Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family

Chapter 132 - 132: 130: Nan Tianzong Makes a Move: Sisi Enters the City

After a cup of hot tea, Liu Sisi felt alive again.

“You’re saying that when Di Yelei left, someone with the nickname ‘Diao Shanbiao’ identified him as the killer?” Nan Tianzong confirmed.

Clutching her cup tightly, Liu Sisi reluctantly nodded, “Yes, Ye Lei told me himself, I wanted to ask more, but the governmental office’s runners dragged him away. I chased after him, but couldn’t outrun a fast horse…”

“You still don’t believe you’re clumsy! Can human legs run faster than a fast horse?”

Unable to help himself, Nan Tianzong raised his hand and flicked Liu Sisi before standing up from his seat, “It’s still dark outside, I’ll go and find out for you. You rest in the shop and regain your energy.”

Her eyes instantly brightened!

“Shopkeeper, do you have a way?”

Nan Tianzong glared, “I still know a few officials. If I had no ability, wouldn’t it be just letting people underestimate me? Don’t worry! I’ll go and move around. You rest assured and soon good news will come.”

“Really? Thank you, shopkeeper, thank you! You are my benefactor. If Ye Lei really comes back safely, I will definitely work hard to repay your life-saving grace!” Liu Sisi earnestly said.

“Oh! How do you plan to repay me?”

He raised her chin with his folding fan, “How about… repaying the debt with your body?”

Liu Sisi’s eyes suddenly widened, he actually…

“Hahaha! …Look how scared you are, I’m just joking! I, Nan Tianzong, am charming, elegant, and gentle. What kind of woman can’t I have? How could I be interested in dry-fried green beans like you?”

As they talked, his eyes flashed, retracted his folding fan, and deliberately looked her up and down for a while, sighing, “What a pity, such a pity!”

“…”

Liu Sisi was speechless, whether he said good or bad things, they all came from him. She tightened her collar, completely unaware that such a movement was, in fact, an invitation to men.

“What are you looking at? Keep looking, and I’ll gouge your eyes out!”

“Alright, alright! Can’t I not say it? You rest, and I’ll go out and arrange it. We’ll find out where your husband is as soon as possible.” His eyes became even more profound as he laughed and turned to leave, carefully closing the shop door.

Once the shop door closed, Nan Tianzong’s figure paused, it was all about him!

But when in danger, she came to look for him. It seemed that in her heart, there was still a place for him!

He couldn’t help laughing! It had been a long time since he had taken action, had those people forgotten about him?

It was also time to use his skills!

Liu Sisi anxiously waited in the shop, her chaotic thoughts sinking with the passage of time. It seemed that there was a noise outside the door, and she immediately woke up.

The one who entered was Nan Tianzong!

“Did you find out anything? How is Ye Lei? Is he alright? Did they torture him last night? Did they remove his shackles? He…”

“Stop!”

Nan Tianzong raised his hand to stop her continuous questions, “You just threw out so many questions, which one should I answer first?”

Liu Sisi’s eyes were tearful, and she froze on the spot.

“Did you find out any result?”

“Just now, I passed by a breakfast stall on my way back and brought some of each kind back. You can try them.” Nan Tianzong said, taking out several kinds of snacks and placing them on the counter.

Liu Sisi shook her head, “I can’t eat, just tell me the result.”

“If you don’t eat, I won’t say anything!”

Nan Tianzong crossed his arms, stubbornly looking at her. Afraid that she would go hungry, he had bought one of each kind of snack available in the small town. As a result, she didn’t even look at them, it was simply a waste!

Liu Sisi stared at his face, seeing that Nan Tianzong was serious.

“Alright, I’ll eat.”

She didn’t even look, just randomly grabbed a portion of breakfast and stuffed it into her mouth. The mouthful of mung beans choked her, tears rolling in her eyes.

“Fool! Look at you, even eating breakfast can choke you! Don’t worry! I’ve already greeted my friends, and they will make sure that your husband suffers less in prison.” He helplessly patted her back.

Liu Sisi’s eyes brightened instantly!

“Eat slowly, I’ll tell you slowly while you eat.” Nan Tianzong quickly took out soy milk and placed it in her hand.

“I asked a friend to check it out overnight. Your husband was sent to the county government prison around the second hour of the night. Due to the late night, they didn’t interrogate him. They probably won’t start a trial until this morning at the earliest.”

“Then you… Cough, cough, cough!”

She choked again because she was talking, coughing for quite a while before she caught her breath.

“Don’t worry, I’ve already talked to the coachman at the carriage shop. Later, the carriage going to the county will take us along. There’s still time now, you eat well and wash up, then we’ll go over and catch up when they’re ready to start.” Nan Tianzong had arranged everything. Remembering that she had just misunderstood him, Liu Sisi’s face was hot and she lowered her head in embarrassment.

“Thank you, shopkeeper. I…”

“If you really want to thank me, don’t call me ‘shopkeeper’ anymore.”

“Then what should I call you? Cultivated Talent Nan?”

“You and I are friends, from now on I’ll call you Sisi, and you call me Tianzong.” Nan Tianzong’s eyes sparkled, making them seem closer.

Calling each other by their two characters was too intimate, wasn’t it? What was he thinking!

“That’s too impolite. When there are outsiders, I’ll still call you shopkeeper. When there are no outsiders, I’ll call you big brother, Brother Nan!”

Brother Nan?

Nan Tianzong frowned slightly dissatisfied, but soon let go, after all, one can’t become a fatty by eating a meal!

“Alright! I just bought a set of clothes outside, they might not fit well, but let’s do our best for now. You finish eating first, then go wash up and change. I’ll wait for you outside.” Nan Tianzong spoke and left the bookstore, closing the room door again.

Outside the bookstore, there were shelves, a counter in the middle, and a small room in the back. The back door of the small room led directly to Aunt Cao’s planed noodles stall.

Sisi went into the small room to tidy herself up and was startled by the unkempt hair and unrecognizable color of the face visible within!

She really admired Nan Tianzong’s eyesight. It was pitch-black last night, and he could still recognize her like this.

She carefully tidied herself up and put on the clothes Nan Tianzong brought.

This was a hemp men’s shirt, and Liu Sisi recognized that this type of clothing was mostly prepared for house servants by wealthy families. He probably intended for her to pretend to be a house servant and sneak into the prison with him.

When Liu Sisi came out of the bookstore, Nan Tianzong’s eyes brightened, and a young scholar with delicate features and young age appeared before him.

A gleam flashed in his eyes, “Let’s go! Now is the perfect time.”
