Chapter 608: Returning to Maternal Uncle’s Home for Confinement Period


    Thinking carefully, what exactly was it that separated him and her?


    Was it a moment of his indecision? It’s just that the impression is so faint in his memory.


    A lonely boat advances in the vast ocean, the boatman paddles while carrying passengers, weathering the storms, yet it cannot withstand the trivial matters of daily life. Sailing through storms together, but as soon as the rain stops and the boat finds its harbor, everyone departs for their separate ways.


    Only in their dreams can they fantasize about the sweet times of reconciliation, embracing each other tightly with tears, what a beautiful scene that would be!


    However, upon awakening from the dream, they sigh at the reality of the dream world, gazing at the moonlit window. The cold moonlight lingers like ice, keeping them awake for a long time.


    “Sisi, I really didn’t expect that our parting wouldst a lifetime…”


    A long sighes from the shadows of the trees, gently blown away and disappearing with the breeze.


    Only the lone silhouette, standing on its own, remains.


    …


    Liu Sisi and others hurry towards the direction of the Liu Family Mansion, unable to resist the urge to quicken their pace while holding their children.<div>


    They hadn’t even reached the entrance of the Liu Family Mansion, when they saw arge crowd blocking the main entrance. Liu Sisi and others couldn’t help but slow down.


    “Madam, it’s the chief of the Liu Family n and the Liu Family n members who came to wee you!”


    A quick and efficient servant came back to report.


    Liu Sisi raised her eyebrow, wondering when she became involved with the chief of the Liu Family n and why they woulde to greet her?


    Liu Zhi’er, who was standing next to her, sneered and whispered to Liu Sisi’s ear, “Sisi, these people are the kind who won’t take action unless they see the rabbit. I think it’s mostly because they see your identity is different from the past, so… ”


    Liu Sisi looked at the smiling crowd approaching her and also gave a smile on the corner of her lips, taking the initiative to greet them.


    Ms. Yao had made preparations the day before, even calling Liu Xuer back home.


    However, Sisi did not return to the Liu Family Mansion, which kept everyone waiting for a day, making them displeased.


    The three sisters, Liu Xuer, Liu Sisi, and Liu Zhu actually looked quite alike, especially their eyes, which could see the bottom of a clear pool with one nce. It’s just that Liu Xuer was visibly older, with faint traces of worries on the corners of her eyes.


    Liu Quan remained silent, while Liu Baihan and his wife Ms. Jia were very displeased, cursing under their breath, as if they could not wait to devour Liu Sisi alive.


    Liu Xuer had many chores at home, so she wanted to go back early in the morning. However, Ms. Yao desperately tried to keep her from leaving.


    “Mom, I really have important things to do at home. My father-inw is bedridden, my mother-inw is managing the house, and my children are young and naughty. The fact that I coulde out for this trip is already a rare event. If I stay any longer, I’m afraid…” Liu Xuer anxiously exined.


    “I know you’re afraid of your inws gossiping after you return. I understand.”


    Ms. Yao said softly, “Xuer, don’t be afraid. Later, I will give you a few eggs to bring back when you go home…”


    “Ahem!”


    Suddenly, two loud coughs from the side interrupted Ms. Yao’s words.


    Ms. Jia looked at Liu Xuer with spite in her eyes. “Mom, every time my elder sister-inw returns to her mom’s home, shees back empty-handed. Not to mention my Little Treasure has grown so much and hasn’t even had a single egg from his elder aunt’s house. Raising daughters is like raising thieves, huh? My Little Treasure doesn’t get to eat eggs, so why should we give any to my elder sister-inw to take back home?”


    This remark made Liu Xuer so frustrated that she couldn’t even lift her head and couldn’t find a single word to argue back with.


    Ms. Yao nced at Liu Xuer whose face had changed color and hastily held her hand, unusually contradicting Ms. Jia. “You… Xuer is rarely back home, can’t you be nice and say some kind words…”<div>


    At that moment, Liu Baihan’s face turned even darker! He directly stood up and looked down at Liu Xuer with disdain.


    “Enough! Supporting you useless bunch, all like debt collectors! You really think you can just take whatever you want from this home? No wonder people say raising daughters is like raising thieves! It’s absolutely true!”


    This statement made Liu Xuer’s face turn pale. “Big brother, how can you speak like that? Back then, if it wasn’t for you… If it wasn’t for you, would I have married into that wolf’s den?”


    As soon as the topic came up, everyone in the room changed their expressions!<div>


    Over the years, since her marriage, Liu Xuer had onlye back home twice. The reason she didn’t return was not only because of her busy schedule but also because her big brother’s attitude.N?v(el)B\\jnn


    “So what? Isn’t it right for the Liu Family to take back some gift money after raising you for so many years?”


    Liu Baihan spoke loudly and righteously, not feeling a shred of guilt.


    “Hmph! You don’t visit your mom’s home all year. Once you got married, you thought you were dead to this family. That damn Liu Sisi is even worse! She not only got my legs broken but also drove me out of Macheng County. Sooner orter, I’ll have to settle the score with her! Hmph!”


    Liu Baihan’s face was full of ferocity, wishing he could just eat her alive.


    “How do you intend to settle with me? Let’s hear it!”


    As he was speaking, he suddenly heard a female voiceing from behind him and turned around hastily.


    Liu Sisi was slowly approaching from the other side, followed by arge group of maids and old women. She was also carrying three infants as she rounded the corner of the wall, heading in the direction of the Liu Family’s house.


    Liu Baihan’s speech earlier had naturally reached Liu Sisi’s ears, every single word of it.


    Her sudden appearance took everyone by surprise! They were all speechless and couldn’t react.


    Liu Xuer stared intently at Liu Sisi in front of her, unable to help squinting her eyes.


    At first sight, she almost dared not go up to recognize her. Was this her little sister Liu Sisi?


    Her memory was still of Liu Sisi’s timid yet stubborn face before she got married!<div>


    But now, although she was wearing simple clothes, one nce revealed clothing that only the wealthy could afford. Not to mention at this moment, surrounded by maids and old women who were thrilled to see her!


    Her gaze moved forward,nding on Liu Baihan, carrying a proud expression, ncing at him, then snorting heavily.


    “Liu Baihan, didn’t you say you were going to settle the score with me? I’m standing right in front of you now. How do you want to do this, let’s hear it!”


    As soon as Liu Baihan saw Liu Sisi, his facepletely changed. At this moment, Liu Sisi called him out by name, and naturally, he found it difficult to save face. With so many people present, he couldn’t afford to lose face.


    “You, how do you want to settle? Liu Sisi, don’t think that just because you’ve be an official’s wife, you can ignore and look down on your family! I’m telling you, even if you be a Madam First-Rank, I’m still your brother, and you’re still my sister!”


    Liu Baihan’s face was full of arrogance!
