Chapter 591: Chapter 591: Battle

It seemed like she had only closed her eyes for a short while when a child started crying.

It turns out that the child had passed dark brown meconium!

As a new mother, Liu Sisi naturally didn’t know what to do. This was when having a good husband came in handy.

Di Yelei already had two children, and taking care of the little one was much more smooth compared to Liu Sisi. Changing diapers, wiping small buttocks, and washing… it was all so like a professional, it even caught the gaze of nearby Ms. Gao.

“I’ve already sent someone to find a nanny. There are many choices of nannies, but I want to find one with a good body, not chubby or skinny but one with ample milk. It might take a day or two. Once the nanny arrives, you won’t have to work so hard.” Di Yelei said while soothing the child and wrapping the diaper.

“It’s not that I’m working hard, it’s just that I don’t know how to take care of a child, and I feel like I’m doing everything wrong…” Liu Sisi was very dejected, feeling useless.

“It’s normal for a new mother not to know these things. Don’t we keep maids and female servants at home to do these things? Just don’t tire yourself out, or I’ll have to worry about you.”

Di Yelei’s words were right on point.

Hearing him say that, Liu Sisi’s guilt finally lessened a bit.

Only after seeing Ms. Gao finish taking care of the child and leave with proper etiquette did Liu Sisi relax and change the topic.

“By the way, I haven’t asked you yet, what goods did Brother Nan send you to escort?”

“Nothing much, just some black glazed ceramics.” Di Yelei answered without looking back.

“Really? Di Yelei, look into my eyes and say that.” Liu Sisi’s eyes slightly narrowed.

Looks like there’s no escaping it.

Di Yelei reluctantly turned around, sat down next to Liu Sisi, and directly took off his shoes to get into bed, lying next to her and gently holding her.

“Sisi, it’s not that your husband doesn’t want to tell you, but you’re in confinement now and really shouldn’t be worrying about it. Do you understand?”

“If you tell me what you were transporting, I’ll stop asking.”

Seeing her determined little face, Di Yelei knew he couldn’t hide it anymore and told her the whole story.

“This time, we had some surprise without danger, and no casualties. Thanks to the empty thunder you gave me, it saved everyone! I used several of them directly. Otherwise, who knows if we’d still be stuck on the road.”

Although Di Yelei downplayed the trip, the fact that he used several empty thunders against his enemies showed that it was definitely not a small matter!

“Hmm, it’s good that there were no casualties.”

Leaning her head on his chest, Liu Sisi thought of another question: “You said that the horse ship transports horses. We have so many horses here too, why do we have to get them from far away? Is there anything special about it?”

She remembered that books often mentioned the so-called “thousand-mile horses.” Is it possible that there were no sweat-blooded treasured horses during this time?

“How can our local horses go to the battlefield and charge?”

Di Yelei leaned his head back on the bedpost: “You may not know that there have been no wars in Macheng County for more than 30 years, but the border cities have been constantly plagued by them. To the north, there are Mongol horsemen frequently invading my Great Zhao Country, and to the west, there are constant attacks from Xixia Country. The imperial court has enemies on both sides and is in a difficult situation. If it weren’t for the ceasefire agreements signed between several countries decades ago, the flames of war would have reached us long ago.”

Liu Sisi was actually quite interested in this news.

“So the steeds you escorted are meant for the border cities?”
