Chapter 844: Chapter 846: Striking It Rich (4)

The people were still far away, unable to approach rapidly, when Fei’er suddenly burst forth. With a fierce push, she toppled the maid holding onto her over onto another maid who was carrying lanterns. Seizing the chance as both maids fell to the ground, she sprinted forward and ran wildly...

"Ouch, she’s running, hurry, catch her, don’t let her get away..."

"You guys go block that side, you guys come with me, quickly, where’s the rope..."

These words entered Fei’er’s ears without missing a single one, and she ran very fast, soon reaching the arch bridge by the lake. The people tasked with intercepting her were holding ropes and had gone onto the bridge from the opposite side, while those chasing her were rolling up their sleeves and blocking her way from behind.

A wave of desolation surged in Fei’er’s heart. The faces of Dad, Mom, older sister, and younger brother vividly flashed before her eyes. She wiped the tears from her eyes, looked towards her home, and murmured, "Dad, Mom, Older Sister, Wen’er and Wu’er, I’m sorry, I’m going ahead, take care!"

Having said that, she leaned on the railing and leaped into the dark lake waters.

"Splash—" A sound rang out, stirring a huge splash on the lake. The people on the bridge, in a panic, began shouting, "Oh no, someone fell into the lake, hurry, save them..."

Fei’er couldn’t swim. She floundered a few times on the surface of the lake and then gradually began to sink. The moment before she lost consciousness, it wasn’t the faces of her dad, mom, or siblings that appeared in her mind, but rather the countenance of a strikingly handsome man, carrying an innate aloofness and indifference...

Early in the morning, just as Cai Wei was deeply asleep, she suddenly felt an itchy sensation on her chest, as if an insect was crawling on her. With her eyes still closed, she slapped it with a ’pop’, and to her surprise, her hand landed on something quite resilient.

"Hmm... what is it?"

She opened her sleepy eyes, only to see a gloomy and handsome face sporting five bright red finger marks.

Cai Wei immediately woke up, sat up, looked at the embarrassed man, and said angrily, "Nangong Yi, what are you doing?"

Nangong Yi coughed once, spoke leisurely, "You were growing too slowly, I was just kindly helping you!"

Grabbing his offending soft flesh in one swift move, Cai Wei retorted, "Cut out your phony excuses. If you really wanted to help, why sneak around and act so sneakily, unable to be straightforward? Hmph, think I don’t know your obscene thoughts!"

"Obscene? Woman, you dare call me obscene?"

Nangong Yi’s face darkened as he clutched the rampaging little hand at his waist and gritted his teeth, "Woman, do you know what the Three Obediences and Four Virtues are? Today, I shall teach you a lesson and restore the authority I lost as your husband!"

With that, he moved his hand forward, fixated Cai Wei on his legs, and raised his palm, slapping that round little butt ’clap clap clap’ several times. Although it didn’t hurt, being spanked as an adult was quite embarrassing indeed.

Cai Wei thrashed about seeking revenge, but unfortunately, her little strength was no match for the man. Ultimately, he flipped her over, hands roaming from top to bottom, not leaving a single spot untouched...

Three days from now, the man was to return to court. The Meng slaves, as part of the war indemnity, had yet to finish the 5,000 pieces of glass they owed to the Great Jin Nation. After having his fun, Nangong Yi pinched her chin affectionately, and said, "It’s still early, go back to sleep for a bit. I’ll check on the glass factory first and come back for breakfast later!"

Cai Wei couldn’t wait for him to leave; ever since she discovered the ’Dragon Bead’ at noon the day before, she had been eager to enter Space to check on it. However, that scoundrel kept insisting on a ’body check,’ leaving her exhausted, and she finally went into a deep sleep, only waking up in the evening. And that scoundrel, after she had fallen asleep, refreshed himself by supervising the work at the glass factory, only returning after she had woken up.
