Chapter 255: Chapter 255: Cai Ping Got Into Trouble (6)_1

Wen’er and Wu’er, being used to the fine food from home, simply couldn’t stomach such swine-like fare. They barely ate a few bites before they put down their chopsticks, refusing to eat more.

Cai Wei and Cai Fei didn’t eat much either, setting down their chopsticks early.

After dinner, worried about her mother working all day without rest, Cai Wei stood up and moved to the outer room, asking her mother to go to the inner room for dinner, while she took her mother’s place outside.

Standing by the table, she noticed that Nangong Yi ate very little, hardly touched his chopsticks, only held conversations with Mu Zhongqing and Manager Li, and occasionally spoke a few words with the Clan Leader. He virtually ignored the Great House of Mu.

Lady Li, seeing Cai Wei replacing Lady Du, couldn’t help but think of her own daughter. The girl, probably traumatized earlier, hadn’t returned since she ran out, truly worrisome!

As her worry grew, a boy who frequently hung around with Mu Chongfu suddenly barged in. As soon as he entered, he blurted out: "Fuzi, is your sister Cai Ping home?"

The people of the Mu family were upset by his tactlessness. Any young man who would ask about someone else’s daughter right upon entering would upset anyone.

Lady Li sternly replied, "Yes, she’s home, what’s the matter?"

The boy slapped his chest and said, "Thank goodness! Earlier, as I was passing by Mu Erlaizi’s house, I saw him carrying a woman inside, who, on a glance, bore a great resemblance to Sister Ping’er. Only, she was wearing different clothing, a big red Beizi, probably some kiln sister from the town!"

Lady Li felt a jolt after hearing this, and immediately rushed towards her daughter’s side room. Mu Zhongli also got up nervously, dropping his chopsticks. Mu Chongfu and Mu Chongcai looked at each other, faces filled with terror.

In a while, Lady Li hurriedly returned, crying out as she entered, "Ping’er is not in her room! What should we do?"

"What are you standing around for? Hurry and find them at Mu Erlaizi’s house!" Mu Liankui roared, slamming the table.

The members of the Mu family had no regard for their guests and quickly dispersed to go looking.

Although Mu Zhongqing was not fond of Mu Caiping, she was still his niece, and he couldn’t turn a blind eye to this incident. So, he caught up with the others and went along too.

Lady Mu Bai from the inner room, hearing the commotion outside, rushed out to inquire about it. Cai Wei, not hiding anything, explained the whole incident to her.

Lady Mu Bai, upon hearing this, was as struck by lightning on a clear day, wailing as she rushed out.

In a blink of an eye, the room was left with only Nangong Yi, Manager Li, and Cai Wei, along with a few unimportant guards behind Nangong Yi.

Cai Wei looked at Manager Li and laughed, "The atmosphere here must be amusing for you, an elder."

Manager Li wasn’t concerned about the debacle of the Great House, but frowned, saying, "The food at your granduncle’s house is barely edible. Had I known, I would have rather stayed at home with those stone-faced people than eating this pig food here."

Nangong Yi laughed and said, "If you want delicacies, it’s not hard to get them. We have prepared some, but we lack a skillful and thoughtful cook."

Manager Li, hearing this, immediately grinned at Cai Wei, saying, "Girl, you see, I am already old, if I don’t eat well, I will surely fall ill. If I get sick, there will be no one to help you fight against that old snub Tianjizi. So... hehe..."

Cai Wei, forehead in her hand, helplessly said, "Alright, enough said, I will cook for you."

On hearing this, Manager Li was as delighted as a child, chuckling and saying, "Good girl, I knew you were kind-hearted!"
