Chapter 1186: Chapter 1192: Young Master Save (1)
Huan Qiu recounted the events, and Cai Wei ordered all the unrelated bystanders to leave. Public opinion is sothing to be feared—if it were to beco known that Fei’er had once been abducted by the Prince of Guangling, it would damage her Maiden’s Reputation!
After hearing Huan Qiu’s account, Huo Yuan was shocked beyond asure. In his mind, Aunt Bi had always been a resentful woman confined to her Deep Chamber, day in and day out, with her heart set on nothing but gaining his favor. Never had he imagined that she would conspire with Outside n and devise a Poisonous Plan to entrap Fei’er, nearly causing her to lose her honor and almost leaving him too ashad to face Cai Wei again. This woman was truly malicious!
Knowing she could not deny her actions, Aunt Bi continued to kowtow to Cai Wei and Huo Yuan, crying, “Big cousin, it was Bi Lian who montarily lost her senses, blinded by foolishness. Please, for the sake of our Childhood Sweetheart past, plead to the Empress Dowager for rcy on Bi Lian’s behalf and show leniency this one ti…”
“Bi Lian swears she will never dare again, big cousin, I beg you…”
Huo Yuan glared at her with a pale face for a while, then turned to Cai Wei and said, “I apologize. It’s my lack of strict household managent that has caused your whole family such great trouble. This woman’s actions are indeed detestable. Leave her to Ying Tianfu for punishnt. Whatever charges they see fit, let them press—don’t consider my feelings!”
Hearing this, Bi Lian burst into loud weeping. “Cousin, if anything happens to , my aunt will be heartbroken. You don’t have to do this for my sake, but for the sake of my deceased mother and my aunt’s face, please help Bi Lian. I don’t want to die, and I don’t want to be thrown into prison…”
As she spoke, she started to kowtow with such force that Thud Thud Thud, her head was soon bleeding from the impact!
Cai Wei looked on coldly, neither speaking up to spare her nor accusing her of her cris.
Right then, she truly wished she could hand her over to Ying Tianfu for judicial punishnt and have this venal and stealthy woman imprisoned and ruined in reputation. However, the only reason she had not acted was because of Huo Yuan.
The Huo Family was a family with a distinguished na in the Great Jin, and if an aunt of theirs committed such an offense, they would be criticized and ridiculed, thereafter unable to hold their heads high among the Aristocrats. She didn’t want Huo Yuan to be implicated by this woman. Moreover, although Fei’er and Huan Qiu had suffered much from the ordeal, they had both turned peril into safety, and Fei’er had even turned misfortune into a blessing by falling in love with Mo Ziqi, making a vow of three lifetis. Therefore, the resentnt in Cai Wei’s heart lessened, and she decided to use this opportunity to do Huo Yuan a favor.
Besides, she knew that even if she spared Aunt Bi, Huo Yuan wouldn’t let the treacherous woman off easily. “If word of this spreads, it will impact Fei’er’s Maiden’s Reputation. So, let’s not involve the Governnt offices. Fortunately, nothing serious happened, and it was a narrow escape. Just take this Aunt Bi back ho, but be wary of her. With such malicious intents, make sure she doesn’t co out and harm others again!”
Cai Wei was Polite with her words, but Huo Yuan’s face turned red. He had always seen himself as Cai Wei’s guardian, yet his own family’s concubine had landed him in such a ss. Thankfully, Fei’er was unhard, otherwise, he wouldn’t have had the face to see her again!
Huo Yuan left with Aunt Bi. Once the people left, Cai Wei called Zhao Fuyin to her and instructed him thoroughly. Zhao Fuyin accepted the order and imdiately departed Mi Fangzhai with Wang Cai and Du Wanqing to Duke Li Guo’s Mansion!
After everyone was gone, Manager Wen approached timidly and spoke softly, “I was unaware that the Empress Dowager graced our presence. Please forgive the inadequate hospitality!”
Cai Wei Laughed and said, “Manager Wen, there’s no need for such formalities. In Mi Fangzhai, we are partners, not the Empress Dowager and her subjects. In the future, let’s continue as before. Our interactions shouldn’t be constrained by status or identity; otherwise, we can’t cooperate effectively.”
