Chapter 908: Chapter 910 The Death of Jin Guifei (2)

"Indeed, my parents are not in the Capital, but you can go to our home first and wait for them to return," Cai Wei casually said.

Mu Liankui and Mu Zhongli nodded repeatedly upon hearing they could go to the house, "Good, good, good, let’s go to the house first, hehe, these days we’ve had nowhere to settle down, and haven’t even had a proper sleep, at last, we’re home..."

"Let’s go!"

Cai Wei put down her veil and turned to walk ahead, the wind-whipped veil concealed her delicate little face, as well as the mocking smile on that little face.

Not wanting to share a space with them, she chose not to hire a carriage but to walk instead. Winding through the streets, they didn’t reach the house she had secretly purchased until nightfall.

It was an old mansion with some years on it, large yet empty. Although it was a three-section large house, the crumbling walls and the heavily patinated furniture all betrayed the mansion’s dilapidation.

However, such a house seemed extraordinarily luxurious in the eyes of the big room family, in Mu Family Village, only the Clan Leader could afford a house built with green bricks, yet this old mansion was not just built with green bricks but also had three sections—simply grander than Landlord Zhou’s house in the neighboring village!

The big room family entered the mansion without restraint, searching around.

Mu Chongfu cared about food the most. When he discovered there wasn’t even a bit of food in the house, he said to Cai Wei with a somber face, "Big sister, how come there’s no food at home? Don’t you usually cook?"

Mu Chongcai was also very hungry and unusually submissive to Cai Wei, "Big sister, how come there’s nothing to eat at home? It doesn’t look like anyone lives here at all?"

Cai Wei leaned against the doorframe with her arms crossed and laughed lightly, "I’ve told you before, there’s no one at home; Dad and Mom went out, but you just didn’t believe me."

Mu Zhongqing, trying to keep a smile on his face, said, "Believe, of course, we believe. It’s just that there’s no rice, no firewood here, how are we supposed to cook? Hehe..."

Mu Liankui and Lady Mu Bai, upon hearing this, all echoed in response, "Sister Wei, don’t you usually live here? What do you usually eat?"

"Right, where did the second brother and his wife go? How can they feel at ease leaving you, a girl, alone at home?"

Cai Wei couldn’t be bothered to explain and just said, "I will go get you something to eat," before leaving in big strides.

Mu Chongfu, shamelessly, called out from behind, "Hey, big sister, bring back more, Grandpa and Grandma are hungry, best to bring back some meat and wine to nourish the Second Elder..."

Cai Wei pretended not to hear and left without looking back.

Not giving them arsenic to eat was merciful enough. And they were still thinking about meat and wine? Absolutely shameless!

By the time she returned to King Qin’s Mansion it was pitch-black. Entering through the second door, Xiao Zhi, who was waiting there, came forward, "Royal Consort, King Qin has returned and is waiting for you in the Flower Room!"

"Oh, then lead me there," Cai Wei said.

Nangong Yi was a filial son. Since Empress Mo loved flowers, he had specially built a Flower Room in King Qin’s Mansion and hired many gardeners to cultivate rare and precious flowers for the Empress. Every so often, he would send a fresh pot to the Jade Palace to please the Imperial Mother!

Xiao Zhi led Cai Wei through twists and turns in King Qin’s Mansion for about the time it takes to finish a cup of tea. They stopped in front of a wooden door draped in green vines. With no moon tonight, only stars speckled the sky, casting a sparser light in this part of the garden.

Before Cai Wei could take in her surroundings or figure out exactly where she was, she heard the squeak of the wooden door opening. Nangong Yi stood in the darkness, reached out to grab Cai Wei’s hand, and pulled her inside.
