Chapter 728: Chapter 728: Meeting on a Narrow Path (7)_1

The guard saluted, about to reply "yes," but Du Wanru interjected: "No need to investigate!"

Afterwards, she moved forward, gave a slight bend to Jin Dapeng, and said, "In response to Marquis’ question, the ones who just humiliated us on the street were from the Mu family. Emboldened by having a Princess An Le of their own and the protection of Young Master Huo Yuan, they bully the weak, blatantly humiliating us on the street!"

"Princess An Le?"

Jin Dapeng stroked his chin, contemplating the rumours about Princess An Le’s unsurpassed beauty that brought down both the kingdom and the city. He couldn’t help but feel a glimmer of longing. Unfortunately, he hadn’t had the chance to encounter such a beauty and she’d been devoured by a tiger.

Seeing Jin Dapeng’s interest in Du Wanqiu, Du Wanru seized the opportunity and said: "Our sisters were insulted for no reason, please, Marquis, stand up for us!"

After speaking, she covertly nudged Du Wanyue with her elbow. Du Wanyue then also knelt down, "Please, Marquis. Stand up for us sisters. The State Duke’s Mansion will be eternally grateful!"

Unexpectedly, the two sought Jin Dapeng’s assistance without consulting her. His intentions toward her were quite transparent. Du Wanqiu didn’t want to owe Jin Dapeng any favours, and didn’t want to have any involvement with him. In haste, she said, "That won’t be necessary. Our family will handle our own matters. There’s no need to trouble Marquis. And besides, it isn’t necessary for Marquis to fall out with Young Master Huo on our behalf!"

Her initial intention was not to involve Jin Dapeng in her affairs, as she would rather face public humiliation from the Mu family than have anything to do with Jin Dapeng!

However, Jin Dapeng interpreted her words differently, thinking that the young beauty was thoughtful, not wanting any trouble, not wanting to anger people on her behalf. Thus, he patted his chest and loudly proclaimed, "I will indeed handle this. What’s offending Huo Yuan to me? Who’s damn Huo Yuan, nothing but a dishonest merchant! You might think he is a figure to be feared, but in my eyes, he’s not even worthy of tying my shoes!"

Delighted by his reaction, Du Wanru said, "Thank you, Marquis, for standing up for us. We’ll remember your chivalry and report it accurately to our grandfather once we return home! However, we are uncertain as to how Marquis intends to deal with the evil men who committed violence on the street?"

Jin Dapeng gave Du Wanqiu a glance, waved his hand with the air of a bandit, "Arrest them, to the dungeon with them!"

color drained from Du Wanqiu’s face, her body stiffened with tension, she suddenly felt inescapably trapped...

"Caw——"

A green parrot flew from the clamoring crowd and landed on a horse carriage heading towards the southern suburbs. Cai Wei cut off her thoughts, and let out a cold chuckle.

Another idiot asking for death!

She’d never intended to harm anyone, but if anyone dared to provoke her, especially those who threatened her family, she had absolutely no qualms about unleashing a bloodbath!

The capital was about twenty miles from the manor. It took about an hour to get there.

The last time she left the manor, it was overgrown with weeds, desolate. Now, just a month later, it was lush with green sprouts, signs of life everywhere.

Cai Wei sat in the carriage, lifted the curtain, stuck her head out of the window, and saw the refreshing spring landscape outside, which lightened her mood.

Zhang Biaotou did a good job managing the manor. The land had been sowed, and the seedlings have sprouted, growing quite well. If nothing unexpected happened, a great harvest was expected from the manor this year.

In the meadow in front of the manor, hundreds of cattle and sheep were grazing. When they were thirsty, they went to drink the water from the river.

The clear blue sky, the lush green grasslands, herds of cattle and sheep, the bustling ducks and geese in the river, all formed a captivating picture!

As the carriage arrived at the manor, Cai Wei got out and walked in. Zhang Biaotou’s wife was hanging clothes in the courtyard. Upon seeing Cai Wei, she joyfully exclaimed, "Miss, you’re back!"

Back then, when everyone believed Cai Wei had been eaten by a tiger, the entire Zhang family was in mourning. The whole family donned mourning attire for Cai Wei. Old Lady Zhang was sick from grief, shedding tears day and night.

Later, when Mu Zhongqing received news that Cai Wei was alive, he relayed the info to the Zhang family. Hence, the Zhang family, seeing Cai Wei return, could only feel surprise and joy, with no fear.
