Chapter 86: Chapter 83: Stormy Winds and Heavy Rain

“Sisi, why did you take so long?”

Behind her, Di Yelei was smiling at her with an honest expression.

But it frightened Liu Sisi so much that she almost jumped!

“Ah! You…why is there no sound when you walk? Do you want to scare me to death!”

Liu Sisi kept patting her chest, annoyed.

When did Di Yelei come back? Did he see what happened just now?

Although there was nothing between her and that person, she couldn’t help feeling guilty, and subconsciously glanced around. She also missed Di Yelei’s gaze at the moment.

Di Yelei’s eyes darkened, and the muscles on his face couldn’t help twitching a few times, a touch of disappointment flashed through his eyes.

But soon, he put away his abnormal expression and quickly relaxed.

“What’s wrong? Sisi, your face is very pale, is it because you didn’t rest well last night? You should go back to your room and sleep for a while.”

He looked at Liu Sisi’s pale face with a pained expression and led her into the room by the hand.

“Just after you left, Uncle Land Officer came and saw the chaos in the courtyard. He immediately scolded everyone and demanded Second Brother take out 8 taels of silver. Second Brother wanted to delay the time and said he had no silver, but the Land Officer showed strong determination and wanted to search the room. With no choice, Second Brother had to take out the silver…I was worried about you and came back to see you while sending the silver back to you as well.”

While talking, Di Yelei took out the silver and handed it to Liu Sisi.

He looked at Liu Sisi’s face carefully: “I deliberately informed the Land Officer and came back first. Now Mr. Land Officer is accompanying Dad, and with him here, they dare not make any trouble.”

After saying that, he took out the five and a half taels of silver that Liu Sisi had lent to him and the 3 taels and 312 copper coins, and handed them to Liu Sisi.

Liu Sisi looked up and saw the face full of cautious and pleasing expression, her heart suddenly softened.

In fact, among all the trouble, Di Yelei was the most innocent and contributed the most.

Caught between his family members, he was in a difficult situation.

It must not feel good for him!

“Why did you think of giving it to me? You keep it.” She refused to accept it.

Listening to the 8 taels of silver that Ms. Wang had spat out, she was happier than anyone else.

“No way! As the saying goes, ‘Men are money rakes, women are money boxes,’ you are my wife, and you should be in charge of the money. Whatever you want to eat or wear, just spend it. When I really need money, I will come and get it from you.”

Di Yelei said, forcibly stuffing the money into her palm.

“So you think I’m a moving money vault for safekeeping?”

Liu Sisi thought for a moment and put away the money: “Fine! Keep it here, and when you need it, just let me know. By the way, how is father? Is he feeling better?”

The two had already entered the inner room as they talked.

“Yeah! The old man is able to speak a few words now. Sisi, I want to take a nap. I haven’t slept since yesterday, and I’m very tired now.”

Only then did Liu Sisi notice that Di Yelei’s eyes were bloodshot, and he looked exceptionally tired.

Indeed, since Di Yelei went hunting in the mountain the day before, he had gone to the market without sleep, and then something happened to his father last night. He carried his elderly father on his back, running all the way and staying up all night until now. Even an iron body couldn’t bear it.
