Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family

Chapter 133 - 133:  131: The Hearts of Husband and Wife Meet and Their Feelings Flow Unceasingly

The Carriage Shop Nan Tianzong mentioned was a small business in Liuping Town that transported goods to the county city every morning. The shopkeeper behind the shop was very mysterious, and no one had ever seen him.

When the two arrived, several carriages were about to leave.

“Find a seat yourself; we’re about to set off. Hurry up!”

Liu Sisi didn’t bother with anything else, so she randomly climbed onto a nearby carriage and sat down next to the driver’s seat. The carriage soon began to move forward.

At the moment, the day was still a little dim, with a thick fog surrounding the early autumn morning. The carriage traveled through the fog and followed a winding mountain path.

After rushing along the journey, it was already sunny and the dense fog had dispersed by the time they entered the county city.

After getting off the carriage, the two headed straight for the county government office.

“You wait here for a while; I’ll go take a look first.” Nan Tianzong instructed.

Not long after, he returned and led Liu Sisi into the county government office.

The office faced south with a symmetrical layout. The entire architecture was orderly and well-proportioned, with stone lions placed on either side of the main entrance. Under the flying eaves and ridge beam of the roof, there was a plaque inscribed with “Macheng County Government Office”, and on both sides, there were Blade Runners who guarded the door, looking extraordinarily imposing.

Liu Sisi followed closely behind Nan Tianzong with her head down half-heartedly, playing the role of an Attendant Student dutifully.

“Stop! Who are you?” The dungeon prison guard stopped the two.

Nan Tianzong took out a token, quickly stepped forward, and whispered something in the guard’s ear.

Liu Sisi, who was standing far away, saw Nan Tianzong waving to her. With a sudden burst of joy, she hurriedly approached him.

“Let’s go! You two better catch up.”

The governmental office’s runner glanced at Liu Sisi casually before continuing onwards.

Perhaps they had been instructed, because the governmental office’s runner who led the way did not say a word from beginning to end. He dutifully brought the two to the door of a dungeon prison and then turned and left.

“Ye Lei! Ye Lei!”

The dungeon prison was pitch black, and the firelight from the torch could only illuminate an area with a radius of about five feet. Liu Sisi couldn’t see Di Yelei’s location, so she could only call out to him softly.

“Sisi? I’m here. How did you get here?”

There was a sound of chains and shackles clanking, and soon, the noise came closer to where Liu Sisi was.

“Ye Lei, I came to see you, Ye Lei?”

Liu Sisi stretched out her hand, put it through the gap in the cell door, and grabbed his hand. As always, his broad and thick palm firmly wrapped around her small hand, providing a reassuring feeling.

“It’s really you? Sisi.”

Through the gap in the cell, he suddenly embraced Liu Sisi in his arms.

The two hugged each other tightly, with only the prison bars separating them.

“Little fool! You silly girl! Sisi, my Sisi…”

Di Yelei was both happy and heartbroken, unable to control the anger in his heart, and spoke in a low reprimanding tone.

“What are you doing in the county office? And how did you get in? Didn’t I tell you to wait for me at home? I’ll be back soon. Why didn’t you listen to me? Why are you so foolish? You’re such a fool! You…”

The continuous reprimands caused Di Yelei’s inner anger to boil even more. He tightly held her body, wishing he could squeeze her, along with the prison bars, into his own body.

The difficulties she must have faced traveling such a long distance from the Upper Village to the county city as a weak woman were evident.

“Ye Lei, I miss you…”

Although she had promised not to cry, tears still slid down her cheeks.

Even being scolded by him, seeing him still standing in front of her unharmed, she felt that all the hardships were worth it!

It’s all worth it!

His body suddenly stiffened, and then he hugged her even tighter!

His whole body was trembling slightly, even his voice was trembling badly: “You’re a fool! You’re a big fool! I… I miss you too, Sisi——”

A drop of warm liquid dripped onto her neck, followed by several more drops.

Liu Sisi smiled!

It turns out that it’s not just her who would be upset, heartbroken, and unwilling to let go!

She spoke with a satisfied smile: “I’m a fool! I just want to be your little fool! Ye Lei, I will find the person who framed you and save you, believe me!”

“Fool! All I want is for you to be safe, do you understand?”

He pressed his face against hers, rubbing back and forth, deliberately using his rough stubble to prick her face: “Don’t go looking for them. There are government officials investigating the case; you don’t need to worry. I will be out in at most two more days! Believe me!”

“Hmm! I believe you, Ye Lei!”

Liu Sisi pressed her cheek against his and said seriously, “No matter what you say, I believe you, Ye Lei!”

“Sisi! Wait for me to get out, and I will make you my real woman! I will take good care of you, love you, and give you a happy and wonderful life.”

Di Yelei sighed, still not recovered from the huge surprise.

Although what Di Yelei said was ambiguous, Liu Sisi still understood.

“Pfft!”

She was suddenly amused by him and couldn’t help giving him a glare, twisting his arm hard.

“That’s your punishment for talking nonsense!”

“Ouch! It really hurts!”

Di Yelei pretended to cry in pain, teasing Liu Sisi into laughter.

As expected, she couldn’t help but laugh, her face still streaked with tears.

“Crying and laughing, like a little dog peeing! You should smile more, as that’s when you are the most beautiful.”

Pressing against her forehead, Di Yelei said softly, his words full of sentiment.

“I will, from now on, I’ll smile more, as long as I have you by my side, as long as I have you…”

Not far behind the two of them, Nan Tianzong saw everything, his fists clenched tightly, his face ferocious, and a storm brewing in his eyes.

“Hurry up! Time’s up, and I can’t cover for you much longer.”

The Blade Runner who led them here earlier returned, urging the embracing couple to leave.

Di Yelei reluctantly let go of her, held her hand, and gazed deeply into her eyes as they shimmered with firelight, “Sisi! You’d better go back now! Remember to take good care of yourself. Don’t let anyone take advantage of you, understand?”

He whispered the last sentence into Liu Sisi’s ear.

This made Nan Tianzong glare at him angrily, calling out to Liu Sisi.

“Sisi, let’s go now!”

Liu Sisi, extremely reluctant to leave, suddenly remembered she had brought many snacks with her. She quickly handed the basket to him: “Here! I bought these outside, and I was worried that there wouldn’t be enough water inside, so besides the biscuits, I also brought you two bamboo tubes of clear water…”

“We need to go, Sisi! Don’t make it difficult for Brother Constable. Let’s go.”

The scene before him was too dazzling, and Nan Tianzong interrupted the couple’s intimacy with malicious pleasure.
