Chapter 558: Chapter 558: The Message Brought by Guihua, and the Purpose of Zuo Xingyu’s Visit

If it wasn’t for knowing that there were bandits up ahead, would I need to be so hurried in managing this?

Although the manager silently complained, he said indifferently: “With the heavens and the earth as our witness, we are government officials. Where would so many bandits dare to rob us?”

“But…”

“Or is it that you are not confident in your own skills and think you cannot deal with just one or two small thugs?”

“That’s not the case, Sir Manager…”

“If you really are not that capable, why did you initially become governmental office’s runners and constables in the first place? You might as well go back home and continue drinking milk!”

“…”

Xiaoliang was defeated.

Everyone could only continue walking forward, but their steps were slower and slower.

However, the manager on the side kept urging them!

“Hurry up, walk faster, you’re all dawdling, do you want to crush the ants to death along the way? Hurry up!”

The urging sound, combined with the sound of horse hooves and the grinding of carriage wheels on broken stones, only emphasized the silence and desolation on both sides of the road.

Moreover, the dark, hazy daylight made people’s scalps feel numb.

“Hurry up! Move faster!”

As the manager cursed and urged, the soldiers became slower and slower, and no one was willing to continue walking forward.

At this moment, a sudden sound of urgent horse hooves came from behind them.

“Report! -”

The messenger caught up with the prison cart carrying Di Yelei before dusk.

Everyone around the prison cart was on high alert!

Only after clearly seeing that the newcomer was a messenger did they finally breathe a sigh of relief.

“Report! By order of the Su County Magistrate and Lord Tan, hurry to escort the criminal Di Yelei back to Macheng County! There must be no mistakes!”

“What? Back to Macheng County!”

Surprised, the manager exclaimed while everyone else breathed a sigh of relief. At least they wouldn’t have to enter the tiger’s lair, and they managed to save a few lives!

…

Liu Sisi visited the clinic again.

To visit Ms. Xin, who had not fully recovered.

“Madam, you’re here. My elder actually has something to discuss with you.” As soon as the medicine pageboy saw her, he hurriedly called out.

Old He is looking for me? Is it because of some issue with Ms. Xin? Thinking of this, Liu Sisi hurriedly took a few quick steps.

“Alright. Where is Old He now?”

“Madam, please follow me.”

the medical pageboy led Liu Sisi directly into the inner room.

Old He was busy inside, mixing medicinal ingredients in his hands, and as soon as he saw Liu Sisi enter, he hurriedly waved to her.

“Sisi, you’re here. Come and sit down.”

“Old He, did you call me here because my sister-in-law’s condition has worsened?”

Without waiting for an invitation to sit, Liu Sisi hurriedly asked about Ms. Xin’s condition.

“You relax. I used a ginseng root 300 years old to snatch her life back from the King of Hell. There are no problems with her for now. However…”

Old He turned around while talking, walked over to and sat down across from her: “In order to save her life at the time, I sealed her major acupoints to stop the bleeding. But due to this, she will never be able to get pregnant again.”

“Yes, I found out yesterday.”

Liu Sisi’s voice was very low. After thinking for a moment, she asked another question: “Old He, what about Elder Leisure’s condition? Can his madness be cured?”

“His illness isn’t very serious. As long as he is not agitated, he can be the same as a normal person. It can’t be rushed.”

Old He hesitated a bit, wanting to tell the truth, but then thought better of it and held his tongue.

“Well! I’ll trouble you a lot then, Old He.”

“Never mind. I have been taking care of his illness for many years, and I have some experience. Preventing the condition from getting worse is easy.”

Old He waved his hand and handed over a few prescriptions: “Your health has not been good lately. These three prescriptions were specially prepared for you by my father. Take them home and cook them.”

“Thank you, Old He, for being by Sisi’s side. It really saves her a lot of trouble.”

Liu Sisi took the medicinal materials and thanked him again and again before leaving the clinic.

After brewing and taking the medicine, Liu Sisi took a short rest.

In the afternoon, Guihua came to the small town.

“…So Ms. Wang asked Mr. Land Officer to testify and formally separated the household registration from the Di Family. From then on, there is no connection with the Di Family!”

Guihua whispered, her eyes glancing frequently at Elderly Mr. Di outside the house.

“Can Ms. Wang really do such a thing?”

Liu Sisi chuckled, amazed that Ms. Wang would voluntarily leave the Di Family. She must be afraid of dying!

But considering the cruel “guilt by association” system, she immediately understood!

“Why didn’t the Land Officer send someone to notify us?”

“Who said no one was sent? Someone was sent long ago, but your father drove them away, saying that anyone could leave, and he would agree to all.” Guihua felt quite emotional.

Liu Sisi thought for a moment, then walked up and held Guihua’s hand: “Sister Guihua, there’s something I want to discuss with you. You’ve seen Ye Lei’s condition now. What can we do if we really reach that point? So, I was thinking about YingEr and Yun Er’s engagement…”

“Ah—don’t say anything more! My family’s Zhang Peng said that even if we die, our two families will die together! This includes Yun Er. His feelings for YingEr are real, don’t be so old-fashioned and don’t try to persuade me anymore.”

“But Sister Guihua, you don’t know, this…”

“Isn’t your big brother Zhang a constable? Doesn’t he know the consequences? Don’t worry! At worst, our two families will be exiled to work together. After all, isn’t it just doing something? Don’t you think so?”

Guihua was determined.

It’s easy to add flowers to the brocade, but it’s hard to send charcoal in the snow!

Guihua’s attitude made Liu Sisi’s eyes fill with tears, which nearly rolled down her face.

“Sister Guihua…”

Even after seeing Guihua off, Liu Sisi still took a while to recover from the shock.

It was only when Old Cheng came in to report that she was startled from her contemplation.

“Madam, Constable Zuo is here to talk about something important.”

“Really? Where is he?”

“Just outside the door…”

Seeing Zuo Xingyu again, Liu Sisi found he seemed to have lost more weight, and the main thing was that his furrowed brows seemed even deeper.

She used to hate Zuo Xingyu, but with the return of her memories and hearing Liu Zhi’er’s testimony that day, her feelings towards Zuo Xingyu were mixed.

She couldn’t describe the taste in her heart.

“Constable Zuo, long time no see.”

Liu Sisi broke the silence first.

Zuo Xingyu’s wise eyes scanned Liu Sisi. Her expression was normal, but her face was an unhealthy gray-white.

She sat across from him, wondering what he was thinking.

“It’s been some days since I last saw you. How are you, Madam?”

Liu Sisi raised her eyebrows in surprise!

What is this, a casual conversation between former lovers? This is too melodramatic!

“Recently, it’s been okay. Sisi wants to thank Constable Zuo for your help with my family’s Ye Lei.”

Liu Sisi spoke, then stood up and gave a slight bow to Zuo Xingyu.
