Chapter 656: Chapter 656 Retribution(4)_1

Yu Lizheng coughed a couple of times, saying, "Misunderstanding, a misunderstanding.... let’s go, we need tofight the fire!"

Having said that, he led his men directly to the Hongyun Casino.

A few maids from the Lü Family clumsily lifted Lady Yu onto the horse carriage, instructing the coachman to rush to the medical center. The servants with broken arms and legs also struggled to find their own way to the hospital for bone setting.

The noisy scene at the entrance quietened. Feeling Aunt Zhou’s critical gaze, Cai Wei quickly gave a faux yawn, "Oh, I am so tired, I need to go back to sleep. Auntie, you should also go back and rest early, good night....."

After speaking, she didn’t wait for Aunt Zhou to respond, she swiftly returned to her courtyard like a whirlwind, closed the door, and went straight back into her house.

Zhou Laowu coughed once, said with his hands behind his back, "Everyone go to bed!"

Jiujin stared at the closed gate of Cai Wei’s house, not moving, as if lost in thought.

Aunt Zhou sighed and said, "Girl Wei is capable of taking care of herself, you don’t need to protect her. Even if bad guys come, she can handle it. Hurry up, go back to the room and sleep!"

Jiujin lowered his head, feeling a sting in his young heart as his mother’s words, ’she does not need you to protect her’ echoed in his ears. He quietly mumbled "Hmm", and followed his parents back to their house.

She was not his previous Sister Wei’er anymore!

Now, she could earn money and support the family by herself. She was no longer the pitiful little girl who would have gone hungry without his secret help; nor was she the shy neighbor girl who had looked at him with a face full of admiration. Now, she was independent, confident, and better than him at everything. Even in martial arts, a domain typically excelled by men, she was more than a few levels above him.

It seemed... she really didn’t need him anymore...

Upon returning to her bedroom, Cai Wei immediately entered the Space without hesitation.

In the Space, Chang Mei was still diligently firing up the refining stove, the entire refining room was heated intensely, it was somewhat stifling.

"Has there been any progress inside?"

Cai Wei sat on a stool near the mouth of the stove, signaling Chang Mei to rest for a while. She picked up a piece of firewood, placing it into the refining stove.

"Mistress, there has been no movement, maybe the old demon is really dead!"

Chang Mei moved aside, wiping the sweat from her forehead that had been generated by the heat.

"That’s not certain. Tianjizi is highly skilled and has practiced lots of dark arts. What if he’s pretending to be dead and waiting for us to open the stove so he can perform his Gold Cicada Shedding Shell trick!"

Cai Wei had already made up her mind that she wouldn’t stop the fire until she was completely certain of Tianjizi’s death.

After silently stoking the fire for a while, Cai Wei suddenly thought that she should ask Manager Li. He must know how to deal with this old demon and would certainly know if the demon was dead or alive now.

"You keep an eye on the stove, I’m going to write a letter!"

Cai Wei handed the task of firing the stove back over to Chang Mei, and returned to her room to write a letter.

While writing the letter, Cai Wei realised that she hadn’t written to her home in several days. Her parents must be worried about her. So, she decided to write an extra letter, after all, both her home and Manager Li were in the capital. Hence, there was no harm in having Brother Ying run an errand, letting her parents know she was fine and allowing them to rest easy!

After finishing her letters, she sent off Brother Ying.

Cai Wei returned to the refining room, prepared to stoke the stove for the night.

Stoking the furnace was not tiring, but it was miserable. Sitting next to the fire, being roasted alive, it was not long before her sweat soaked through her clothes.

However, as long as she could eliminate that old monster, Cai Wei felt it was worth it!

In the wee hours of the night, Cai Wei suddenly felt a tremendous pain in her lower abdomen, so much so that she almost fell off the stool. Holding her stomach, she shouted for Old Turtle, wanting him to check why her stomach suddenly hurt so much!

Old Turtle was slow to arrive. By the time he finally made his leisurely way over, Cai Wei was in so much pain she almost bit through her lip.

However, before he could examine Cai Wei, something strange happened, Cai Wei suddenly disappeared!

Gone from the Space!

...

The moment she was ejected from Space, a warm flow erupted from between her legs, a deep red color that soaked her underpants and skirt, like a blooming flower.

Cakebuyer!

Looking at the ever-growing red stain, Cai Wei howled out, for the love of God, her period had come!

She still had so many urgent matters to attend to, she still didn’t know the fate of Tianjizi, but, her period had arrived!

In other words, she couldn’t enter the Space for the next few days!

Cai Wei was very frustrated, but given the current urgency, she didn’t have time to be despondent. She quickly tore off the cotton quilt that covered her, tore the liner into strips, folded them into the shape of a sanitary pad, put them in, and then hurriedly removed her skirt to wash...

Early the next morning, after eating the breakfast Aunt Zhou brought over, she rushed out.

With her period arriving unexpectedly, she was bound to stay in town for a few days, so she had to buy some daily necessities, such as a change of clothes, white cotton cloth to make menstrual pads, etc.

Walking on the street, she unexpectedly heard news about the fire at the Lü family.

Qingyun Town was a remote and secluded border town, sparsely populated, and the townspeople’s lives were as plain as water year after year, day by day. Even a small event could cause a big uproar in the town. The fire at the Lü’s house was definitely not a trivial matter!

"Oh my, the entire Lü Mansion was burnt clean, not even a single room left. I hear all the men and women who lived there had to spend last night outside!"

On the road, a gossiping man described the situation vividly, quickly attracting a crowd. Among them, there were those who knew the inside story and started disclosing some internal news.

"The Lü family is doomed now. Robbed once before the year, tricked by the Second Young Master after the year, and now they encounter this big fire, I’m afraid they won’t recover in their lifetime!"

"Ugh, if even the masters have been reduced to ashes, what’s the use of recovering? I heard that not only was the mansion completely burned down, but even the rice shop and casino were burned to the ground. Thank goodness there is one restaurant left, otherwise, Madam Lü would probably be homeless..."

"It must’ve been done by an enemy. Young Master Lü has opened casinos, issued loan shark money these years; many people were ruined by him. This is retribution..."

Indeed, Lady Yu has been repaid - punished by Cai Wei!

She had no one else to blame but herself. She was too arrogant and aggressive. For trivial things, she escalated the situation, madly sent people to kill Cai Wei. If Cai Wei were not competent, she would’ve probably turned into a pile of white bones by now.

Therefore, leaving a restaurant for her to survive, Cai Wei had already shown her mercy!
