Chapter 479: Chapter 479: Revenge for Grandmother, Second Watch (2)_1

"But..."

The young shop assistant wanted to ask, you yourself are still a child, can you deal with such a big matter on your own?

However, before he could finish, the shopkeeper’s palm had already slapped his head and scolded, "Stupid boy, didn’t you see that the boss has already handed over the deposit of one hundred taels? Could it be she’s trying to fool us? You are such a simpleton that you can’t tell high from low!"

The beaten servant touched his head and laughed embarrassly, opening his mouth to say, "Hehe, great, now I don’t have to worry about losing my job...hehe..."

Cai Wei had planned to open a dim sum shop, but as the saying goes, oftentimes, things don’t go as planned. She didn’t find a dim sum shop, but instead found a cloth shop.

She originally had the money for the cloth shop, stored in her space, but her space disappeared inexplicably, and the silver therein vanished. Naturally, she had to find another way to buy the shop.

Cai Wei squinted her eyes and thought for a while, and a smile slowly surfaced on the corner of her mouth. She leisurely walked out of the cloth shop, purchased some things in a nearby jade shop, and leisurely walked towards Duke An’s Mansion.

When she returned to Duke An’s Mansion, Cai Wei did not return to her Changchun Garden, but directly went to the Fangfei Pavilion, which is not far from their small courtyard.

Fangfei Pavilion is the residence of Du Ruohai’s concubine, Aunt Liao, and their son’s family, as well as their unmarried daughter, Miss Du Yue.

Upon reaching Fangfei Pavilion, Cai Wei stood at the entrance and called, "Anyone there?"

It wasn’t long before a little servant girl hurriedly rushed out of Fangfei Pavilion. Seeing Cai Wei, she quickly bowed in salutation.

"The servant girl offers respect to Princess An Le, wishing you a thousand gold fortune."

"Get up!"

Cai Wei casually asked, "Is the elderly aunt home?"

The little maid answered hurriedly, "Yes, yes, yes, today the elderly aunt mentioned she wanted to congratulate you. It’s such a coincidence that you came, please come in, princess!"

After speaking, she eagerly led Cai Wei inside. Just as they reached the entrance, Lady Liao had already come out with her son Du Yongqi, her daughter-in-law Lady Liu, her daughter Miss Du Yue, and a seven or eight-year-old granddaughter. Upon seeing Cai Wei, the entire family humbly bowed.

"Offering our respects to Princess An Le!"

Cai Wei stepped forward to help Aunt Liao and laughed, "We are all one family, and you are all my elders, there’s no need for such formalities, is there?"

Lady Liao replied modestly, "Your words are too heavy, princess. I cannot bear such a great honor. I do not know what I can help the princess with that caused you to grace us with your presence?"

Cai Wei replied with a soft laugh, "I wouldn’t dare to instruct but yes, my mother had heard that the little miss has a betrothal offer and sent me over to see if you all needed any help."

Upon hearing this, Miss Du Yue immediately jumped in fright, biting her lip tightly. Her pair of big eyes anxiously looked at her mother.

Lady Liao comforted her daughter with a look before turning to Cai Wei and said with a smile, "The princess is mistaken. Miss Yue is not betrothed to anyone. A few days ago, someone did come to propose marriage, but the master didn’t think it was a good match. After considering it for a few days, we declined the family’s offer."

Cai Wei shook her head and gave a cold laugh. She tilted her mouth corner and said coldly, "Mother Liao, do you really think that because you have taken the blame for the Old Madame’s mistreatment of my grandmother, they will give up the idea of selling off your daughter? You’re being too naive."

Upon hearing this, Lady Liao’s face went as white as a sheet, as if she had been hit by a bolt of lightning. She stuttered, unable to speak for a long while.

Seeing Lady Liao’s expression, Cai Wei became even more convinced of her suspicions and continued, "These years, you must have had a hard time living under the old lady. Your son has been disabled, your daughter is about to be treated as a pawn, sold to a man in his sixties, and even your poor little granddaughter will probably...hehe..."
