Chapter 772: Chapter 772: A Small Person with Big Ideas
Upon hearing Di Yelei was returning, Liu Sisi was as busy as a happy bee.
“Mom, Mom! Is it true that Dad is coming back?”
From outside the room door, Niuniu flew in like a nimble swallow, immediately attaching herself to Liu Sisi’s thigh: “Mom, is it true? Is Dad really coming back?”
Liu Sisi looked down at Niuniu and quickly hugged her in her arms: “Yes, Niuniu’s Dad is coming back, are you happy?”
“Happy! But Mom, what does my Dad look like? They say that Dad and my little brother look exactly alike, is that true?”
Liu Sisi patted her head: “You’ll know when he returns, won’t you?”
Xiaoxiao indeed looks like Di Yelei, but Xiaoxiao always carries a cheeky smile, whereas Di Yelei has an honest face.
As mother and daughter were a deep in their conversation, Di Cheng walked in hurriedly: “Third Aunt, someone from the main Family has arrived, supposedly from the capital city.”
“What’s the main Family’s urgent matter? How many of them have come?”
Since Di Yelei went to the battle, the main Family would occasionally send someone over – through frequent contacts, both parties established an understanding, each guarding their bottom line and not crossing the boundaries easily.
“Just one person, he brought you a letter saying that it must be presented to you in person. Third Aunt, do you want to see him?”
“See him, why not!”
Liu Sisi sat upright.
As soon as the man from the main Family met her, he handed over a letter: “This is a letter from Elder Di to the Prefecture Princess. Please, Prefecture Princess Ruyu have a look.”
Liu Sisi’s brows twitched, a personal letter from Elder Di? Whenever that old man sought her, there was hardly ever any good news.
She took and opened the letter, a surprised look emerged on her face. She got up and didn’t manage to sit back down until she finished reading the whole passage. Only then did Liu Sisi finally look at the person across from her. She deliberately took her time folding the letter and sealed it back into the envelope.
“Go back and tell Elder Di that I, the Prefecture Princess, have already learnt of it.”
“Yes, Prefecture Princess.”
Liu Sisi remained seated after he left, her face somber.
“Third Aunt, is there something wrong?”
Di Cheng was curiously gazing at the letter.
Liu Sisi seemed to be immersed in her thoughts, after a while she murmured softly: “Cheng’er, send orders to pack up, we prepare to depart for the capital.”
“Going to the capital?”
“Yes, we’ll head to the capital. Many things have been delayed for years, it’s time to resolve them!” Liu Sisi sighed.
In fact, this letter was not written by Elder Di, it was a personal letter from the current Emperor Zhao Yuanlang. The content of the letter was substantial, but what really moved her was a single point.
She had always been in the core of Gongzhou, along with her special identity,. That’s why Zhao Jiong hadn’t acted against her up until now. Perhaps he was just using her to his maximum advantage when the time was right.
Di Yelei’s triumphant return is likely to disrupt the balance between Zhao Jiong and Zhao Yuanlang. Coupled with His Majesty’s recent health problems, Zhao Jiong’s move is imminent. Even if she doesn’t think for herself, she had to think for the children and everyone else by her side.
