Chapter 776: Chapter 777: The Matchmaker Comes to the Door (6)_1

"Absolutely true, sir. Would you like me to arrange it now? I can assure that your wishes will be fulfilled tonight."

Of course, Nangong Jin wanted everything settled tonight, but he had just proposed marriage and was rejected today. If he acted tonight, it would easily arouse suspicion. If Huo Yuan demanded the person or held a grudge against him from then on, it wouldn’t be fun.

Therefore, he suppressed his burning desire and said with reluctance and helplessness, "Not yet, let’s wait for a few days to let things cool down..."

Cai Fei, not knowing that she had been schemed against, was still in the cloth Manor diligently learning craftsmanship from Nanny Xiu. In the blink of an eye, it was closing time. Cai Fei smiled and said, "Every day, I feel like I’ve hardly learned anything before it gets dark. At this rate, when will I be able to master all of your superb skills, Nanny?"

Nanny Xi said, "Only when you seriously do something, you will not notice the passage of time. Miss, you’re doing very well and making rapid progress. It may take some time to acquire all my skills, but given your seriousness, it’s just a matter of time. There’s no need to rush."

Through several days of interaction, Nanny Xi grew fonder of her female disciple Cai Fei. Cai Fei was not only good-natured and diligent, but also extremely respectful and admiring of her, which made Nanny Xi fond of this girl as well.

Huan Qiu said, "Old Master is already waiting outside. Miss, you should hurry."

Nanny Xi also said, "Don’t keep the old man waiting for you, go quickly." Upon hearing this, Cai Fei bowed to Nanny Xi and then left.

Huan Qiu helped Fei’er onto the horse carriage. Zhang Bo whipped the horse and drove the carriage towards the suburban Manor.

By this time, the sun had set, and the glow of the evening sun was cast upon the carriage, giving it a layer of soft light.

As soon as Cai Wei got on the carriage, she kept chattering to her father about things in the cloth manor, mainly talking about the stitching techniques she learned today, what she embroidered, and how Nanny Xi praised her, and so on...

Mu Zhongqing rarely spoke, just smiled lovingly at her, occasionally making a comment or two. However, whenever she wasn’t looking at him, his eyes showed a hint of unease and heartache.

Fei’er was only eleven years old, and she had already caught someone’s attention. The person was the world’s son of the King of Guangling. Although he had categorically rejected the marriage proposal, he did not know whether the world’s son would stop there. If he refused to give up, as a commoner, how could he contend with the Guangling King’s Mansion? What should he do with Fei’er?

While he was lost in thought, suddenly there came a sound of mourning from outside. It was obvious that someone of a noble family had passed away.

Zhang Bo, driving the horse outside, just happened to meet the funeral party. He quickly pulled over and waited for the large procession to pass.

The carriage stopped by the road, mingling with a group of passers-by and onlookers. The chatter of the common people occasionally reached into the carriage.

"Wow, how could Duke An’s eldest grandson’s family be bitten to death by snakes? That’s really strange!"

"You probably don’t know this, I heard that it was an old concubine who died in their mansion a few days ago causing trouble. I heard that the old concubine was bullied a lot by them, her eyes were blinded by them, and her body was beaten severely, leaving no good spot. They brutally tortured her to death. So, after her death, the old woman, out of resentment, turned into countless poisonous snakes and returned to Duke Hui’an’s Mansion for revenge....."

"That’s nonsense! If the old concubine came back for revenge, she should have gone after the ones who wronged her. Why would she target the eldest grandson’s family?"
