Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family-Chapter 770 - : News about Di Yelei!

Chapter 770: Chapter 770: News about Di Yelei!

His eyes were fixed on the plate of cakes, and he refused to move his feet.

“You really are a little greedy cat!”

Liu Sisi affectionately tapped his little nose, then took a piece from the plate and put it in his mouth.

“Go change your clothes and wash up first. You’re not allowed to eat any cakes until you’re clean.”

Instead of obeying with the cake already in his mouth, the little guy rubbed his face against Liu Sisi for a while, smearing her face with cake crumbs. Before she could get angry, he quickly climbed down from her arms and jumped out of the flower hall.

“This little mud monkey…”

Liu Sisi shook her head helplessly and wiped her face.

Ms. Gao and Old Cheng, who were nearby, laughed heartily. Ms. Gao handed her a towel with a smile, “Madam, wipe it off. There’s some on your forehead too.”

Liu Sisi felt embarrassed, “That little bastard! When he comes out later, I’ll teach him a lesson! By the way, where are Niuniu and Little Bit?”

It was strange that Little Bit would miss such a good opportunity to tease her brother, and yet he was nowhere to be seen.

“What happened? Niuniu and Little Bit are missing again?”

With a deep voice, Zuo Xingyu, dressed in a mysterious robe, walked in from outside the door.

Time had not left any traces on his face. Instead, the deep furrow between his eyebrows had become deeper and more intense than before.

Initially, when the Di Residence was heavily besieged, Zuo Xingyu had been hiding in the shadows, planning to provide assistance at a critical moment. However, he never had the opportunity to help until the very end.

Afterwards, Liu Sisi ordered Da Niu and Er Niu to escort Prefecture Princess Luo and the others to the capital. Upon realizing that they were just a group of children, Zuo Xingyu secretly followed them to the capital. It was only when they encountered danger halfway that everyone realized he had been protecting them all along. Then, he stayed by the triplets’ side, serving as their secret guardian.

“Xingyu is here? Come in and have a seat.”

Liu Sisi quickly greeted him, “That’s right, I just let the three little ones take a nap. They were fine when I left, but as soon as I turned my back, all three sneaked out to get themselves soaked in water. Two of them still haven’t shown up.”

As Liu Sisi was speaking, Ms. Gao, who was standing beside her, pointed to the doorway, “Look, isn’t that the Second Young Miss and the Third Young Master?”

“Mom! Mom, Niuniu missed you…”

Before the figure could get close, a soft and tender voice could be heard from afar. Soon after, a little girl in a princess dress came bouncing in, dragging a little boy who looked like a young adult into the flower hall.

“Mom! Chou Chou is so bad! You have to stand up for Niuniu… Uncle Zuo! Uncle Zuo, you’re here!”

As soon as Niuniu stepped into the flower hall, her gaze fell on Zuo Xingyu, who was standing nearby. She immediately pounced on him and hugged his thigh, “Uncle Zuo, you’re so naughty! You promised to visit Niuniu yesterday, but you didn’t keep your word. Humph! Niuniu is angry!”

Niuniu’s pouting little mouth could probably hang ten oil drums.

Zuo Xingyu smiled as he picked her up, which was a rare sight on his face.

“Uncle Zuo had something to do yesterday, isn’t he here to see Niuniu today?”

“Humph! Anyway, Uncle Zuo broke his promise! My mom said that a child who breaks promises isn’t a good child!” Niuniu grew more discontented as she spoke.

The two of them, one big and one small, seemed to have a good time chatting, while Little Bit beside them had a gloomy face.

“Niuniu, be good, don’t hang on Uncle Zuo. Come down quickly!”

The speaker’s voice was soft, but the words spoken carried a resolute decisiveness.

Niuniu looked back at Little Bit with grievance, then immediately buried her head in Zuo Xingyu’s arms and shook her head incessantly, “No! I won’t get down, I want to stay on Uncle Zuo’s shoulders! Hmph! Little Bit! And remember to call me Second Sister!”

Little Bit was a nickname Niuniu gave to Xiaoxiao because when Liu Sisi once mentioned that Xiaoxiao was very small when she was born, perfectly fitting the description of a little bit, and Niuniu couldn’t forget it ever since.

“Behave!”

Xiaoxiao frowned, scolding while glancing angrily at Zuo Xingyu.

Although Zuo Xingyu had protected the triplets since they were little, Xiaoxiao had always been very cautious around him, no matter how Liu Sisi tried to teach her otherwise.

Liu Sisi sighed silently. Ever since His Majesty handed the emerald thumb ring to Xiaoxiao four years ago, it was destined that her life would be different from that of others. Compared to the other two children who were growing up happily, Xiaoxiao, only four years old, had experienced countless unexpected events.

Reluctantly, Niuniu slid down from Zuo Xingyu’s arms after being yelled at by Xiaoxiao, pouting and clutching the corner of his clothes, unwilling to let go.

It seemed as though she herself was the innocent Little Red Riding Hood, and Xiaoxiao was the hateful Big Bad Wolf!

Seeing her son’s face showing signs of turning black, Liu Sisi quickly stopped the two, “That’s enough, Niuniu. You and Xiaoxiao go back to your room first. Mom needs to discuss important matters with Uncle Zuo.”

Waiting until the two children had left the flower hall one after the other, Liu Sisi turned and looked apologetically at Zuo Xingyu.

“I’m so sorry. Xiaoxiao is still too young to understand, so don’t take her words to heart.”

It wasn’t that Xiaoxiao was too young to understand, but that she understood too well!

Zuo Xingyu thought to himself, but didn’t speak out.

“No harm done. Children are like that. They’ll be better when they grow up.” Other children might, but not necessarily Xiaoxiao.

Liu Sisi didn’t hear the tone in his words and casually asked, “Big Brother Zuo, did you come for a specific reason today?”

Zuo Xingyu hesitated for a moment before deciding to speak, “Yes, it’s about Di Yelei.”

About Ye Lei? Liu Sisi’s eyes lit up in an instant!

“Has Ye Lei sent news? How is he doing now, where is he, and did he say when he’d be able to return?”

Great! Finally, there’s news from Ye Lei!

Over the years, although Di Yelei had written her letters, most of the news Liu Sisi learned came from other sources.

For example, last month, a city was reclaimed, the month before that His Majesty personally commended him, and the month before that…

She remembered each piece of news tightly, savoring them carefully during midnight hours.

This time, Zuo Xingyu hesitated even longer. He subconsciously touched the big blade hanging by his side, looked at Liu Sisi, then quickly looked away, unable to help but change his footing and cough lightly twice.

Liu Sisi’s expression darkened. Zuo Xingyu probably didn’t realize himself that whenever he was nervous, he had the habit of gripping his big blade and changing his stance. He was actually nervous? Why?

“Big Brother Zuo, just say what’s on your mind. I want to know the real situation with Ye Lei, so don’t conceal anything from me.”

She stared intently into his eyes.
