Chapter 1289: Chapter 1295: Found Him (3)
Cai Wei said, “You couldn’t have made a mistake, could you? Shopkeeper Situ does have a father!”
Brother Ying grumbled, “Master, are you questioning their capabilities? They just checked, and in the entire Great Jin Nation, there are only three n with old penetrating scars on their right shoulder. One is over fifty years old and lives in Western Shu; another is in his thirties and his wound is still quite fresh; only Shopkeeper Situ’s shoulder wound is about twenty years old, and he also fits the age of twenty-two you ntioned!”
“What’s happening? What is it saying? Did you find him?”
On the side, Nangong Yi, seeing Brother Parrot squawking, knew it was communicating with Cai Wei, but he couldn’t understand or hear this interspecies communication. Cai Wei didn’t speak, her expression was rich, and though Brother Parrot did squawk a few tis, to him, it just sounded like a bird chirping.
Cai Wei turned her face and said to Nangong Yi, “We found him, it’s actually Shopkeeper Situ from my trading route!”
“Really him?”
Whenever Shopkeeper Situ was ntioned, Nangong Yi would imdiately picture a handso and refined face. Though he didn’t oppose Cai Wei doing business outside, he wasn’t entirely hands-off. He was intimately aware of what business Cai Wei conducted and who she interacted with. He harbored so jealousy over this young and handso shopkeeper, and though he trusted that Cai Wei wouldn’t betray him, having such a young, attractive man constantly fluttering around his wife made him extrely uncomfortable!
If it really were him, that wouldn’t be bad, as it would be a perfect excuse to get rid of him, which would solve this problem rightfully without offending his daughter-in-law. That would be fantastic!
“I will write to the Emperor of Qing Luo Kingdom right now,” he said, “to inform him of this good news and ask him to send an envoy to fetch his son, so that father and son may reunite sooner.”
Nangong Yi said this as he stepped into the room and went to the dragon desk to write the letter, with Cai Wei following loyally to help him with the ink.
A humble young eunuch walked into the hall and announced, “Madam, I went to Zhenbao Pavilion to deliver pearls today, and the shopkeeper of Zhenbao Pavilion said that Madam Mo Shao ca looking for you today and ntioned she needed to see you about sothing!”
Cai Wei said, “Understood, you may leave.”
Nangong Yi asked, “What does she want with you?”
Cai Wei replied, “It’s most likely related to your good brother; he has been deceived by a concubine, breaking Xiang Yun’s heart. Although he has now co to his senses, Xiang Yun has been deeply hurt and doesn’t intend to forgive him. The two of them are at odds now, and Xiang Yun is probably out of her depth, so she might be seeking my help.”
Nangong Yi said, “Since ancient tis, it has been difficult for even honest officials to resolve dostic matters. You’d better steer clear of other people’s household affairs to avoid future reproach from grandmother!”
Cai Wei laughed and said, “Rest assured, I know what I’m doing. You needn’t fret.”
…
In the suburban manor,
Xiang Yun got out of the carriage and rushed towards her room. She truly didn’t want to face that man. However, Mo Zili called out to her.
“Xiang Yun, wait.”
He walked over and handed her a beautifully crafted brocade box, “This is for you!”
“What is this?”
Xiang Yun reluctantly took it but did not open it.
Mo Zili smiled gently, “Open it and see for yourself!”
Rolling her eyes, Xiang Yun helplessly opened the box.
Inside the box, a set of light pink pearl head decorations lay quietly; the pearl flowers, the dangling pearl ornants, the pearl necklaces, the pearl earrings…
Each piece was ingeniously crafted, and all were quite pricey.
