Chapter 681: Chapter 681: It Seems Like You Don’t Want This Tongue Anymore.

Guihua’s face bore a peculiar smile, with deep implications hidden within.

Liu Sisi furrowed her brows, thinking of the expensive clothes Di Ruoning was wearing the last time she saw her: “Really? They’ve been living at my little sister’s birth father’s home recently. Now that they’ve returned, is it possible that they’ve run out of money to spend?”

“That, I do not know. They seem to have left rather discreetly,” replied Guihua, shrugging with obvious disdain in her eyes.

The Land Officer’s wife hurriedly grips Liu Sisi’s hand: “You’re too naive, you’re always being duped by others. Your little sister is not that simple, you should beware of her.”

The Land Officer’s wife’s unfinished words and ambiguous phrases left Liu Sisi with a bitter smile in her heart.

Wasn’t it because she was too foolish that she was constantly being manipulated?

“Thank you, Madam. Sisi understands,” she replied.

As soon as the Land Officer’s wife left, Ms. Xin quickly leaned over: “The Second Sister-in-law’s family is not at home today, even though they were just here yesterday. Some people in the village said they left early in the morning and haven’t come back yet.”

“What on earth is the second family branch busy with lately? It’s so strange,” Guihua also leaned in, joining the conversation.

“I guess they’re up to no good again. I heard a few days ago that they found a prospective family for Di Wei. The Second Sister-in-law was busy mediating the situation, we’re not sure whether they’ve settled it or not,” Ms. Xin said with apprehension.

“Di Wei? Isn’t Di Wei just slightly older than Xuan’er? How could she…”

Liu Sisi cut her sentence short, realizing that this indeed sounded like something Ms. Wang could have done.

“Never mind, let’s not bother about them, let them do as they wish.”

She couldn’t prevent it anyway, but she was curious to see what kind of ruckus the second family branch could stir up.

That night, Liu Sisi and Ms. Xin decided to stay a bit longer. It was rare that they got to return to their hometown, and this gave them a chance to tidy up the house.

Another reason was that Elderly Mr. Di had drunk too much. Neither of them felt comfortable leaving him in the care of Ms. Zhao, so they decided to wait until he sobered up.

However, Di Yelei and Di Ah-bao rode straight back to the county on their horses that same night.

Before they left, Liu Sisi packed some lotus root and a small amount of green grapes to give to the residents of the Di Residence as a taste of freshness.

During the evening, several gossip-loving women came over and chatted with Liu Sisi about daily affairs.

Liu Sisi presented them with various candies as a gesture of hospitality, but didn’t have the energy to engage in their incessant chatter. As it wasn’t good to openly drive them away, she forced herself to stay awake despite her heavy eyelids.

She yawned repeatedly and it was only when the moon was at its peak that these individuals finally went home feeling satisfied.

The next morning after breakfast, Liu Sisi and Ms. Xin were planning to return to the county. However, they received an unexpected visitor.

“Third Sister-in-law! Third Sister-in-law, are you home? Open the door quickly please!” Ms. Wang’s uniquely shrill voice could be heard outside the door.

Ms. Wang was back? Liu Sisi instinctively furrowed her brows.

Before Liu Sisi could react, Ms. Wang had already barged in, ignoring the two housemen who tried to stop her.

Ms. Wang had a tight smile on her face: “Sisi! Turns out you’ re back in Upper Village. Why didn’t you let us know in advance? We visited the Di Residence and found no one there. How could you play such a trick on us…”

Liu Sisi didn’t even bother to lift her eyebrows.
