Chapter 412: Chapter 412: Confrontation
This remark did indeed cause Ms. Xin’s face to change drastically!
She suddenly stood up from her stool, pointed at Di Yelei’s face, and angrily scolded, “You! You actually followed me?”
“Hmph! If I didn’t follow you, how would I discover all these useful things? If you don’t speak up, I won’t mind letting your Master know that we’ve already found you. I wonder if you can still see tomorrow’s sun by then!”
Ms. Xin’s face turned from pale to green and then back to pale again, as she helplessly slumped onto the ground.
“I didn’t! I never did anything to hurt Third Sister-in-law. I swear to the heavens!”
“Ms. Xin, did you forget what you put in the meeting gift for Sisi on your first encounter? Do you need Third Brother to remind you?”
“I… I… What are you talking about? That sachet is something every girl in Yihong Courtyard has. I’ve always worn it myself. Could there be a problem with the sachet?”
Ms. Xin’s face turned grayish-white, and her expression didn’t seem to be fake.
Just then, Di Ah-Bao’s knocking suddenly came from outside.
“Cui’er! Little Cui’er, are you there? Cui’er, come and open the door, it’s me, Ah-Bao! Hurry up and open the door!”
Accompanied by Di Ah-Bao’s pounding, Ah-Huang and Ah-Hua barked wildly.
These two hounds were becoming more and more understanding of humans and rarely barked indiscriminately at the Di Family when regular people came by.
Only Di Ah-Bao, Ms. Zhao, and Ms. Wang were exceptions, causing the two dogs to go crazy and be uncontrollable despite people trying to pull them back.
Ms. Xin’s face lit up, and she suddenly snapped out of her daze.
Guihua glanced at the two confronting each other and gently got up, tugging on Zhang Peng before saying,
“Brother Ye Lei, it’s difficult for an upright and incorruptible official to meddle in family affairs. It’s inappropriate for Auntie Guihua to speak too much about your family matters. Zhang Peng and I will leave first. As for Sisi, I’ll visit her tomorrow morning.”
As she spoke, she and Zhang Peng left the kitchen one after another, and upon going outside, they finally opened the yard door.
Di Ah-Bao was exerting all his strength knocking on the door outside the yard. Guihua suddenly opened the door, which instead frightened Di Ah-Bao, causing him to lurch forward and almost stumble headfirst.
“I told you two were deliberately messing with yours truly, right? Well, are you here to start a fight or not?”
Di Ah-Bao had a rascal-like appearance, and the moment he spoke, people couldn’t help but want to punch him twice.
Zhang Peng furrowed his brows and was about to speak, only to be smoothly led away by Guihua beside him.
“Shut up! Don’t make life difficult for Sisi and her husband. Let’s go!”
As Guihua’s words fell, Zhang Peng didn’t retort; instead, he obediently followed Guihua out of the Di Family’s home and went in their own direction.
However, Di Ah-Bao interpreted their withdrawal as fear and burst into laughter.
“Pah! What are you, coming to visit every two or three days, thinking you’re some big shot? Heh heh heh!”
After saying that, he staggered into the Di Family’s hall.
The children inside the hall had learned to avoid Di Ah-Bao, so naturally, they didn’t provoke him. Di Ah-Bao turned his head and noticed that the kitchen area seemed lively, so he walked over.
“Speak up! There are no outsiders here now, so if you have something to say, hurry up. If you wait until my patience is gone, things won’t end well.” Di Yelei threatened and coaxed.
As they were talking, Di Ah-Bao barged in. Seeing Ms. Xin, his face immediately turned peachy, with the blossoming of wealth and honor type.’
