Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family-Chapter 1047 - 1046: Sisi Trapped in Prison

Liu Sisi’s two eyes suddenly narrowed, and her whole body shuddered with a jolt of shock!

It was then that she suddenly remembered, could the words spoken by her foster mother actually be the truth?

Nowadays, she lived in luxury, surrounded by crowds of servants; from any perspective, she didn’t seem like someone who would miss a meal if her biological daughter were absent. Plus, considering what she said earlier, "You and I are but sacrifices in the political struggles of men." Unless...

"Si Er, come quickly! Sit down and eat. Mom doesn’t know what you like, so I made a bit of everything I like. See if it suits your taste?"

Lin Xiner called out to her earnestly.

Liu Sisi didn’t refuse. She walked over to the table and was instantly dazzled by the array of dishes spread before her.

There were more than thirty or forty dishes!

The dazzling array of dishes made Liu Sisi’s eyes whirl, and she was unable to start eating.

"Eat, eat! These dishes won’t taste as good if they get cold. They’re best enjoyed warm."

Lin Xiner earnestly picked up a piece of braised fish lips with her chopsticks and placed it in her own plate, chewed, swallowed, and then smiled as she spoke.

Only then did Liu Sisi notice that the maids who had served the dishes had all withdrawn. There was no one behind her to serve the food. So, she picked up the silver chopsticks and reached for the phoenix-tail goose palm closest to her.

The goose palm was crispy and slightly sweet, extremely delicious.

"Mom doesn’t know your daily habits, so I dismissed the maids. Just the two of us will eat slowly, without those annoying things spoiling our sight."

Lin Xiner seemed to be in a very good mood, swallowing a piece of pigeon frolicking with frog and then reached with her chopsticks for a crab roe fish maw beside her.

Liu Sisi was slightly stunned, but still extended her chopsticks and picked some pearl crust Jew’s ear abalone into her bowl.

While they were talking, Lin Xiner picked up two glaze cups and produced a bottle of wine out of nowhere, pouring half a cup directly.

"Come! Mom has also brought some of the fine wine I’ve treasured. To celebrate our reunion, let’s have a drink together!"

Liu Sisi, as if possessed, took the cup and looked at Lin Xiner and suddenly laughed!

She took a small sip, allowing the tartness with a hint of sweetness to spread in her mouth...

True to Lin Xiner’s words, the two of them took turns eating and truly enjoyed themselves. Candlelight flickered in the room, casting a dim yellow halo that dazzled Liu Sisi’s eyes.

It wasn’t clear if it was the fine wine or the scene in front of her that completely intoxicated Liu Sisi!

She suddenly laughed uproariously, then sang a modern song at the top of her lungs, whose lyrics she couldn’t fully remember, eventually passing out drunk and collapsing onto the chair, fast asleep.

The cold moonlight spilled inside, laying a silver glow over the room.

Lin Xiner was also drunk and mumbled something, looking at Liu Sisi with an indescribable affection in her eyes.

"Si Er, let us, mother and daughter, cast a big white..."

And she didn’t return all night!

Di Yelei stood quietly in the small courtyard for the whole night!

He was also in turmoil all night, letting the morning fog moisten his entire body, thick dew condensing on his beard and eyebrows.

His heart sank to the bottom. His eyes were full of bloodshot veins, and his hands clenched into fists. He punched the wall forcefully, making a loud bang, and immediately broke a big hole in it!

Sisi, Sisi! Sisi...

Jealousy stuck in his throat, making breathing difficult for him.

He pressed his head against the wall, ramming his head forcefully to vent the rage in his heart!

"My lord, what... what’s going on?"

A cautious inquiry came from behind, causing Di Yelei to stop his self-destructive behavior and silently close his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, calm had already returned to his pupils.

He straightened up, brushing off the disheveled hair, then turned to stare at Old Cheng behind him, "No matter! Old Cheng, go and prepare a horse for me, I have to go out for a while!" freeweɓnovel.cøm

"Yes, Old Master Marquis!"

Old Cheng did not say anything more and hurriedly turned to prepare.

Di Yelei’s imposing aura deflated as he sighed and turned to walk into the house.

No, that won’t do!

He must go and see for himself!

Even if it meant death, he had to understand what had happened.

With that thought, he could no longer stay put and hurriedly rushed into the house to change his clothes, then dashed out of the courtyard, straddling his horse and galloping away.

He headed straight for the moat embankment outside the city, searching around without any discovery. Annoyed, he punched a big tree, his worry deepening.

He should have come here last night!

A night had passed, how could he possibly find anyone now!

The more anxious he became, the more his gaze swept into the shadowy places, and with such looking, he indeed noticed many unusual spots.

Huh! What’s that?

Di Yelei felt a stir in his heart and subconsciously lowered his head to examine closely.

The more he looked, the paler his face became, his eyes emitting a spine-chilling radiance.

Liu Sisi awoke in a daze, and by the time she did, it was already bright outside. She was lying flat on a pink silk curtain, with nobody around her except for the chirping of birds from outside, which was exceptionally serene.

She was dazed for a while before she finally regained her composure, rubbing her hangover-ridden forehead and sitting up. As soon as she made a move, someone from outside immediately called out: "Princess! Do you need us slaves to come in and serve you to wash up?"

"Come in."

Liu Sisi did not refuse, directly agreeing.

A procession of maids entered one by one, tending to Liu Sisi without a sound.

After drinking some hangover tea and luxuriating in a petal bath, wringing out her hair, and eating some light food, she finally felt revived.

"Where is she? Why don’t I see her?"

Liu Sisi did not know how to face her, yet couldn’t help but be curious about her whereabouts. After a night’s rumination, her mood had stabilized, and new questions arose.

What was her status now? Why was she here? What business did she have coming for her?

Question after question swirled in her mind, urgently waiting for her to answer.

"The Master is busy with matters, Princess. Before she left, she ordered that should the Princess awaken, you should wait a while, and she would come to see you later," said the maid in a soft and gentle voice, not even a hint of worldliness about her.

Liu Sisi instinctively furrowed her brows and looked up at the bright sunshine outside: "May I walk around in the courtyard?"

"Of course, Princess. The Master has ordered that anything you wish for be fulfilled as much as possible. Do you wish to change into proper clothes for going out?"

"That would be good."

The reason Liu Sisi mentioned going to the courtyard, of course, had a bit of a testing intention. It hadn’t occurred to her that such an instruction was actually in place; her heart lightened slightly, allowing the maids to fuss over her once more, changing her into a set of outdoor clothes before she stepped out of the house.

The scenery inside and outside the courtyard was uniquely enchanting. Liu Sisi looked around to discover that she was in the depths of the mountains, lush and green, completely disoriented.

She was immediately dumbfounded!

Where on earth was she now?
