The day after tomorrow naturally came in the blink of an eye.

Early in the morning before the sky was bright, Liu Sisi’s family set off.

Liu Zhi’er’s neck still had strangulation marks, so he naturally stayed at home and didn’t go out.

Di Xuan and Di Ying dressed up anew, flanked their parents on the left and right, and happily sat in the carriage.

Ying’er was like an inexhaustible little sparrow, chirping constantly, very cheerful.

Xuan’er wanted to talk but glanced at Di Yelei beside him, and began to sit up straight in the carriage like a little adult imitating his father.

Today, Di Yelei was wearing a watercolor-colored suit. His black hair was bundled with a black satin ribbon, and his deep and spirited eyes were accentuated by his thick sword-like eyebrows slanting into his hair. He truly had a straight and upright body and a stately appearance.

Liu Sisi couldn’t help but raise her head to look at him from time to time, her smile making her watery eyes curved like a full moon, even the corners of her tender pink lips raised high.

“Why are you looking at your husband so much? Have you suddenly found out you like me?”

When Di Yelei turned his head, his honest face suddenly wore a wicked smile as he whispered to her.

Liu Sisi nodded and shook her head: “Yes and no. It was only today that I suddenly realized that you were rather pleasant to look at.”

In fact, it was much more than just pleasant to look at!

Di Yelei was a fine wine that became more fragrant as time went on, the kind of man that she could hardly take her eyes off and couldn’t bear to look away from.

Her words unexpectedly pleased Di Yelei, who laughed twice, pulling her into his arms: “Little kitten, you can’t just be discovering your husband’s good points now, can you? You really have poor taste!”

“Let go! Look, both Xuan’er and Ying’er are laughing at you!” There were two children here after all!

Her words were arguably reminding him.

Liu Sisi angrily stomped on his new shoes. With a light struggle, she finally broke free from his embrace.

“Big brother, with your attitude, how could you discover your good points? Can’t you be the least bit embarrassed?”

Di Yelei couldn’t help but grin, letting go of her small body while still holding her hand.

“A husband’s and wife’s affection is a matter of principle and order, so what’s there to be embarrassed about? On the contrary, you, who are so afraid of this and that, make us miss a lot of joys in our boudoirs.”

Liu Sisi’s face exploded red, from her ears to her neck!

She could barely look at the two children beside her and couldn’t help but pinch Di Yelei’s arm.

“You…bastard!”

She wasn’t going to bother with this unbridled scoundrel anymore!

“Ouch! It hurts… Sisi, you’re so cold-hearted…” Di Yelei’s face is full of bitterness!

“Mom! Dad’s so bad! Mom, let’s not talk to bad Dad anymore!”

Inside the carriage, Ying’er’s giggle and Di Xuan’s forced laughter could be heard.

“Alright! We won’t talk to him anymore!”

A happy female voice came from the carriage, accompanied by a deep and indulgent male voice that reached far away…

Outside the carriage, the coachman who was driving was also infected by this warm family. He raised his whip and urged the horse with a “giddy up” to speed towards the distance.

The Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet was held in the official residence of the county government today.

By the time Liu Sisi and her party arrived, there were already dozens of carriages parked in front of the official residence.

As soon as the carriage stopped, a coachman quickly hopped out and placed the footstool down before lifting the curtain.

With the curtain pulled open, a young boy dressed as a page stepped out, curiously looking at his surroundings before immediately restraining his curiosity and stepping down from the carriage using the footstool.

Afterward, a little girl wearing a goose yellow dress bounced out of the carriage, leaping from the edge of the carriage directly onto the ground, then shouting back to the carriage.

“Mom! Hurry up! Please, hurry up!”

“Ying’er! What kind of behavior is that for a girl, bouncing around like that!”

Following a deep scolding, a man emerged from the carriage, glanced around at the lively surroundings, and then helped a petite figure out from the carriage.

As soon as she appeared, everyone’s eyes were instantly drawn to her.

The petite figure stood beside the tall and upright man like a delicate bird, making a perfect pair.

She wore a rose red gold magnolia hairpin on her head, a cloud bud and begonia hairpin as well, and numerous tiny pearls were embellished in her hair. As she walked, the jadeite scattered flower earrings on her ears trembled slightly, and the emerald bracelet on the slender jade wrist gleamed! The peony red sprinkled bright gold carved butterfly pattern clasp trailed down the front, secured with a golden thread jade belt, and her narrow robe was made of red satin embroidered with a hundred butterflies.

As she moved, she sparkled with the radiance of a glazed cup, dazzling the eyes of everyone around her.

Liu Sisi’s mouth curled up in a radiant smile. In her heart, however, she cursed all those who hid in the shadows, constantly plotting against her!

In order for these people to achieve their goals sooner and for her to return to her life’s track, she had spared no expense today!

Even the embroidered shoes on her feet were specially sewn with pearls slightly smaller than longan!

Every time she walked, she attracted countless hidden glances.

“Ye Lei, who are those

suspicious people lurking around? Watch them closely, and we’ll follow the vine later!”

Liu Sisi was full of fighting spirit!

She was like a rubber ball, like a spring! The more you press, the stronger her rebound!

Di Yelei smiled faintly, looking very honest: “Don’t worry! Later on, Ying’er and Xuan’er will be by your side, so be extra cautious and don’t let the villains take advantage of the situation!”

“I know!” Liu Sisi nodded her head.

The two chatted as they walked inside.

At the main entrance of the official residence, County Magistrate Su and Mrs. Su, who were welcoming guests, were already waiting. Seeing the arrival of Liu Sisi’s party, the couple exchanged glances and hurriedly approached them.

“Haha!… So it’s Miss Gan gracing us with her presence. Such an honor, such an honor! Ye Lei, you’re really looking stronger! Once we’re inside, make sure to have a few drinks! Please, come inside!”

As County Magistrate Su spoke, he welcomed Di Yelei into the front hall.

As Liu Sisi handed out the gift list, the account book sang: “Eldest Miss of Gan Family sent a jadeite and a piece of Su embroidery!”

Mrs. Su also came forward, and the two women greeted each other.

After leading Liu Sisi to the backyard and chatting for a while, Mrs. Su took her leave apologetically when more guests arrived.

Liu Sisi breathed a sigh of relief, as she was not used to such social occasions. Hastily, she led the two children to the garden in the backyard.

“Xuan’er, Ying’er, this is not like other places. Remember to follow your mother at all times and do not leave her side. Without your mother’s permission, do not accept anything from strangers, understand?”

Liu Sisi couldn’t help but repeatedly reminded them.

“We know, mom!” The two children eagerly responded.

Today the writing feels a bit stuck. Ahem!
