Wu’er laughed and said, "No matter how shaless he is, if it’s not his, it will never end up in his hands. If he’s unhappy, let him file a lawsuit. It’s not only that the two land deeds he has were long invalidated, but even if they weren’t, who has ever won a case against our Mu Family in the Great Jin Nation!"
Wu’er is not being arrogant. In the Great Jin Nation, indeed few dare to provoke the Mu family people. However, the Mu family people are very low-key, never causing trouble or getting involved. Even if soone without foresight provoked them, as long as it’s not too excessive, Mu Zhongqing would generally choose to endure, and would also advise his sons to endure, rather than suppress others relying on their identity. But this ti, Wu’er will not endure, for there’s no need to tolerate such shaless people.
Yaochu, seeing the Master’s attitude, said, "Yes, the servant knows how to handle it." After saying that, he bowed and went out.
Wu’er lingered for a mont, then turned to attend to other matters.
...
Inside the luxurious brocade-adorned Shouxian Palace, sandalwood smoke dispersed lightly from the bronze dragon Boshan furnace, jade carved doors, carved trays of magnolia wood, beams decorated with wood from Wental, the spaciousness of the palace made voices seem to echo.
On the fire kang covered with a brocade quilt, Cai Wei reclined diagonally against a flower-weaved bolster, quietly taking a nap. The new year was approaching, with many affairs in the palace, fearing Jin’er might not handle them well, she and Nangong Yi hurried back from outside and have been staying inside the palace these days, handling governntal affairs as well as Imperial Harem matters.
It was late morning, the ti most prone to drowsiness during the day, Cai Wei, after watching the account books for a while, had unknowingly fallen asleep. Sitting opposite her, Nangong Yi noticed, gently lifted her from the kang table, letting her comfortably lay her head on the pillow, and covered her with the brocade quilt, while he himself was not in the mood to read the accounts book but chose to sit beside her, resting his chin, watching his madam asleep.
Though already a thirty-year-old person, his madam’s face carries none of the marks a woman of thirty should have, her skin remained soft and fair, moistly translucent, like a maiden of more than ten years old, or like an egg with its shell peeled off. Even the jade link loop that lay beside the pillow couldn’t rival her skin’s whiteness and lustre.
She slept quietly, breathing evenly, the butterfly tassels on her chest rising and falling with it. Silver-red curtains enclosed this beautiful picture of a spring nap, the whole scene rich and suggestive.
He gazed at her, with eyes filled with deep affection and indulgence. Having married her for over ten years, he loved her more with each passing day. To the point, where even a mont apart from her beca distressing for him, he himself was surprised to find he could be so attached to a person, loving her down to his bone marrow and blood!
He loved her not only for her beauty; beauty only made up a small part of his reasons for loving her, more important was the spiritual connection and mutual understanding they shared.
More than ten years of ti allowed them to deeply integrate into each other’s lives, becoming an indispensable part of each other’s existence. Even without the mid-cloud rain Gu, if one of them departed this world first, the other would not linger on, for without the other, life would hold no aning.
Although the thought is selfish, love inherently possesses a selfishness, impossible to control or asure with reason; they love each other uncontrollably...
Suddenly, Cai Wei’s long and thick eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings, her peach blossom-like charming lips slightly parted, accompanied by a sweet and llow breath, those shimring phoenix eyes slowly opened, in an instant, captivating souls, lighting up the room.
"How did you wake up so soon?" He asked with a laugh, unable to resist pecking her seductive lips.
Cai Wei slightly propped herself up, changed position to lean against the pillow, the hundred butterflies quilt slid down along her body curve to her waist, she moved her neck and said, "Brother Ying sent a letter, which woke up."
Nangong Yi asked, "What’s the matter?"
Cai Wei said, "Wen’er will be ho tomorrow, and my younger brother’s wife’s rouge shop has also opened for business..."
