Chapter 982: Chapter 984 Empress Arrives (4)

His wife, Lady Liu, also cried and said, "We thought this family was going to fall apart, some dying, others being sold, and we would never see each other again in this lifetime. Thanks to Miss Mu’s rescue, our family has not been torn asunder. From now on, we belong to Miss Mu, through thick and thin, obeying her every word."

Aunt Liao, holding her son and both crying and laughing, was unable to utter a complete sentence, while Madam Yue and the seven- or eight-year-old little girl sobbed, their gazes filled with gratitude towards Cai Wei.

Cai Wei helped them up and said, "Last time in Fangfei Pavilion, I told everyone that if you cooperated with me, I would ensure you have the opportunity to turn your fortunes around and leave here safely to live without worry about food and clothing for the rest of your lives. Do you all still remember that?"

"Remember, of course we remember, but what does Miss mean by this?"

Cai Wei said, "I have made a deal with the Great Kahn of the Meng slaves, Tuoba Kui, to purchase the glass produced by the Meng slaves. However, I do not have a trustworthy person to stay over there, so..."

"We’ll go, our entire family will go." Before Cai Wei could finish, Aunt Liao hastily made her stance known, tears streaming down her face. Du Yongqi and his wife, Lady Liu, also expressed in succession their willingness to go, ready to leave at any time.

As they were speaking, Huan Qiu had already led Sun Bao and Sun Hu in, with Zhao Yun following behind them.

Cai Wei said, "It will be the few of you. Zhao Yun will tell you the specifics of how duties will be divided. Afterward, you must all follow Zhao Yun’s arrangements. Once you are in Lingbei, if you encounter any trouble, you can look for a pair of sisters named Dun Zhu and Dan Zhu. They are my people and will try their best to help you."

Sun Hu asked, "Miss, when do we depart?"

Cai Wei answered, "We leave today. When you get to Lin’an, you can invite your elder brother to join you. He was rescued by King Qin a few days ago and is still in Lin’an Prefecture."

"Really?"

The Sun brothers’ eyes widened in surprise. Cai Wei laughed and said, "True or false, you will naturally find out when you reach Lin’an Prefecture. Quickly pack your things and prepare to depart!"

"Yes!"

The group responded in unison.

Cai Wei pulled Zhao Yun aside and said, "I’m entrusting you with a lot of responsibility in Lingbei. Once things get rolling there, I’ll call you back."

Zhao Yun replied, "Miss need not worry. Being all on my own, it doesn’t matter where I am. Now that I have so many people to give orders to, I’m more than happy. Wanting to come back is another matter entirely!"

Reassured by her words, Cai Wei then handed over a stack of Silver Bills to Zhao Yun as their operating funds for Lingbei, and also gave each of them fifty taels of silver for their personal expenses!

The Sun brothers, being strangers in this place, and Zhao Yun, who had no ties left there, along with Aunt Liao’s family, eager to escape their criminal status, quickly made preparations after receiving Cai Wei’s instructions. Soon, the group had hired two horse carriages and set off straight for the north...

...

At this time, Mu Zhongqing’s family and the people from the main room had made their grand entrance to Duke Li Guo’s Mansion.

By now, the entrance to Duke Li Guo’s Mansion was bustling with activity, carriages and people coming and going; officials from the court and ladies from various mansions entered the mansion one after another to offer birthday greetings. Old Madame’s eldest grandson, Mo Zijing, and the Second room’s eldest son, Mo Zili, stood on either side of the entrance to welcome the guests arriving to celebrate.

Once the Mu Family disembarked from the carriage, the members of the main room were overwhelmed with sights. Duke Li Guo’s Mansion was an ancient residence of over a hundred years, with four old locust trees at the door, mounting and dismounting stones, and hitching posts for horses. Directly opposite stood a brick rubbing and seam octagon shadow wall; the vermilion gate exuded an ancient charm, with a plaque of ebony above it inscribed with the four golden characters of ’Duke Li Guo’s Mansion’ in bold and vigorous strokes.
