Time passed swiftly, and before long, the cooked dishes were ready.
Once the meal was served, Di Yelei woke Liu Sisi up.
This time when she awoke, her eyes gradually regained clarity, and her spirits seemed visibly improved, though her face remained deathly pale.
"Ye Lei, where are the children? Why haven't I seen them since I woke up?"
Liu Sisi asked as soon as she sat down, taking the initiative.
"This time, on imperial orders to return home and visit family, I brought all the children back with me. Thankfully, you've raised them all so well, they're all very obedient. Just Chou Chou, that child, the older he gets, the more rambunctious and less he listens. A few days ago, I restricted him from going out to play, and he nearly got hit by a carriage."
Liu Sisi took a bite of her meal without replying.
