Chapter 308: Chapter 308: Marriage Alliance between Two Countries, Second Watch (2)_1

Having said that, she suddenly lunged forward, forcefully smashing her forehead into the man’s nose.

This was one of the most common defense strategies in modern-day self-defense techniques for women, proven effective against men’s harassment.

Saknu, suddenly hit by her, felt a pang in his nose. Subconsciously, he let her go, covering his own sour nose.

Cai Wei seized the opportunity to jump off the horse and threw a handful of hallucinogenic powder at him.

Saknu, having been ambushed by Cai Wei once, had learned his lesson. Seeing Cai Wei throw something at him, he knew it couldn’t be good, so he quickly raised his two arms to block the medicine powder that Cai Wei used to attack.

The medicine powder was blocked by his two horizontally placed arms and gracefully drifted down, landing on the head of the sweat-blooded BMW horse. The horse suddenly neighed as if injected with chicken blood, raised its hoof, and shot forward like an arrow.

"Hahaha, desire is a dangerous knife, barbarian, die!"

Cai Wei laughed joyfully, as if to vent her resentment.

The effects of the hallucinogenic medicine last for a long time. This horse, as fast as lightning, won’t stop for at least a day or two. Plus, it’s a thousand-mile horse. Who knows where this savage will be taken in a day or two?

After getting rid of Saknu, Cai Wei’s mood improved a lot.

Just now, because she was kidnapped and was a little frightened, the sixteen buns Cai Wei bought were lost. She went back along the original path to find her lost buns, but after searching for a long time, she still couldn’t find them. She suspected they might have been picked up by someone.

She had to buy some other food. Worried about her mother and fearing that the children would go hungry, she hurried back to the medical center.

As soon as she returned to the medical center and walked through the door, she saw Cai Fei and Wu’er looking after their father’s sickbed, crying and sobbing.

Cai Wei was startled and asked, "What happened here all of a sudden?"

Upon seeing Cai Wei return, Cai Fei and Wu’er both stopped their tears in surprise. They threw themselves at her, hugging her and crying and laughing at the same time.

"Older sister, were you taken away by that Liaodan man? How did you come back?"

"Older sister, were you hurt? How did you escape? That Liaodan man looked so horrible!"

Cai Wei sighed, wringing her forehead: "Who have you all been listening to? Look, I’m okay, right? Speaking of which, where’s mom? Where’s Wen’er?"

Cai Fei said while sobbing, "Just now, a little boy came to report that our older sister had been kidnapped by the Liaodan man. We were so scared. Mom and Wen’er went to the county government office to complain..."

Upon hearing this, Cai Wei instantly guessed that the news must have been reported by the little boy who sold buns. She applauded the boy’s gratitude and smart wit but was also troubled by his good intentions that had gone awry. She hadn’t wanted her family to know about this to spare them unnecessary worry. Now that they knew, she was distressed thinking about what her mother might think.

Thinking that her mother and Wen’er were still at the county office, she hastily told Cai Fei and rushed off to find them.

Halfway there, she coincidentally bumped into her mother leading Wen’er and several yamen runners back in a flustered manner. Seeing Cai Wei, Lady Du was as if she had seen a rare treasure, and she hurried over to inquire about the situation.

Cai Wei didn’t want her to worry, so she glossed over the details, only mentioning that she had been kidnapped and then released. She didn’t mention the man’s brutal actions toward her and her retaliation against him!

The yamen runners were thrilled to see her return, saving them an extra trip. After Cai Wei rewarded them with a small tip, they happily headed back to report.

As soon as the yamen runners left, Lady Du took Cai Wei’s hand, her eyes welling up with tears. "Tell me the truth," she pleaded, "Did... did that man... did he hurt you...?"

Cai Wei couldn’t help but laugh. "Mom, look at me. Don’t I seem perfectly fine? When have you ever seen an abused girl walking merrily around the town?"

Lady Du, having found truth in her daughter’s words, wiped her tears away. "Later, I’ll head to the clothing store and buy you and Fei’er a gauze hat each. You must remember to wear them whenever you go out from now on. We should avoid attracting trouble," she resolved.

Cai Wei answered with a soft laugh, "Alright, I’ll do as mom says."

Wen’er, who had remained silent on the side, suddenly spoke up. "Once we reach the capital, I will study martial arts diligently. I won’t let dad, mom, or sister be bullied again!"

Fury sparked in his eyes. Today’s incident and the recent robbery had severely shaken him. He had started feeling like a useless scholar and had resolved to cast aside his education to master martial arts, strive to be a man feared by all bad guys.

Upon hearing his determination to train under Nangong Yi, Cai Wei slyly thought that she would never let them meet once they reached the capital!

That night, Mu Zhongqing finally woke up. The effects of the century-old ginseng were truly astounding. Despite appearing deathly pale at noon, a tinge of life had returned to his cheeks by the night.

"Wei’er... you... are you okay?"

As soon as Mu Zhongqing woke up, he anxiously searched for his daughter, finally relaxing when he saw her unharmed.

"Dad, I’m fine. However, you got seriously injured because of me. I’m really upset about that."

Cai Wei served her father the medicine while speaking regretfully.

Mu Zhongqing gave a weak smile and replied, "I feel useless that I couldn’t protect you and you had to protect me instead. I feel really..."

Cai Wei laughed, "Look at what dad is saying. If you were not useful, how could you have given birth to such wonderful children like us? Having such good kids is enough proof of how useful you are."

Mu Zhongqing, who had planned on expressing his sorrow and shedding tears, was caught off guard by Cai Wei’s retort. His melancholy quickly disappeared, replaced by laughter.

Seeing everyone laughing, Cai Wei got up and served the additional meal she had bought for everyone.

That night, Cai Wei listed some dish names, gave a few money to the restaurant attendant, and instructed him to purchase the dishes from the nearby restaurant.

The shop assistant, excited by the money he received, went cheerfully. When he returned, he brought hot, fragrant meals and an interesting piece of gossip.

He reported that the Liaodan Kingdom was preparing for a royal marriage alliance with the Great Jin Nation. The Great Prince of Liaodan was seeking to marry Zhao Yang, the legitimate princess of the Great Jin Nation. This was done in order to cement an eternal good friendship between the two nations and avoid military conflicts.

After hearing this news, Cai Wei pondered: The legitimate princess of the Great Jin Nation must be that evil man’s sister. Would his mother agree to send her daughter so far away? And that monstrous man, who seemed to respect his mother and love his sister, would he agree for his sister to be married off to a foreign land?

"Wei’er, what are you thinking about? Time for dinner!" Lady Du called out as she served the meals bought by the waiter.

Pulling herself out of her thoughts, Cai Wei joined the table to eat.
