi.
Liu Sisi casually picked it up and was immediately shocked!
“Isn’t this the jade pendant that Yelei wears?”
This jade pendant was worn by Di Yelei this morning. She personally put it on him before he left the house. The beads on it were also tied by her hand. Her craftsmanship was not good, and there was still a small imperfection that outsiders could not see, she would definitely not mistake it!
“Where did Da Niu find this?”
“My dad said he found it by the rockery in the wing courtyard.” Xue Lan also seemed anxious.
Liu Sisi thought for a moment: “Where is your dad right now?”
“He’s just outside this door waiting for you, ma’am.”
“Let’s go over and take a look.” Liu Sisi said and quickly walked over. Sure enough, she saw Da Niu.
“… If it were not for the fact that I was searching separately with Old Master for Madam, I wouldn’t have dared to go there. When I turned back, I saw two people sneaking by, carrying a huge hemp bag. Out of curiosity, I went in the direction they came from, and then I found this. The more I thought about that hemp bag, the more I felt something was wrong, so I asked Xue Lan to inform you.”
As Da Niu spoke, he pointed to the courtyard over there: “Madam, this is where I found it, what should we do now?”
Liu Sisi’s hands couldn’t help but clench and her body trembled. Could it be that they had made their move again?
“You all quickly contact them and order them to do whatever it takes to find Old Master as soon as possible and not let the other party’s treacherous plan succeed.”
“Yes, Madam.” Da Niu hurriedly took his leave.
“Madam, what should we do now?” Xue Lan anxiously asked.
“Don’t worry, this matter cannot be rushed. We must remain calm and not let others see any flaws.”
Liu Sisi was the type of person who became more sober in critical situations: “Let’s go tell Mrs. Ran and make sure no one gets suspicious before we find the Old Master.”
There was still a large group of noble ladies gathered, laughing and talking. freeweɓnovel.cøm
“What happened to Mrs. Di?”
Seeing Liu Sisi.s hand on her waist, Mrs. Ran hurriedly asked.
Liu Sisi pressed hard on her stomach: “I think I ate something bad this morning, and my stomach is still upset. I really want to lie down.”
“You are tired. You should take a good rest. I’ve already asked the maid to clean the guest room. Why don’t you go over there and lie down?”
Mrs. Ran also said casually, with an inquisitive look on her face.
“It’s a good idea to lie down, too tired indeed!”
Liu Sisi did not refuse the other party’s kindness and went to the guest room to rest.
Once the maids left the guest room, Liu Sisi immediately jumped up from the bed.
“Both of you go investigate quickly, and report any news as soon as possible.”
“Yes.”
Xue Lan went, but Nanny Hu did not leave. Instead, she leaned in closer.
“Madam, don’t worry too much and harm your body. I believe good news will come from that side soon.”
“My body doesn’t matter. I have a feeling that if we don’t find Di Yelei in time this time, it would be terrible!” The intuition came too fast and suddenly, making Liu Sisi’s heart even heavier.
…
Di Yelei only felt a throbbing pain in his head, and the strong smell of blood around him made him restless even in his unconscious state.
Restless…
Something’s not right! I was in the garden before…
As the memories returned, Di Yelei used all his strength to open his eyes and looked in the direction of the bloody smell. He trembled all over, unable to suppress a low growl.
It wasn’t his fault, as right beside him was a naked female body.
The girl was none other than Cailian!
Her clothes were torn, revealing her white chest, and even her waistband had been forcefully ripped off and discarded on the ground.
What shocked Di Yelei the most was a sharp knife deeply stabbed into Cailian’s chest, with only the handle exposed. Her eyes stared blankly at a point in the air, her body covered in bruises.
“Cailian! Miss Cailian!”
Di Yelei climbed up without giving up, gently calling her. Unfortunately, Cailian didn’t respond at all.
He didn’t give up and reached out to check her pulse; obviously, she had been dead for a while, and her body had gone cold.
“Damn!”
Memories played back in Di Yelei’s mind, and he immediately understood what had happened.
He quickly rolled out of bed and turned to leave.
However, before he could react, the main entrance and windows outside were suddenly slammed open with a “bang.” Numerous people rushed in and surrounded Di Yelei.
“Oh no, someone’s been killed! Trouble has occurred; Minister Di has killed someone!”
Some people shouted loudly, while the sound of running footsteps came from outside, shattering Di Yelei’s last hope.
On the other side.
Liu Sisi’s heart became more anxious, pacing restlessly in the room, waiting for the good news from the other side.
Unbeknownst to her, Mrs. Ran appeared in front of her again.
“Mrs. Di, how are you feeling now?”
“It’s fine, just my stomach…” Liu Sisi smiled awkwardly.
“Our Old Master specially invited a famous chef from Gongzhou City. His signature dishes include candied dates, top-level alcohol-absorbed shrimp, and abalone and shark fin. Today we are fortunate to try them all. Now that it’s not early, why don’t we move to the living room and taste them carefully?”
