Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family-Chapter 919 - : Ghost’s Eye
Chapter 919: Chapter 919: Ghost’s Eye
Speaking of the matter between this husband and wife, Guihua naturally found it hard to comment.
“Sisi, I know you hold the status of a princess, which naturally sets you apart from us, but if Brother Ye Lei is willing to admit his mistakes, you should have a good talk with him. Don’t let this hurt the affection between husband and wife,” she said.
As far as she was concerned, it was only natural for men to attend to some social engagements. As long as he treated her well and she secured her position as the legitimate wife, she was quite open-minded about the rest.
However, it wasn’t her fault for thinking this way, as all the women here shared this perspective.
But Liu Sisi had already made up her mind. How could Guihua persuade her with just a few words?
She stood up abruptly, issuing an eviction order. “Sister Guihua, I can go along with him on any other matter, but not this one. Anyone who speaks up for him is an enemy of Liu Sisi! At present, it’s getting late, and you should go back to your rooms to rest. I won’t keep you,” she said.
Having said this, she didn’t wait for Guihua and Di Ying to respond and turned to storm off towards the small courtyard.
She had secretly decided in her heart that the first thing she would do when he returned was to have a thorough talk with him and make him confess everything!
“Sisi, Sisi…”
Guihua called out several times but couldn’t stop Liu Sisi’s departure, which left her feeling quite helpless. Turning to Di Ying, she said, “I didn’t expect Sisi to be so angry. If this issue can’t be clarified, I fear it won’t end well. It seems Brother Ye Lei will not get off easily this time!”
Di Ying did not speak, only silently bowing her head.

The next day, early in the morning, Liu Sisi got up.

She had a lot on her mind last night and had tossed and turned all night without sleep.
Last night, at midnight, she received a message from the Hidden Guard that the few children were safe and headed towards Qingfeng Temple. By now, they should have safely arrived at Qingfeng Temple.
With dawn barely breaking, she took a carriage out of the city and headed straight to Qingfeng Temple.
Joining her in the carriage were Guihua and YingEr.
After parting on bad terms last night, Guihua felt awkward seeing Liu Sisi early this morning, but Liu Sisi greeted her as if nothing had happened. Even now, sitting in the carriage, Guihua was unsure of her current intentions.
After some thought, she decided to ask, “Sisi, where are we going?”
Liu Sisi silently watched out the window and, upon hearing the question, turned back to look at Guihua. “We’re going to Qingfeng Temple. Chou Chou and Niuniu should be there at the moment,” she replied.
Since only the maids informed everyone last night that the children had been found, Guihua was not aware of their whereabouts. Hearing this news, her face lit up.
“Niuniu is at Qingfeng Temple? That’s great! Not only can we go directly to find them, but we can also take the opportunity to visit Xiao Xiao. Indeed, killing two birds with one stone. But this suggests that Niuniu and Chou Chou ran away to find Xiao Xiao, right? It’s quite rare for siblings to show such deep affection,” she said.
Liu Sisi nodded with a smile, “That’s what I think too. But those children are quite bold, having learned to lie, disregarding their safety by sneaking away, and causing numerous people to search for them. Once we find them, they must be punished properly to teach them a lesson,” she said.
“Mom is right; Niuniu and Chou Chou deserve to be punished!”
Before Guihua could say more, Di Ying interjected, “They made mom angry, and just for that, they should be severely punished!”
As she spoke, she giggled and winked at Liu Sisi.
Liu Sisi let out a snicker, finally relaxing the tension that had been taut all day; she couldn’t help but lift her hand and firmly tap YingEr’s forehead.
“You’re the one with the clever schemes, child!”
Di Ying, seizing the opportunity, dodged her head then hugged Liu Sisi’s arm, triumphantly speaking.
“Mom, when have I ever been scheming? YingEr just wanted to cheer you up, that was the only reason for saying those things! Hehe, later, when we find the younger brother and sister, YingEr will definitely guide them well and fulfill the responsibilities of an elder sister.”
“YingEr is right; as the eldest sister, you should indeed put in extra effort.”
Beside them, Guihua said this and also began to laugh.
With chattering and laughter among them, they quickly arrived at the foot of Qingfeng Temple.
Compared to before, Qingfeng Temple now had undergone quite a few changes, not only having expanded its grounds but also seen an increase in its devotees. Parting the carriage curtain and glancing up, from the foot to the top of the mountain, the ninety-nine steps were densely packed with people coming to worship. At the mountain top, the smoke curled into the air amongst the green shade of trees, resembling a paradise.
Rushed by their eagerness to find the children, they paid little attention to anything else and hurriedly entered through the mountain Gate to look for someone.
“Qingfeng Temple is merely a resting place for Taoist Master Zhu. I believe that Chou Chou must be with Taoist Master Zhu on the immortal mountain. This is the very reason I have been preventing Chou Chou and Niuniu from visiting Chou Chou.”
While the young Daoist boy went to report their arrival, Liu Sisi quietly explained this to Guihua.
“So there was this matter as well? Doesn’t that mean we’ve made a fruitless trip?”
Guihua was also quite disappointed.
Liu Sisi smiled and shook her head, “It’s not exactly a fruitless trip. If we didn’t come in person, I’d really worry that Chou Chou wouldn’t listen and wouldn’t want to go back.”
As they were speaking, the young Daoist boy returned: “Three donors, the temple master has been waiting inside for quite a while, please follow me.”
Following the young Daoist boy into the main hall inside, they didn’t stop; they passed through the back door of the main hall, walking along the winding path until they reached a thatched cottage, where the young Daoist boy finally stopped.
“Three donors, the temple master is inside the cottage. Please enter.”
Guided by the young Daoist boy, Liu Sisi and the two others walked into the cottage and then noticed Taoist Master Zhu seated within. Today, he seemed to exude even more of an air of celestial elegance than when they first met years ago; his eyes were nearly closed and his hands formed a seal above. In front of him on the stone table was a teapot accompanied by four cups.
Hearing their footsteps, he slowly opened his eyes and proclaimed with a salutation, “Immeasurable Heaven Venerable! Princess, please take a seat, and the two donors as well.”
“Grandmaster!”
Liu Sisi quickly returned the greeting before they all took their seats.
“Grandmaster, I came here today because of my unruly child. Worried for his siblings, he came to Qingfeng Temple against advice and somehow took the wrong path along the way… Thankfully, the Grandmaster took him in. I am extraordinarily grateful and will assuredly make a generous donation for the incense oil money. I hope the Grandmaster will allow this.”
“This request isn’t difficult to fulfill; I have already instructed someone to bring the three young donors here.”
Taoist Master Zhu chanted his decree, his mind racing with countless thoughts. Had the divination from last night gone awry again? Could it be that these people in front of him had indeed stepped out of the constraints of the five elements, hence no matter how much he calculated, he couldn’t deduce the outcome, only to be counterattacked by the force of the Natural Law and injured?
With this in mind, Taoist Master Zhu became even more cautious with his thoughts: “The three young donors arrived late last night. However, as soon as they arrived, I instructed the gatekeepers to carefully arrange accommodations for the three ladies and young masters. Rest assured, donors.”
