Chapter 181: Chapter 179: The Hidden Worries of Liu Sisi
“What was the woman’s name you said…? Was it Liu Zhi’er? Are you sure you didn’t get it wrong?”
“Hey! How could I get something like this wrong? It’s not something that happens twice a year; how could I forget?”
Guihua didn’t even lift her head as she spoke, concentrating on wrapping the mooncake filling in her hands.
Liu Zhi’er, Liu Zhi’er, could it be her?
It shouldn’t be her, should it?
Definitely not her!
Liu Sisi’s thoughts became tangled and chaotic, leaving her momentarily lost.
“Liu Xuer, Liu Zhi’er, Liu Sisi, I think you three sisters are one more disgraceful than the other… one more skilled in seducing others…”
Di Ruoning’s words of scolding from the past were still fresh in her memory!
The reason she was familiar with the name Liu Zhi’er was that she had heard it from Di Ruoning’s mouth.
If the woman Old Man Li was searching for really was Liu Zhi’er…
Liu Sisi shuddered and suddenly leaped up from her chair, sprinting out of the courtyard with Ah-Huang and Ah-Hua barking wildly behind her.
“Sisi! Sisi, where are you going?”
Without taking the time to reply to Guihua’s question, Liu Sisi headed straight for Old Man Li’s house, which she remembered.
Please, please let it not be her!
Dashing all the way to the village entrance, Liu Sisi suddenly stopped, gasping for breath. A crucial question occurred to her.
She didn’t know Liu Zhi’er at all, so how could she recognize her?
However, there was no turning back now. She could only forge ahead and face the consequences, even if it meant being scolded.
The last time that Big Mouth Li had died, Liu Sisi and Di Yelei had come this way together. But now she was alone, and the houses here were different from the Di Family’s single houses. This place had courtyards within courtyards, piled up in layers, narrow and dark.
Liu Sisi wandered around inside for a while, meeting some villagers who looked at her curiously. After all, she rarely appeared in the village.
She finally reached Old Man Li’s house, only to find the main entrance tightly closed.
Not giving up, she circled the house several times, peeking through the windows but finding the interior too dark to see if anyone was inside.
Guihua mentioned that Old Man Li would take the woman back to Upper Village, but whether or not it had been done was hard to say.
Left with no choice, she had to retrace her steps slowly.
As she turned around, she saw Guihua running towards her, gasping for breath.
“Sisi, what’s wrong? How did you end up here? I called you earlier, but you didn’t answer. Sisi, won’t you say something?”
In the room of Old Man Li’s house, where the windows were tightly sealed, a young woman was tied to the head of the bed. She seemed to be asleep with her mouth gagged, but was suddenly awakened by the noise outside. Slowly, she opened her eyes and listened closely to the sounds outside.
“Sister Guihua, I just came to take a look after hearing you mention…that the woman’s name is Liu Zhi’er. That’s why I was curious.”
Guihua let out a sigh of relief!
“Hey! What’s there to see? You know what kind of person Old Man Li is. I bet it won’t be long before he parades that woman around the village. By then, will you be afraid of not seeing her? Don’t worry!”
