Liu Sisi hesitated for a long time before asking.

“Yes! It was her dying wish. Both Zhao Dun and His Majesty honored her wish.”

Nan Tianzong looked at Liu Sisi, implying something.

“And my brothers…”

“Not only our mother, but also the bones of Second Brother and Third Brother lie in that clearing.”

“I…”

Liu Sisi didn’t know how to start: “I’ve always had a dream where I was a child, held by a married woman in her arms, and as the dagger fell, the blood splattered all over my face…”

Nan Tianzong was clearly taken aback, not expecting Liu Sisi to say such a thing.

“How could it be? You were so young at the time!”

Who says children have no memory?

“Brother Nan, Sisi has a question and hopes you will answer it truthfully.”

Liu Sisi suddenly raised her head and looked at Nan Tianzong.

“You ask.”

Liu Sisi took a deep breath and then smiled.

“Do you remember clearly, how many months pregnant was mother when she initially left? How long did she leave for? And how old was I when she came back?”

Nan Tianzong frowned and looked at Liu Sisi, then finally shook his head.

“I wasn’t that old at the time, so I don’t remember how long she was gone, and no one dared to talk about it. I only remember that when she came back, my maid secretly ran over to tell me mother had returned. I rushed to her favorite plum grove to find her. By that time, he was already insane, and would hit me for no reason. I still remember being afraid of being discovered by him, so I secretly hid in the bushes.”

Liu Sisi’s hand holding the teacup trembled, and the water inside poured directly onto the table, quickly spreading along the surface.

She hurriedly fumbled to wipe it up, and Nan Tianzong also came to help.

After the water stains on the table were finally wiped dry, Liu Sisi slowly sat back down in her chair.

After a long while, she continued to ask, “What did you see back then?”

Nan Tianzong looked at her, “I was only five or six years old at that time, and I didn’t dare to approach from the main road, so I quietly climbed up through the crevices between the stones. I didn’t know where they were at the time, but suddenly I heard his angry roar, and I quickly moved closer in the direction of the sound.”

As he spoke, Nan Tianzong’s facial muscles trembled a few times: “You know the rest.”

Silence spread between the two of them.

“Do you, do you think it’s possible that I’m not, not…?” Liu Sisi carefully chose her words.

Nan Tianzong shook his head and laughed, “What does it matter? No matter who’s daughter you are, you’ll always be my little sister, Nan Tianzong’s sister!”

Yes! Even if she wasn’t the daughter of that madman, she would still be Nan Tianzong’s sister!

Liu Sisi suddenly laughed!

Outside the door, Di Yelei paced anxiously in the courtyard.

Now that he knew about Liu Sisi and Nan Tianzong’s sibling relationship, he hated that he couldn’t just barge into the room and separate the two.

However, reason told him that doing so at the moment would be of no help.

Just as he was extremely conflicted, the room door finally opened!

Liu Sisi and Nan Tianzong walked out of the room, one after another.

“Sisi…”

Di Yelei hurriedly went up, and found that Liu Sisi’s eyes were red, but there was nothing else abnormal about her.

Liu Sisi glanced at Di Yelei, then raised her head to look at Nan Tianzong, “Are you really leaving? If you enter the capital at this moment, I’m afraid…”

“There are some things that I have no choice in. Sisi, I am not you…”

Nan Tianzong’s words hinted at her situation.

Liu Sisi lowered her head, having to admit that Nan Tianzong was right!

She was a woman and posed no threat to His Majesty.

However, Nan Tianzong was different!

His Majesty had always been aware of his existence, and he was the only heir to Zhao Dun’s kingdom. Only by getting rid of Nan Tianzong could the root of Zhao Dun’s lineage be eliminated, and only then could he rest easy!

“When do you plan to leave?”

“Tonight.”

“So soon?”

Liu Sisi obviously did not expect it to be so quick.

Nan Tianzong forced a bitter smile, “We can’t drag it any longer.”

If they continued to delay, not only would numerous brothers be buried with him, but more innocent people would also be implicated!

Liu Sisi nodded, bidding farewell to Nan Tianzong, “Brother Nan, take care!”

Only then did Nan Tianzong turn around, looked at Di Yelei seriously for the first time, and bowed earnestly.

“From now on, Sisi is in your hands! You must treat her well!”

“Don’t worry, even if it costs my life, I’ll take good care of her,” Di Yelei said seriously.

Nan Tianzong patted Di Yelei’s shoulder heavily, then turned around, leaving the courtyard without looking back, striding away.

“Sisi, don’t be sad. A good man’s ambition is everywhere. You should congratulate your Brother Nan for leaving.”

“Yes, I know. But these tears just won’t stop on their own…”

Later, Liu Sisi found out that after Di Yelei returned from the county, he learned that Sisi had gone to the county government. He headed back to the county, only to encounter Nan Tianzong, who was rushing to Heilong Mountain, and learned about Liu Sisi’s whereabouts from him.

The two went up the mountain together and happened to save Liu Sisi in time…

After that day, Nan Tianzong left Macheng County quietly without alerting others.

The next day, the two went back to Upper Village.

Ms. Zhao had to be given credit for being ruthless! Liu Sisi initially intended to humiliate Ms. Zhao by making her kowtow all the way to the Dou Family’s tomb.

Unexpectedly, Ms. Zhao not only did it but also refused to get up from her knees at the tomb, until Elderly Mr. Di discovered her fainted in front of the tomb.

Afterward, Ms. Zhao had a high fever, and Elderly Mr. Di took care of her for several days without rest…

Life continued, and Elderly Mr. Di also returned to the small town with Ms. Zhao after Liu Sisi and the others moved from the old house.

Liu Sisi turned a blind eye to this, as long as Elderly Mr. Di and Di Yelei forgave her. For her, it was just having one more idle person to support, and there was nothing more to it.

On the contrary, Liu Zhi’er’s dumpling and wonton shop opened quietly on the third day after she woke up.

On the opening day, Liu Sisi personally made several steamed dumplings and sent them to the nearby neighbors, which was considered a good start.

As expected, the shop’s business was booming because of various choices, affordable prices, and quality, which quickly became a favorite among the people in the small town.

Within a short half-month, Liu Zhi’er earned almost 50 taels of silver, which delighted her!
