Chapter 491: Chapter 491: Difficult Obstacle

“Wait, Old Cheng, stop by the side!”

Liu Sisi hurriedly called out to Old Cheng.

“Alright, Madam!” Old Cheng responded as he stopped the carriage.

Before the carriage came to a complete stop, Liu Sisi got off and chased after the person at the intersection, with Granny Hu and Xue Yi following closely behind.

By the time Liu Sisi reached the small road intersection, the three figures were gone. She searched around for a moment but still couldn’t find them.

“Madam, should we go inside and look for them?”

Seeing Liu Sisi’s demeanor, Granny Hu suggested.

“No need, let’s go back.”

After some consideration, Liu Sisi shook her head and turned toward the direction of the carriage, only to hear someone calling her from the side.

“Mrs. Di?”

Liu Sisi was taken aback. Not many people would address her as Mrs. Di, and given the voice…she felt a surge of happiness and hurriedly turned around.

“It turns out to be Mrs. Ran! I’ve missed you so much after not seeing you for a long time. How have you been?” Liu Sisi greeted her hastily.

Mrs. Ran had become increasingly plump.

She approached Liu Sisi quickly, her eyes narrowing with laughter: “Just now, I saw a regal-looking Madam standing here, and I hesitated to recognize you. Oh my! Your transformation is quite impressive!”

“There has indeed been a change – my belly has grown!”

Liu Sisi mocked herself, as everyone seemed to ask her about her pregnancy, which she had already gotten used to.

“It is indeed your pregnancy, but I wasn’t talking about your belly growing. I mean that your face has become rounder and your complexion is great. You look like a blooming peony, becoming more beautiful the more I look.”

Beauty is appreciated by all! Liu Sisi felt flattered by Mrs.Ran’s compliments, to the point of blushing.

“Mrs. Ran, please don’t flatter me like this. If you continue, I won’t be able to find my bearings,” Liu Sisi said with a smile.

“It’s not flattery, madam. You’re naturally beautiful and elegant.”

Looking around, Mrs. Ran asked, “By the way, I saw you hurrying earlier. Where are you headed, madam?”

“Nowhere special. I was just a bit tired from sitting in the carriage, so I decided to take a walk nearby. I didn’t expect to run into you, Mrs. Ran.”

“This coincidence must mean we are destined to meet.”

Seeing Liu Sisi’s troubled expression, Mrs. Ran couldn’t help but laugh: “Mrs. Di, you must be tired, aren’t you? There’s a dessert shop nearby, why don’t we go in and take a look?”

“That sounds good, Mrs. Ran, please lead the way.”

Naturally, Liu Sisi wouldn’t refuse Mrs. Ran’s invitation and followed her into the neighboring dessert shop.

Mrs. Ran seemed to know the place well, ordering several delicious desserts as soon as they entered.

As Liu Sisi lost herself in thought, Mrs. Ran’s eyes flashed, and she approached her with a chuckle: “Mrs. Di, you should really consider moving to the city. For Lord Di alone, the convenience of getting to the government office would be worth it, don’t you think?”

Her words caught Liu Sisi’s attention, who looked up at Mrs. Ran: “Do you have a good suggestion?”

“I don’t dare give suggestions, but I do have something to say that I’m not sure if I should.”
