Chapter 725: Chapter 725: Hundred-Day Feast
Liu Zhi’er was particularly curious, “Sisi, who is that? Are you playing some kind of charade?”
“I’m not sure how to explain this to you. Let’s go over there first, I will explain it to you later when I come out.”
Liu Sisi didn’t dare be vague, she quickly followed Di Yelei and walked hurriedly.
The guests outside had already begun dining, and the large garden and the front and back living rooms were already filled with tables and chairs, seated densely with relatives and friends.
Di Yelei led the three of them with a fist greeting to thank everyone.
“Everyone! Today is my son’s hundred-day feast, the food and wine may not be sufficient, please don’t dislike it and feel free to help yourselves! Please enjoy and join in celebrating my son’s hundred-day feast!”
The guests nearby also quickly greeted with their fists, “No problem at all, Lord Di, you’re too courteous!”
“The table is already filled with food, if this is considered insufficient, then what is sufficient!”
“Lord Di, please also come over and have a few drinks! Today, none of us shall return until we are drunk!”
“…”
There was endless laughter and merriment among the many guests.
“Everyone, everyone! Ye Lei thanks you all for coming.”
Di Yelei quickly thanked the many guests with a smile and a fist greeting, “Everyone can go ahead and start eating and drinking. Give me a moment as I have some elders and other guests in the other room. Excuse me, excuse me!”
It was understandable that he needed to accompany some elders, so everyone laughed and replied: “Sure, go ahead, Lord Di.”
Taking this opportunity, Di Yelei led the three of them through the hall filled with guests towards the inner hall. They walked along the corridor all the way to the waterside pavilion where they discovered it was surrounded by a dense crowd of imperial guards, completely blocking it off. These guards were armored from head to toe, holding long spears, their eyes sparkling with restrained energy, a sight that immediately conveyed a palpable sense of menace.
Liu Sisi and Di Yelei exchanged a glance, apprehensive.
Last time this visitor came, there wasn’t such a grand display. Why the sudden change today?
At this moment, Ms. Gao brought Ms. Yao over.
Upon seeing Liu Sisi, Ms. Yao quickly asked, “Sisi, Ms. Gao said you wanted to see me?”
“It’s not me who wants to see you, but that person wants to see us.”
Liu Sisi shook her head gently and spoke softly.
“That person?”
“Yes, that person.” Liu Sisi confirmed with a nod.
Ms. Yao realized what was happening, “Ah! That person?”
“Yes.”
Upon this realization, Ms. Yao almost collapsed to the ground, barely being held up by the three sisters.
Just as they were about to continue the conversation, a beardless old man with a pale face emerged from the room. “Prefecture Princess, Prince Consort, the Master has been waiting for a long time. Please hurry.”
Liu Sisi reached out and touched Ms. Yao’s hand, then stepping forward, she entered the room with Di Yelei.
