Chapter 1142: Chapter 1147: Xiang Yun’s Decision (2)

Cai Wei snorted with laughter and said, "Getting sentimental, aren’t we? But that’s all right. If you acknowledge my kindness, help me with several things I want to do but can’t manage!"

Nangong Yi replied, "Whatever you wish, Madam, please just tell me!"

Cai Wei said, "I want to widely establish Nursing Homes throughout the country, dedicated to supporting those elderly orphans, the disabled, and homeless children who have no one to look after them. It’s a very costly project, and using the silver from the National Treasury will surely meet with opposition from many conservative ministers. You have just ascended the throne, and I don’t want you to be criticized because of this. Therefore, I will bear all the expenses for the construction and maintenance of the Nursing Homes. You only need to select reliable people within each town to manage the Nursing Homes and ensure they take good care of the inhabitants!"

Nangong Yi said, "That’s easy enough, but wouldn’t it be too much for you to support so many by yourself? Why don’t I initiate a fundraising campaign? That way, we won’t have to touch the silver in the National Treasury, and we can raise quite a bit of money."

"No need!"

Cai Wei flatly rejected his suggestion, "The people of the world all know that I started the Nursing Homes. If donations are collected in their name now, there will certainly be rumors accusing me of seeking fame, exploiting donations for my own gain. Although I don’t care about how others see me, I can’t ignore the impact on you. Rest assured, if I weren’t capable of establishing Nursing Homes, I wouldn’t pretend to be and embark on such a venture. Since I have decided to do it, I am fully confident of my ability!"

Knowing Cai Wei possessed extraordinary talents, Nangong Yi felt assured that she indeed had the necessary means.

"Wei’er, most people say that your marriage to me is like a sparrow that has become a phoenix, that you have married above your status. In fact, only I know that I am the one who has married above his status, clinging to your coattails!"

Hearing the phrase "clinging to the coattails," Cai Wei involuntarily tensed up, then looked up at the waning moon and said, "It’s not early; we should go back."

Nangong Yi looked ahead and suddenly suggested, "Eh? There’s a pavilion up ahead. Why don’t we sit there for a while? It’s still early, and there’s nothing to do when we get back except sleep!"

Upon hearing "sleep," Cai Wei shivered slightly and unconditionally compromised, obediently following Nangong Yi into the pavilion.

At this time, to sleep, and to sleep with a man, was simply courting death!

The night was dark and windy, and to avoid going back to "sleep," Cai Wei resigned herself to sitting in the pavilion, casually chatting with the man about their first meeting, their poetry competition in the town, and their joint efforts against Tianjizi...

When it came to Tianjizi, excitement flashed across Cai Wei’s face, "Hey, did you know? I found Tianjizi’s Human Head and destroyed it!"

Nangong Yi raised his eyebrows, displeasure apparent on his face, "When did this happen? Why didn’t I know about it?"

"That was during the days just after you arrived in Lingbei. That old freak was hiding in Lü Junchen’s house, teaching that beast Lü to practice the Dark Arts of harvesting yin to replenish yang, with the absurd hope of seizing his body once Lü succeeded. Fortunately, I discovered it in time, or who knows what might have happened!"

"I see."

Realizing that this had happened during his absence, the man’s expression relaxed. Had such a significant matter been kept from him, and she took risk alone, he certainly would not have been pleased!

Cai Wei continued, "I’ve sealed his ashes inside The Great Immortal Turtle’s refining stove. When I find the time, I’ll pass it on to Master Li Guo to deal with it properly, lest any complications arise."

Nangong Yi replied, "Mhm, Tianjizi was powerful and unfathomable, so it’s better to be cautious."
