Chapter 601: Chapter 601: Sisi’s Troubles During Confinement
“He wrote to you on behalf of Lord Father, and I withheld it without replying,”
Di Yelei stood up, “Wait here, I’ll get it for you.”
He turned around and left, and quickly came back, “The letter arrived five days ago, and I haven’t opened it. You can open it and see for yourself!”
Liu Sisi took the letter with its seal intact and the official seal on it, proving that it had not been opened by anyone else.
She casually tossed it aside and looked up at a slightly open window.
“Did the results for County Magistrate Su and Lord Xin come out?”
“Yes, County Magistrate Su and his family were all exiled to work in mines over 300 miles away in Lingnan, while Xin Quan was exiled to Luzhou to join the army.”
“Huh? To join the army? That’s surprising!” exclaimed Liu Sisi.
Xin Quan’s uncle was a Garrison Commander in Gongzhou Mansion, isn’t sending him to join the army like letting a tiger return to the mountain?
“It means exactly what it says, Xin Quan can’t be touched yet. The imperial court’s affairs change rapidly, which is beyond our control,” Di Yelei said helplessly.
Liu Sisi thought that made sense, “What about Zhang Shixin?”
“Zhang Shixin wrote the divorce paper ten days ago and was exiled to Lingnan with County Magistrate Su. He was sent out of the city today. As for me, I’m so busy today because all these cases are intertwined. But now that they’re all handled, it feels like a big weight has been lifted from my heart.”
Suddenly, Liu Sisi laughed lightly: “You were afraid I would change my mind after reading this letter, so you hid it all this time, didn’t you?”
“Ahem… Well…”
Embarrassed, Di Yelei coughed softly, “You know that these matters are not up to me. The Imperial Envoy even sent someone to supervise it. Even if I wanted to let them off the hook, it wouldn’t be possible…”
“I don’t want you to go easy on them either! For the common people, getting rid of these three disasters sooner is better.”
Liu Sisi said softly, got up and picked up the letter, walked to the candlestick, and directly lit the letter with a flame.
When she saw the letter slowly turn into ashes in her hand, she put the lid back on and walked back.
“You’re not going to open it and see what’s inside?” Di Yelei raised an eyebrow.
Liu Sisi looked at him curiously, “Do you think I should?”
Reading the contents would only add to her troubles, so it’s better not to read it!
“Indeed, you shouldn’t, haha…”
Di Yelei couldn’t help but burst into laughter, bent down and kissed Liu Sisi’s forehead, “Sisi, having you as my wife is a blessing that I’ve cultivated for several lifetimes. Truly!”
Liu Sisi took a towel and gently wiped the sweat from his forehead, patting his strong chest, “For me, Liu Sisi, marrying you is also a blessing of three lifetimes, isn’t it?”
“Yes! My dear Sisi…”
He couldn’t help but lower his head and kissed her, his kiss filled with deep affection, and after a while, he reluctantly left her lips.
…
The cicadas in the summer were constantly singing on the willow branches, making people really irritable.
What’s even more annoying is that she couldn’t take a bath during her confinement in the sweltering month of June, but could only wash herself with warm water. Liu Sisi had experienced it once and didn’t want to try it a second time.
