Chapter 660: Chapter 660: Something Happened(4)_1

Du Yuheng saw that a servant had dared to question him, which displeased him greatly. However, to coax Cai Fei into the carriage, he patiently explained, "I heard that Uncle Su had an accident and wasn’t at the restaurant, so I hastily came to find you, Second Younger Sister. Is it that you suspect me, a mere servant?"

The servant laughed it off, "Young Master must be joking, I would not dare to do so! I’m merely thinking that it would be better if we inform our mistress about this, and let her handle the situation. Even though Second Miss is the oldest sister, she’s still young. It’s more appropriate for an adult to handle such matters."

Mo Liancheng stood straight, even though he referred to himself as a ’humble one’, his demeanor did not falter in comparison to the Young Master in the carriage. He even looked more prepared!

Zhao Yun also whispered, "Second Miss, our shop has been sealed off, leaving the shopkeeper, Waiters and Embroider scattered around. Du didn’t have a glance at this situation and rushed to deliver this news. Don’t you find this situation a bit suspicious?"

Listening to Zhao Yun, Cai Fei also felt that something was wrong.

Logically, she should have been standing outside with the shopkeeper and other shop staff, while the shop was sealed off. Even if Du was in a hurry, he should have asked a few questions. However, without sparing a glance, he mentioned this matter, which was against common sense.

Moreover, she had only met this cousin of the main house a few times, able to count the instances on one hand. However, ever since her return from the manor, she bumped into him every night in the garden. Every time they met, he watched her like a wolf eying its prey, which made her goosebumps erupt...

He was the type that not harming her could be considered a great fortune. So why would he take the trouble to deliver this news to her?

Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but feel a chill run down her spine. She took two wary steps back, refusing to move a step towards the carriage.

Du Yuheng, who was already irritated with Mo Liancheng’s questions, was further infuriated when he saw Cai Fei growing wary of him. He pointed at Mo Liancheng and yelled, "You dog slave, who do you think you are, meddling in the affairs of the Duke An’s mansion. Are you itching for a beating?"

After scolding him, Du Yuheng turned to Cai Fei with a smiling face, "Second Younger Sister, let’s hurry up. Your Brother Wen is waiting for you!"

Cai Fei shook her head firmly, saying, "Thank you for your trouble, cousin. However, as they say, boys and girls should not sit together after the age of seven, let alone ride together. Please go about your own affairs, I will return home on my own!"

Du Yuheng was unwilling to take no for an answer. He could see that Cai Fei had taken the bait but the two servants managed to dissuade her in just a few words. He continued to persuade her, "Sister, what are you saying? We are cousins, it’s only reasonable that I came to inform you. However, if you want to avoid gossip, how about if I step down from the carriage. You and this girl can use my carriage!"

Zhao Yun softly coughed, whispering in a voice only the two of them could hear, "The coachman and the carriage boy are his. If he has any ill intentions, it would be too late for you to cry!"

Hearing Zhao Yun’s warning, Cai Fei immediately made up her mind. "No need, it’s easy to rent a carriage around here." Not waiting for Du Yuheng to respond, she turned to Mo Liancheng, saying, "Shopkeeper Mo, help me rent a carriage!"

"Yes, Second Miss, please wait a moment. I will be right back."

With that, Mo Liancheng turned and left.

Du Yuheng forcefully gritted his teeth, sitting there in the carriage, seething in anger. His personal servant Yi’er whispered, "Master, should we...should we forcibly take her with us?"

The dog slaves were always encouraging their master to commit wrongs because the young ladies who were discarded by their master afterwards were often given to them. Thus, regarding their master’s womanizing affairs, they would often be more eager than the master himself!

Du Yuheng, who was already impatient, cast a hateful look outside and said, "There’s no need to rush. If she runs this time, she won’t be able to run next time. She will be mine sooner or later!"

Du Yuheng was not a fool. At that moment, the crowded street had many eyes. If he were to forcibly drag Cai Fei into the carriage, he would certainly provoke public outrage. Not to mention if some gossiping persons were to tell his father, his father would certainly punish him severely. He had no choice but to wait for the next time...

Since he was worried about Cai Fei, Mo Liancheng quickly returned with a hired carriage. After Cai Fei and Zhao Yun got in, Mo Liancheng followed behind the carriage out of his concern for Cai Fei, all the way to the State Duke’s Mansion.

The carriage swiftly traveled, arriving at the main entrance of the Duke An’s mansion in no time. But before they could get off, they heard gut-wrenching cries, "Wen’er, wake up, don’t scare your mother..."

Hearing this, Cai Fei quickly lifted the curtain of the carriage, and jumped out in a hurry.

At this time, Lady Du was sitting on the ground, holding Wen’er in her arms and crying her heart out. Wen’er was lying still in her arms, peaceful as if he was asleep, like a baby. Female Doctor Dou was kneeling on the ground, comforting Lady Du while also trying to console Wu’er, who was crying beside them, "Madam, please don’t cry. I have already reassured you that Young Master Wen will be fine. He will wake up soon. But you, if you keep sobbing like this, what if you harm your pregnancy?"

Huan Qiu, with a stern face, was kneeling on the ground, silently picking up the luggage discarded from the Duke’s Mansion. However, all the good items had been kept by the others of the mansion as compensation, and only the old and unwanted items that they didn’t desire had been discarded!
