Chapter 392: Chapter 392: Harassing the Trashy Relatives (5)_1

At present, seeing that the task Rui Zhu had given her couldn’t possibly succeed, Lady Du immediately dismissed her nanny after Cai Wei left, sending her to the General’s mansion to report the news of Cai Wei’s refusal to meet with Li Rui Zhu.

Upon hearing that Cai Wei had refused to enter the palace, Li Rui Zhu’s normally sunny expression instantly creased.

The instructions of the Empress Dowager still echoed in her ears. She had said, that little b*tch named Mu Caiwei had used some sleazy seductive fox tactics to ensnare His Highness, King Qin. Knowing that she and this little b*tch were relatives the Empress had tasked her with finding a way to get that little b*tch into the palace and publicly embarrass her, showing the King her undignified true colors, thereby ending his infatuation with her.

But, she actually refused to enter the palace with Lady Du. What was she supposed to do now? She couldn’t possibly tie her up and drag her in, could she?

After leaving Garden suitable for Orchids, Cai Wei went straight back to her residence at Changchun Gardens. The day was still young; upon her entrance, she saw Lady Du and Cai Fei with two girls, Xiao Qing and Xiao Hong, making sandwich biscuits at the kang table, while Lady Mei was nestled contentedly against a large Python regius pillow, involved in casual conversation with everyone.

Upon entering the kitchen, Cai Wei washed her hands and returned to the kang table, picking up a mold before joining them in making biscuits.

Lady Du said, "You’ve been busy all day, you should rest. We don’t need your help here. The four of us can handle it."

Cai Wei smiled and said, "I am not tired. With an extra pair of hands, we can make even more. Mother doesn’t know this, but the pastries from our store are in high demand. Yesterday’s batch sold out before noon. There was a long line of customers who couldn’t buy any!"

"Really? Ah, that’s wonderful! In that case, let’s make more like this... "

"Yes, let’s keep this up. The customers are happy, and we are able to earn silver for our home. Why not do it here and now?" As Cai Fei spoke, her hands worked even faster.

Looking at her sensible younger sister, Cai Wei could not help but feel a pang of pity. "Thank you, Mother and little sister, for helping the store make pastries these past few days. You must have been very tired. My original plan was for you to come to the capital and take the role of a well-bred lady. But it seems you have become a dumpling master first."

Cai Fei laughed and said, "See what my sister is saying. It’s just making pastries for a few days. It didn’t make me tired at all. I’m thrilled that my sister is teaching me this skill!"

Lady Du chimed in too, "Fei’er is right! When you girls marry and go to your mother-in-law’s house, having this exceptional skill of making pastries will certainly earn you some bonus points."

Hearing her mother’s tease, Cai Fei blushed and lowered her head, falling silent. She continued with her work, her delicate little face flushed in the candlelight. She looked adorably shy and truly beautiful!

Seeing her shy younger sister, Cai Wei couldn’t help but laugh, "Mother, look at how you’ve made Fei’er blush. But our Fei’er when blushing looks really beautiful, a beauty that’s rare in heaven and hard to find on earth."

Lady Du glanced at Cai Fei and said with a comfortable smile, "They say a girl changes eighteen times, by my estimation, our Fei’er has already undergone her transformation at the tender age of eleven. She’s become so different, I can hardly recognize her. Look at her delicate, water-filled face, it’s as if it would drip water at any moment."

It was true, Cai Fei’s appearance had changed significantly, her skin clear and white, delicate and inviting. Although she was currently only eleven, anyone could see that she would grow up to be an unparalleled beauty capable of overthrowing states and cities.

Having good food and comfortable living conditions these past few months had not only transformed Fei’er’s appearance but also Lady Du; she was gradually regaining her beauty, appearing younger, and her temperament had also become increasingly cheerful.
