Chapter 720: Chapter 720: One Hundred Thousand White Flower Silvers
“No need to worry! Zhao Jiong won’t take my life; if he really wanted to kill me, I wouldn’t be alive till today.”
Back then, she was still in swaddling clothes and had no resistance. If he wanted to kill her, why wait till today? However, her guard against Zhao Jiong became heavier!
He won’t harm her life, but that doesn’t mean he won’t use her; these are two different things.
“I may go to Shangrao County again soon to solve the warhorse matter as soon as possible, and then return to Gong City. Anyway, no matter what, I will definitely come to the triplet’s Hundred-Day Feast!”
Nan Tianzong was carefully explaining, his words seemed deeply concerned about Liu Sisi’s situation.
“Well, you go ahead and get busy with your things first. As for the triplet’s 100-day banquet, I will keep a seat for you. After all, you are their Uncle, you have to come no matter what.”
“Haha! Definitely, I will definitely come!”
Nan Tianzong laughed heartily, and then stood up, took a deep look at Liu Sisi, and walked away without looking back.
Sisi, rest assured!
If anyone wants to hurt you, let him step over my corpse first!
In the following few days, Nan Tianzong was nowhere to be seen. Di Yelei was extremely busy as well; he went to the Di Family and then headed straight to Shangrao County. By the time he returned, he was with Nan Tianzong.
The returning two were beaming, looking very happy.
“Sisi, it’s done!”
What they were talking about being done, naturally, meant the matter of warhorses.
“Done? So fast!”
No wonder Liu Sisi was surprised! From the time they went out to their return, only a few days had passed.
Nan Tianzong smiled contentedly: “It’s a long story, but to cut it short, Mrs. Sun of the Sun Family turns out to be the Old Madam’s niece in the main Family! Since Elder Di issued the order, the Old Madam personally accompanied us on a visit, and things were done! However, even so, for 1000 excellent warhorses, it cost 100,000 taels of silver.”
“100,000 taels? Can you two afford so much?”
Liu Sisi was also surprised. Just 1000 warhorses cost 100,000 taels of silver, and this was a family price. It seems that the warhorse was truly a valuable thing. What a good business to profit from!
However, thinking about it, aren’t the warhorses of this era equivalent to the planes and cannons of the next life? With such a thought, it is reasonable to be expensive.
“Really not much, the first time we went there, they asked for two million taels of silver.”
Di Yelei seemed quite happy as well.
“Don’t get too happy too soon. Although this crisis is over for now, from the look on the Old Madam’s face, I’m afraid you’ll be tied to the Di Family’s big ship from now on.” Nan Tianzong said as if he couldn’t stand the good times.
“Doesn’t matter, I Di Yelei won’t be forced to do something I don’t want to do by the main Family! But this 100,000 is not a small amount, where will the money come from? By the way, how is the situation over there?” Di Yelei was referring to the progress of the gold mine.
“Later, let’s go and have a look together!”
Nan Tianzong thought for a while and said, looking back at Liu Sisi, who was smiling like a spring breeze: “Sisi, I haven’t tasted the cooked dishes made by you for a long time. I really miss them. I don’t know if I have the fortune to taste them today?”
Is he driving her away?
“Brother, rest assured, the food in the kitchen has been prepared. I’ll go and urge them, and they will come later.”
Liu Sisi obediently walked out of the room and gently closed the door for the two.
Outside the door, the number of people originally following Di Yelei seemed to have doubled. Those who could enter and exit the Di Residence were all his trusted soldiers.
It seems their plot is not small!
However, thinking about it, it was normal; Big Brother’s identity was indeed awkward, and many things were done involuntarily.
Liu Sisi sighed quietly.
“Cousin Luo, Brother, hurry up! Hurry up, if we’re late, there won’t be anything left.”
From afar, YingEr’s excited call could be heard.
Behind her were Di Xuan with a carefree smile on his face, and Thirteenth Luo, whose eyes were still wrapped in a cloth strip.
Ever since that day when Di Xuan and Thirteenth Luo had an accidental encounter, Di Xuan would take YingEr to visit Thirteenth Luo almost every day.
At first, when Thirteenth Luo talked to YingEr, Di Xuan just listened. Later, he gradually let go, and because of Thirteenth Luo’s unhealthy sight, when everyone was playing together, Di Xuan unconsciously took on the role of Big Brother, carefully taking care of the two.
At the moment, what Liu Sisi saw was such a warm and harmonious scene.
“Brother, Cousin Luo, you guys are walking too slow! If we’re any later, the storyteller will leave, and we won’t be able to listen.”
YingEr urged them repeatedly, jogging while looking back.
Di Xuan and Thirteenth Luo behind her were just following at a leisurely pace, and all three of them had smiles on their faces.
“Don’t worry, that storyteller can tell several stories throughout the day; there’s really no need to rush.”
Since Thirteenth Luo’s eyes were unhealthy, she couldn’t walk fast with the support of two maids.
YingEr ran while looking back, not paying attention to the road ahead, and bumped straight into Liu Sisi, who quickly held her in her arms.
“Watch out, your wound has just healed. You mustn’t run around or strain yourself. Understand?”
YingEr looked up and met Liu Sisi’s eyes, smiling with her eyebrows curving: “Mom! Le Ping said that a storyteller came outside, and his stories are very interesting. Do you want to go with us? It’s so much fun over there.”
“A storyteller? Where is he telling the stories?”
Liu Sisi glanced discreetly at Le Ping, and the authority in her eyes made him feel bitter. He couldn’t express the fact that he was forced to say it out loud. How could he be blamed for that?
YingEr, completely oblivious to the tense atmosphere, still sweetly coaxed: “Mom, it’s at a tea house not far from our mansion’s gate. My brother, Cousin Luo, and I are going together. We’ll be back in a while.”
There were indeed dark sentries stationed near the tea house, which made Liu Sisi feel more at ease.
“Alright! You guys go ahead. Just be careful on the road. Thirteen, your two maids are capable, and they will take good care of you. However, you should also pay more attention yourself.”
Thirteenth Luo bowed slightly, understanding the deeper meaning of Liu Sisi’s words.
“Aunt Liu, don’t worry. Thirteen will be back soon.”
“That’s good.”
Liu Sisi gave instructions to everyone and then looked up at Di Xuan, who had been standing quietly on the side and not saying anything.
“Xuan’er, you’re a boy and a big brother. Remember to take good care of YingEr and Thirteen, alright?”
“Mom, Xuan’er knows.”
The little Ying beside them became impatient: “Mom, if we’re any later, the storyteller might leave…”
Was she complaining that she talked too much? Liu Sisi smiled and stroked YingEr’s head: “Alright, I won’t hold you back from listening to stories anymore. Get out of here quickly!”
“Mom, we’re leaving!”
Watching the several little ones walk out one after the other, Liu Sisi sighed silently about how time flies and turns people old. In the blink of an eye, all the little ones had grown up.
