Everyone gasped in shock!
Compared to the amazement of the crowd, Di Yelei was as unmoved as a mountain, while Liu Sisi's smile remained light, showing no sense of anything out of the ordinary.
The ceremony of worshipping the ancestors continued, with Liu Sisi sitting proudly in the front row, offering her respects to those cold and aloof plaques.
Once the ancestral worship was over, Di Yelei turned, gently helped Liu Sisi to her feet, and looked at her with a smiling face, "Let's go, we're heading down the hill."
"Alright, let's go."
Liu Sisi chuckled softly as she placed her delicate hand in his.
The two of them, linked arm in arm, walked out of the Ancestral Hall. A trusted soldier quickly came up to report, "Reporting to the Old Master Marquis, the road has been widened by a foot according to your instructions, enough for carriages to pass."
"Hmm, you've done well! Let's go, head down the hill together."
Di Yelei nodded slightly.
