At dusk, a group led by County Magistrate Zhu took their leave one after another.
Meanwhile, the clan leader and elders, quite thick-skinned, stayed behind.
That night, countless tents were set up on the slope outside the Di family's courtyard. In addition to Di Yelei and other trusted followers from the capital city, the clan leader and elders were also accommodated among them.
Not long after dinner, Di Xuan finally returned. He hadn't even finished washing up when he was summoned to Liu Sisi's room by Ms. Gao.
"Mom, did you ask Xuan'er to come over because there is something you need?"
As soon as he entered the room, Di Xuan asked softly.
Liu Sisi was vexed by Di Wei's marriage issues, but when she heard Di Xuan's question, she relaxed her furrowed eyebrows.
"It's really nothing too serious. It's just that we haven't had a good chat for some days. I specifically called for you today because I wanted to hear your opinion."
