Chapter 826: Chapter 827 Abolishing the Daughter’s Rites (2)

Nangong Yi laughed happily without exposing her, personally went outside to the warm water kettle, and poured her a cup of hot, steaming flower tea.

Cai Wei leaned on the couch that still carried the faint scent of Dragon Saliva perfume, common on men, which was faint but pleasant. The moment she smelled this familiar scent, her heart settled a great deal, as if nothing else was that important anymore!

"Here it is, be careful, it’s hot!"

Nangong Yi, holding the flower tea, came over and sat on the edge of the couch. He brought the steaming cup of flower tea to her lips but did not let her hold the cup, instead, he held it as he fed her.

Cai Wei was indeed thirsty. Tonight, she had ridden back and forth on the white-haired Tiger for half the night and had spent a long time discussing with Tuoba Kui, her throat had long since dried out. Therefore, the cup of water Nangong Yi poured quickly disappeared into her stomach.

After drinking, Cai Wei licked the droplets of water on her lips and said, "Tuoba Kui has decided to surrender."

Nangong Yi was putting the cup on the desk when he suddenly heard her say this and for a time, he didn’t quite understand.

"What did you say?"

"I mean, Tuoba Kui has decided to surrender. You just need to send someone to negotiate the terms of surrender with him, and sign the letter of submission!"

Nangong Yi finally realized what she was talking about, and walked to the front of the couch in a few steps, staring into Cai Wei’s eyes, he asked in astonishment, "How do you know that Tuoba Kui wants to surrender?"

"Because I was the one who facilitated this!" Cai Wei said calmly.

At this point, there was no need to hide it from him, and even if she wanted to, she couldn’t. Hence, she detailed her entire encounter with Tuoba Kui and also disclosed her plan to open a glass factory in Lingbei.

Upon hearing Cai Wei’s account, Nangong Yi was shocked for a long time, unable to regain his train of thought.

He had long known that Cai Wei was the successor from Fu You Island and knew that she was capable of doing things ordinary people couldn’t, but he had never imagined she could be so powerful that she could casually decide on major affairs of international relations, even smoothly decapitating the head of a nation’s leader during a casual conversation!

After a long while, he finally asked in a muffled voice, "Wei’er, what is this ’glass’ you speak of?"

With a raise of her hand, Cai Wei suddenly produced a rectangular piece of transparent material, thin and smooth.

"This, it can replace paper in windows, being extremely transparent, insulating, and also able to withstand wind and rain. As long as it is not broken, it can be passed down forever!"

Nangong Yi took the piece of glass from Cai Wei’s hand, looked it over and over, and was so shocked he could hardly believe his eyes that this exquisitely perfect item... was invented by his own wife!

"Are you saying that using just two types of ore from the plains, we can produce this... glass?"

"Exactly!"

Cai Wei responded, "I plan to set up a glass factory in the Meng slaves’ territory and mass produce glass products, starting with the simplest windows and then moving to daily use items and handicrafts. Either we employ the People of the Meng Slaves or I buy back the finished products at a high price. This way, the people of Meng slaves can have better lives, and with better lives, they will naturally settle down and happily make money for our Great Jin Nation."

Hearing the last part, Nangong Yi laughed and said, "You money-grubber, you really can’t stop thinking about making money, can you?"

"Of course, who doesn’t want more money?" Cai Wei said candidly.

"However, aside from making money, I still want to do a few good deeds for the benefit of the people!"
