Chapter 261: Chapter 259: The Chain Reaction Caused by Xiaokang
Believe it or not, Di Yelei is indeed swift.
In less than two days, he brought back the confirmed news.
At the same time, he also brought back the three lost inkstones and a few wolf hair brushes from the shop. As for the rest of the little things, only bits and pieces were brought back.
But the fact that he was able to retrieve these major losses, Liu Sisi was already overjoyed!
“I really didn’t expect that you’re actually quite capable!”
With the returned items in hand, Liu Sisi’s eyes widened in surprise as she scrutinized Di Yelei up and down.
Di Yelei lifted his head proudly and flashed a recklessly teasing smile, “What do you think? Don’t you think your husband is impressive too?”
“Pfft! Look at you, so smug!”
Liu Sisi couldn’t help but burst out laughing, “Alright! Stop pretending, this is nothing like you. Hurry up and tell me, how did you find the clues, and how did you track them down? Who took these things, and how did you retrieve these lost items?”
The grin on Di Yelei’s face crumbled, and he switched back to his usual innocent expression. He approached Liu Sisi and wrapped his arm around her waist, his bear-like paw reaching out again, “Sisi, you’re really undermining your husband’s confidence.”
“Stop messing around! Hurry up and tell me!”
With a forceful pat, Liu Sisi brushed away the paw on her chest.
“Xuan’er and YingEr have gone to the old house, they could come back at any moment. And what about father? How bad it would look if he saw.”
She carefully sorted out these retrieved items one by one, planning to put them back in the shop tomorrow.
“What are you patting for? We’re husband and wife!”
Di Yelei argued, but followed her instructions and released her, “Who else could it be? Only she could make Di Cheng drop his guard, steal things from under Di Cheng’s nose, and still not face any consequences.”
“Is it her?”
Liu Sisi raised an eyebrow in question.
“Exactly her!”
Di Yelei nodded, looking helpless.
Liu Sisi couldn’t help but click her tongue in surprise, “She played such a dirty trick, isn’t she afraid that I would expose her to the authorities?”
“I’m afraid your Second Sister-in-law really thinks so.”
Di Yelei also looked quite frustrated.
“I’ll tell you this! We cannot keep indulging her like this! Once Brother Nan comes back, the shop has to be returned to him. When the truth comes to light, if he insists, not only will your Second Sister-in-law be sent to court, even us, who have been harboring the knowledge of a crime, you could even be charged for knowingly breaking the law!”
Liu Sisi really wished she could rush over right now and give that shameless woman a few slaps on the face!
“Didn’t you hear the commotion from the old house?”
Di Yelei raised an eyebrow in surprise, “Just now, when Ms. Wang refused to admit it, I brought the person who wanted to take over the stolen goods to confront her. The two of them kept blaming each other, and in the end Second Brother slapped her a few times. Dad and the two children have gone to watch the excitement! Don’t worry, I don’t think she’ll dare to do it again this time.”
She did hear some commotion from the old house, but considering the constant noise from there, she didn’t think anything of it.
She never thought it would end up like this.
Looking at Di Yelei, who had picked up the torch and seemed to want to go out, Liu Sisi raised an eyebrow.
“Where are you going now?”
“Well, the two brothers from Old Feng’s house had a fight, supposedly over a camphor tree growing on the embankment. A wealthy man took an interest in it and proposed to buy it. However, the two brothers have been fighting over that sum of money for days now. They’ve finally come to me.”
As Di Yelei spoke, he put on a leather shoulder scarf. This scarf was made from sheep wool that he himself had prepared, and Liu Sisi had sewn it for him. It was exceptionally warm to wear. Even though Liu Sisi’s handiwork was not very good, Di Yelei still wore it outside all the time to show off.
