Chapter 935: Chapter 937: King Qin Returns to the Capital (4)

"Alright!"

Nangong Yi agreed in one go, "I’ll give you that along with what I owe you from last time."

"Pop—"

Cai Wei laughed unreservedly, "Forget about it. Asking you for money, what could you possibly give me? Don’t think I’m not aware that you’re nothing but a fake tycoon, all show and no go. The bit of silver you get from your princely stipend is barely enough to feed your dead men, grease the wheels in court, and buy people’s hearts. Where would you find such an exorbitant amount of silver?"

"My lady, are you saying your husband is a hollow tiger of a fake rich man? Are you ridiculing your husband for being poor?"

With narrowed enchanting eyes and a slight hook of his thin lips, Nangong Yi wore a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, as if sharpening his knife with great relish.

This is bad, danger!

Seeing the man flash that expression, Cai Wei immediately shuddered, waving her hands and saying, "I wouldn’t dare, I wouldn’t dare. I was just finding the atmosphere a little dull and wanted to make a joke, how could I dare to ridicule you? Oh, right, may I ask, King Qin, how much silver are you planning to pay me?"

Seeing her flattering appearance, Nangong Yi felt much better. He ’slap’ hit the table, his spirit soaring, as if he could swallow mountains and rivers!

"Three shops on Mao’er Street, plus one King Qin himself, is that enough?"

"Cough cough, hahaha—"

Cai Wei burst into laughter again, that guy was even putting himself up to settle debts, truly becoming more shameless and limitless!

Watching Cai Wei laugh till she was shaking like a branch in the wind, Nangong Yi also teased with a chuckle, "Madam, what do you think of this deal?"

After Cai Wei had her laugh, she picked up the cup in front of her and took a sip of soymilk, still smiling as she said, "Forget about the three shops, your small household needs them to generate some interest for buying rice for the pot. I won’t ask for the money for grains and straws either, we’ll consider it my expenses for keeping a pretty boy."

Compared to a pretty boy, Nangong Yi felt a grinding of his teeth, and with a dark chuckle said, "That’s a good idea, I will make sure to fulfill, dutifully, all that a pretty boy should do!"

Cai Wei choked, a foreboding premonition rising within her. She quickly stood up and said, "I’m full now, you eat slowly, I’m going to take a look at the grain bunker and see if it’s convenient to exchange the grains...."

And with that, she darted off!

Watching her charming retreating figure, Nangong Yi smiled lightly and continued eating the noodles his wife had personally rolled for him. His lady’s culinary skills were impeccable, every meal was a surprise, making him eat well and be well-fed. Life was infinitely wonderful with her by his side!

Fei’er was sent back to the Mu Family’s manor by Mo Ziqi, arriving just around late midnight when the Mu family people were still asleep. Considering it inappropriate to disturb them, Mo Ziqi left Fei’er in the courtyard, entrusted her to Chai Feng, whispered his farewells to Fei’er, and stealthily returned the way he had come.

Fei’er watched him vanish from sight before pushing open the door and entering the room.

At that moment, Lady Du was up for a nighttime visit to the ladies’ and heard the sound of the door opening, promptly waking her husband with a sense of urgency, "Husband, listen, it sounds like someone has entered the room!"

Mu Zhongqing, too, had heard the sounds of the door and footsteps amid his slumber. He sat up suddenly, alert and asked, "Who is it?"

Fei’er, hearing her dad’s voice, quickly replied, "It’s me, Dad, I’ve come back!"

Before the voice had fully faded, Lady Du and Mu Zhongqing were already off the bed, hurrying out in haste.

"Fei’er, you’re back?"

"Were you bullied? Are you hurt in any way?"

"Come here, let Mom have a look...."

Fei’er followed her dad and mom into the room and slowly recounted her experiences in detail, not forgetting to mention her and Mo Ziqi’s secret lifelong commitment.
