In her heart, Cai Wei praised Lü Zhongma, wondering if the family had the courage to accept the house they were leaving behind? Hehe, she hoped they did!
Not wanting to linger in this dilapidated house, Cai Wei walked into the courtyard, gently jumped over the wall, and went directly to the neighbor’s.
In the next house, Chun Liu, Auntie Liu and Zhao Yun were staying indoors as Cai Wei had instructed, not even lighting a lamp. Upon seeing Cai Wei return, Chun Liu rushed forward, her eyes reddening as she choked up, "Miss, our house..."
Cai Wei replied lightly: "It doesn’t matter, I know all about it."
Chun Liu sobbed, "Those people were so fierce, they just started smashing everything with their axes, they’ve destroyed our entire house, what are we going to do?"
Cai Wei laughed, "It’s better that it’s destroyed. With the house gone, it gives us peace of mind. In three to five days, we will head to the Capital, they can do what they want with this place!"
Chun Liu’s tears turned into laughter, "Are you really going to take me to the Capital?"
Amused by Chun Liu’s alternating cries and laughs, Cai Wei said: "If I’m taking Zhang Bo’s family, how could I leave you behind? You’re really just like a child!"
Auntie Liu, who was lying on the kang due to a sore waist, laughed upon hearing this, "Exactly, this little girl is just like a child. You wouldn’t know this, Miss. When those villains came to smash our house yesterday night, this little maidservant picked up a fire stick and wanted to fight them. Thankfully, Zhao Yun managed to stop her and prevent a catastrophe!"
At Auntie Liu’s teasing, Chun Liu coyly lowered her head and muttered, "I was just anxious..."
Cai Wei said, "Do you think you alone could have fought off those villains? If you had rushed ahead, you might have met an unfortunate end. So remember, don’t act rashly. Learn from Sister Zhao Yun. You two are around the same age, but she handles things much more maturely than you!"
Chun Liu answered respectfully. Although she hadn’t spent much time with Zhao Yun, she could not help admiring her charisma. It was a pity, however, that this sister wasn’t as pretty. Otherwise, she could have matched with their own Miss!
Zhao Yun, upon hearing Cai Wei’s praise, simply bowed and walked away without showing much expression on her face.
Cai Wei hadn’t eaten all day and was now very hungry. She sent Chun Liu to the kitchen to prepare some food, while she went to the large room on the east to wait for Brother Parrot’s update.
She waited all night, but Brother Parrot couldn’t find Tianjizi’s head. Crestfallen, he returned to report this to Cai Wei.
Upon hearing this, Cai Wei became thoughtful. After a while, she still couldn’t make sense of it, so she let Brother Parrot go rest.
After washing up, she quickly ate a few bites of breakfast and hurried to the Xinglong Inn to discuss with Nangong Yi and Manager Li.
By this time, Nangong Yi’s men had all returned and were eating breakfast in the inn’s main hall. Nangong Yi was not there, but Manager Li was, sitting in the middle of the hall, engrossed in eating a pork trotter.
Cai Wei walked over, sat opposite him, and quietly informed him about Brother Parrot’s failure to find Tianjizi’s head. She asked him, "What do you think, Where could this old demon have gone? Has he really not died?"
Manager Li pondered for a moment, dropped his pork trotter, and said, "Girl, come with me."
