In fact, without the old lady reminding them, Zhang Biaotou and his brothers have already thought this way. Their lives were supposed to belong to Yama, it was the young lady who extended a helping hand, so they could be reborn and reunite with their old mother and their wives and children. Henceforth, their lives belong to the young lady.
Once they have his promise, Cai Wei entrusted Chun Liu, Zhao Yun, and Aunt Liu to them, instructed them to sell the family property as quickly as possible. Once Aunt Liu’s waist recovers, they will find them in the capital together.
Cai Wei didn’t tell Nangong Yi that she was going to leave. She only wrote a short letter and asked Zhao Yun to deliver it to Manager Li tomorrow.
In the letter, she informed him that she had found the whereabouts of her family, was going to rescue them, could not make time to bid him farewell, and would hence take leave first.
She believed that this letter would reach Nangong Yi’s hands at the fastest speed, as an explanation for her whereabouts, so as not to worry him!
At night, after nightfall, Cai Wei came outside, called out the white tiger, rode on its back, and flew towards her parents’ direction.
At the same time, Chai Feng who had been quietly following Cai Wei, was already so shocked by her actions that he stood there dumbstruck for a long time before finally realizing he had to report back to his master.
When Chai Feng arrived at Xinglong Inn, Nangong Yi had not yet gone to bed. He was resting by himself, content and despondent, drinking his wine. Upon hearing Chai Feng’s report, his expression changed drastically. Not due to Cai Wei riding a tiger - he had long since stopped being surprised by such things - but from worry: where had she gone? Was she in any danger?
"Find out, where did she go?" He ordered coldly.
Even though she has made it clear that there is now a line between them, and their relationship is completely severed, he still cannot help but care about her. Enduring the whole day without seeing her was already his limit. Now he heard that she went out in the middle of the night, for an unknown reason, to an unknown destination, and all things about her are no longer under his control. This is something he cannot tolerate.
Before Chai Feng could react, his figure disappeared instantly.
In the quiet private room, Nangong Yi was pacing back and forth irritably.
Outside the door, Luo Xue had been kneeling there stiffly. She had been kneeling for a day and night. Nangong Yi, considering that his Imperial Mother could not leave her, did not punish her. However, he ordered her to get out immediately and never show up in front of him again.
This command is equivalent to taking her life. What if she really leaves and never gets a chance to be by his side again? All the hopes and dreams she had for many years will be shattered to pieces, life will have no meaning to her!
She, who has always been proud, is already trembling. Yesterday, she was almost killed by the drug from that little bitch. Fortunately, she is proficient in medicine and knocked herself out just in time to avoid the fate of dying from laughter. However, her body was greatly damaged. She had been kneeling here for a full day and night, already overdrafting her body and cannot hold on any longer. If it weren’t for the firm belief at the bottom of her heart supporting her, she would have fallen down long ago!
Before long, Chai Feng returned, bringing a letter with him given to Nangong Yi. After reading it, Nangong Yi pondered for a while and then decisively said, "Order everyone to pack up immediately, we’re going back to the capital!"
As he stepped out, Luo Xue was still kneeling there. Seeing Nangong Yi coming out, she kneeled forward anxiously and said, "Master, please listen to me ..."
Nangong Yi stopped, looked at her coldly, and said with indifference, "It seems you still haven’t learned your lesson, disobeying my orders once again!"
Luo Xue shook her head, tears rolling down her cheeks, sobbing, "I didn’t mean to disobey your orders. Before I came here, the Empress Dowager had issued a decree, ordering I must follow the master, no matter what. So even if I die, I will follow the master, and never leave! I beg the master to forgive my unintentional mistake. I will never offend Miss Mu again!"
