Chapter 632: Chapter 632: Ruyu Is Granted the Title of Prefecture Princess
He was satisfied with the result, but poor Liu Sisi felt heartache while walking back. That was a silver ticket worth 500 taels of silver, and her hand was trembling as she held it!
Recently, they had been short of money, and now they had exchanged a 500-tael silver ticket for a useless Prefecture Princess title, which would not receive an annual salary until the New Year. With still several months to go, how could they make ends meet?
While she was worrying about the money, Di Yelei kept her company in silence. Only after they entered the Waterside Pavilion did he turn around and look at Liu Sisi.
“Did Brother Nan give you a letter? What did it say?”
“I didn’t open it. Since he dared to give this letter to Eunuch Xiao to bring back, it means there’s nothing important inside. Can you help me open the letter? Niuniu has been naughty.”
Liu Sisi was holding Niuniu in her arms and coaxing her softly. Feeling that Niuniu had soiled her diaper, she pointed to the envelope inside her clothes.
It was easy to guess that if there was anything inappropriate, he wouldn’t have mentioned it in the letter.
Di Yelei didn’t care much either. He took the envelope and tore it open, unfolding it and immediately becoming overjoyed, “Yes, Brother Nan is coming back!”
“What? Are you sure about this? It…shouldn’t be!”
Liu Sisi couldn’t believe it. Nan Tianzong was coming back, and Eunuch Xiao hadn’t mentioned it before.
Di Yelei nodded seriously, “It’s true. Brother Nan has been made the King of Yan by the current Emperor, and he will soon come to take charge of Gongzhou Mansion!”
Liu Sisi was silent for a moment, genuinely happy for him!
“That’s great! With Brother Nan coming back, we won’t have to worry about the inconvenience of long-distance letters.”
She thought for a moment and then asked curiously, “Did Brother Nan say when he will set off? Will he travel by water or land, and when exactly will he arrive?”
“He didn’t mention any of this in the letter. I guess he has to wait until the arrangements in the capital are settled before he can leave!”
After all, he has been in the capital for so long that it wouldn’t be easy for him to just leave.
“Yeah, you’re right. Wait a moment; I’ll write him a letter too. When you reply, you can send it along.” Liu Sisi said excitedly, getting up to grind ink.
“Wait, hold on.”
Di Yelei quickly reached out and grabbed her, “I don’t think we need to send this letter. Think about it, if the letter is delayed on the way, by the time it reaches the capital, Brother Nan might have already left for the south, and we will just miss him, right?”
“Oh, I forgot about that…”
Liu Sisi slapped her forehead, sat back down in her chair, and couldn’t help but laugh after a moment.
“I wonder if Brother Nan will bring us a sister-in-law this time.”
Di Yelei didn’t join in the conversation. It wouldn’t be an easy task for Nan Tianzong to find a sister-in-law!
“By the way, how has Cheng’er been lately? I see him and Feng’er following you in and out every day. He should be able to handle things on his own now, right?” Liu Sisi asked casually.
She was thinking about another issue—Feng’er and Di Cheng had been married for quite a while now, so why hadn’t there been any news from Feng’er?
“The two children are really good, especially Cheng’er, who has won my heart.” Di Yelei praised Di Cheng wholeheartedly.
“Indeed, this child has not had it easy since he was young. The fact that he has found his own way now shows that he is a blessed person. You should keep him by your side and cultivate him well.”
These were Liu Sisi’s sincere words.
If the Di Family could produce another official, Ye Lei’s future would be much smoother.
“I’m not worried about Cheng’er. What I’ve been concerned about lately is actually Xuan’er.”
