Chapter 817: Chapter 818: Nangong Yu and Luo Xue (1)

During the meal, Cai Wei inquired about the current situation of the Virtuous Consort with Huo Yuan and received a response that the Virtuous Consort and King Jing were already on guard, so the schemes of Jin Guifei would not succeed.

Although Cai Wei did not know what sort of capability the Huo Family had, which could prevent the powerful Jin Guifei from making a move, Huo Yuan spoke with such composure and certainty that it was clear he had full confidence. While she was very curious about how the Huo Family would deal with Jin Guifei, her relationship with Huo Yuan was merely that of ordinary friends; thus, it was not proper to ask too much, so she had to let it go.

This meal lasted for nearly an hour, and after it was over, Huo Yuan had no reason to stay any longer and was obliged to rise and bid her farewell.

On the way down the stairs, Mu Zhongqing chatted with him cheerfully for a while, and only with evident reluctance did he see him off. In his heart, Huo Yuan was already the prime candidate for his son-in-law.

Cai Wei had no time to consider her father’s desire to become a father-in-law; as soon as Huo Yuan left, she called Zhang Bo to take her back to the manor to continue her experiments with burning glass!

The experiments that afternoon were still unsuccessful, but they had improved a lot compared to before. If the progress continued at this pace, she might succeed when seeing Tuoba Kui in a few days. Nonetheless, she had to try her best!

At dinner time, Cai Wei told her family that she had come back specifically to celebrate Fei’er’s birthday, and that the task entrusted to her by her master was not yet finished; hence, she would have to leave home again for a while.

Lady Du and Mu Zhongqing were aware of their daughter’s talents and that the family’s good days were entirely reliant on her; thus, they never overly obstructed her decisions. They simply cautioned her to be very careful and inquired about when she would return.

Cai Wei set her own return to be in twenty days. She estimated that, after the Meng slaves surrendered, winning over the hearts of the people would take some time. She would also need to pass on the techniques of burning glass to them and establish regulations and systems for the glass processing factory to ensure it was on the right track, all of which would take at least two to three months. During these months, she had to keep an eye on the operations there. Furthermore, in just over twenty days, the time set by Jin Guifei for her to assassinate Nangong Yi would arrive, so she had to come back then to deal with this trouble before heading back to Northern Ridge!

Wen’er and Wu’er knew that Cai Wei would be leaving again. Their eyes, like black grapes, were brimming with tears, showing a reluctant and forlorn expression, like little dogs abandoned by their master, pitifully small. Cai Wei rubbed their heads and softly said, "Be good at home and obey. When sister comes back, I will bring you gifts!"

"Mmh, Older Sister, come back soon."

"Please, be safe!"

Listening to the little kids instruct her like adults, Cai Wei’s heart instantly melted into a puddle, nearly abandoning her intention to leave for Northern Ridge. Fortunately, after a few hours, the turbulence in her heart finally calmed down, and once more, she left home riding the white-haired tiger.

Nangong Yi was fighting on the front line, and she could not stay here in peace. Although she could not accompany him to the front, at the very least, she could stand in the place closest to him, to always hear news about him. If any unforeseen disaster occurred, she would be able to reach his side at the first moment possible and face it together with him, hand in hand.

When she rushed back to the Northern Ridge Military Camp, dawn was already breaking. Cai Wei took the white-haired tiger back into the space, released a horse, and rode back to her own tent.

The soldiers guarding the big tent greeted Cai Wei with delight, saying, "Royal Consort, you’ve finally returned! Last night, news came from Kash that King Qin won another victorious battle there. He also sent a letter for you, along with many high-quality leathers, all of which have been brought to your tent by your subordinates!"
