Chapter 540 - Chapter 540: Chapter 540: Little Tail (2/2)

“Yes, yes, yes…”

The middle-aged man hurriedly responded and finally left the residence.

The intense pain from the injuries on his hands made him unable to hesitate any longer. He quickly ran towards the clinic.

Just you all wait! Just wait until I come back to settle things with you!

Liu Sisi naturally didn’t take this man’s thoughts to heart. Even if she did, she wouldn’t regard him as a threat. She casually waved toward the hidden spot: “Send someone to teach that man a lesson and make sure he doesn’t cause any trouble.”

It seemed as if a gust of wind blew from the hidden spot, and the surroundings soon returned to silence.

Liu Sisi also put the matter behind her, tidied up, and prepared to go out.

As she was about to step out of the room, she looked down and saw Di Xuan, who had not gone to the village school. Instead, he stood there, with a serious expression on his face.

Although Liu Sisi didn’t want to say anything, she thought for a moment and turned around: “No matter what ideas or prejudices you have about me, the one who most wants your father to return safely is me!”

After saying that, she didn’t wait for Di Xuan to speak and strode out of the courtyard, heading to the carriage parked at the doorway.

Old Cheng moved quickly. As soon as Liu Sisi and Ms. Gao got on the carriage, the horse whip was raised, and the carriage sped off.

Outside, Liu Zhi’er was greeting the customers. Seeing Old Cheng driving the carriage past, he hurriedly called out loudly, but the carriage sped past too quickly, causing Liu Zhi’er to feel desolate as he returned.

Today’s destination of the carriage was the same as yesterday’s, directly heading to the official residence in the county. Once there, Liu Sisi leisurely strolled around inside.

Inside the official residence, people were still busy working, and Liu Sisi’s arrival didn’t affect them.

Liu Sisi didn’t mind either. She slowly walked forward until she reached the hall before casually entering.

The foreman in charge of the explanation immediately followed her in.

Once inside, Liu Sisi glanced around at the surroundings before turning her gaze to the foreman.

“Miss.”

“How is the progress of the matter?”

“Miss, please rest assured. The tunnel is more than halfway completed. We estimate that by tonight at the latest, we will reach the underground where your brother-in-law is being held and rescue him.”

“Good! Excellent! Just remember to be discreet and make sure there are no spies from the other side mixed in. Let’s go. We should leave before the people outside get suspicious.”

“Yes, Miss.”

As Liu Sisi walked out, she asked, “has there been any recent news from the heir?”

“The heir said that everything is going smoothly and for Miss to rest assured.”

“That’s good.”

As the two talked, Liu Sisi had already stepped out of the front hall.

“The construction of this official residence is not bad. We have to ensure that it is both high-quality and on-schedule. The Old Master did ask me to supervise carefully before he left. You workers must not be lazy. I will not deduct any of your wages, but if I find any more incidents of cutting corners like just now, I will not let it slide!”

Liu Sisi gave another round of remarks before she finally got back on the carriage.

This time she didn’t go to the wine-house or the Silver Pavilion. Instead, she strolled around the South City for a while, walking and stopping along the way, causing the few small tails behind her to have a hard time keeping up.

Finally, as dusk approached, she got back on the carriage and headed home.

“Madam, the little tail behind us seems to have stopped following.”

Ms. Gao lifted a small gap and looked back. She was gradually getting used to Liu Sisi’s temperament and knew when it was appropriate to speak.
