Chapter 1004 -1004: Slapping the Face, Paying Tribute to Elderly Mr. Di

Everyone gasped in shock!

Compared to the amazement of the crowd, Di Yelei was as unmoved as a mountain, while Liu Sisi’s smile remained light, showing no sense of anything out of the ordinary.

The ceremony of worshipping the ancestors continued, with Liu Sisi sitting proudly in the front row, offering her respects to those cold and aloof plaques.

Once the ancestral worship was over, Di Yelei turned, gently helped Liu Sisi to her feet, and looked at her with a smiling face, “Let’s go, we’re heading down the hill.”

“Alright, let’s go.”

Liu Sisi chuckled softly as she placed her delicate hand in his.

The two of them, linked arm in arm, walked out of the Ancestral Hall. A trusted soldier quickly came up to report, “Reporting to the Old Master Marquis, the road has been widened by a foot according to your instructions, enough for carriages to pass.”

“Hmm, you’ve done well! Let’s go, head down the hill together.”

Di Yelei nodded slightly.

The group of old fellows behind them had jelly legs, scrambling out of the Ancestral Hall. Looking down, they saw the earthen ridge road had been forcefully widened by a foot in a short time. Although it couldn’t be said to be very durable, at least there wouldn’t be any major problems for carriages to pass in the short term.

Located on the hillside, although the area was mostly muddy with few exposed rocks, the fact they managed to pave an additional foot of road within just two hours was indeed frightening! No wonder those old fellows’ legs were giving out, nearly unable to walk.

It seemed their purpose for coming here was in jeopardy!

Liu Sisi, of course, didn’t know what everyone else was thinking, but scaring them seemed to make her quite happy.

Cough, cough!

It seemed a bit inappropriate to say that…

Just as Liu Sisi was silently rejoicing, an elder of the clan sidled over, making small talk, “Elderly Mr. Di, I remember that initially the Princess bore the Di Family triplets. Why are they not seen with you today?”

Di Cheng had gone to handle the gold mine affairs and incidentally took Feng’er with him; Niuniu and Xiao Xiao hadn’t returned home; and Di Xuan had gone to the old house and was not yet seen. So, among the people who came today, the younger generation consisted only of Di Ying and Chou Chou.

She turned back to glance at Di Gaoyuan hidden in the crowd and her response to the elder also had a sting to it, “I the Empress am unaware that the elder of the clan’s information could be so out of date, not even aware of this matter.”

Of course, this was knowingly asking despite the elder’s awareness! She didn’t believe for a second that these old men hadn’t thoroughly investigated such matters.

“Ah, yes, indeed…”

The elder laughed awkwardly and retreated in embarrassment.

Then, several clan elders came to test Liu Sisi’s reactions one after another, which annoyed her greatly, and her face showed her displeasure.

Halfway through the journey down, Di Yelei suddenly brought the procession to a halt.

“Clan leader, Sisi and I have some private matters to attend to. It’ll be a trouble but please lead everyone back first. We will catch up later.”

The clan leader wanted to ask where they intended to go but didn’t know how to broach the subject.

“This…”

“Clan leader, please feel free to head back. The home has already prepared good wine and food, and County Magistrate Zhu is also waiting there. We will be back soon.”

Di Yelei didn’t wait for the other party to respond, cutting off the conversation, and turned to take Chou Chou along with Di Ying, quickly walking away with Liu Sisi.

Liu Sisi watched everyone with a knowing smile, the mocking glint in her eyes unrestrained, worsening the disgruntlement on everyone’s faces.

“It’s really unexpected, you seemed so polite to them before, yet you could deliberately leave them behind to embarrass them. Quite remarkable indeed!”

“This isn’t me intentionally teasing them.”

Di Yelei appeared somewhat helpless, “It’s just that the place we are going to is really not suitable for so many of them to come along.”

“Oh?”

Liu Sisi was somewhat surprised, but after a moment, she suddenly realized!

“You are planning to go to father’s grave…”

“Exactly! So it’s better if we go by ourselves.”

Di Yelei nodded.

It wasn’t yet Qingming Festival, the time to visit the graves, but Di Yelei couldn’t wait any longer. That’s why they set out today.

“It should indeed be a good time to pay a proper tribute.”

Liu Sisi’s voice was very somber.

They say the good die young, and disasters last for a thousand years.

Elderly Mr. Di was such a good man, yet he passed away so early, which truly made people feel regretful.

After removing the last few weeds from the gravesite, Liu Sisi lifted her hands. Her hands, which hadn’t touched spring water in years, had several gashes from the thorns, stinging painfully. The pain made her grimace.

Di Yelei also carefully removed the weeds, lit incense and candles, scattered paper money, and motioned for the children to kowtow towards Elderly Mr. Di’s gravesite for a while, before he finally took a breath.

“Dad, today Ye Lei is here on an imperial command to pay respects to you. Kneeling beside Ye Lei is your daughter-in-law Sisi, she used to be very filial to you, I’m sure you remember her. Beside her are your granddaughter, Di Ying, and grandson, Chou Chou. There are also several other children who couldn’t make it back today. If they come back later, Ye Lei will definitely bring them here to kowtow to you…”

“Father, you don’t have to worry about us, we are all in good health now. It’s just a few children… especially the two children, Xiao Xiao and Niuniu, you’ll have to bless them!”

Liu Sisi, who was always atheistic, couldn’t help but kowtow several times toward Elderly Mr. Di’s gravesite.

Thinking of the children, her emotions became tangled again.

“Dad! This time we’re back, we’ll stay at home for a few more days. When Qingming Festival arrives, we’ll definitely bring some delicious food to share with you, you don’t have to worry about home…”

Di Yelei talked on and on for quite a while, then finally stood up, packed everything up, took Liu Sisi by the hand, and left with the two children.

On the road, Di Yelei brought up another matter.

“Previously, someone said that Mom was also staying at the old house with Di Gaoyuan. Over these years, her life has been good, considering she is both my adoptive mother and my cousin. At present, I’m afraid…” Di Yelei trailed off, seeming unsure how to express his feelings.

“No bother, one more person is just an extra bowl of rice. We can afford it,” Liu Sisi said with a hint of levity.

To this day, Ms. Zhao couldn’t stir up much trouble. If she wanted to live with them, it was just a matter of an additional set of bowl and chopsticks, which Sisi didn’t care about much. What she did care about was Di Gaoyuan.

Initially, she had encountered Ms. Wang, who seemed to have remarried someone else, but whether Di Gaoyuan knew about Ms. Wang’s current situation was another matter.

It seemed she would have to find time to thoroughly dig into Ms. Wang’s past.

“Hmm, my Sisi is always so understanding.”

Di Yelei was extremely happy, firmly clasping her fingers in his own hand: “Don’t worry, the matter with Di Gaoyuan will naturally be handled by big brother, it’s not my turn to decide.” With that, he winked at Liu Sisi.
