Chapter 906: Chapter 908: The First Wife Enters the Capital (5)

Well, forget it, whether she’s bluffing or not, we’ll see tomorrow! Situ rubbed the center of his brow, and realized that his boss had already left while he was dazed... .

After a while, the glass she produced in Lingbei will be launched on the market, and that certainly will cause a frenzy among the populace, who will vie and bid up the prices, so, she must find a shop with a spacious frontage to avoid being crushed by the enthusiastic citizens.

The streets of the Capital were as bustling as ever, swarming with an influx of people, and shops of all sorts lined up one after another. Cai Wei walked down the main street, looking left and right in search, wandering around several of the busiest commercial streets for the better part of the day, yet she couldn’t find a suitable shop!

There were a few shops up for sale, but either their facades weren’t big enough or the locations were too remote, falling far short of what she had in mind. From morning till evening, she found no desirable shop and couldn’t help feeling somewhat disheartened.

As the sun was setting in the west, Cai Wei, tired from walking, was about to find a teahouse to have some tea when she inadvertently saw a group of people coming from the opposite side.

Leading them was an old man in his sixties or seventies, with a dried-up face all wrinkled, looking around like Granny Liu who had entered Da Guan Garden, and by his side was a sallow-faced old woman with a countryside woman’s hairstyle, dressed in tatters, being helped along by her daughter-in-law while being reprimanded.

"If you ask me, their family probably won’t be able to carry on with the same business. That oldest girl married a rich man, and their whole family will surely follow along to enjoy the finer things in life, why would they bother opening a shop and working hard?"

"Shut up, what do you know? Although that slut of a young lass married a rich man, she’s nothing but a toy to them. Why would they care to support her parents? Therefore, the second brother’s family has to stick to the old trade—selling grilled skewers. As long as we find the place selling grilled skewers, we can certainly find them!"

Mu Zhongli said, "Mother, Dad’s right. Let’s ask around now. Where in the Capital do they sell grilled skewers? If we find that place selling grilled skewers, we’re sure to find the second uncle."

Lady Li, worried, said, "Head of the family, do you think the second brother’s family will take us in? They wouldn’t turn us away, would they?"

"Dare he? This is right under the Emperor’s nose. If he dares to be unfilial, I will go to the Palace to make an Imperial appeal!"

Mu Liankui puffed his beard and glared, the thought of how Mu Caiwei had brought such misfortune upon his family made him wish he could immediately stand before his son and give that unfilial son a beating himself.

He had made up his mind, once he found them, he would no longer indulge the second brother’s family. He had to take on the air of the head of the family, and if the second brother’s family dared to defy him, he would go to the Palace to make an Imperial appeal, having the Emperor strip him of his scholarly honor, throw those sluts into prison, and beat them to death with batons!

"Right, your father’s right, the current Emperor governs the world with filial piety. If the second brother dares to forget his roots, we, the elderly couple, will go to the Palace to make an Imperial appeal, to ensure he gets the lesson he deserves, and also to throw that disrespectful daughter-in-law and that venomous snake of a daughter into jail!"

Lady Mu Bai said viciously, as if she wasn’t talking about her own grandchildren and daughter-in-law but enemies from eight lifetimes ago!

Cai Wei, wearing a hood, had not been noticed by the main house’s family, but she had indeed seen them and heard their words, and could not help but laugh at their shamelessness.

This family really was like cockroaches that couldn’t be stamped out, they had unexpectedly traveled from Qingyun Town thousands of miles away to the Capital, and moreover, they came with the intention of dealing with their family. How fortunate that she ran into them—if her father had encountered them, he might not be able to shake them off. After all, Mu Liankui and Lady Mu Bai were his biological parents, and deeply bound by feudal doctrines and etiquette; he had his own set of moral concepts. In an era where filial piety was used to measure one’s morality, there truly were not many who dared to drive their own parents out of their home. She didn’t believe her father had the courage to do so!

"Hey, stop talking, let’s go ask around quickly so we can find the second uncle sooner. We spent all our money yesterday, and if we don’t find the second uncle soon, we’ll starve!"

Mu Chongfu was anxious, he had lost a lot more weight than before, the giant child’s bottom-like face had turned into a long kidney-shaped face, and his fat was gone. He stooped, appearing unbearably hungry, with sneaky eyes searching all around.
