Chapter 292: Chapter 292: Face First to the Ground, One More Update (3)_1

Unfortunately, the man didn’t even give her a chance to confess her feelings. He coldly and directly ordered, "Come here!"

"Yes, Master!"

A shadow flashed, and a man in black respectfully knelt before him.

"Take care of it!"

The man expressed his disgust as if the weeping girl in front of him wasn’t a maiden in full bloom, but rather a revolting toad.

"Understood!"

The man in black respectfully bowed his fist and rose to go towards Cai Ping.

Cai Ping was frozen, watching as the expressionless man in black approached her. Before she could understand what was going on, she had already been hoisted by her collar and thrown into her own courtyard with a ’thump.’

Unluckily, she landed face first. Cai Ping screamed, followed by a mournful wail of pain.

Watching this scene, Cai Wei couldn’t help touching her own face, feeling distressed for Cai Ping. A young lady should respect herself more. Otherwise, she would have to endure such humiliation. Moreover, if her face hit the ground first, wouldn’t it ruin her beauty?

"What are you thinking? Aren’t you coming over?"

Nangong Yi lightly ordered, reaching out his hand towards her.

Hearing his urging, Cai Wei had no choice but to turn her gaze away and make her way over. Avoiding his hand, she climbed into the carriage.

Nangong Yi was used to her behaving like this and didn’t mind. He pulled back his hand and smiled helplessly before returning to the carriage.

As soon as Nangong Yi got in the carriage, Cai Wei asked, "Has all the silver been distributed?"

While Nangong Yi was untying his cloak, he responded, "Old Li and Chase Wind are overseeing it. It should almost be done."

As he spoke, he hung his cloak next to Cai Wei’s. The two pieces of clothing were hung closely together, creating an indescribable feeling...

Cai Wei looked away, not looking at the two pieces of clothing. She faintly said, "Now, I can leave with peace of mind!"

"Where are you going? The Capital?"

Nangong Yi asked, if she was going to the Capital, they could travel there together. Wouldn’t that give them more time together?

However, Cai Wei said, "First, I have to find my family. Then I’ll make plans."

Sensing that she wouldn’t go with him, Nangong Yi felt a slight sense of loss. But he quickly adjusted and said, "In that case, I’ll stay and help you look. I have more people, so it should speed things up."

Cai Wei didn’t need his help. Brother Ying was a master at finding things. Even without the nourishment of space aura, finding her family wouldn’t be too difficult, so she promptly rejected him.

"There’s no need for you to worry. I can find them. You should go home to prevent your mother from worrying."

Hearing the words ’go home,’ a bitter taste rose in Nangong Yi’s heart.

Going home was reasonable, but the thought of separating from her and not knowing when they would next meet made him already miss her. This kind of longing was not pleasant!

Moreover, according to his informant, Huo Yuan was planning to open a Ginseng Business to please her. This was even more frustrating news.

While he couldn’t give her the marriage she wanted, he had thought of letting go. But when he heard other men were eager to court her, his heart was thrown into panic. It felt as if his prized possession was being coveted by others. He wished he could hide her from all men!

He even considered using force to keep her by his side. But this thought was fleeting. She wouldn’t bow down to destiny. Even if it meant destroying the net after a fish’s death, she wouldn’t be coerced. Plus, he didn’t want to see her looking upset and angry. So, he’d rather let go...

After countless thoughts, he ultimately realized that he was not destined to be with her. Now, all he could do was treasure every moment he spent with her. Every small moment would become a treasured memory amid the intense and dramatic court life.

"Wei’er, I can’t go home yet. You forgot, Tianjizi’s head has not been found yet!"

He was explaining, though he wasn’t sure if that was truly his intention or if he had another agenda.

Upon mentioning Tianjizi’s head, Cai Wei also furrowed her brows. Her mood suddenly grew heavy, thinking how something so noticeable could just simply disappear. Just as Nangong Yi said, Tianjizi was too dangerous. If they didn’t find him, she would never feel at ease!

"That’s good then, stay for now. Both Tianjizi’s head and my family shouldn’t have gone far. As long as we search within a circumference of three hundred miles, we should be able to find them!"

"Alright, we’ll listen to Wei’er!"

Nangong Yi smiled warmly, picked up the purple clay teapot from the small red clay stove, and poured a cup of tea for her.

"It’s cold today. You didn’t sleep well last night and fought all day today. Have some tea to warm up!"

Tasting the elegant fragrance of the tea, Cai Wei realized she hadn’t eaten anything since yesterday. Her mouth was immediately dry. She took a sip and felt the full-bodied flavor and an immediate sense of refreshment. Then she said, "Good tea, why aren’t you drinking?"

Nangong Yi laughed and said, "No one else has ever ridden in my carriage, so there’s only ever been one cup."

Hearing this, Cai Wei quickly put the green jade measure back on the small table. She thought about using a man’s cup and couldn’t help but feel a bit uncomfortable. She touched her lips absentmindedly.

This minor action did not escape the man’s eyes. He chuckled lightly, picked up the green jade measure, followed Cai Wei’s lip mark, and drained the remaining half cup of tea.
