Chapter 135: Chapter 133: Unexpected Change – Sisi Anxiously Seeks a Way Out
“What did he say?”
“On the day of the incident, he was at Yihong Courtyard with his old lover, Little Taohong, and never saw Di Yelei at all. We also found Little Taohong, who confirmed this. As for why Sun Ergou wanted to frame Di Yelei, we don’t know.” Nan Tianzong was very curious too.
“Sun Ergou? Sun Ergou, Sun…”
Liu Sisi had some impression of this name, but couldn’t remember where she had heard it.
“I know Sun Ergou. He’s the head chef at Heji Restaurant. In the past, when Ye Lei and I couldn’t sell our game, we’d always send it to Heji Restaurant. But Sun Ergou is very strict, always lowering the price and forcing us to sell. We would only go there when we really couldn’t sell our game.”
“Ah! I remember now! So it’s him! I know the reason he’s framing Ye Lei now.”
Liu Sisi suddenly realized!
She then explained to everyone, and finally, she angrily cursed, “It’s been so long since I’ve seen any movement from him, I thought he was scared. I didn’t expect him to be so ruthless.”
“Don’t worry! Tomorrow morning, when the court opens, we will present all the evidence and there will be a verdict.” Nan Tianzong comforted her.
“I hope so!”
Liu Sisi was still worried, always feeling that something unexpected would happen.
The next day, everyone went to the county government office again, but they couldn’t see Di Yelei. They had no choice but to go back and sit in the wine-house diagonally opposite the government office, lost in their own thoughts.
“Huh? Look over there!”
Zhang Peng suddenly pointed to two figures in front of the county government office and shouted.
It was actually Elderly Mr. Di!
He had come to the county with Di Cheng’s company, which really surprised Liu Sisi. Naturally, everyone told Elderly Mr. Di about the progress of the case and comforted him.
Elderly Mr. Di was old and weak and had just recovered from a major illness, so he looked very exhausted. Upon arriving in the inn, he went straight to sleep.
“Grandfather was insisting on coming to the county yesterday, but the family did not let him. I secretly carried him to the small town and we rested under someone’s eaves for the night. This morning, we finally managed to catch a carriage to the county station. We didn’t know the directions to the county government office, so we asked our way here.” Di Cheng spoke with a simple smile, his words downplaying the situation.
The corners of Liu Sisi’s eyes were dry.
The child made it sound so simple, carrying an old man so far, not complaining about the hardship or fatigue, and indeed not like the people from the old house.
“Third Aunt knows your hardships… Go rest!”
Liu Sisi whispered softly, “It’s easy to add flowers on top of the embroidered silk, but much harder to deliver coal in the snow. Di Cheng, I remember your kindness.”
“Third Aunt, you’re too considerate. Among all the brothers, the one Third Uncle loves the most is Cheng’er. It’s only natural for Cheng’er to do what he can for Third Uncle.” Di Cheng smiled.
“It’s hard for you to have this heart… Go rest.”
As they spoke, Liu Sisi’s eyes began to redden. Having said that, she didn’t wait for Di Cheng to respond, and pushed open the door to the room.
Di Cheng stood there for a while, then murmured, “Alright, Third Aunt, you rest too.”
Suddenly coming from the quiet village to the bustling county town, Liu Sisi was not used to it. Most importantly, tomorrow was the day Di Yelei was to appear in court, and she couldn’t sleep tossing and turning.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Liu Sisi instinctively jumped.
“Who is it?”
