Chapter 923: Chapter 925: Embarrassing (5)

A black line formed on Cai Wei’s forehead as she imagined the awkward scene when Huo Yuan purchased those items. Annoyed, she slapped her forehead, hastily changed into her new attire, and packed her dirty skirt and soiled underpants into a bundle. She also wrapped up the dirty cushion and hurried out the door.

Outside the door, Huo Yuan was quietly waiting. When he saw Cai Wei, he offered a friendly smile, though it still contained a hint of awkwardness.

"Hmm, it fits quite well!"

In an effort to ease the awkward atmosphere between them, Huo Yuan casually made a comment.

At that moment, Cai Wei felt so awkward she wanted to cover her face and run away. She was not in the mood for small talk with him and hurriedly excused herself before making her escape.

Seeing Cai Wei scamper away like a little mouse, Huo Yuan’s slightly troubled face suddenly brightened with a smile. He had seen her playful side, her sternness, her shrewdness, and her cunning, but he had never seen her this embarrassed. Her expressions and movements, both funny and adorable, resembled a little mouse desperately chased by a cat. If it weren’t for her evident distress, he would have been reluctant to let her go without teasing her a little more, for it would have been so entertaining!

Cai Wei took the King Qin’s Mansion’s horse carriage and rushed back to King Qin’s Mansion. Her menstruation had suddenly started, severing her ability to contact her Space. The plan to throw the Great Jin Nation’s main house family out tonight had to be temporarily shelved, just as her visit to Nangong Yi’s camp was now impossible for the moment. For the next few days, she could only obediently stay in the Capital without the support of her Space, leaving many of her plans unrealized.

Inside an old mansion in the Capital

Mu Chongfu sat by the table, vigorously devouring a roasted chicken while berating Cai Wei for her ungratefulness to the family gathered around the dining table.

"If you ask me, the Second house family never left the Capital, probably lying low somewhere enjoying the good life. It must be the little bitch Mu Caiwei worrying about us benefiting from their good fortune, so she tucked us away in this godforsaken place, out of sight and out of mind, while she hides away indulging in luxuries," he ranted.

After sipping some wine, Mu Liankui, putting down his cup, leisurely said, "What is there to hide from? The monk may run, but the temple won’t run with him."

"These days, we’ll pretend to be her furniture. Once the money from selling the furniture runs out, we’ll sell her house. I refuse to believe she can hide forever! I don’t believe they’ll never emerge again!"

He put the wine cup down, the wine flushing his face brightly, exuding a vigorous demeanor, sharply contrasting with the figure that had desperately come to the Capital just days before. Gone were the ragged clothes, replaced with brand new silk garments, even the sparse white hairs pinned up with a gold hairpin, mimicking the style of Landlord masters.

The whole main house family had transformed, decked in silk garments they’d never worn their entire lives, and these past few days they’ve been feasting lavishly on big fish and meat, nearly burning through the silver from selling all the mansion’s furniture.

However, Mu Family’s two oldies felt no shame. They believed it was only right that sons provide for their parents, a natural duty. If the Second Brother’s family didn’t show up in a few days, he considered selling the house.

Mu Zhongli, picking up a chopstick-load of fish meat, put it in his mouth and said while eating, "Dad, the house deed isn’t in our hands; selling the house isn’t feasible. However, if they remain hidden, we could consider renting out this big mansion. With such an ample house, fetching five to eight taels of silver a month should be no issue."

"Exactly, that’s settled then. We’ll wait another three to five days. If they still hide and refuse to see grandma and grandpa, we’ll rent the house out! Then head into the Capital to look for them," Mu Chongcai supported his father’s decision. //

The family, after settling their plans, joyously resumed their feast...
