Chapter 563: Chapter 563: The Reunion of Husband and Wife
Although there was a storm raging outside, she was very happy in her heart for having accepted Di Cheng as her adopted son.
Once she got back home, she instructed Granny Hu to buy groceries and invited Liu Zhi’er and Old He to join them for a meal to celebrate the adoption of Di Cheng.
In the past, when the neighbors saw Liu Sisi and others, they would swarm over like bees. But at the moment, when they saw her walking by, they scattered as if she carried a contagious disease, keeping as far away as possible.
Liu Sisi watched them with cold eyes, not looking away as she led Di Cheng and Xiao Feng into the residence.
Soon the cooked dishes were served, and everyone enjoyed themselves without observing the usual formalities, chatting while eating.
On the other hand, Ms. Zhao, who sat on the side, had an exceptionally bad complexion. Seeing everyone talking and laughing, she knew that behind their smiles was hidden sorrow. Still, she felt a strong sense of unease in her heart! Deliberately, she picked up the bamboo chopsticks and scattered the dishes from the bowl all over the place.
“What’s all the fuss about? If you’re full, go away and stop bothering people!” Elderly Mr. Di left her no face.
Who was bothering whom, after all?
Ms. Zhao was also aggrieved! It was just a troublemaker, but he was treasured so much!
“Why… Why should I leave?”
Ms. Zhao threw down the bamboo chopsticks: “He’s just an ill-fated man who brought bad luck to his mother and wife. Previously, he only caused harm to himself, but now he brings the whole family into suffering. How unlucky I am…”
“You still speak! Have you made enough trouble? Do you think you are still the same as before? Don’t think I don’t know! To cover up the fact that you killed Dou Family’s wife, you deliberately framed Third Child for bringing bad luck to his mother and wife!”
Elderly Mr. Di became furious, and his words poked at Ms. Zhao’s sore spots without leaving her any face to spare!
Ms. Zhao’s face immediately collapsed. The bitterness in her heart was too hard to explain to outsiders.
So-called mending a broken mirror and coming back together was just a joke to her now!
After trying so hard for so long, she abandoned her dignity, her pride, and poured out her everything, kneeling and bowing three times before Dou Family’s wife’s grave.
What was it for? It was for having a companion, a support! But what about now? She lost so much, yet she gained only their eternal ridicule and growing distance.
“I didn’t kill her! How many times do I have to say it?”
Ms. Zhao could no longer hold back and yelled! Again and again, she held back without result, and now she could bear it no more!
“Old man, you’ve changed! You heartless thing! Did I say something wrong? For your Third Child alone, you ruined all of us! And you still won’t allow anyone to say anything! What kind of heart do you have?”
“My heart is my own conscience! How would a black-hearted person like you know?”
Elderly Mr. Di glared at her with a cold face.
Ms. Zhao’s arrogance gradually faded under his hateful gaze.
For the first time, she clearly realized: he hated her!
She slumped back into her chair, utterly disheartened. He actually hated her!
Di Cheng, who sat beside, moved his mouth as if to say something to help Ms. Zhao but was gently touched by Xiao Feng. In the end, he said nothing.
Liu Sisi continued to eat and chat with Liu Zhi’er next to her, showing no intention of speaking.
She sneered in silence, thinking that if Ms. Zhao could still not recognize the situation, she would suffer even more in the future!
As everyone was eating, Old Cheng rushed in rolling and crawling from the main entrance.
“Madam! Madam, there’s good news! Tremendous good news! The Lord Imperial Envoy personally issued an order that Old Master’s case was a wrongful one! He released Old Master and reinstated him to his previous post!”
Overwhelmed with joy, Liu Sisi’s head spun for a moment!
Unable to hold back any longer, she sprang to her feet and turned sharply to face him: “Are you sure you’re not mistaken? Where did this news come from?”
