Chapter 712: Chapter 712: Return to the Capital (7)_1

"Hmm!"

Cai Fei nodded emphatically, adding, "When we bring grandmother out in the future, she will surely be delighted too!"

The smile on Mu Zhongqing’s face froze!

He had not told anyone in the family about the death of Lady Mei.

Lady Mei was pregnant for less than three months now. A few days ago, blaming her, the Duke An’s Mansion had nearly led to her miscarriage. He couldn’t risk to make her upset and distraught again. If Fei’er found out about Lady Mei’s death, she, being a child, couldn’t keep secrets. Therefore, he couldn’t let anyone know about this and he had to bear it alone!

Tomorrow, the old lady will be laid to rest. Even though Young Master Huo has arranged everything, only he would head the burial for the old lady in the family. He wondered if the old lady would feel abandoned in the underworld. Sigh!

"Dad, I am talking to you. Why have you been so preoccupied these days?"

Cai Wei swung her soft, white little hand under Mu Zhongqing’s eyelids and looked at him inquisitively.

Mu Zhongqing coughed and diverted the topic, "I was thinking about Wen’er’s head. This child has been in constant pain due to his headaches. I’m scared that he may be left with some sequela!"

Ever since Wen’er woke up that day, he had been experiencing intermittent headaches. Court Judge Yao Yuanpan diagnosed it as a hematomas in the brain and said that it would get better once it dissipated. As he was a divine doctor renowned across Great Jin Nation, the Mu family completely trusted him. However, even so, seeing Wen’er suffering from this, the whole family was heartbroken!

Cai Wei was unaware of her father’s inner thoughts. Seeing the worried look on her father’s face, she softly comforted him, "Dad, don’t worry. Yao Yuanpan has said that Wen’er will be fine. Once the lump in the brain disappears, he will be relieved!"

"Hmm!"

Mu Zhongqing nodded and didn’t say anything.

Now, it wasn’t time for the Bafu Restaurant to close. However, since Mu Zhongqing heard about Du Yuheng’s attempt to trick Cai Fei into his carriage, he has been coming to pick up Cai Fei everyday from Fa’s Manor before closing time. After he sent Cai Fei back to Bishui Villa, he returned to Bafu Restaurant in his own carriage!

When they reached the Bishui Villa, Cai Fei got off the carriage. With a cheerful smile on her little face, she waved to her father in the carriage.

"Dad, I’m going in first. You be careful on the road, and come back early in the evening!"

Mu Zhongqing smiled affectionately, knocked on the carriage wall, and upon hearing this, Zhang Bo promptly lifted the whip and drove the carriage away!

After watching her father leave, Cai Fei turned around. The errand-boy standing guard at the entrance of the villa saw that Cai Fei was back, he promptly stepped forward to open the door and invited her in with a bow.

Not far away, an inconspicuous horse carriage was parked under the willow tree outside the south wall of Bishui Villa. The lady in the carriage slowly let down the carriage curtain and leaned back on the chair. Her inquisitive eyes turned to an old palace maid beside her, seemingly full of plaintive mist.

"Nurse Peng, is it her?"

Nurse Peng forced a smile and barely responded, "Aunt Bi, you ask as if I would know. I haven’t really seen who that person is, so I don’t know if it’s her!"

Aunt Bi sneered coldly, wiping the teardrop that had slid down her cheek: "Who else could live in Bishui Villa, receive such attentive service from his errand-boy, and get him to spend a lot of money to hire the manager of the Embroidery Department in the palace to come and teach his wife embroidery? Could it be an ordinary person?"

Nurse Peng tugged at the corner of her mouth, comforting, "My lady, don’t worry. Men are always intrigued by the novelty. Now, the young master is fascinated by that maid and is showing preference for her, it’s normal. Once he’s over his obsession with her newness, he will not be so captivated!"
