Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family-Chapter 1061 - 1060: Gather Together (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Chapter 1061: Chapter 1060: Gather Together (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Liu Sisi was currently descending the mountain with Granny Peng.

She knew that going down the mountain was not a wise move, yet she had no choice.

The mountain top was only so large, once daylight broke, she would have nowhere to hide, her only option was to rush down the mountain before daybreak and take her chances.

However, when the two of them reached the outskirts at the foot of the mountain, Granny Peng suddenly dragged her into the nearby bushes to hide.

"Granny Peng, have you discovered something?"

Liu Sisi quietly inquired, cautiously sizing up the person beside her.

She then shook her head forcefully, scattering the unwarranted emotions that arose in her mind, and chided herself internally.

Granny Peng had saved her on several occasions, how could she... doubt her? That was terribly inappropriate. If Granny Peng knew, who knows how she would view her.

Granny Peng shook her head and pointed to one side, "Things at the foot of the mountain seem amiss. Look over there at the disorder, all these signs exude a peculiar aura. Isn’t it possible that there’s an ambush, and the enemy is casting a wide net, waiting for us to fall right into it?" Granny Peng’s words carried a hint of hesitation.

Following the direction Granny Peng pointed, Liu Sisi only saw some disheveled weeds and could not understand where the other party’s judgment came from.

She looked up at the sky, which was already revealing faint traces of white light; the time until daybreak was quickly approaching!

"What should we do now? Keep waiting?"

Granny Peng hesitated slightly but then decisively shook her head, "No, we can’t wait anymore! We have at most half an hour before it gets light, and there’s not much time left for us. We must quickly get through this small town and leave this place."

"But where can we leave from?"

This small town was nestled at the foot of the mountain, completely surrounding the whole mountain. How could they get through the town without being noticed? That was indeed a big problem.

"Actually... there is a way."

Granny Peng seemed very hesitant.

"What is the way? Please tell me!"

"It’s to go by the waterway."

Granny Peng pointed to a small stream not far away, "This stream flows down from the mountain. If we follow the stream to leave the town, we might be able to avoid the residents of the town. But we must be fast! Any later and the town’s people will be getting up to fetch water."

At the moment, there was half an hour until daybreak, and people were already beginning to rise early one after another.

Liu Sisi nodded firmly and immediately stood up, "Let’s go! We must move now, as any delay could lead to problems."

Behind the two of them, hidden in the shadows were countless pairs of eyes, watching their every move, yet no one stirred, still silently lying in wait in the darkness. freewebnσvel.cѳm

The two quickly reached the edge of the stream, walking along the small stream.

The water in the early morning was bone-chilling, making them shiver as they gritted their teeth and moved forward. True enough, they saw people beginning to line up to fetch water in the open area ahead. The two exchanged glances and had no choice but to rise from the water and hide in the dark nearby, waiting for an opportunity to act.

"It’s about to get light. What do we do now?"

Granny Peng seemed very anxious.

"Don’t worry, Granny Peng, there’s always a solution when we reach the mountain. We will find a way," whispered Liu Sisi, trying to comfort her companion while feeling a surge of urgency inside.

But what should they do now?

The exact location of the two was soon relayed to the ears of Lin Xiner.

She laughed genuinely, "Si Er has grown up now and has her own opinions... That’s right, has Commander Peng sent any messages?"

"Commander Peng has been with the Princess all this time, so we have been unable to pass on any messages. However, we are already devising a plan and will definitely convey Your Majesty’s intentions to her as soon as possible."

"Good! Very good, tell her to keep a close eye on Si Er’s movements, and protect her incidentally. If there is even the slightest mistake, bring me your head!"

A flash of murderous intent swept quickly through Lin Xiner’s starry eyes!

"Yes! I will make sure to convey the message promptly."

The follower quickly replied, then hesitated slightly, "Your Majesty, the pursuing troops will reach the small town in no more than half a cup of tea’s time. How should we handle this?"

"No matter, let me personally meet them!"

A gleam shot through Lin Xiner’s eyes, and she quickly got ready and headed towards the back of the small town.

Di Yelei was truly capable, having caught up so quickly.

Standing at the town’s entrance, with the mountain wind rustling and lifting the hem of her dress, making it flutter with noise.

Lin Xiner looked up at the sky, which was beginning to lighten!

When Di Yelei and his horsemen charged to the town’s entrance, he instinctively stopped. The figure standing on the high ground was extraordinarily petite, yet it caused him to furrow his brows subconsciously, and a sense of irritation welled up from within him.

He wondered if Si Si would blame him if he simply killed her outright.

After thinking for a moment, then shaking his head, Forget it! After all, she is Si Si’s birth mother. For her sake, this woman cannot fall by my hand. Moreover, so far, she has not lifted a finger against us... Let’s just wait a little longer.

"You really made it here quickly! Marquis Yongping, have you finally understood the words I said before, and agreed to my demand?"

Lin Xiner called out loudly, as if she was discussing a common joke.

Yet, she was extremely vigilant inwardly, unable to feel any contempt for the Marquis Yongping standing before her.

Di Yelei chuckled lightly, glanced at Zuo Xingyu by his side, only to realize that at some point, he had vanished without a trace.

With a thought fleeting through his mind, his expression remained completely unchanged, purposefully slowing down his speech to buy time, "Why would you say that, Princess? We came here today to ask the Princess to return someone. Plainly speaking, even if you are the mother-in-law, to detain this Marquis’s wife, that’s going a bit too far. Considering the Marquis has pursued you tirelessly all night, for the sake of this effort, I implore the Lady Mother-in-law to grant me this favor!"

"Marquis Yongping, your words are indeed strange. I’ve also said before, my daughter and I haven’t seen each other for over twenty years, and we wish to have a few days to talk. You are so eager to chase after us, could it be that you don’t take me seriously at all?"

Lin Xiner questioned sharply.

Di Yelei, on the contrary, rubbed his nose, "What are you talking about, Lady Mother-in-law? Si Si and I are husband and wife, and having not seen her for a few days, I miss her dearly now. I ask that Lady Mother-in-law grant my wish!"

As he spoke, he greeted Lin Xiner with a fist, exuding an air of righteousness.

She really was as tough to crack as a green bean!

Lin Xiner’s patience seemed to run out, "I still stand by what I said before, as long as the Marquis agrees to help our Great Xia, we can discuss everything. No matter what the Marquis demands, I the Empress will personally agree to them all. How about that?"

After all the back and forth, they ended up back at the original sticking point.

Di Yelei furrowed his brows and couldn’t help but sneer coldly, "The Princess wants to see His Majesty, doesn’t she? I’ve written down all of the Princess’s intentions and sent them to the capital with utmost haste. By now, the dossiers before His Majesty probably contain the petition I submitted. It’s just that I don’t know how His Majesty will react."
