Before Cai Wei could answer, Cai Ping "splash" knelt down, grabbing Cai Wei’s leg and crying out, "Big Sister, your older sister knows she went too far in the past and has offended you more than once, but all that is in the past now. Please, for the sake of us being from the sa clan, spare your sister this ti. Sister... Sister really has no way out now... I’m begging you..."
After she finished speaking, she started to kowtow to Cai Wei fiercely.
Zhao Yun exclaid in shock, "Miss, she’s your..."
"She’s my cousin!" Cai Wei said mockingly. "But, my dear cousin here has never once considered her younger sister. When I was little, I suffered a lot at her hands, and she even almost managed to sche against my mother."
Zhao Yun replied, "So that’s how it is. Miss, it was my mistake for bringing the wolf into the room. I’ll throw her out right now." As she finished, her clear eyes turned towards Tuoba Liang.
Understanding her, Tuoba Liang turned and called out towards the outside, "Soone co here!"
Imdiately, two guards of the ng slaves appeared at the entrance. Tuoba Liang glanced at Cai Ping and said, "Throw this woman out and don’t let her appear on Comrcial Street again."
The two guards acknowledged the order with a sound and approached to grab Cai Ping.
Cai Ping panicked, stood up, and grabbed Cai Wei’s arm, crying, "Younger sister, please, give your sister a way to survive..."
Seeing her cry exaggeratedly, Cai Wei retorted with mockery, "I’m only asking you to leave my territory; I didn’t have them break your arms and legs. You can live with your own two hands once you leave here. Why do you insist on staying? Could it be you have so unspeakable motives?"
As she was speaking, the two guards had already grabbed her arms. Cai Ping desperately lunged to hold onto Cai Wei’s shoulders, clinging to her clothes, while being dragged by the guards, she continued to cry, "Younger sister, my body is ruined, I have nowhere else to go. Please be kind and take in, just let have a al to eat..."
Cai Wei, being tugged at fiercely that even her long hair hanging behind was grabbed, frowned in disgust. Just as she was about to speak, Tuoba Liang’s two guards forcefully dragged Cai Ping away.
"Little sister—Big sister—"
Mu Caiping’s cries grew fainter as she was pulled away.
Cai Wei tidied up her tousled shiny hair, no longer concerning herself with Cai Ping’s matters, as if nothing had happened, she said, "I see almost all the shops on Comrcial Street are rented out now, Zhao Yun, you’re quite capable."
Zhao Yun humbly responded, "It’s not much of my doing. To tell the truth, it’s all thanks to the increasingly cold weather—people can’t do business outside anymore, so they started to think about renting shops." Then, she turned into the inner room to bring out a stack of account books, intending to settle accounts with Cai Wei.
Tuoba Liang was still leisurely finishing his breakfast, his movents graceful, silently eating, unlike the coarse and savage manners of other people of the ng Slaves, he seed very much like a young master of the Great Jin Nation’s aristocrats.
Zhao Yun brought out the account books and seeing Tuoba Liang had no intention of leaving, she put the stack of account books aside and stared at him in silence.
Tuoba Liang’s gaze followed her, and noticing her killing look, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you need to step out?"
Zhao Yun shot back, "What do you think?"
Tuoba Liang chuckled, laying down his chopsticks and propping himself up from the table to stand, his tall and strong body imdiately making Zhao Yun appear petite and delicate. Looking down at her, he said, "You’d promised to make breakfast, and this half-al doesn’t count. Tomorrow morning, I’ll co again!"
