Chapter 1045: Chapter 1047: Xiang Yun’s Grand Wedding (4)

Inside the carriage, a young woman of tender age, her head covered with a hood, stepped down from the carriage, holding onto the hand of her maid. She walked with a light and graceful air; and although her face was not visible, one could tell that her figure was exceptionally beautiful, accentuated by the luxurious attire she wore.

The pattern on her clothes was not of gaudy or vivid colors, but of a brocade that was difficult to come by even with a thousand gold. Boss Ma, seated at the Jufude Restaurant, had daily dealings with the likes of Young Master Wang and Sun, as well as others who were either rich or noble, so he was quite knowledgeable about luxury items. Therefore, when he recognized that the lady was wearing brocade that only women of noble rank above imperial concubines could wear, he immediately understood her identity.

At this moment, Cai Wei also noticed the dust-covered Boss Ma and turned to him, laughed and said, "Oh, isn’t this Boss Ma?"

Boss Ma, looking utterly astounded, stuttered, "How do you... know me?"

Cai Wei smiled and said, "I have visited Jufude several times with friends and even had conversations with Boss Ma. It’s a pity that someone important like you forgets so easily, and you’ve forgotten me."

"Oh, I dare not, dare not!"

Boss Ma waved his hands in denial, "How could I, the humble one, know it was you who honored us with your visit? If I had known it was you, I definitely would not have dared to be negligent, hehe..."

Cai Wei also joined in the laughter, which was very amicable. After enough laughter, she slowly asked, "May I know what brings Boss Ma here?"

Boss Ma laugh awkwardly and said, "Ah, it’s rather embarrassing. Previously I made a foolish mistake and hurt my wife and child’s hearts. Now I wish to do some charitable deeds to atone for my wrongful acts, so I’ve come to the Nursing Homes to donate some grain, hoping it might lessen my sins."

Cai Wei nodded and said, "To realize one’s fault and mend one’s ways is most commendable. As long as Boss Ma sincerely corrects his mistakes, the Respected Madam and your son will surely forgive you."

"Yes, yes, thank you... Miss for the advice, I, Ma, will certainly do my utmost to seek forgiveness from my wife and son as soon as possible..."

Encouraged by Cai Wei’s words, Boss Ma was so moved he was nearly brought to tears and quickly made a declaration as if ready to raise his hand in oath.

Cai Wei glanced at Boss Ma and with a cold smile in her heart, she said, "I hope Boss Ma achieves success soon."

With that, she turned and entered the Nursing Homes.

Behind her, Boss Ma was nodding his head like a chicken pecking at grains, "Yes, yes, the humble one will do his utmost, will do his utmost..."

Cai Wei curled her lips into a cold smile. To her, the best punishment for such a man who curried favor and abandoned his wife was to have his schemes crumble and return him to his original life with nothing!

Little did Boss Ma know of Cai Wei’s thoughts; he still believed that the future The Prince’s wife admired his attitude of acknowledging and correcting his mistakes. Upon returning home that day, he laid his cards on the table with Madam Skinny Horse and proposed that he divorce her to bring Lady Mo back instead.

Madam Skinny Horse’s real name was Lady Bai Lianhua; she appeared gentle and compliant, like a delicate lotus flower, but in reality, she was quite shrewd and resourceful.

Hearing that her husband wished to divorce her for no good reason, Bai Lianhua wept with sadness, begging for mercy time after time.

Boss Ma, not willing to truly abandon her and their son, cajoled her by saying, "I will buy a house for you to live in outside, and I will find time to secretly visit you. You will not be deprived of anything to eat or spend; it’s just that I truly cannot let you keep the position of the Official Wife."

Having long been accustomed to the position of a high-ranking wife, Lady Bai could not swallow the humiliation of becoming a hidden concubine. After repeatedly pleading with her husband to no avail, she lost her patience. Dropping her submissive facade, she sneered, "If the Old Master doesn’t show any consideration for our past, then it is not my fault. The Old Master is in charge of the Jufude Restaurant—how much have you taken in kickbacks from the rice and vegetable vendors? How much silver money have you pocketed? I know all about it. Not to mention overcharging customers for liquor and dishes every month and extorting wages from the chefs and shop assistants; I am well aware of that too. If you behave properly with me, all is forgotten. But if you bring this up again, I will expose all these affairs to the Boss. Then, whatever consequences come, the Old Master surely knows!"
