Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family

Chapter 271: 269: Spending Money Lavishly, The Origin of Nan Tianzong

Lan’er was furious: “You! You shrew! You actually, actually…”

“Lan’er, who are you talking to?”

A voice like that of a warbling oriole came forth, making everyone’s body go weak for a moment. The young girl slowly descended the stairs, looking somewhat surprised when she saw Liu Sisi and her group.

“Your Highness! It’s this group of people! They dared to speak ill of you again!”

Lan’er, blaming the others first, pointed at Liu Sisi.

A quick flash of light flickered in the young girl’s eyes, too fast for anyone to catch. Her lips tightly closed, she displayed a maturity on her pretty face beyond her age, but she remained silent for a while.

“Who’s speaking ill? Oh! It’s you guys here.”

A male voice came down from the building, and soon enough, everyone saw an additional figure emerging from their view. The figure gradually revealed itself as a man descended from the building.

It was none other than Nan Tianzong!

He seemed to have dressed carefully today, enhancing his already handsome appearance, making him look even more like a noble gentleman.

Nan Tianzong’s eyes immediately lit up when he saw Liu Sisi and the others! His thin lips blossomed into a seductive, shallow smile.

“So it’s my sworn sister Sisi! Sisi, you also came to the county town today. Why didn’t you inform your brother, so he could be a good host and treat you with a warm welcome?”

While speaking, he also glanced at Di Yelei and the others.

From the moment Nan Tianzong appeared, Di Yelei’s eyebrows had not relaxed.

“Big Brother Nan, you are also here. It’s Sisi who has neglected you. Today we had some business in the city, so we didn’t get the chance to notify you.”

Liu Sisi gave a faint smile. In her heart, however, she couldn’t help but wonder, what was Nan Tianzong up to this time?

“So Brother Tianzong has a sworn sister as well, Luo has been disrespectful.”

A young man wearing a purple-gold crown appeared from behind Nan Tianzong at the side.

Only at this moment did Liu Sisi notice him, who had been standing behind Nan Tianzong.

He didn’t seem much older, slightly older than the Prefecture Princess Thirteen, and around thirteen or fourteen years old. He politely gave Liu Sisi a fist greeting.

“Oh! Look at me, I completely forgot to introduce everyone.”

Nan Tianzong hastily stepped forward, introducing everyone one by one: “This is Prince Luo’s heir, Heir Luo Taining, this is his younger sister, Prefecture Princess Thirteen. This is Ms. Liu, my sworn sister, who is also the female tutor of Lord Gan’s legitimate daughter, Miss Gan. And this is her husband, Di Yelei.”

Everyone naturally exchanged pleasantries and greetings before sitting back down on the floor.

Most people in the group looked indifferent as they chatted about the customs and people of Macheng County. If anyone’s face had changed drastically, it would be Lan’er, who was standing behind Prefecture Princess Thirteen. But no one cared about her at the moment.

Though the Heir has a young age, it must be said that his socializing skills are quite sophisticated. In no time, he was engrossed in conversation with Di Yelei and Zhang Peng.

Liu Sisi and Guihua sat on the other side, quietly sipping the fragrant tea in front of them along with Prefecture Princess Thirteen.

As Liu Sisi watched the eloquent Di Yelei, she felt delighted in her heart.

But when her gaze met Nan Tianzong’s, her eyes turned much deeper. Nan Tianzong could actually befriend the young prince, which implied that his background and identity may not be that simple.

“Prefecture Princess Luo, I apologize for any offense I might have caused at the Silver Pavilion earlier. I hope Your Highness will forgive my rudeness.”

As the saying goes, one can never have too much politeness. Liu Sisi slightly bowed, apologizing for her previous recklessness.

At this moment, she realized that the young girl in front of her, after taking off her arrogant mask, was actually not very old, only about ten years old. It was just that her height and the makeup on her face created an illusion that she was older.

“You really mustn’t say that, niece. It’s clear that Thirteen was not strict enough with her servants, and yet you still… This only makes Thirteen even more ashamed.”

Thirteenth Luo lowered her head in shame.

“…Niece?”

Liu Sisi raised her eyebrows in surprise.

“Yes! Thirteen calls Young Uncle ‘Young Uncle’, and since he and Father are sworn brothers, Thirteen should naturally call you ‘little aunt’. There’s nothing wrong with that, right?” Thirteenth Luo said with a tilted head.

Liu Sisi was shocked: “You… You mean Brother Nan…?”

Nan Tianzong was actually Prince Luo’s sworn brother, no wonder he had such a noble demeanor.

Liu Sisi touched her earlobe, and in an instant, she had become a little aunt. Things changed so fast in this world.

“Yes! Young Uncle and Father get along very well. Don’t judge by Young Uncle’s gentle and elegant appearance, when he gets angry, it’s really something to behold…”

After chatting with Prefecture Princess Luo for a long time, even though she was young, she proved to have quite a set of skills!

Liu Sisi didn’t manage to get any information from the girl, instead being wrapped in a conversation about Nan Tianzong’s secrets.

It made her sweat internally!

Once the conversation opened up, Luo Prefecture Princess was very generous, not only apologizing to YingEr in person but also giving her a meeting gift.

Liu Sisi naturally declined and wouldn’t accept it. In the end, it was Nan Tianzong who decided to let Liu Sisi reluctantly accept the gift on behalf of YingEr.

It wasn’t until a servant rushed over, found Heir Luo, and reported the news that the meeting finally came to an end.

As they were leaving, Heir Luo and Prefecture Princess Luo repeatedly invited everyone to gather again, but Liu Sisi declined politely. She thought to herself that these people had higher statuses, one after another, and were not from the same world as her and the others. It was better to keep a distance!

When Heir Luo and Prefecture Princess Luo left, Nan Tianzong also asked to leave.

“Righteous sister! Our new shop has already started preparations, you must go and inspect it!” Nan Tianzong exuded an energetic and noble aura, causing Liu Sisi to feel increasingly unreal as she watched.

After thinking for a moment, Liu Sisi looked up at the sky and then said,

“Brother Nan, it’s already late today, and in a few days, it will be YingEr’s engagement gifts day. There are still many things to prepare. Next time we come to the county city, Sisi will go and check it out. How about that?”

“It’s YingEr’s big day? Congratulations! This is great news! On that day, I will definitely visit with a thick face, and I hope you won’t refuse.” Nan Tianzong was overjoyed!

Liu Sisi also smiled: “Then the niece and Ye Lei will be waiting for Brother Nan’s esteemed arrival!”

It wasn’t until Nan Tianzong left that everyone hurriedly bought the remaining items and then rushed home.

“Oh! That was the Prefecture Princess and Heir! That almost scared me to death! I really admire you for being able to chat with them so well. That’s amazing!” Guihua exclaimed while patting her chest.

“What’s so special about the Heir and Prefecture Princess? They still have one nose and one mouth. Can they eat people? Look at what you’re saying…” Liu Sisi casually replied.

Guihua by her side muttered: “They won’t eat people. But this extravagant feeling, just one look and you can tell they don’t even consider silver as money, it’s just…”

“Believe me, you and I will one day live a life where we also don’t treat silver as money!”

Liu Sisi laughed! The radiance in her eyes flickered continuously, and her face was full of determination.
