Chapter 927 -927: No One Can Replace!
Liu Sisi furrowed her brows and gave her a few looks, then smiled, “Fine! Then you can continue to stay here for now.”
Having said that, she stood up and slowly walked outside.
After only a few steps, she turned back to look at Xing Pan’er.
Xing Pan’er did not dare to delay and quickly kneeled to pay her respects, “Sister… Pan’er respectfully sees off Princess Ruyu.”
“Very good! I hope you conduct yourself properly.”
Liu Sisi glanced around, then turned and left the room again.
“Pass down the order that all unrelated personnel in the manor must not roam around freely. Whoever disobeys will be punished with 20 hits of the board!”
“Yes! Princess.”
The manor’s manager hurriedly complied.
Just as she was about to leave the manor, Liu Sisi turned to look at the manager one last time.
“You’d better be clear on who your master really is. I don’t need useless people here! Go and take 30 hits of the board, and if there are any further problems with your duties, bring me your head!”
She did not want to be so absolute in her words. But it seemed these servants who sought to gain from changing loyalty could no longer remain!
“Yes, this servant understands.”
The manor’s manager felt as if he had been fished out of the water; once Liu Sisi and her entourage had left the manor, he collapsed on the ground.
Two servants hurried forward to help him up.
He didn’t care about anything else and quickly ordered everyone, “Never mind me! Go, quickly carry out the Princess’s arrangements. Take good care of young wife Xing, and tidy up what needs to be tidied. Don’t make any more blunders. Go!”
“Yes, yes, yes, manager, don’t worry. I’ll go do it right away.”
Liu Sisi had no idea what was happening behind her; at the moment, she was heavily preoccupied as she sat in the carriage.
Zuo Xingyu followed closely on horseback, repeatedly seeming like he wanted to say something but stopping himself.
Liu Sisi was resting her head on her hand, her fingers gently pressing on her temples, “If you have something to say then just speak. Is there a need for such restraint between us?”
Zuo Xingyu hesitated for a moment, then sighed, “Princess, you really shouldn’t have come here.”
“Are you saying I shouldn’t have come, lest people think I am jealous?”
Liu Sisi’s hand over her temples did not relax, “Or are you saying you think I shouldn’t have deliberately made things difficult for her, to avoid her biting back at me in front of Old Master Marquis?”
“So the Princess thought of that too…”
Liu Sisi shook her head and looked out of the carriage, “Thought of it or not, it makes no difference. If Di Yelei really reprimands me just because of her few words, then I’m afraid the marital bond between him and me would have reached its end…”
She suddenly found herself unable to continue, simply shaking her head silently, her eyes reddening.
“A marriage needs both parties to maintain it. If there truly is a conflict, you should find out the full story from him, at least listen to what he has to say, rather than making wild guesses. Not even the deepest feelings or fate can withstand being worn down by misunderstanding after misunderstanding.”
“Why are you telling me all this?”
Liu Sisi did not say, but over the years she had clearly understood Zuo Xingyu’s feelings for her. Even this morning, the words he had been unable to say, she understood them all.
It was precisely because she understood that she found Zuo Xingyu’s current words so incomprehensible.
The horse walked slowly forward with measured steps. Zuo Xingyu took a deep breath and slowly let it out, “Because I want you to be happy. Because I know you truly love him.” No one else can replace him!
“You really do understand me.”
Liu Sisi laughed, though her tears could not help but fall.
She hurriedly ducked into the sedan chair, avoiding the other’s gaze and stealthily wiping away the tears that had slipped down unintentionally.
“Yes! Who else if not us, who are such good friends.”
It was precisely because he understood her that he knew she deeply loved Di Yelei. If she didn’t love him, this journey today wouldn’t have happened.
He couldn’t help but reminisce about when he initially went to her to break off their engagement.
Back then, her complexion was very calm; perhaps behind that calm facade, she had also wept bitterly?
“Sisi, give him another chance, listen carefully to his explanation. Wait until he has finished speaking before deciding what you’ll do next. Don’t worry, though, you at least have me. I’ll always be by your side!” Never parting, never forsaking!
“I will…”
She would give him a chance, listen carefully to what he had to say.
Zuo Xingyu slightly curled the corners of his mouth, his brows furrowed into a deep frown, seemingly tighter than before.
It was unclear what kind of feeling was stirring in his heart.
Upon returning to the manor, Old Cheng hurried up, “Princess, His Majesty had Eunuch Xiao deliver the rewards for Marquis, and the old servant didn’t dare to decide anything on his own, so I piled all the rewards in the flower hall. Eunuch Xiao is still waiting in the hall, claiming to have a verbal decree from His Majesty for the Princess.”
Hearing that Eunuch Xiao was in the hall, Liu Sisi, despite her fatigue, had to muster up her energy.
“Understood. You make sure to carefully check all those rewards, compile a ledger for each one, and have them sent to the storehouse. I’ll head to the hall now.”
Eunuch Xiao was savoring the fragrant tea, his thoughts wandering far away.
When he heard the sound of servants outside announcing, “The Princess has arrived,” he hurriedly stood up to greet her.
“The old servant bows before Princess Ruyu. May the Princess enjoy peace and prosperity.”

“Eunuch Xiao, please rise quickly.”
Liu Sisi’s face bore a faint smile, “Eunuch Xiao, it was kind of you to make the trip here. Someone, give the eunuch a seat.”
“The old servant is here by Imperial command, this is my duty, not something I dare call hardship. The old servant thanks the Princess for her generous reward.”
After another round of thanks, Eunuch Xiao sat on the edge of the stool brought by the servants.
Eunuch Xiao seemed especially respectful today.
A thought flashed through Liu Sisi’s mind, and she smiled faintly, “The housekeeper mentioned, Father Emperor has a verbal decree for Ruyu?”
“His Majesty did indeed send a verbal decree for this servant to convey. His Majesty said, ‘Tell Ruyu, you are my child, do whatever you wish to do. If anything does go wrong, you still have me, your Father Emperor to back you. I may not have many skills, but protecting you for a few more years isn’t difficult.’ When His Majesty said these words, several elders and the Prime Minister were all listening.”
Liu Sisi hurriedly got up, knelt toward the direction of the imperial court, and kowtowed deeply three times.
“This humble daughter Ruyu thanks Father Emperor for his loving care.”
This affection deeply moved Liu Sisi! At that moment, Zhao Yuanlang was like an ordinary father, wholeheartedly devoted to his child, expecting no repayment, solely focused on keeping her safe. Especially at this moment, sending the verbal decree, this sentiment was worth more than any treasure!
“Princess, please get up; the ground is cold, and kneeling too long could cause health problems,”
Eunuch Xiao wore a smile of squinting eyes, personally extending a hand to help her up, “Princess, besides the Imperial decree, this old servant also has a gift for the Princess.”
“Oh? What gift does Eunuch Xiao refer to…?”
Liu Sisi’s curiosity was piqued by the other’s statement.
Eunuch Xiao smiled mysteriously, took out a brocade box from his bosom, held it high above his head with both hands, and presented it to Liu Sisi.
“Princess, please have a look!”
