Di Yelei clenched his fists in the shadows, chuckling coldly twice.

“Initially, the main Family over there did not hesitate to trip us up. Even if I return the favor, tit for tat, I assume everyone would have nothing to say, right?”

Who would speak up? Who would dare to speak up?

Liu Sisi silently rested on his arm, wrapping her arms around his sturdy waist and closing her eyes with a smile.

“Right, your wounds are all healed now, aren’t they?”

“They healed long ago, don’t you know?”

“It’s good that the wound is healed, I just fear that once the scars are gone, you’ve forgotten the pain.”

“…”

Was Sisi indirectly scolding someone else?

Di Yelei also chuckled to himself, not expecting that Sisi had also learned to insult others!

By the grave of Elderly Mr. Di, a dark figure stood tall.

His entire being seemed to merge with the night, virtually indistinguishable from the darkness.

Looking at the smooth grave and the fruits offered before it, he stepped closer, respectfully bowed twice, then turned decisively and left.

He followed the village path, the darkness seemingly posing no visual hindrance to him, leaping and bounding, quickly crossing several mountain tops to arrive at another grave.

This graveyard was overgrown with weeds, and if not for a small mound, it would have been unrecognizable as a grave.

He knelt down, swiftly pulling out the weeds, even those around the grave were cleared away, revealing the stone stele at its head.

He sat in a daze for a long time, leaning against the stele, and then reached out to gently touch the few large characters carved into the stone.

“Mom, your unfilial son Xingyu has come to see you. All these years, lying here alone, it must have been lonely, right? It’s all Xingyu’s fault, Xingyu’s unfilial…”

A strange aura lingered in the air.

“Mom, let Xingyu tell you about the things he has done over the years. Please don’t despise Xingyu for speaking poorly, just take it as Xingyu keeping you company to alleviate your boredom…”

Zuo Xingyu leaned against the stone stele, quietly recounting his past.

Remembering the days when he mistakenly thought that Liu Sisi was dead, he frantically searched downstream without finding any trace of her. His heart ached almost to the point of joining her in death!

But the last sliver of hope in his heart supported him, refusing to give up no matter what!

During his pursuit, he accidentally heard news of Liu Sisi.

It turned out she had never died, it was he who unilaterally wished to take what belonged to others, it was he who had been living a confused and ghostly life these years, it turned out…

“…Mom, Xingyu is really tired. But don’t worry, mom, Xingyu will definitely not let you down. He will take a wife, have children, find someone who knows warmth and cold…”

A self-deprecating smile curved his lips, two trails of cold tears sliding down his cheeks.

All these years, he had been living for others.

Now, he allowed himself to be selfish just this once! From today onwards, he would live for himself! To live a splendid life!

“Mom, which kind of daughter-in-law would please you? One who can handle both the kitchen and the drawing room, or one who is gentle, pleasing, and empathetic? Mom…”

That night, Zuo Xingyu leaned against the grave, babbling on about many things, until the dawn began to break, and then he got up, bowed twice to the grave, and turned to disappear without a trace.

–

A night of sweet dreams.

Liu Sisi had been particularly busy lately, and couldn’t even take care of the children.

Fortunately, the children were all sensible, and with maids and pageboys to take care of their basic needs, there wasn’t much for Liu Sisi to do.

After breakfast, Di Yelei disappeared without a trace, whereas Liu Sisi, on her part, had written a letter early in the morning, sealed it with wax, and sent someone to deliver it to those people in Gongzhou in person.

When she finally had some free time, Liu Sisi directly inquired about suitable matches for Di Wei around her.

When it came to suitable candidates, the first people Liu Sisi thought of were Di Yelei’s trusted soldiers. Knowing them inside and out, choosing from among them was possible, and she could have Di Yelei examine them to prevent choosing the wrong person.

It was then that Guihua reminded her, “What you’re doing is for Di Wei’s sake, but I fear that Di Wei, being young, might think these people are beneath her, fit only to be servants. If in the end no marriage is made, and you turn allies into foes, that would not be good.”

After considering several candidates, Liu Sisi felt that Guihua’s point was valid, so she began to think of other potential matches instead.

Before she could find a suitable match, County Magistrate Zhu paid another visit.

This time, he was accompanied by the Dean of the academy.

“Princess, my purpose in coming here today is to humbly request that you grace the academy with a visit. Everyone there is eagerly looking forward to admiring the Princess’s noble countenance.”

Initially, as conflict erupted, a large group of bandits rampaged through the area, killing all in their path. Even the students at the academy did not escape their fate.

It was Liu Sisi who, with four Hidden Guards at that time, along with nearby villagers and the surviving students of the academy, slaughtered all of the bandits. Corpses piled up at the foot of the mountain like a hill, which deterred the bandits lurking around. The villagers were finally able to take a breath.

Therefore, in the hearts of those people, Liu Sisi was exceedingly dear.

Liu Sisi thought for a moment, “The academy was built by my own hands, I indeed should visit there, but not today. Here’s what we’ll do, in three days, I Liu Sisi will definitely visit the academy and see everyone.”

Although he did not succeed in taking Liu Sisi with him that day, the Dean was quite pleased to have obtained her promise.

“If that is so, we will await the Princess’s esteemed presence at the academy.”

After the Dean left, Chou Chou, who was by her side, couldn’t contain his curiosity and asked, “Mom, why didn’t you agree to visit them today?”

“Silly child, Mom naturally has her own reasons.”

Liu Sisi smiled mysteriously!

There were things they didn’t understand because they were not privy to the whole story. However, she had things she needed to do, and even if she had to suffer through bloodshed, she would strive for what she should strive for and bow her head when it was time to do so!

In the afternoon, with minimal fuss, Liu Sisi went to the location of the old village school.

To her surprise, the site of the old village school had become a pile of ruins. Everywhere were traces left by a great fire, and only the shadow wall was still standing quietly in its place, covered in ivy.

She could barely believe her eyes!

The follower sent to gather information returned quickly, “Reporting to the Princess, according to the nearby villagers, this village school was once overrun and then set ablaze by bandits. After the fire died down, many ash remains were dug out, and the villagers picked them up for burial. The place has since been deserted.”

“What about the teachers there? Have you found out anything about them?”

Liu Sisi asked anxiously.
