Chapter 628: Chapter 628: Setting Rules
“Has Madam not returned yet?”
“In response to the Old Master, Madam has already returned. She has been in the Waterside Pavilion on the south side ever since she got back and hasn’t come out.”
The backyard of the official residence was built around a pond, with the Waterside Pavilion’s southern side neighboring the main house, separated just by a wall.
“Oh, I’m going to check on her.”
Di Yelei casually replied and then walked into the Waterside Pavilion.
In the room, Liu Sisi was gently rocking the crib, humming a lullaby. But her gaze was fixed on a point in the void, completely unfocused.
Di Yelei waved his hand in front of her eyes, but she still maintained her original action, immersed in the dream she was weaving for herself.
“Sisi!”
He gently turned her face, causing her gaze to meet his.
“Ye Lei, you’re back. Huh? Is it already dark?” Liu Sisi only realized at this moment that it had turned dark.
“Sisi, did anything happen today?”
“No, nothing happened.” Liu Sisi got up and casually poured a cup of cool boiled water to drink.
“Are you sure nothing happened?”
Di Yelei raised one eyebrow. Why would Sisi lie to him? This was something that had never happened before. It seems he must find some time to revisit the academy and have a good understanding of what’s going on.
“Really, nothing happened! Oh, have you eaten yet? Let’s go, let’s eat together.”
She took his arm and walked closely with him, a silent compromise.
The secret in her heart could never be revealed to anyone. Even Di Yelei was no exception!
Di Yelei also noticed Liu Sisi’s deliberate evasion, so he didn’t say anything else, only quietly accompanying her. He decided to ask again when he got the chance.
After all, everyone had one or two little secrets deep in their hearts that they couldn’t share with anyone.
“Ye Lei, near the newly built wharf, there is a section of the river channel… ”
As they walked, Liu Sisi began to recount the day’s events.
“Oh, I’m already aware of that matter, and I’ve brought in experts with experience in dredging rivers to take a look. You don’t need to worry.”
Di Yelei interrupted her straight away.
“By the way, as soon as I returned to the county today, I heard that you had people collecting locusts on the hillside in exchange for coarse grains. Is this true?”
“Correct! Didn’t I go to the porridge shed yesterday? I observed the people who came to collect porridge. I found that while these people were drinking porridge, they were slandering the people giving the porridge. Although these kinds of people only make up a small portion, it gave me an idea.”
“This is a good idea, it can both aid the disaster-stricken people and prevent locust disaster, it really serves a dual purpose. My Sisi really is smart!” Di Yelei praised Liu Sisi without hesitation.
“Is that your sincerest sentiment?” Liu Sisi raised her eyebrows.
