Chapter 494: Chapter 494: Dealing with the Evil Slave for a Second Time(3)_1

Unbeknownst to her, she had walked quite a distance and when she lifted her head, she found herself very close to the royal hunting ground. Looking at the endless primitive forest and rolling green mountains before her, she suddenly thought: since there are countless prey in the hunting ground, why not allow the white-haired tiger to enter and hunt for its own food? It would save her the trouble of buying its food, and it would also avoid attracting any unwanted attention.

With this thought, she strolled into the hunting ground and gave a soft command, "Out!"

Immediately, the mountain-like white-haired giant tiger appeared before her. Cai Wei smiled and said, "You’ve suffered because of my mistakes in the last few days. Today’s my chance to make it up to you. You can hunt freely inside and eat to your heart’s content!"

"Yes, thank you, master!"

With its head lowered, the white-haired tiger thanked Cai Wei like a polite gentleman.

"Caw! Master, I want to go too, I want to go too—"

Inside the space, Brother Ying became restless: "Master, I want to get some fresh air too! We’re being suffocated here!"

Without any hesitation, Cai Wei allowed them all to come out, including the old turtle.

The air quality in the space was terrible nowadays, so Cai Wei took this rare chance for them to get close to nature and let them all fully breathe in the fresh air.

"Go, have fun. White haired tiger, I am leaving the Great Immortal Turtle in your care. Make sure to look after him. I will come back to pick all of you up in the night."

Cai Wei placed the Great Immortal Turtle on the back of the white-haired tiger and for safety reasons, she used a piece of thatch to tie it onto the tiger.

"Master, you can rest assured!"

After the white-haired tiger assured her, it leapt and disappeared from Cai Wei’s sight.

"Caw——"

Brother Ying let out a cry and vanished as well.

When Cai Wei turned around, even Chang Mei was nowhere to be found, he had wandered off somewhere.

It seemed that they were all really stirred up during this period. Cai Wei chuckled, noticing that it was getting late, and started heading back towards the manor.

By the time she rushed back to the manor, her mother and grandmother were already awake and waiting for her to have a meal.

Today’s lunch was relatively hearty. It consisted of all homemade dishes. Although they were not as delicate and fancy as what was served at the Duke An’s mansion, the dishes were very generous in portions serving in large sea bowls.

A bowl of Chinese yam stewed with cabbage, a bowl of cold mixed wild vegetables, a bowl of black fungus stir-fried with eggs, a bowl of grilled rabbit meat, and a delicious soup of Crucian Carp.

These dishes were prepared by the women of Zhang Biaotou’s home. Although not as exquisite as what was served at Duke An’s mansion, and without much fanfare, they were genuine and original, which Cai Wei liked very much. Lady Du and Lady Mei also ate a lot.

Just as they were finishing their meal, Steward Cao of Duke An’s mansion suddenly paid a visit, followed by seventeen or eighteen despondent servants, both male and female. Upon seeing Cai Wei and Lady Mei, they all knelt down, kowtowed and cried out in unison.

"Old matron, we’re not human, please let us off the hook ..."

"Lady, ah no, Princess An Le, I know my mistakes. Pardon me, I have elders to look after and children to raise..."

Some even tried to gain favor with Lady Du.

"Fourth Aunt, you are the kindest, please implore Princess An Le to spare us, give us a way out."

"Wei’er? What’s going on?"

Lady Du was taken aback by the sudden scene and asked her daughter in astonishment.

Cai Wei let out a cold laugh and said, "These people are the ones who I found have mistreated my grandmother in the past. I originally intended to kill them to vent my anger, but comprehending the virtue of cherishing life, I decided to let them live. I’m giving them a chance to reform by working hard on the manor. If they do well, I’ll forgive them. Otherwise, they’ll all be beaten to death!"

"Princess, we will definitely reform well."

"Thank you, Princess, for giving us a chance to live..."

"Don’t thank me, thank my grandmother. It’s because of her broad-mindedness and kindness that you still have a chance to atone for your sins. If she had been vengeful and wanted me to kill you, I couldn’t have given you a chance to atone."

"Yes, yes, yes, the fact that we will never forget the kindness of the old matron in our lifetime!"

Cai Wei glanced at Lady Mei and gently asked, "Grandmother, are you satisfied with this arrangement?"

Lady Mei didn’t answer directly, but it was clear that she didn’t want to recall the past, nor did she want to have any contact with those who had hurt her.

She sighed, "It would have been better if I hadn’t seen them. But their voices remind me of the past. Well, let it past, it’s old. So just let it go, just don’t let me see them again!"

"Yes, we thank the old matron for her mercy..."

"We thank the Princess..."
