"Your face looks pale, what’s wrong?" She asked worriedly.

Mu Zhongqing turned to her, looked at Cai Wei, and said with a helpless tone, "Sigh! Just now inside, your grandfather and your uncle apologized to me. They know they were wrong and want us two families to turn over a new leaf, to be a family again who, despite our squabbles, are still attached by the same bone marrow!"

Upon hearing this, Cai Wei curled her lips into a smirk, "Oh? So you were moved by their words?"

Mu Zhongqing looked at his daughter’s expression and sighed, "Wei’er, have some faith in me. Your father will not easily be swayed by a few nice words and change his original intentions!"

Hearing her father speak thus, Cai Wei smiled knowingly. Her smile immediately became sly and ingratiating, "Daughter would never doubt her father, you’re just being overly sensitive, right?"

"Hehe, you girl, always so stubborn..."

Mu Zhongqing also started to laugh, then immediately consulted her, "Just now your grandfather wanted us to celebrate New Year’s with them, but I did not agree. I said I would discuss it with you first. Wei’er, what do you think?"

Unknowingly, Mu Zhongqing began to consult Cai Wei on every matter, and more often than not, her opinions determined the final decision.

"Why not? Of course we should go!" Cai Wei said without hesitation.

Before, the two families would always spend New Year’s together, but for the children of the second room, it was far from a joyous occasion. It was more like a nightmare.

On this day, not only did they have to endure the bullying and insults from the children of the main room, they also had to witness their parents being reprimanded and scolded by their grandparents, mocked by their uncle and aunt, and tolerate their grandparents’ unfair treatment.

Although she was not the original host, she inherited the original host’s memories. The unhappiness of spending the New Year at the main room, suppressed deep in the original host’s heart, was now slowly felt and reflected upon by her...

So, this time, she absolutely had to go back and return all the grievance that the original host had suffered over the past decade and more during the New Year’s celebration at the main room – with interest!

When his daughter agreed to go back for the New Year celebration, Mu Zhongqing nodded and said, "That’s good. We will go and return on the same day, for the sake of easing your mother’s and your concerns."

Having settled the matter, the father and daughter returned to the inn. Seeing Lady Du, who had been waiting at the entrance for a good part of the day, welcome them, and noticing Mu Zhongqing’s torn clothes and injuries, Lady Du could not help but be shocked and distressed. She kept asking about what had happened.

When Mu Zhongqing saw that he could not hide the truth from her, he recounted the matter of the main room family being released, and the old man’s request for their family to return to Mu Family Village to celebrate the New Year.

Upon hearing that the old man had struck Mu Zhongqing over the matter of moving, Lady Du’s heart ached so much that tears started to well up in her eyes. But when she heard that Cai Wei had given them all a proper dressing down, she finally calmed down. However, upon hearing that they had to return to Mu Family Village for the New Year, a frisson of fear appeared on her face, which had just calmed down.

Mu Zhongqing saw this and could not help but feel heartache. He reassured her apologetically, "Lady Mei, rest assured, with Wei’er there, they will not dare to bully us again. In the past, I was in the wrong. I always let things slide for the sake of family harmony. As a result, I let you and the children endure so much hardship and humiliation. This made them even more arrogant!"

The words from her husband comforted Lady Du greatly. She said softly, "There’s no need to bring up past matters. After this year, we will move out and we can look forward to better days..."

During dinner, Cai Wei didn’t eat much. While she was waiting outside the medical center for her dad, she had already eaten quite a bit of preserved meat in the carriage, and she was still full. After taking a few bites, she returned to her room to rest.

Having been busy rushing around for the whole day, she was already worn out. After a wash, she undressed and climbed onto the bed, enjoying a good sleep.

Before she knew it, she woke up. When she awoke, the outdoors was pitch black. The night was quiet, so dark she couldn’t even see her hand in front of her. There was no sign of life around, but she suddenly felt something was off. It was as if she was being watched by a pair of hot eyes!

Noticing this, she was startled and sat up abruptly. Looking around in the dark, she found the demon that was blending with the darkness!

"You... what are you doing here?"

She quickly scooted to the corner of the bed, eyeing him warily as he blended into the dark.

Nangong Yi walked leisurely out of the shadows, slowly approaching her. On his handsome face, he wore a mysterious smile!
