Chapter 267: Chapter 265: Concern Leads to Chaos, A Dangerous Situation
The conversation between the two and Yuan Mengbai finally came to an end without any conclusion.
Coming out from the inner room, Di Yelei could not hold back the urge to take out 5 taels of silver from his pocket and handed it to Yuan Mengbai after seeing the three children withering in the cold wind in the courtyard.
“A sick person needs care, but children need it more. They’re still wearing single-layered clothes in such cold weather. Aren’t you the father who’s worried about them? Take the money and remember to buy everybody a cotton-padded garment.”
Having said that, Di Yelei turned around and strode out of the main entrance.
Liu Sisi followed behind him, clearly seeing Yuan Mengbai’s hand holding the silver trembling, his face twisted with bitterness.
Her heart suddenly tightened, and then she immediately followed Di Yelei’s footsteps.
“Third Brother, Third Sister-in-law, Meng Bai is useless, having to rely on you to provide silver money. I’m really…really…”
“Don’t say more. Just take it! Remember to take good care of Little Sister. Also, regarding what I asked you earlier, be mindful. If anyone contacts you, remember to tell me immediately. Don’t forget.”
Di Yelei helped Liu Sisi onto the horse’s back.
Liu Sisi turned her head, her eyes met with Yuan Mengbai’s, his face was full of grief, as if the twisted expression she had seen earlier was just an illusion.
“Third Brother, Third Sister-in-law, take care on your journey!”
Yuan Mengbai waved, full of gratitude.
By the time they left the village entrance, neither of them was able to relax.
“Ye Lei, just now, my brother-in-law’s face looked so…twisted…”
“Sigh! He just can’t let go of his pride. What can’t he let go of when it’s already come to this?”
Di Yelei said indifferently, his voice carrying the melancholy of having seen through the world.
“Ye Lei, do you think that person has ever looked for Little Sister, and has he seen the entire process of the crime happening?” Liu Sisi leaned back into Di Yelei’s arms.
“I’m afraid the truth is not that simple!”
Di Yelei thought of the news he had heard from his colleagues. The situation with the bandits on Heilong Mountain was deep, and even the government did not dare to mess with them casually.
He looked up and took a good look around: “I heard that South Mountain Village and Liu Family Mansion are quite close. Since we’re already here, why don’t we go and see where your family’s home is?”
“No need!”
Liu Sisi obediently nodded and then shook her head: “Just take a look from afar like this. I don’t want to go inside, nor do I want any more involvement with these people.”
From her marriage until now, not a single family member had come to see her. This showed how faint their affection was.
No matter what, she had seized someone else’s daughter’s body, and the affection with her bloodline had made Liu Sisi want to take a look.
“Alright then! Let’s go.”
Di Yelei gently kicked the horse’s belly, and the horse leisurely moved forward.
“Actually, no matter how you put it, Little Sister sent someone to make trouble for you. We can’t really say that we wronged her.”
She understood the obstacle in his heart that he couldn’t get past!
“Hmm, you’re right.”
Di Yelei stayed silent for a while, then let out a long sigh. After climbing up the cliff, he pointed to a large courtyard below and showed it to Liu Sisi, “Look! That’s Liu Family Mansion.”
