Chapter 1056: Chapter 1058: Princess Zhao Yue (6)

"Miss, is it okay for you to sit there?"

The shop assistant pointed to a window-side spot in the corner of the main hall. The view from that position was perfect; you could enjoy an unobstructed view of the street scene and also take in everything happening inside the restaurant.

"That’s fine!"

Cai Wei spoke, and she and Huan Qiu walked over to the spot, casually asking on the way, "Have you got a new shopkeeper here? Why isn’t Boss Ma around?"

The shop assistant replied, "No, no, it’s just that our Boss Ma has had some matters to take care of recently. This scholar was temporarily asked to help!" After settling Cai Wei into the spot, the shop assistant took the towel off his shoulder and wiped the table down again. Huan Qiu spread out a handkerchief for padding before inviting Cai Wei to sit.

Once Cai Wei settled in, she asked seemingly offhandedly, "Does your shopkeeper have some important business? So busy he’s not showing up for work?"

The shop assistant curled his lip and muttered, "Who knows, he’s mysterious every day, like trying to see the head of a dragon but never its tail..."

"All right, you can go down. Bring up a pot of Biluochun tea and pick out a few vegetarian dishes to serve."

Cai Wei dismissed the shop assistant and used thought to contact Brother Ying, releasing him from her space to look into Boss Ma’s whereabouts.

At this moment, Boss Ma was sitting in the small hall of the Nursing Homes. For several days, he hadn’t seen Lady Mo. Today, he had spent a good deal of money, donating five fine cotton cloths. With these gifts, he simply didn’t believe Lady Mo could resist seeing him.

However, Lady Mo really didn’t show up. He sat in the chair, stretching his neck and constantly looking in the direction of the door. From noon until the sun set, he was almost turning into the husband-watching rock, but Lady Mo still didn’t appear.

The tea on the desk had long gone cold, and so had his heart.

In these days, to see her, to please her, he had donated so much to the Nursing Homes: twenty jins of kerosene, two baskets of charcoal, a load of millet, and thirty catties of pork...

The household finances were under Lady Bai’s control. To get these things, he had gone through a lot of trouble, but in the end, she wouldn’t even show her face just once, which utterly disappointed him!

However, the more Lady Mo refused to see him, the more stubborn he became. If she wouldn’t show up, fine, he would wait. She had to come home at some point. He would follow her, and he would definitely see her!

Boss Ma made up his mind and sat in the Nursing Homes like an old monk deep in predetermined meditation. Despite being ignored at dinner, he didn’t mind at all and kept his focus on waiting for Lady Mo to return home. However, he didn’t wait for Lady Mo to come back; instead, another incident found him.

Lady Bai, holding her child, actually showed up!

Lady Bai came from humble beginnings, knew hardship well, and thus valued money above all. When she inspected the household warehouse today, she discovered a lot was missing. She immediately took some servants for a harsh interrogation, which shockingly revealed that the old master had taken items from home.

Lady Bai quickly pieced together what was happening and burst into a rage.

It seemed the old man didn’t take her threats seriously and had been secretly seeing Lady Mo. Having been divorced, Lady Mo must have been unwilling to let go. Perhaps she was even instigating the old man to divorce her and remarry Lady Mo!

Thinking about this, Lady Bai could no longer restrain the fury in her heart, bringing her children and the maid Servants, storming over in a huff.

"Lady Mo, you old slut who seduces men, come out to me!"

Outside the Nursing Homes, Lady Bai, with two maids and two maidens, her eye bloodshot, yelled like a shrew on the street.

"You old slut, old whore, can’t stand a few years without a man, can you? Deliberately stealing someone else’s man..."
