Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family-Chapter 1035 - 1034: See the Other Party Off
Chapter 1035: Chapter 1034: See the Other Party Off
Worrying that distance could cause an impact, Prince Luo came to Macheng County two days before the wedding gift presentation, under the pretext of inspecting the local conditions.
Thirteenth Luo also followed, but unfortunately, due to the influence of traditional customs, Liu Sisi did not get to see Thirteenth Luo.
Chou Chou also found convenience, being released from the Ancestral Hall two days before the wedding gift presentation.
Upon seeing Liu Sisi, Chou Chou immediately threw himself into her arms and sobbed bitterly, continuously apologizing, which made everyone watching frequently wipe their tears.
This forgetful scamp, hoping to escape punishment, was still determinedly spanked twice on the rear by Liu Sisi.
"Don’t think you can dream of escaping punishment just because you can wail loudly! Tell me, will you make the same mistake again?"
"I won’t, I promise I won’t do it ever again!"
Having been spanked twice on the bottom, even by his own mother, Chou Chou’s face turned red, and he quickly sought refuge in the crowd, causing everyone to laugh heartily.
When the day of the wedding gift presentation finally arrived, everyone started preparing early.
Di Yelei not only hunted a pair of living wild geese, but he also prepared fine wine, pastry, fruits, silk, and all other necessary items. The quality of these items showed just how fond Liu Sisi really was of Di Xuan.
Maybe it was the joy of a festive occasion, but Liu Sisi’s health had also rapidly improved recently, and at the moment she was happily greeting the guests with a beaming face. Only when everyone was seated according to status, did she joyfully say.
"Marquis Yongwu, I am much obliged to you for making this trip for Xuan’er’s sake."
"Hahaha... It’s nothing at all. It is an honor for the Princess to trust me so much. I shall certainly see to it that this matter is carried out flawlessly. Princess Ruyu, you may just wait peacefully for the good news."
Marquis Yongwu laughed heartily, patting his chest to give his guarantee.
Generally, for families of high-tier officials and nobles, the details of a marriage are agreed upon in advance before even sending a matchmaker for appearances, so Marquis Yongwu was naturally confident.
Di Yelei was also happy, "Today is Xuan’er’s big joyful day, and everyone can eat and drink to their heart’s content while awaiting the good news. Marquis Yongwu, I’m at a loss for words to express my gratitude. Should you have any tasks in the future, do not hesitate to let Ye Lei know.
"Hahaha... Don’t mention it, I’m just here to enjoy a cup of water wine; it’s nothing so grand as a favor."
Marquis Yongwu laughed proudly, then set off for the county with the gifts that had been prepared well in advance.
While the matchmaker, Marquis Yongwu, was on his way, Liu Sisi quickly whispered to Ms. Gao, who was beside her, and not long after, Ms. Gao returned and gave Liu Sisi a slight nod.
Liu Sisi stood up and walked toward the inner room.
A moment later, Di Wei hurriedly arrived.
"I have already had someone find out. The man near the center, beside that evergreen, is Captain Ding. Later, as we pass by the edge of where the male guests are, remember to seize the moment to clearly see his face, and make sure not to lose decorum."
Liu Sisi was genuinely worried Di Wei would forget her manners in front of the guests.
"Don’t worry, Third Aunt, Wei’er understands."
Di Wei was wearing a short jade-green jacket today, with a rose-colored soft chiffon pleated skirt draped over it, cinched at the waist with a light silk scarf, her hair done up in a flying-cloud bun, and adorned with a jadeite hairpin gifted by Liu Sisi. Chic and playful, reserved yet shyly girl-like, she attracted nearly inescapable gazes.
Even Liu Sisi nodded in approval: "Let’s go! We should head over."
With that, she took the lead, greeting everyone along the way. As they passed by the bunch of evergreens, Liu Sisi indeed saw a strong-built man. He was talking cheerfully with someone beside him, completely animated.
Liu Sisi couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief; though she had yet to speak with the man, from what she had observed, he was more than suitable for Di Wei.
She walked all the way to the other side, and only after the curtain was lowered did Liu Sisi take a deep look at Di Wei.
"Well, are you satisfied with this person?"
This time, Di Wei didn’t decline as before, but instead shyly lowered her head with a blushing face, "I’ll leave everything to Third Aunt to decide."
Tsk tsk! It’s really not easy!
Hearing the other party’s voice, Liu Sisi secretly broke out in a huge sweat.
"Good, then you can go and rest. Just don’t cause any trouble."
Liu Sisi hurriedly instructed, since Di Gaoyuan had come over to make a fuss a while ago. Though it had nothing to do with Liu Sisi, Di Gaoyuan chose to pick on the gentle ones and actually targeted her. Liu Sisi was so angry that she ordered someone to throw the person out! fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
Today is a joyful day and must not be disturbed by such frustrations.
"Yes, Third Aunt, Wei’er will take her leave first."
Di Wei was obviously much happier, with an unrestrained joy glowing in her eyes.
But it made Liu Sisi frown deeply, finding Di Wei rather indescribable. She seemed to speak and act so artificially, awkwardly so. However, after the engagement, everything could settle down, and there would be no need to worry herself to death.
"Sisi, Sisi, come sit here."
Guihua cheerfully beckoned Liu Sisi, pointing with joy to the spot beside her.
"Our Sisi has finally made it through. Now that Xuan’er’s future marriage is settled, once the bride steps through the door, you will have much less to worry about. Your hard times will turn sweet."
Liu Sisi took her seat as suggested, and couldn’t help but laugh, "How could it be as easy as Guihua says? Xuan’er is still too young this year, and it’s too early for the bride to enter our family. Even if the bride does enter, the subsequent birth and raising of children is no small matter, and it can worry a person’s hair white."
"Don’t worry, don’t worry. Handling such big matters is never that easy. Even when everything is ready, it will be at least half a year later. By then, let’s see if you are anxious!"
Guihua turned and spoke, the teasing expression on her face growing thicker.
"I definitely won’t be anxious, it should be Xuan’er who’s in a rush."
Liu Sisi also couldn’t resist smiling. As she spoke, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of her eye.
Here he comes!
Her smile vanished, and her gaze briefly met Ms. Gao’s as she nodded slightly to her.
Ms. Gao quickly went downstairs while she continued to chat and laugh with an open heart, though her mind was clearly no longer present.
Guihua, familiar with Liu Sisi, immediately noticed her unusual demeanor and quickly asked in a low voice while using the tea sipping as a cover, "Sisi, what’s wrong?"
"Nothing, but it seems that two unwanted fish have slipped in. Don’t worry about it."
Last time, these people took advantage of the chaos to abduct Chou Chou, and today they’ve sneaked in again. Could it be they want to employ the same trick and abduct Chou Chou once more?
Did they really think it would be that simple?
A fierce radiance flashed in Liu Sisi’s eyes! Since the other party was courting death, she certainly didn’t mind giving them a push.
