Chapter 936: Chapter 938: King Qin Returns to the Capital (5)

Upon hearing the news that Fei’er had privately committed her life to the legitimate son of Duke Li Guo’s Mansion, Lady Du and Mu Zhongqing couldn’t remain seated; they stood up together and vehemently opposed their daughter’s decision.

"Fei’er, at your tender age, how could you decide such a major matter on your own?"

"A young master from a prestigious family, especially one that a little girl like you can control? What’s more, the deep courtyard of Duke Li Guo’s Mansion isn’t a place our kind of people can reach. You better abandon this thought quickly!"

"Your sister was much more capable than you and did the same thing, keeping it from us parents and choosing her life partner herself. What resulted from it? Assassins chased her down to our home to kill, and now our entire family is hiding here like rats, still not knowing when this will end!"

"You must never meet that Young Master Mo again. In the future, your dad and mom will handle returning him for you; don’t be foolish again..."

Mu Zhongqing and Lady Du were ordinary folks. Ever since Empress Jin sent assassins to the villa to kill someone the last time, they regretted allowing their daughter to privately commit her own life. Forced to flee from King Qin’s residence the previous night, the couple was even more aggrieved. These terrifying days of constantly fearing for their lives were not suitable for them, ordinary people. They would rather return to their previous life in Mu Family Village, enduring days without constant meals, and prefer Cai Wei to marry Jiujin in a monogamous marriage and live a good life, rather than endure this current intimidating luxury.

Yet, they couldn’t control Cai Wei’s marriage affairs; it wasn’t just that the other party was the high and mighty King Qin, whom they dared not oppose, it was also that they couldn’t control Cai Wei herself.

Ever since recovering from a severe illness last year, this daughter seemed like a changed person. Except for having the same face as before, there was nothing similar to her old self. Her capabilities, her insights, couldn’t have been achieved by their daughter before, and as much as the couple whispered about it behind her back, they couldn’t understand why she had changed.

This simultaneous familiar and strange daughter made them feel both affectionate and a bit alienated and in awe; as for her affairs, the couple really dared not meddle too deeply. Although they disapproved of many things she did, they still turned a blind eye and let her be!

But with Fei’er it was different. Fei’er had always been their compliant and gentle daughter, never changing. their feelings for Fei’er had also been constant. Therefore, when it came to Fei’er’s major marriage issue, the couple was determined to get involved thoroughly and wouldn’t allow Fei’er to continue in confusion!

Facing her parents’ strong opposition, Fei’er kept her head down all along, wiping her tears but refused to promise not to see Mo Ziqi again. Pushed to her limit, tears falling, Fei’er said, "Dad, Mom, my heart is decided. In life, I am his, and in death, I am his ghost. If you truly disagree, then I might as well not marry at all in this lifetime!"

With that, she covered her face, crying and ran outside...

...*...*...

Night fell,

Within a sprawling mountain range, the Great Jin army set up their camp. Nangong Yi once again arranged a substitute to stay and guard the camp while he prepared to return to the Capital with Cai Wei.

This morning, Cai Wei had already switched out the husk-filled coarse rice in the camp with fresh grain restored from her space, free of any musty smell. With the food issue resolved, there were no other issues in the army, so Nangong Yi could depart with peace of mind to handle his important affairs in the Capital.

The two rode on a white-haired tiger, speeding across the vast land. They were not far from Lin’an City and arrived there in approximately ten minutes.

Suddenly, Cai Wei remembered the brothers, Sun Hu and Sun Bao. Their eldest brother was still imprisoned in the dungeon because of her stealing two catties of rice; now that they were passing through Lin’an with ample time, it was a good opportunity to rescue the Sun Family’s eldest brother from the dungeon.
