Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family

Chapter 813: Chapter 813 Rules
 

This is the honest truth, her heartfelt words.

Every blood vessel in his body seemed to boil, and Di Yelei felt as if a heavy rock was pressing on his chest, making it hard for him to breathe.

His iron arm involuntarily tightened and tightened, holding her firmly, hugging her body tightly, wishing he could rub her entire being into his, to become one with her…

“Sisi, Sisi, Sisi… I miss you so, so much…”

He could no longer control himself and pounced on her like a thunderbolt, loving her fiercely.

It seemed that only in this way could he express the surging emotions in his heart, to release all the feelings that had been pent up for years…

Liu Sisi gasped over and over, instinctively clinging to him.

“Ye Lei!”

With his movements, her exclamation became scattered, shattering and dissipating into the air…

Outside the window, a cape jasmine bloomed in all its glory, releasing a rich and fragrant aroma. The moon, too embarrassed, hid behind the clouds, unwilling to show its face.

The clouds dissipated and the rain ceased.

Di Yelei, a face full of satisfaction, tenderly wiped the sweat from Liu Sisi’s temples.

“How are you feeling? Tired?”

Liu Sisi could not open her eyes at all, lying in his arms, she gently nodded without speaking.

The bottom of Di Yelei’s eyes was filled with deep contentment.

He had completely lost control earlier, and he was so worried she could not endure it! Unexpectedly, in the end, it was he who succumbed first… With this thought, he hurriedly scrutinized Liu Sisi’s expression.

Her cheeks were rosy, her eyes and eyebrows carried a hint of a smile, and the corners of her mouth were tilted upward; she was currently sleeping with her eyes closed.

He immediately breathed a sigh of relief and could not resist hugging her for a spree of sweet kisses.

Liu Sisi awoke from her daze, finally freeing herself to pry open her eyes a sliver, “Don’t… I feel uncomfortable on my body, it’s sticky…”

“Don’t rush, you sleep first, I’ll fetch water to help you wash up.”

His large hand never left the snow-like skin on her body.

Liu Sisi shifted a bit and then found a comfortable position to continue sleeping.

In a dazed state, it seemed someone was helping her wash her body. She tried several times but couldn’t open her eyes, instinctively calling out softly, “Ye Lei?” and shifted again.

“Good girl! Go to sleep quickly.”

A familiar deep and rich voice followed by soft laughter echoed.

Liu Sisi tried to move but couldn’t resist the pull of dreamland and sank back into her slumber. In a blur, it seemed someone lay beside her, and before her foggy brain could respond, she instinctively moved closer to the warm body.

“Sisi, Sisi.”

With a gentle call of affection, Di Yelei’s soft chuckle rang in her ear again.

She instinctively answered, opening her eyes a sliver, “Ye Lei…”

“It’s alright, go to sleep, I’m right here by your side, always with you.”

Di Yelei’s soft laughter sounded again, reaching her ear with a breath, a rush of warmth enveloping her. Then came a cascade of kisses.

How could she sleep like that?

Liu Sisi, troubled, moved her body, but he held her firmly in his embrace…

The battle resumed!

Exhausted, she instinctively found a comfortable position in his embrace, murmured some indistinct words with a faint smile, and deeply fell asleep, her arm involuntarily encircling his muscular waist once more.

The night was still long…

It seemed she had just fallen asleep when the figure beside her stirred again.

“Ye Lei?”

It was Di Yelei, dressed in his court attire.

“It’s still early, you should sleep a while longer,” Di Yelei’s voice sounded again.

Completely worn out, Liu Sisi didn’t persist and turned back to the head of the bed to fall deeply asleep once more.

As dawn just began to break, years of habit had Liu Sisi waking up at this time. She stretched out her hand and felt the cool emptiness beside her in the quilt, which reminded her of last night’s events, and she called for Ms. Gao to assist her with her morning routine.

“Princess, two imperial nannies from the palace have been waiting outside since early in the morning,”

They had come so early? Probably in a hurry to teach her some necessary court rules, Liu Sisi thought, her face feeling a bit hot. It was all because she had slept too soundly.

After washing up, Liu Sisi finally met with the two imperial nannies, and as she had figured, they had come for that particular reason.

“…Princess, there are not many days left, and there are some rules you must understand thoroughly as soon as possible…”

For the whole two days, Liu Sisi stayed in the house studying the rules with the two imperial nannies, even sending away a few children who came to see her with an excuse.

The next day, in the afternoon, Mrs. Gan came to visit.

Mrs. Gan was currently in charge of the Gan Estate and was well-known in the circle for her social skills.

In her early forties, she didn’t look old at all, wearing a face full of smiles. As soon as she saw Liu Sisi, she bowed deeply from seven feet away.

“This humble one pays respect to the princess.”

“Sister-in-law from the Gan Family, please rise,” Liu Sisi said as she reached out to help her up with a light smile. “Never mind the life-saving grace from the other day, simply put, I was fortunate enough to have Madam Gan Senior as a grandmother. You and I, by this account, are related by marriage, such formalities seem a bit too much.”

“It is only proper,” Mrs. Gan insisted. “You are a princess, any form of respect shown is due.”

Mrs. Gan spoke those words, but inside she was breaking into a cold sweat! Luckily, it had been Madam Gan Senior who took Sisi as her granddaughter. If it had been someone else… she didn’t even know how they would have gotten out of this situation!

“Let us not dwell on this. Please have a seat, sister-in-law from the Gan Family. I have only recently arrived in the capital and hardly know anyone, so I was just worrying about having no one to talk to…”

Liu Sisi was polite in her words, yet deep inside, she was secretly curious about the real reason for Mrs. Gan’s visit today.

Sure enough, it wasn’t long before Mrs. Gan took the opportunity to speak up when they were alone.

“I come today on the orders of the Prime Minister. Although the Old Master Marquis has won a victory against the barbarians, it seems they haven’t given up hope. Word from the border city is that negotiations have come to a stalemate. Some have taken advantage of this to make things difficult for the Marquis… Moreover, Zhao Jiong of Gongzhou’s incident has also been repeatedly brought up by everyone, and with the incident a few days ago… it may not have much to do with us women in the backyard, but the Prime Minister’s intent is to advise the Marquis to take extra precautions. Especially with the time of ancestral worship approaching, he fears someone may take the opportunity to make a big fuss…”

With some shyness, Mrs. Gan added, “Princess, you must not take offense at my candor, it’s just that nowadays our Gan Family shares the fortunes and misfortunes of the Marquis Mansion…”

While Liu Sisi listened to these words, her mind was rapidly turning.

Now that she had been acknowledged as a princess, coupled with the small jadeite ring bestowed by His Majesty, some people were worried and frightened; and particularly at this moment, with Di Yelei returning victorious over the barbarians, it had made others envious and resentful, wishing they could be rid of him to ease their minds.

And now, with Nan Tianzong’s relation to her, it was natural for them to make a big fuss.

Although she had a connection with Madam Gan Senior, for Mrs. Gan to come so daringly, unless the situation was truly dire, the Prime Minister probably wouldn’t have sent her to warn her.

But with all that was happening, why hadn’t Ye Lei mentioned a word?
