Chapter 876: Chapter 878: Clinging to Powerful Legs (2)

However, before the large army’s arrival, the Dun Zhu Sisters had already come knocking at the door.

After a night of deep reflection, the two sisters had decided to return to Lingbei. Despite the nightmarish memories it held for them, it was after all the place where they were born and raised, where their parents and loved ones resided. To them, Lingbei was their root, the place most worthy of their attachment!

Cai Wei was not at all surprised by their decision. She simply asked them to stay well inside Lady He’s Roast Duck and wait for her to return from the capital. After that, she would take them back to Lingbei.

In the Shen Mansion, Madam Cui now wielded sole authority. All the concubines in the home had been dispersed by Lord Shen County, and not only that, but Lord Shen himself was also extra cautious around her, fearing to displease her in any way.

Early in the morning, at the command of Madam Cui, the mansion’s cooks showed off their skills and carefully prepared a breakfast table full of dishes rich in color, aroma, and taste. After the breakfast was ready, Lord Shen dutifully followed his wife’s commands, staying In the mansion to await the arrival of His Highness King Qin.

Soon enough, King Qin did indeed arrive uninvited. When the gatekeeper came to report, he did so with a trembling air. Although Nangong Yi was in incognito and had not given his real name, his powerful aura and innate nobility still pressured the guards and gatekeepers at the Entrance, who went Inside with trepidation to announce the arrival.

When Lord Shen heard of King Qin’s presence, he hurriedly welcomed him personally outside the door and invited King Qin into the Flower Hall of the mansion, where he respectfully performed the rites between a monarch and his subject.

Nangong Yi, however, had no interest in paying attention to him. From the moment he entered the Flower Hall, his enchanting pupils became fixed on Cai Wei, and he could no longer look away.

Having not seen her for a single night, he thought he would die missing his Little Girl. When they hadn’t shared a bed before, he missed her too, but it was something he could restrain. But ever since they had started sleeping together recently, he had become accustomed to their intimate nights of closeness and clinging, and the sudden solitude of the previous night left him feeling hollow and utterly lonely. He tossed and turned all night, and upon rising early, reprimanded Zhao Yang before telling his generals, then rode into the Capital in a hurry, eager to see the Little Girl he had thought about all night.

The moment he saw Cai Wei, his hollow heart was instantly filled, as if it had been stuffed full. The lonely and forlorn feelings he had experienced disappeared in an instant. He looked at Cai Wei and silently smiled, seemingly contented just to see her.

Cai Wei paused for a moment, then glared at him, signaling that Lord Shen was still expecting them to adhere to formalities.

Only then did Nangong Yi remember Lord Shen County kneeling on the ground, realizing he had momentarily lost himself in his emotions and neglected the proprieties. He hurriedly helped Lord Shen to his feet and, with a beaming smile, walked over to the table and invited everyone to sit down.

Lord Shen County was very adept at reading situations. Seeing that King Qin had a Bright and Radiant Future, he took the opportunity to cultivate a relationship with him, even having his wife and Daughter join them at the table. Madam Cui was a Magnanimous and open-minded woman; despite being at the same table with a Prince, she showed no restraint. Juhua, though initially a bit tense, felt less fearful knowing that this noble Prince was Cai Wei’s future Husband.

The meal was a merry affair for both hosts and guests. Afterward, Nangong Yi, along with Cai Wei, bid their farewells. By this time, the large army had already reached Qing County, and it was time to continue southward. As the commander of the Three Armies, Nangong Yi had to preside over the military and could not be away for long. The Family did not dare to detain them, earnestly seeing off the two distinguished guests, Separating with reluctance.

Once back Inside the carriage, Nangong Yi couldn’t wait to take Cai Wei onto his lap, burying his face in her neck nest, remaining silent for a long while before he whispered softly, "Madam, let’s never live apart again."
