Chapter 775: Chapter 775: Meeting

It was Di Xuan. Even though he had grown taller, his facial features were still recognizable at a glance.

The reason Liu Sisi was stunned was because of the familiar look of deep affection in his eyes, greatly similar to Di Yelei’s. However, the object of his affection had changed to YingEr.

Di Xuan was talking to Di Ying, but his steps didn’t halt. He walked right up to Liu Sisi before lifting his robe to bow.

“Xuan’er pays his respects to mom.”

“Xuan’er, what are you doing? A man’s knees are worth gold. Do not kneel so easily. Get up.”

Liu Sisi hurriedly helped Di Xuan up, looked him up and down carefully, then smiled in satisfaction: “You’ve grown so tall in just a few years. It seems the living conditions in the Capital City really suit you.”

His height and voice had changed, and there was an additional youthful vibe in his demeanor, along with a blossoming charm of a boy maturing into a man. He was dressed in a blue brocade robe, holding a folding fan in his hand, standing confidently and modestly.

Xuan’er really had grown up!

Liu Sisi sighed, thinking about how time flies! It seemed like only a blink of an eye since he was a child, and now he was this tall, even towering over her.

YingEr stuck out her ********, but still stubbornly stayed in Liu Sisi’s arms without moving.

“Brother, you’re teasing me again. YingEr hasn’t seen mom in a long time. It’s rare for us to be together and you’re still bothering me. Annoying!”

“As long as you’re healthy, I don’t care how annoying I am to you.”

Di Xuan continued to shower her with affection as always.

When they had traveled all the way to the capital, fleeing and hiding, YingEr had many bouts of fever and recurring colds on the road. She was even close to death at one point. After arriving in the capital, it took her over half a year to recover. This was the core reason why Di Xuan insisted on staying in the capital, and why Liu Sisi did not force them to return.

“What’s wrong? YingEr, are you still feeling unwell? Did you see a doctor in the capital?”

Liu Sisi also became worried and quickly helped YingEr sit down on a chair nearby.

“Mom, don’t listen to brother’s nonsense, YingEr is fine.”

YingEr hurriedly grabbed Liu Sisi’s hand, gasped for a while before shaking her head: “The doctor has been examining me all along. Even Imperial Physicians from the palace have been invited several times. But after all these treatments, there’s still no sign of recovery.”

Di Ying has already turned ten this year, but her body was extremely weak, as if a gust of wind could blow her down.

“You poor thing…”

Liu Sisi comforted her, patting her back while the chestache was spreading.

She still remembered that lively and adorable little girl who used to be full of life and jumped around all the time. Her cute pink face used to peep out from behind her, revealing a pair of twinkling wide eyes. The girl now in front of her was a far cry from that past image.

Di Xuan’s face showed a painful expression as he clenched his fists: “Don’t worry, YingEr! Big brother will find a way to cure you.”

“Thank you, brother. YingEr knows that you’ve been trying really hard.” Di Ying’s face was filled with a warm smile.

Just then, the people from the adjacent room who had been there all along came over.

Liu Sisi then remembered her forgetfulness: “Ah, I forgot to introduce everyone. This is Uncle Zuo. You should remember him. This is your elder brother Di Cheng, your eldest sister-in-law Feng’er, your second sister Niuniu, your third brother Chou Chou, and your little brother Xiao Xiao…”

After Liu Sisi finished introducing, everyone paid their respects in turn, before settling back down.

“Are you YingEr? Are you Niuniu’s elder sister?” Niuniu tilted her head curiously, looking at YingEr.

YingEr took Niuniu’s hand, her face filled with a wide smile: “Yes, I am your elder sister. I have been so bored all alone in the mansion. Now that I have Niuniu to keep me company, I will no longer be lonely.”

“Mmm, elder sister YingEr, Niuniu likes you too…”
