Chapter 888: Chapter 890: Entering King Qin’s Mansion (5)

Nangong Yi laughed and said, "Hurry back and check on your dad and mom; they must be terribly worried by now. Stop nagging like an old granny."

He sidestepped Cai Wei’s request, not agreeing to it directly because he knew that even if such a thing happened again, even ten times over, he would still do the same thing. Otherwise, if Cai Wei really were killed before his eyes, he didn’t know how he could go on living—or if he would want to live at all.

Upon hearing the man mention her family, Cai Wei let go of the subject and hastened back to the backyard, her skirts in hand. After a few steps, she turned back, went into the Zhang family women’s room to comfort them until everyone’s mood had stabilized, and only then did she proceed to visit her dad and mom in the backyard.

Brother Ying was still holding his ground in the backyard, boredly pecking at his wings. The assassins, confident in their numbers, did not take Cai Wei and Nangong Yi seriously and entered through the main door. They intended to conduct a thorough massacre of the estate, leaving no one alive. Little did they expect that they wouldn’t even make it past the first rooms and ended up utterly defeated by these two people and two beasts, leaving them utterly humiliated.

"Ga—Master—"

Cai Wei patted its bird head and took it back into Space, then hurried into the house to look for her dad and mom.

Nangong Yi remained in the first courtyard. He took out a white jade bottle from his body, opened it, and poured out some medicine powder, sprinkling it on the corpses in the courtyard. Soon enough, the bodies slowly dissolved into liquid, clothes and all...

Cai Wei helped her dad and mom and both of her younger brothers out from under the debris. The whole family was scared out of their wits, only Mu Zhongqing was toughing it out, incessantly comforting his wife and sons.

Lady Du, wiping away tears, said, "This was truly frightening, how dare they be so brazen, to come to our door in broad daylight and kill..."

Mu Zhongqing, concerned, asked, "Is Zhang Biaotou’s family alright? Did anyone in the manor get hurt?"

Cai Wei, holding her mother’s hand, shook her head and said, "Thankfully, Nangong Yi noticed them early on, and we took precautions in time. No one in the manor was harmed, and we managed to fend off those assassins. They won’t be back for a while. Let’s head to King Qin’s mansion now; once we’re there, we’ll be safe."

"Older sister, do we have to hide from those bad guys forever?" Wen’er asked, raising her little face and looking intently at Cai Wei.

Cai Wei, with a heart full of pity, patted his head and said, "No, your sister will find a way to deal with Concubine Jin as soon as possible, so you and Wu’er won’t have to live in fear of others forever."

"I’ll handle this matter!"

Nangong Yi entered with his hands behind his back, having just washed his hands and face in the courtyard’s water jar, wiping away the bloodstains on his body. He now walked in with a smile like a gentle breeze, still the epitome of a dashing young master.

"You’ll handle it?"

Cai Wei said, "You came back stealthily; it’s better if you don’t show your face. Leave it to me. I will make sure she gets the punishment she deserves!"

Nangong Yi laughed and said, "Who said I was going to show my face? I can take care of her without exposing myself."

Mu Zhongqing and Lady Du stood to one side, dumbstruck, listening to their daughter and King Qin discussing who should ’take care of Concubine Jin.’ It all felt like a dream to them. Their daughter, who a year ago was timid and would not dare to look up or speak in front of the main family, was now discussing with His Highness King Qin how to handle Concubine Jin, as if it were such an easy thing to do. Was this still their daughter?

Cai Wei said, "I know you despise her deeply. If you want to deal with her yourself, I won’t stop you, but on the condition that you ensure you’re not implicated in any way. Otherwise, I’ll take over."
