Chapter 150: Chapter 148: The Value of 50 Taels of Silver
As for this outcome, she didn’t find it strange.
In a place where Ms.Zhao is, no matter where it is, it would be unusual if something didn’t happen, violating her reputation as a troublemaker in the Wang family.
“Right, right, right, Di Cheng, is Dad awake?”
Di Yelei slapped his forehead, inwardly annoyed, he was so anxious that he forgot to ask such an important question.
“Grandfather has already woken up. He said he was going to call a doctor earlier, but grandfather refused and insisted on letting you come back.”
Elderly Mr. Di now only trusts Di Yelei out of all people!
Thinking of his recovery from a serious illness, with his hands and feet not agile enough, he still insisted on going to the county to hear Ye Lei’s trial, indicating that he really has taken Ye Lei seriously now.
Liu Sisi was thinking about it secretly.
“It’s good that he’s awake…”
Di Yelei’s voice was low, the three people didn’t speak anymore, and they quickly jogged towards the old house.
When they arrived outside the door of the old house, they could hear the sounds of arguing coming from inside.
“Dad! -”
Di Yelei hurriedly took a few big steps, quickly shook off the two behind him, and hurriedly stepped into the courtyard.
Immediately, a series of noisy and jumbled sounds came from inside, with various voices mixing together.
Liu Sisi’s pace was slower, and she was left behind by Di Cheng.
By the time she stepped into the courtyard, it was a mess.
Di Ah-bao wailed and screamed, being firmly pinned under the eaves by Di Yelei, covered in mud and with a face black and blue. Beside him was a green stone slab that had been broken in half.
Ms. Zhao did not stop Di Ah-bao this time but instead sat on the muddy ground next to him, yelled, and cried out in suicidal grief.
“…Oh, heavens! How could you be so blind – who am I going to rely on for the rest of my life! Oh, heavens!”
Her wailing was different from her usual dry cries; it contained genuine sorrow and sadness, which surprised Liu Sisi quite a bit.
“What the hell happened? Can you explain it?”
Di Yelei asked angrily.
Facing the violent Di Yelei, Di Ah-bao dared not resist. He covered the bruise on his left cheek with pain on his face: “It-it was Dad who objected… Little Cui’er’s background is… too low…”
Di Yelei raised an eyebrow, and his forearm against Di Ah-bao’s neck was about to push down!
“What do you mean by low birth? We’re poor families, are we expecting to find an official’s daughter or a princess from within the palace? Dad must be objecting for something else. What is it? Tell the truth!”
“Cough, cough, cough… Don’t, don’t hit me! I’ll tell, I’ll tell, alright?”
Di Ah-bao sobbed and tried to pry away Di Yelei’s forearm. This cry was much louder than Ms. Wang’s wailing.
It made everyone unable to resist stealthily dodging to the side.
However, his strength was nothing in front of Di Yelei, and the iron arm against his neck remained unmoved.
“Hurry up and speak!”
Di Yelei acted as if he was going to hit!
“It was because Little Cui’s background is not good! She was the top-tier girl at Yihong Courtyard. The imperial nanny asked for 50 taels of silver before she would release her!”
