Chapter 946: Chapter 948 Visiting the Parents-in-law (3)

Cai Wei looked at the empty earthen jar and suddenly thought of the liquor jars she had stored under the big banyan tree at home. She couldn’t help feeling a bit anxious. No, once she returned, she must move these jars out of the space; otherwise, Brother Parrot and Chang Mei would surely drink them all!

After leaving the space, Cai Wei found her dad and mom and told them to prepare, as the matters inside the palace had concluded, and they could return to the capital immediately.

The past couple of days of fleeing had put great psychological pressure on Mu Zhongqing and Lady Du. The husband and wife had both become considerably haggard. After hearing their daughter’s words, Mu Zhongqing pondered for a moment and said, "Since there’s no trouble now, we might as well return to our manor. Let’s not stay at King Qin’s mansion anymore."

Lady Du also agreed with her husband’s words. She beckoned Cai Wei to her side and said earnestly, "Wei’er, you should also come and live at the manor with your dad and mom. King Qin has been good to you, and your parents have seen it, but after all, you are a girl from an ordinary family, and they haven’t given you an official status yet. Living in someone else’s home without this status will ultimately be looked down upon. And, stop letting others call you the wife of King Qin. After all, the emperor and empress haven’t recognized you yet. If in the future—mother is just saying if—in case the emperor and empress do not permit King Qin to marry you as his official wife, won’t you have been called the wife of King Qin in vain for so long? It would surely become a joke, and the future wife of King Qin would be wary of you."

As she spoke, tears streamed down her face!

Cai Wei knew her parents’ thoughts and laughed and said, "Dad and mom need not worry. King Qin will not fail your daughter. Just you wait and see."

Wiping her tears, Lady Du said, "You are so young, how can you understand the insidious nature of people’s hearts? In any case, your parents will not harm you. We are keeping you away from his mansion for your own good. If you really care about us, you won’t see him in secret."

Mu Zhongqing also said gravely, "The royal family is the most heartless of all. Fathers and sons, brothers, they are all willing to kill each other. Not to mention a helpless country girl like you. Right now he likes you and treats you well, but what if one day he stops liking you? Your parents’ family can’t help you at all. Have you thought about the consequences for yourself? A life in the royal family is not suitable for you. Listen to your parents, King Qin is not the right match for you. Try to break it off with him, and if he refuses, we will leave our assets here and go back to our old home. Your father will teach, your mother will do embroidery and weaving. Even if we live a bit harder, being together as a family peacefully is always better than living in fear here every day, isn’t it?"

Before Cai Wei could respond, a lazy voice suddenly came from outside the window, "It’s too late for the parents-in-law to say these words now!"

"King Qin!"

Lady Du and Mu Zhongqing were startled, and immediately they both stood up, as if facing a great enemy.

Cai Wei rubbed the center of her brow. This fellow, hadn’t he said he would send Chai Feng to pick her up? Why had he come in person? Now that the rebellion of The Prince had just been quelled, he had many affairs to deal with at court. What was he doing here?

At the entrance, Nangong Yi walked in unhurriedly.

Lady Du and Mu Zhongqing exchanged glances, stepped forward to greet him, only to be preempted by Nangong Yi kneeling down first.

"Your son-in-law pays his respects to the parents-in-law!"
