Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family-Chapter 917 - Encounter Danger
Chapter 917: Chapter 917 Encounter Danger
Chided so harshly, Di Yelei also felt quite unable to save face, “Sisi, you know full well that’s not what I meant…”
“If that’s not what you meant, then what did you mean? That woman is just an ordinary woman, so she doesn’t satisfy you enough? You want even more?”
The more she thought about it, the angrier and more upset Liu Sisi got. The rage she had forcefully suppressed all day was now fully ignited.
Di Yelei was also helpless, “You… that’s not what I meant at all. Sisi, listen to me! That woman is really just an ordinary person, she and I have absolutely no relationship.”
“No relationship with you yet she calls me Elder Sister? No relationship and yet acts like that? Di Yelei! Do you think I’m blind?”
Liu Sisi did not want to argue; she understood that no amount of arguing could solve the problem after such an incident. But the fury in her heart just couldn’t be suppressed.
Di Yelei too felt an overwhelming headache, “She really has nothing to do with me, she is just…”
In the midst of speaking, Sister Guihua and Feng’er, having heard of Di Yelei’s return to the mansion, rushed over.
“Old Master Marquis is back? Is there any news about Chou Chou and Niuniu?” The two instinctively thought there was news about the children and eagerly asked.
The moment they appeared, the rest of Di Yelei’s words got stuck, and he couldn’t say anything more.
“What news?”
Di Yelei looked at Liu Sisi with a confused face; Liu Sisi intuitively turned her head away, refusing to look at him.
“It’s Chou Chou and Niuniu who are missing; the situation is like this…”
Seeing the pair’s expressions, Sister Guihua realized that Di Yelei had not yet received the news. Thinking of Sisi’s unusual behavior, she hurriedly informed him about the children.
“They’ve been missing for such a long time, why wasn’t I informed earlier?”
“Chou Chou and Niuniu are my children, there are plenty of people outside who can bear you children, no need for you to pretend to be the good guy here!”
“You… Fine! I will go look for the children first; we will talk when I get back!”
Di Yelei also had a lump of anger in his heart, and upon hearing the news that the children were missing, he could not care about having just returned home; he turned around and left the mansion in haste to search for them.
“Someone! Quickly give the order to assemble the team, command the trusted guards to follow me out of the city.”
Watching Di Yelei who had just returned to the manor and hurried out again, Feng’er withdrew her gaze, “Third Aunt, didn’t you already notify Third Uncle?”
When the children were first discovered missing, Di Cheng had intended to send a message into the palace to Di Yelei, but Liu Sisi stopped it.
Liu Sisi, unable to vent her anger and frustrated that the discussion was interrupted, now grew even more infuriated upon hearing Feng’er’s slightly accusatory words and couldn’t help but glare fiercely at her.
“Why notify him? He is deeply engrossed in his affair; if I disturbed his good time, wouldn’t I become the sinner?”
Her speech full of resentful irritation made Sister Guihua laugh softly beside her.
“Sisi, don’t be angry! You also should know what kind of person Brother Ye Lei is. All these years have passed; if he wanted to take a concubine, he wouldn’t have waited until today. There must be something delicate going on that can’t be explained to outsiders. Set your heart at rest and wait for Brother Ye Lei to come back and explain it to you in detail. Rest assured, if he dares to betray you, it’s not just you, even your big brother Zhang won’t let him off!”
These words warmed Liu Sisi’s heart, and she immediately felt her eyes redden.
Her already anxious heart suddenly relaxed, “Sister Guihua, you don’t understand, he had already said it in front of me before, to marry that woman into our home…”
“Does he really have something with that woman? I hardly think so.”
It was Sister Guihua who spoke more, “I asked Zhang Peng, he and Brother Ye Lei had only separated early in the morning. With Brother Ye Lei bringing so many captives on the road, where would he have the time to betray you? There must be a reason behind this. Just wait a bit longer! We can’t let an outsider damage the relationship between you and your husband, right?”
Liu Sisi bit her lip, “Fine! I’ll listen to you. I’ll wait for him to come back and explain!”
“That’s right,”
Guihua also cheered up, “As for the children running away from home, you don’t have to worry. With so many people helping to look for them, they will certainly be fine. Besides, Chou Chou and Niuniu are very clever children. How could ordinary people be any match for them?”
Liu Sisi understood that what Guihua said was true, but she still couldn’t put her mind at ease. The thought that the children had been smart enough to take weapons with them relieved half of her worry. Indeed! After the incident, she had checked the crossbow arrows. She found that the two children’s special mechanical crossbows were missing, which most likely meant that the children had taken them.
However, she hadn’t expected that the children would take the wrong path, or that they would so quickly find themselves surrounded by a wolf pack.
Seeing the eerie green eyes shining in the darkness grow increasingly terrifying, the children’s faces turned pale with fright.
Huddled together, they shivered uncontrollably.
The coachman had already been scared out of his wits and, no longer able to care about anything else, lifted the horse whip and lashed the horse with all his might.
The horse had already been terrified by the wolf pack to the point it was nearly lying down. When it felt pain in its hindquarters, it stopped concerning itself with anything and began to gallop away in a panic.
But the wolf pack didn’t care about such things and chased after the carriage. One big wolf made a fierce leap and directly bit into the horse’s neck.

In pain, the horse neighed loudly in an attempt to shake off the big wolf clinging to its neck, running even faster. However, when a second and third wolf pounced on it, the horse could run no more. It toppled to the ground, breaking its hoof outright.
It was quickly surrounded by the leaping wolves, being torn apart and devoured.
The chilling sounds of chewing terrified the children even further!
They had been scared enough to cry out, but now with their situation so critical and facing imminent death in the wolves’ bellies, the coachman finally shouted.
“Don’t just stand there! Run!”
With those words, he too stopped caring about anything, immediately rushed down from the carriage, and began ferociously whipping the wolves with the leather strap in his hand.
But how could he be any match for the pack of wolves? In the blink of an eye, he was pushed over by several hungry wolves…
“What do we do? What should we do? How are we going to escape? Wuu wuu…”
Gao Qi cried his eyes out, having encountered such a situation for the first time in his life, he was absolutely terrified.
“Don’t cry! We have mechanical crossbows in our hands, let’s kill the wolves!”
Chou Chou said fiercely, neglecting everything else, raised the mechanical crossbow and aimed at a hungry wolf trying to climb onto the carriage.
Whoosh—
The iron crossbow arrow hit the hungry wolf right in the head, effective with a single shot!
“It hit! It hit, the big wolf is dead!”
Niuniu shouted excitedly!
Chou Chou and Gao Qi were also delighted, especially Gao Qi, who couldn’t help but slap Chou Chou on the back, “Hey! You do have a way!”
“You bet! Didn’t you see who helped me make this?”
Chou Chou lifted the mechanical crossbow in his hand with a smug look, but in the next moment, he could no longer smile.
At the edge of the carriage, several wolves were gradually gathering, swiftly attacking the people.
