Chapter 716: Chapter 716: Warm Home (2)_1

Cai Wei had earnestly wished to heal her grandmother’s eyes, to let her once again experience the beauty of life. They would show filial piety to her and give her a blissful old age. However, this simple wish, in the end, came to nothing...

She knelt down, giving her respects to the tombstone by bowing her head several times, and whispered, "Grandmother, I am back. I am sorry, I returned too late. They cruelly took your life. But rest assured, I will not spare any of the people who hurt you. Someday, I will bring them before your grave to pay for their actions..."

Cai Wei knelt in front of the tomb for an hour. Mu Zhongqing and Huo Yuan stood quietly behind her without rushing her or dissuading her. They quietly accompanied her until she stood up when they hurried forward to lend her a hand, fearing that she might have numbed her legs from kneeling for so long.

"Grandmother, I will be going back first. I will come to accompany you when I have time. The promise I made to you, I will definitely fulfill. Please wait in peace!" She murmured, casting one last look at the undisturbed tombstone before turning around to leave...

On their return to the city, Mu Zhongqing claimed to have some matters to attend to at the restaurant. Therefore, he entrusted Cai Wei to Huo Yuan, asking him to take her back to Mount Bishui.

Huo Yuan was more than willing to comply. Cai Wei, being a perceptive woman, grasped her father’s intentions. However, she did not refuse as she had matters to discuss with Huo Yuan as well. Bidding her father goodbye, she then boarded Huo Yuan’s carriage.

As soon as Huo Yuan got into the carriage, Cai Wei looked at him directly and sincerely said, "Big Brother Huo, I really appreciate your help this time. Without your support, who knows how much worse our situation at home could have become!"

Without mentioning the rest, at least her father Mu Zhongqing’s prison crisis was inevitable. There was the terrifying ordeal at the public hall, the various tortures in the large prison- all of it. Her father was a refined scholar, how could he endure such torture!

Then there was her grandmother. If he had not discovered her death in time, she might have already been placed in a thin coffin and carelessly buried in Chaos Grave Hill. Who knows where their family would have been scattered to by now- her mother is pregnant, Wen’er is still injured, Wu’er is still young, and Fei’er is a delicate maiden...

Without his care for this entire family, how fearful they would have been right now!

Huo Yuan laughed and said, "You’re being too polite, sister. These things were just a small effort on my part. Why should you worry about it?"

Cai Wei spoke solemnly, "While this matter may seem trivial to you, it is a matter of life and death for us. It’s of great significance. Therefore, our Mu family owes you a huge debt of gratitude. I, Mu Caiwei, own you a tremendous debt of gratitude. I will remember this kindness and if someday, Big Brother Huo needs anything from me, I will do my utmost to repay you for your generosity!"

Cai Wei’s promise was solemn, but Huo Yuan had no intention of cashing in. In his eyes, he would probably never ask anything from Cai Wei. For her, he only had one desire, but he had his own pride, and he would never bind her with indebtedness!

"Alright!"

He smiled faintly, accepting her promise, even though he did not think he would ever ask anything of her. But if he didn’t agree, she would not be at ease. In order to put her at ease, he had to agree!

Seeing his acceptance, Cai Wei finally cheered up. The solemnity on her porcelain-like little face receded, replaced by an astute expression.

Her space had been restored, with abundant spiritual energy inside. The hundred-year-old ginseng and the thousand-year-old ginseng were growing like white radishes all over the forest. Thus, she had to once again plan for the harvesting of the ginseng.
