Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family-Chapter 1055 - 1054 Topographical Map

Di Yelei had also gained a pair of dark circles under his eyes, swelling until his two eyes were nearly squinting shut.

He glared fiercely at Zuo Xingyu across from him, only to have his intimidating presence considerably lessened by the dark circles!

"Stop it! She’s my wife! Mine!"

Di Yelei was so enraged he nearly shattered a silver tooth, and with the anger of many days erupting, he flipped up from the ground and pounced again towards Zuo Xingyu, who was lying there.

Zuo Xingyu was not a pushover either! How could he let Di Yelei have his way?

Seeing the other man lunging at him, he rolled on the spot, performing a carp fish leap from the ground and in turn, pounced towards Di Yelei.

The two immediately entangled in a scuffle again! frёewebnoѵēl.com

This scene, witnessed by the trusted soldiers, left everyone exchanging glances, entirely unsure whether they should intervene and help or not.

Zhang Peng looked at the two fighters, then spread his hands and walked over to sit under a nearby big tree, tilting his head back to gaze at the sky.

The sky was so blue, the clouds so white, the air so fresh, the willow trees so verdant, and the peach trees bloomed with flowers; everything was just so wonderful.

Except for the occasional screams from behind that shattered the tranquility.

By the time everyone returned to the county government, those who had departed in good condition had been turned into pig heads.

Di Xuan was anxiously waiting there with Chou Chou and Di Ying. They had initially waited inside the residence, but unable to bear the wait until daybreak, they hurried to the county government and just happened to encounter Di Yelei and his group returning from outside.

"Yikes! Is that... Dad? How did he end up looking like this?"

Chou Chou was the first to point at Di Yelei and cry out loudly.

Di Yelei was still seething with anger, and upon hearing this, he glared fiercely at him: "What are you blabbering about? Didn’t I tell you to stay put at the residence? Why are you running around again, looking to create chaos!

The last time it was his wandering around that had caused trouble, and now he was still sauntering about everywhere. God forbid, what if something else happened?

Chou Chou was taken aback, and a hurt expression quickly crossed his eyes as he lowered his head: "I... I just followed Second Brother and Eldest Sister here, I didn’t run around..."

Why did it seem like whenever something was wrong, he was deliberately blamed?

Feeling wronged, tears started to swirl in Chou Chou’s eyes.

Di Xuan quickly came to his defense: "Dad, it’s not Third Brother’s fault. He is also worried about mom, that’s why he came with me."

"Don’t make excuses for him, we all know what kind of temperament he has."

Di Yelei grumbled, unable to help pulling at his hair in frustration: "Take YingEr and him back quickly, don’t linger outside, it’s not safe. Additionally... your wedding might have to be postponed again."

Di Xuan’s wedding plans, initially delayed by various reasons with Thirteenth Luo, were seeing progress, but now they were interrupted again by such events. This really confirmed the old saying: good things come to those who wait!

"Let’s first find mom before talking about other things. As for the wedding, it can wait until mom returns to officiate for Xuan’er," Di Xuan said, his view on the matter clear and sensible.

"That’s fine then—"

Di Yelei managed a bitter smile, agitating the wounds on his face and grimacing uncontrollably: "Go back, go back! Don’t stay here, it’s not safe."

As he spoke, he prepared to send the three of them away.

"Dad, has there been any news from Mom?" YingEr hadn’t said a word until now, but as soon as her Dad started hustling people away, she hurriedly asked.

"No, we haven’t found anyone. However, we did find a landscape painting embroidered by your mother," Di Yelei suddenly remembered this detail.

"Mom’s embroidery? Dad, are you sure you haven’t seen it wrong?"

Di Ying was incredibly surprised.

If Liu Sisi were said to have written something or acquired something else, she’d naturally believe it. But her own mother doing embroidery... that was like it was raining red from the sky!

"Of course I’m not mistaken. Although I can’t understand the embroidery up there, I can clearly recognize your mother’s handwriting. The lines sketched on this embroidery are your mother’s handwriting," he said firmly, having confirmed it twice to ensure those lines were indeed Liu Sisi’s handwriting before bringing them out: "Why don’t you also take a look and see if you can find any hints."

As he spoke, he took out the landscape painting and spread it on the table.

Everyone buzzed around it, all looking at the embroidery on the table.

The embroidery was clearly unfinished, and the stitching was so excruciatingly bad that the sloppy, crooked lines seemed to mock the world, making Di Yelei somewhat embarrassed.

Coughing resolutely twice, he said: "Come and have a look, everyone. If anyone can make something out of this embroidery, speak up. I, the Marquis, will reward them greatly."

Di Yelei’s words stirred up everyone, who jostled to get to the front, pointing at the piece of embroidery and discussing it.

Di Ying couldn’t help but lean forward to take a closer look. The embroidery was clearly made by a beginner, with lines meticulously traced, indicating that the person was a novice, and there were many distinctive markings on it.

"Dad, look here..."

Di Ying pointed at the pattern on the embroidery: "These and these... if we cut this piece of bamboo forest on the embroidery, it would be easier to understand, wouldn’t it?"

Following Di Ying’s gaze, a contour slowly formed in Di Yelei’s mind. Removing the bamboo and some key plants revealed a different sign.

"Turns out what Sisi had drawn was indeed the topographic map of the big manor..."

Removing the areas marked with bamboo, it was indeed an exact match to the big manor he had seen last night.

"So it turns out Sisi is in that mansion, and it seems we must take another trip there. As for what we might have missed inside that residence, we’ll know only after we investigate it again," he concluded.

Sisi being able to draw such a beautiful scene meant she had naturally been to that big manor.

"Old Master Marquis, could it be that there is something significant beneath that mansion?"

Looking at Di Yelei examining the embroidery from every angle as if he had thought of something, his brows furrowed and remained locked tight.

"There are quite a few problems with that mansion, whether it’s on the ground or underneath... Let’s just take a look first. When it’s time to take action, I will do so naturally," he responded.

Everyone crowded closer, nodding their heads as they examined the map.

"Make sure to study this map well, imprint it in your minds. When we attack that place again, we won’t be groping in the dark."

He glanced at everyone: "No one is to spread word of this! Anyone who dares leak a word will be dealt with by military law!"

Everyone got the message and hurriedly came forward, examining it with great detail. Only after everyone had looked did Di Yelei put away the map.

"Everyone go back, have some food, and then go back to your rooms to rest well. We will act again in the evening, and we must thoroughly investigate matters," he declared, refusing to believe that this situation was really so bizarre.
