Chapter 1033: Chapter 1032 The Truth Is Revealed to the World Chapter 1033: Chapter 1032 The Truth Is Revealed to the World Liu Sisi was instantly delighted, “Who are you talking about?”
“The brave and honest captain who follows Marquis Yongwu, his surna is Ding. I heard a few days ago that you were looking for a suitable candidate for Di Wei, so I specially had soone find . I did inquire ticulously, and Captain Ding’s family is known for its innocence. He has served in the military since his youth, and his original wife unfortunately passed away without leaving a child. Precisely because of this, it’s difficult for him to find a match with a miss from an official family. Hearing about Di Wei’s situation, he seed quite pleased.”
“You had soone investigate? Are things really as he says?”
“If a real investigation is needed, I’m afraid Old Master Marquis would handle it more conveniently. But it was him who had soone co to , and I’m just passing on his intentions.”
“Well, just the other day, Ye Lei ntioned another candidate to , but that person has no official title. He’s squandering the ancestral wealth, and I’m not very fond of that.” Liu Sisi had no particular opinion about people who squandered their ancestral fortune, but she feared that once the inherited wealth wasn’t plentiful, they wouldn’t have anything left after a generation or two, which is why she remained silent when Di Yelei brought it up.
“Whether you see them favorably or not, Sisi, you don’t need to worry. It’s fine to present the selected candidates to the Old Master Marquis and let him make the final decision. Or just give it directly to Di Wei. Whether she chooses well or poorly, it saves you trouble and she’ll be satisfied. It’ll be a cause for happiness all around.” Guihua suggested.
This suggestion made Liu Sisi’s eyes light up, “That’s indeed an excellent idea! Alright, let’s do as you say.”
Reminded by Guihua, Liu Sisi was reenergized! She selected all the candidates that she found sowhat satisfactory recently, compiled them into a small booklet, and also discussed it with Guihua. As nightfall approached, a booklet with more than a dozen nas was ready.
Finally taking a deep breath, Liu Sisi gratefully held Guihua’s hand, “Sister Guihua, you always know what to do! If you hadn’t given this idea, I’d probably still be fretting. You have no idea how choosing a candidate can be more tiring than looking at account books all day…”
“Pfft… You! You’re just too serious.”
Guihua couldn’t help but laugh, “Even if you help her pick soone good now, if she doesn’t know how to manage daily life, even the best husband will end up being compared to soone else. If she knows how to live life well, even the worst days can turn out decent. Whether life is good or not, I’m afraid she’ll have to answer that herself.”
“Yes, you’re right. Everything depends on her now.”
That night, Liu Sisi couldn’t wait to hand over the small booklet to Di Yelei.
Di Yelei took it casually, “What’s this?”
“These are so candidates I’ve helped select for Di Wei. In the end, without running around everywhere, I really don’t know what the character of these people inside is like. So, I’m leaving the final decision to you.”
To make the final decision himself?
“Sisi, are you sure? You’re sure you’re letting Di Wei choose for herself?”
Di Yelei flipped through the small booklet, his gaze quickly settling on the captain recomnded by Guihua, “This candidate isn’t bad. Have you seen him in person?”
“I haven’t seen him, but Sister Guihua has. Apparently, he looks quite handso. He has also seen Di Wei in person, which is why he asked Guihua to diate.”
Liu Sisi was actually quite satisfied with this candidate.
However, thinking of how a military officer must imdiately go off to war at any sign of conflict, Liu Sisi didn’t say more.
Di Yelei looked very carefully, not overlooking any of the ten or so candidates.
“Let’s do as you say! Let’s ask Di Wei’s opinion, since it’s her life she’s spending a lifeti with, to avoid her blaming us later.”
It seed he agreed to let Di Wei choose for herself.
“Understood. I’ll call Di Wei over tomorrow.”
The people of this era, after all, weren’t like those in the future; they couldn’t blatantly judge and comnt, but that didn’t stop them from finding ways to do so.
“Why wait until tomorrow? Fetch her now, lest the night brings more dreams.”
Di Yelei imdiately ordered Da Niu to summon the person.
He then glanced at Liu Sisi again, “We have uncovered so leads regarding those who kidnapped Chou Chou a few days ago.”
“Who was it?”
Liu Sisi’s heart suddenly leapt into her throat.
Di Yelei’s gaze was peculiar, “Following the trail, we found that the group spoke with an accent from the Xixia Country. My n tracked them and found these were the sa people who tried to take you on the freighter but instead ended up exchanging Xing Pan’er’s subordinate. anwhile, our investigators also found that the so-called subordinates of Xing Pan’er are actually very familiar to both you and .”
“Who is he, exactly?”
Di Yelei’s look was aningful, “He is none other than ng Caimai, one of the Leaders of Five Sects from the Li Sect who initially lurked by your side to help you with your business.”
“Him? How is that possible! Weren’t they all eradicated by you?” Liu Sisi exclaid in shock.
No wonder she was so astonished!
Initially, Di Yelei and others had been commanded to annihilate the “traitors,” nearly uprooting the Li Sect entirely. The remnants of the Li Sect had been relentlessly pursued over the years. It was unthinkable that a leader among them had escaped.
“Indeed, they were eradicated back then. However, those horsen ultimately belonged to your big brother, so at certain tis… I just turned a blind eye. Later, the imperial court appointed Marquis Yongwu to oversee the matter, and I beca even less involved in it,” explained Di Yelei.
Di Yelei’s implication was simple: he was unsure how exactly ng Caimai had managed to escape, but what he could confirm was that the man indeed had escaped.
“So… it was ng Caimai who plotted to kidnap Chou Chou?”
“It shouldn’t be. The followers who returned from the investigation reported that among this group of people from Xixia Country, the leader appeared to be a married woman in her early fifties.”
“…What exactly are you implying?”
Liu Sisi stared into Di Yelei’s eyes, her gaze especially profound.
“Before the identity of the other party is thoroughly investigated, everything remains a mystery. However, no matter how deeply a secret is hidden, there always cos a day when it is revealed to the world.”
Di Yelei looked at her with a resolute face, causing Liu Sisi’s heart to sink gradually.
Why did she feel like there was more to his words?
Suddenly, she lost the courage to press on with her questions.
Not long after, Di Wei indeed arrived. Di Wei had blossod into an attractive young woman; it was no wonder that the brave and honest captain from Rank 8 was taken with her.
“Di Wei pays respects to Third Uncle and Third Aunt,” she said.
Di Wei made her greetings directly to the Third Uncle and Third Aunt, not to the Old Master Marquis or Princess, indicating she was also quite shrewd.
“Wei’er, co here, rise quickly,” she said.
Seeing Di Yelei sitting aside, refusing to speak, Liu Sisi stood up, took Di Wei aside, and whispered, “…So of these options even co with portraits, take a look and see if there’s one that strikes your fancy.”
