Upon seeing her parents, she hurriedly brought out a plate of cookies and presented them to her parents.
Just as she approached them, she noticed that her mother’s eyes were deep red and her elegant face was slightly swollen.
She was taken aback, asking, “What on earth happened?”
Lady Du, upon hearing her daughter’s question, could not hold back her tears.
She told her daughter everything that had transpired at Duke An’s Mansion.
Finishing her story with tears streaming down her face, she lanted, “I’m incapable of rescuing your maternal grandmother from that wolf’s den, but I can’t bear to see you falling into it either.
Now in a dilemma, it’s truly tornting !”
Upon hearing the cruel treatnt her maternal grandmother had suffered at the Duke’s mansion, Cai Wei was angered almost to the point of tears.
She scoffed, “Go, why not go?
Rest assured, with there, I bet those good-for-nothing layabouts won’t be able to touch us.”
“Yes, mother, let’s go.
Out grandmother must be longing to see us.
And if sothing were to happen to her when we’re not there, you’d be too late to regret.”
Fei’er also encouraged, distressed at hearing about their grandmother’s suffering, yearned to fly over at once to guard her.
“Mother, let’s go.
When the day cos that one yearns for care but the caregiver is no more present, it will be too late to go.”
Wu’er clenched his fists tightly.
He and his master had only learned a few moves, but he practiced those moves daily.
Once they arrived at Duke An’s Mansion, he was determined to give back double to those who mistreated their grandmother.
With his big clear eyes suddenly clouding over with tears, he was a soft-hearted child.
Upon hearing about the hardships his grandmother had suffered, he was deeply distraught.
“Let’s go, mother.
Grandma is so pitiful… wuu….”
Mu Zhongqing also spoke up, “My love, since the children have spoken, we should go.
Even if it ans venturing into a den of dragons and tigers, we can face it as family.
I just know that if we don’t go, you’ll never be at peace in this life.”
He understood his wife.
If she didn’t return to Duke An’s Mansion, and her mother passed away, she would surely bla herself daily, losing sleep and living the rest of her life in guilt and pain.
He couldn’t bear seeing her suffer so much.
Therefore, he chose to take the risk and accompany her back.
Once the whole family was of the sa opinion, Lady Du no longer hesitated.
She had made up her mind to return to Duke An’s mansion.
This return, she was no longer alone to face all the wicked lot.
She had her husband, their children, and her ailing mother.
This ti, she would never succumb to humiliation again.
Once it’s settled, Cai Wei brought out the newly invented sandwich cookies for everyone to taste.
Everyone praised it after tasting, and Wu’er repeatedly asked, “What is this, why is it so delicious?”
Cai Wei laughed and said, “This will be one of our dim sum shop’s signature delicacy, nad Sandwich Cookies!”
Cai Wei ntioned the shop again, and Mu Zhongqing suddenly rembered sothing.
He said, “Since we’re going to live in Duke An’s Mansion, where rules are strict, how could they possibly allow a girl to run a shop?”
Cai Wei scoffed, “Those rules belong to the old tis, holding people back instead of helping them forward.
Once I get there, I’ll definitely have to help them correct these unreasonable rules!”
Having said that, she returned to the back kitchen to bake so more sandwich cookies, egg tarts, and sandwiches to give to her grandmother the next day.
The next morning, just as the family of Cai Wei had gotten up, Steward Cao ca to the inn with a few n, saying they were there to invite the Fourth Miss and her family back to the mansion.
