Cai Wei’s heart tightened, and she said evasively, "A healthy person suddenly becoming disabled needs an adjustnt period. Grandmother, don’t worry. Ti is the best healer. After so ti, once he accepts his current situation, things will naturally get better!"
"But how long will it take him to accept it? What if he gives up on himself before he even takes over?"
The Old Mada looked at Cai Wei intently and said, "Lady, I ca this ti to ask for a favor from you. Please assign the girl from the Shen Family to be Li’er’s wife. Although our Li’er is disabled, he is a thoughtful child and will surely treat her well. We will also love her like our own granddaughter. Moreover, if she wants to manage the household, the central distributions of the Duke Li Guo Mansion can also be handed over to her. As long as she is willing to marry in, she can have whatever she wants!"
Cai Wei said with difficulty, "Grandmother, you know that a forced lon is not sweet. Moreover, Juhua is straightforward. Since she doesn’t like Zili, even if she marries over, she wouldn’t be as tactful and accommodating as other won. She would end up hurting Zili, and their union would cause pain for both of them!"
"It won’t happen!"
The Old Mada said emphatically, "I may have only t that girl once, but I never judge people wrongly. That girl must be kind-hearted. Li’er saved her life, nearly sacrificing his own for her. I trust she wouldn’t be so heartless!"
"Grandmother, Juhua is not particularly outstanding in appearance, neither her family background nor talents could be considered above average. Have you thought about why Zili treats her so well? Why he would give up his life for her?"
Everyone knew the reason, and naturally, the Old Mada did too: "Ah, such sinfully entangled relationships, it’s all because the girl from the Shen Family resembles Xiang Yun..."
"Precisely, so I’m afraid that Zili doesn’t truly like Juhua; rather, he sees her as a substitute for Xiang Yun, transferring all his love for Xiang Yun onto Juhua. Since this is the case, why doesn’t Grandmother find another willing substitute to marry into the Duke Li Guo Mansion? This way, the substitute can sincerely treat Zili and wholeheartedly live with Zili, unlike Juhua, who would be reluctantly married, turning into a disgruntled couple with Zili in the future..."
"It’s not that we haven’t considered this idea, but where can we suddenly find soone who resembles Xiang Yun so much?"
Seeing the Old Mada’s resolve wavering, Cai Wei hurriedly said, "Leave this to . I promise to find a girl more like Xiang Yun than Juhua within three days!"
"Three days... Can you really find one?"
"Of course, how could Wei’er deceive you, Grandmother?"
Cai Wei assured confidently. She didn’t have the ability to find a replica of Xiang Yun within three days, but Brother Ying could. Actually, Brother Ying, within just one minute, could find all the girls in the Great Jin Nation resembling Xiang Yun. However, she couldn’t set the ti too short to avoid arousing the Old Mada’s suspicion.
After sending the Old Mada away, Cai Wei quickly summoned Brother Ying to help find the person. Brother Ying flew up, opened its perspective eye in mid-air, and within monts, found a dozen girls within the Great Jin Nation who closely resembled Xiang Yun.
"Get all their basic information for . I need to understand everything about them in the shortest ti possible!"
Cai Wei ordered, and Brother Ying let out a squawk, then flew away...
At night, when Nangong Yi returned, his handso face bore a few more traces of concern. In these days, more and more people were lining up to receive relief porridge, but the grain transported from elsewhere hadn’t arrived yet. The rice grain salvaged from the Capital was limited. A lot of grain was needed for distributing porridge for a day. The warehouse’s stock was nearly used up. Now that the Capital was hit by a disaster, there’s no place to buy grain. Providing porridge was a challenge for each household. To cope, so ministers mixed so moldy leftover rice in the porridge from previous years, making it even thinner than rice soup, which wasn’t filling at all. Only Nangong Yi and Cai Wei’s porridge shop persisted in using thick rice porridge. Many citizens, upon hearing about it, even traveled half an hour to line up here for porridge.
