Chapter 797: Chapter 797: Di Yelei’s Thunderous Fury! (4)
Standing beside Madam Gan Senior was the young man who was Little Spring’s master, and also Gan Family’s legitimate grandson, Gan Zhengchu.
Gan Zhengchu laughed carelessly, admitting that he was the one who had brought Madam Gan Senior here, and he couldn’t deny it.
“Look at you, even now you’re still so ignorant! Just think about how obedient your half-sister Zhi Lan is, not like you at all! Sigh!”
Madam Gan Senior couldn’t help but shake her head: “Do you think a smart man like Commander Yang wouldn’t notice the strangeness of this room? If I didn’t co tonight, do you think you could suppress him with your ans? You should learn so more tricks in the future, so you won’t be too late to learn when you get married.”
Gan Miaoruo was moving the bed, revealing the chanism inside. As the sound of gears turning, the tunnel was revealed, and so was Liu Sisi, who had been waiting here for a long ti.
Hearing this, she turned her head and yelled at Madam Gan Senior!
...
“I know! I know you all think I’m not as good as that Gan Zhi Lan! Her sweet mouth and connection to Seventh Prince make her better than in everything! If that’s the case, why don’t you adopt her into my mother’s na and make her happy!”
Just appearing, Liu Sisi was a little awkward, standing there in a dilemma, and quickly bowed to Madam Gan Senior.
“Sisi has seen grandmother!”
Madam Gan Senior hurriedly ca forward to help her up: “No, no, no! Absolutely not. Silly child! Since ancient tis, etiquette cannot be abolished! You are now a princess of a country, calling grandmother would be too improper. Just call Madam Gan Senior.”
Liu Sisi did not insist, and called out again according to her words: “Madam Gan Senior.”
“Good, good child. This is my legitimate grandson Gan Zhengchu, you two should et, he is the one who told that sothing happened here.”
Liu Sisi and Gan Zhengchu exchanged greetings once more.
“The three children are all asleep now, and can’t be woken up no matter how they are called.”
“It’s only natural that they’re tired after being frightened all day yesterday at such a young age, and now they’re sleeping.”
Madam Gan Senior smiled with her eyes narrowed: “You can stay here temporarily, as long as you don’t leave this place for one day, that Commander Yang can’t do anything to you.”
As for this, Liu Sisi didn’t quite agree, but she wouldn’t argue at this mont.
“Thank you, Madam Gan Senior.”
Outside, the flas soared and the fighting continued, while inside the attic, the three talked and laughed. Only Gan Miaoruo was wiping her tears with a sad face, obviously not having recovered from the shock just now.
Liu Sisi listened for a mont and was curious about Madam Gan Senior’s calmness.
“Madam Gan Senior, the fire outside seems to be getting bigger and bigger, I don’t know if it will spread here…”
“It’s alright.”
Madam Gan Senior waved her hand: “I arranged for soone to set this fire. Since Yang Yikun already knew you were here, it would turn into you being in the light and him in the dark. I set this fire to bring everything to light. Yang Yikun, even if he doesn’t respect the monk, won’t dare to act rashly.”
“Why wouldn’t he dare? Chasing us down with a large number of Imperial Guards was not a joke.”
Even now, Liu Sisi was still frightened when she thought of last night’s escape.
“That was then, and this is now.”
Madam Gan Senior didn’t spare any effort to explain: “Although Yang Yikun is a scoundrel, he really cares about Ruo Ruo. If you appear sowhere else, it would be fine. But if you appear here and he doesn’t protect Ruo Ruo, I’m afraid it’ll be hard for him to explain to Empress. Especially since it’s the early morning session now, and he’s busy going back to the palace to argue, there’s no ti to stay here.”
Madam Gan Senior thought for a mont and added: “At the beginning, when Ruo Ruo and Yang Yikun got engaged, Empress was against it.”
There’s a lot of aning in these words!
Yang Yikun likes Ruo Ruo and wants to protect her, so naturally he cannot let Empress know that Ruo Ruo was involved as well.
Liu Sisi looked at Ruo Ruo beside her and suddenly thought that it wouldn’t be so bad for Ruo Ruo to marry Yang Yikun. At least he really loved her.
As everyone was talking, the intense fighting sounds were getting closer and closer.
Di Yelei was extrely anxious; it seed like the imperial guards could never be completely defeated, as wave after wave kept coming without end. Although their group was not the only one fighting the guards, two other groups were also engaging them simultaneously; he still felt extrely anxious. If they couldn’t break out before daybreak, they would be trapped inside.
“Sisi! Sisi!”
Unable to control himself, he suddenly shouted several tis.
“Sisi! Sisi!”
A dream-like voice ca from where Liu Sisi was. How could it be him? How could it be his voice?
Gan Miaoruo and Madam Gan Senior both froze!
“Is it him? Wasn’t he still at the border? How could he…” appear here? Appear at this place!
It was him! He had co!
Liu Sisi felt as if her blood was boiling!
She rushed out of the loft, waving her hand in the direction of Di Yelei’s voice: “Here! I’m here!”
“Be careful!”
Accompanied by a low shout, Liu Sisi was suddenly pulled to the ground.
Raising her head, she saw Gan Zhengchu pressing down on her, his face full of vigilance as he looked around. Who would have thought that soone as gentle and delicate as young master Gan Zhengchu was actually a martial artist!
“Be careful! Soone is shooting a cold arrow! Let’s go in right away.”
He grabbed Liu Sisi and rolled on the ground with her. They rolled directly into the loft, and the door closed with a bang.
“What’s going on?”
The wrathful voice of Madam Gan Senior rang out.
“Soone released a cold arrow, nearly hitting Princess Ruyu. Everyone, keep quiet and find cover.”
As Gan Zhengchu spoke, he raised his hand and extinguished the candles in the room. The room instantly went dark.
“No! Ye Lei is outside, and he has co for ! I have to go down!”
Although Liu Sisi didn’t understand how Di Yelei had managed to appear there, she knew that his presence must have been extraordinary.
“It’s too chaotic outside; how can you go down?” Gan Zhengchu clearly disagreed.
“I have to! He is Ruyu’s husband and my children’s father! If I don’t go down, this battle won’t end. By then, more and more imperial guards will co. At that ti, it’ll be too late to leave, and the entire Gan family will be implicated!”
Liu Sisi spoke earnestly.
Her words were not exaggerated, and everyone present understood the situation.
“Fine! Zhengchu, escort Princess Ruyu!” Madam Gan Senior finally spoke.
“Yes, Grandmother!”
Gan Zhengchu picked up the two children who were still asleep and led Liu Sisi, who was holding Niuniu, to descend from the attic by the side door.
At the mont, the Gan Mansion was engulfed in flas. The raging fire from the three adjacent pavilions of Xihe Pavilion illuminated the courtyard with flickering light and dark shades.
