Chapter 648: Chapter 648: Life and Death in Two Days and Two Nights (Part 5)

Turning around to gaze again at Guihua sitting next to him, Elderly Mr. Di sighed deeply, “Guihua, YingEr grew up in your arms since she was a child. The current situation really isn’t something any of us wish to see, so…”

Before Elderly Mr. Di could finish, Guihua interrupted him.

“Elder Di, there’s no need for you to say anymore, I understand. Given our current predicament, we should keep as much as we can secret so as not to influence Brother Ye Lei’s official career.”

But she never mentioned anything about YingEr.

A momentary shadow had passed through Liu Sisi’s eyes, her tone grave, “Since they’ve all gone to South City, all we have to do now is to wait! If anyone in the manor carelessly lets slip a word about what’s happening: kill!”

The word ‘kill’ seemed to have drifted out from hell itself, exuding a chilling murderous atmosphere.

Everyone in the side hall was affected by this deadly aura, causing them all to subconsciously shrink their necks in surprise.

This side of Liu Sisi was simply too brutal!

By noon, everyone had eaten some food in their rooms.

Guihua slowly approached Liu Sisi, who was tidying up YingEr’s room. Guihua gently swayed the small floral hairpin that belonged to YingEr, her expression full of melancholy.

“So it was Xuan’er who led YingEr out, which led to a dispute, which resulted in YingEr getting lost, right?”

Guihua quietly approached and asked in a low voice.

Liu Sisi turned her head immediately, her eyes widened with surprise as she looked at Guihua. She moved her lips to speak but eventually words failed her, so she sat down on YingEr’s small bed.

“People always say stepmothers are cruel, I don’t care how the world views me, I genuinely treated the two children as my own. My conscience is clear!”

“I know, you genuinely like YingEr.”

Guihua sat down on YingEr’s small bed next to Liu Sisi. She randomly picked up some small floral ornaments that Liu Sisi made personally for YingEr in her spare time. The cloth dolls at the head of YingEr’s bed were also sewn by Sisi stitch by stitch.

“Others might only see the surface, but I can see your true intentions. However, some people don’t.”

Liu Sisi merely pulled up a weak smile. She did not ask who those people were.

Guihua hesitated for a moment, then sighed softly, “There is one thing, I have not told you. I used to think he was too young, but as he aged, he would naturally understand and correct his mistakes. But I did not expect…”

Liu Sisi looked up at her, “What?”

“Do…do you still remember, back in the village on the grain-drying field, how you were pregnant and almost tripped because someone hooked you? That person… was Xuan’er…”

“What did you say?”

Liu Sisi couldn’t believe her ears! She couldn’t resist asking again.

How could she forget that incident on the grain-drying field?

She always believed that Ms. Xin was responsible for this. Even though Ms. Xin had saved her several times afterward, this incident had always remained as a thorn in her heart.

Guihua lifted her head, her face grave, “That wasn’t the only time. I also know about that incident during the New Year, where you were pushed from behind as you stood on the stone steps. It was when your big brother Liu Baihan had ****. I wanted to help you, but I was too far away. Eventually, your second sister managed to grab you. If you had really tumbled down those stone steps, you might have met the same fate as Ms. Qiao. The person who pushed you then… it was also Xuan’er…”
