Chapter 1033: Chapter 1035: Agreeing to Ascend to the Throne (6)

The fierce-faced man, who had risen after injuring his shoulder, saw his last brother fall and gritted his teeth. Despite the severe pain, he was still determined to catch Cai Wei but was deftly dodged by her.

Cai Wei, holding a gun, used it as a weapon, wielded it, and struck heavily on his wound. The man, impeded by his injury, was not as agile as usual and failed to dodge in time. He was hit on his wound and groaned in pain as cold sweat flowed down...

"Coachman!"

Cai Wei called out, and the coachman, who had been fearfully hiding at the edge of the coach, peeked out.

"Little, little... sister..."

Seeing his demeanor, Cai Wei rolled her eyes and said, "Tie them up for me, and later we’ll take them back to the County Government Office for a thorough investigation to see who sent them and why?"

"..."

The coachman looked pitifully at Cai Wei, trembling, yet he dared not approach.

Seeing this, Cai Wei pulled out a silver ingot, roughly two or three taels in weight, from her bosom, weighed it in her hand, and signaled, "Hurry up!"

When the coachman saw the silver, embodying the saying "Money is courage," he gritted his teeth. He found some ropes on the Yamen Runners lying on the ground and, plucking up his courage, managed to tie up the four people from Liaodan.

During the tying process, Cai Wei kept watching coldly with the gun, silently warning them. The men, injured and seeing her threaten them with a hidden weapon, knew they were no match and therefore gave up resistance, obediently letting themselves be captured.

After tying them up, Cai Wei tossed the silver to the coachman and leisurely sat back into the coach. Once settled, she even lifted the curtain and, looking at Head Catcher Tian on the ground, laughed and said, "I’m off to handle some business. I’ll trouble Head Catcher Tian to find a way to bring these men back for questioning. I’ll return in a few days to hear the results!"

After speaking, she smiled meaningfully and added, "I know Head Catcher Tian can do it. You won’t let me down, will you!"

Having said this, she didn’t wait for Head Catcher Tian to respond, let down the curtain, and instructed the coachman to drive off.

Head Catcher Tian’s face reddened as he stood up from the ground. In fact, his injuries were not serious; he had just exaggeratedly stayed down knowing he couldn’t defeat the men from Liaodan...

When they arrived at the manor, the sun was already leaning westward. Cai Wei’s arrival was warmly welcomed by everyone in the manor, from top to bottom. The elders and children of the Nursing Homes initially felt timid upon seeing Cai Wei, but once they realized she didn’t put on any airs and personally distributed dim sum, inquiring about their well-being, they opened up and began joking and chatting with her.

Gou Dan’er, along with Xi Niu, Zhao Di, and a few other little kids, joyously gathered around Cai Wei, sharing the maltose she had bought for them. When the sweet candy reached their mouths, the children blissfully squinted their eyes, a picture of sheer contentment!

The candy from Cai Wei was not given for free. She checked the children’s lessons in the Nursing Homes. Those who recited well received a piece of maltose as a reward, while those who did not could only watch others eat, longing.

Although a piece of maltose was not worth much, Cai Wei was clear about rewards and punishments and did not indulge them. The children who failed to recite clasped their fingers, tearful eyes fixed on Cai Wei, who showed no sympathy. She wanted the children to develop a strong and ambitious temperament from a young age. A child with weak willpower, too lazy to even memorize, was bound not to achieve much—an outcome she certainly did not wish for!

Girl who loves girls had a good temperament and taught the children to follow rules strictly. Several older children had already begun to practice their handwriting. Cai Wei specifically reviewed these children’s writing and inspected the assignments they were sent. Naturally, the children who excelled received the rewards they deserved.

As for those who did not receive rewards, this event had sparked their determination. They resolutely decided to study diligently so that when older sister came to see them next time, they would definitely reclaim their pride!

After dinner, it was already dark. Cai Wei and Sanchun went to talk leisurely in the manor’s courtyard.

Sanchun was in the prime of her youth. Although she had been married once, Magistrate Li’s weak son was ill at the time and could not consummate the marriage. Thus, in Cai Wei’s heart, Sanchun was still an unmarried girl with a bright future ahead of her.

While life at the manor was peaceful and easy, where could she find a marriage predestined by fate in such a remote and isolated place?

However, Sanchun did not share Cai Wei’s concerns. Having been married once, she was still traumatized by marriage. Although she was still young, her heart was filled with bleakness. In her mind, she only wished to live peacefully and happily each day without worries for food or drink, together with her mother and younger sister. As for marriage and love, she had already cut off such thoughts.

People’s beliefs and ideas are not formed overnight, nor can they be changed instantly. Although Cai Wei could not agree with these ideas, changing them was not an easy task. It would require a long process. Cai Wei thought for a moment and decided to let her live peacefully for a while. Given her young age, there was no rush. Time would gradually smooth her mindset before finding a way to reintroduce her to a new life.

At nightfall, the manor was utterly silent. Cai Wei took advantage of everyone being asleep to leave a letter for Sanchun and quietly departed the villa, heading straight for Northern Ridge...

That night, Nangong Yi left the Crown Prince’s Mansion and still ran dozens of miles to Cai Wei’s room in the manor to sleep. Although his whole body ached with longing for her, being in her space, surrounded by her scent and traces, could slightly calm his restless and anxious heart...

The distance from Northern Ridge’s Royal City to Qing County was not far. After passing the extensive Kalun Mountain, it took just over one shi chen more to arrive.

When Cai Wei arrived, it was not yet the fourth watch of the night.

She entered the space and slept soundly until daybreak, only then waking up.

By this time, the people of the Meng slaves had already started their day—some cooking, others herding, a new day had begun.

Cai Wei, not accustomed to the dietary habits of the Meng slaves who ate with their hands and did not prioritize hygiene while cooking, specifically picked some tender corn from the cornfield in her space. After boiling it, she had it for breakfast before coming out.

Before heading to the capital, Tuoba Kui had entrusted the glass crafting work to his younger brother, Tuoba Liang, instructing him to supervise the glass-burning craftsmen.

Tuoba Liang was extremely diligent and had strong managerial skills.

Since Tuoba Kui’s departure, he had personally supervised the craftsmen every day, periodically testing the quality of the glass they produced. Well-performing craftsmen were rewarded, while those who cut corners or produced inferior products were punished. He established a strict management system, with strict supervision at each level. Every piece of glass was numbered and could be traced back to an individual!

As a result, the quality of this batch of glass was excellent. Cai Wei inspected it and was very satisfied!
