Zhao Yun was even more astonished when she heard the news. She couldn’t believe that the dignified Duke An’s Mansion would dispense with familial affection and stoop so low for wealth, conspiring such a sleazy setting-up. It was indeed quite revealing to her.
"Second Miss, please don’t panic at what I’m about to tell you."
Zhao Yun comforted her while slowly revealing the matter of Mu Zhongqing’s arrest.
Upon hearing that her father had been taken away by the government, Cai Fei immediately broke down crying. She was just an eleven-year-old girl. Faced with such a catastrophe, all she could do was cry!
Cai Lian, who had been at Cai Fei’s side, started crying too when she heard that Mu Zhongqing had been taken away by the government. The two girls cried uncontrollably, showing no signs of stopping even after the officers had left.
Zhao Yun was sweating anxiously, "Second Miss, it’s not the time to cry now. The boss mentioned before he left that the Madam should not know about this matter. That’s why I came to seek your help for a solution. Quick, judge the situation!"
Just as they were speaking, Mo Liancheng, the shopkeeper of the Bafu Dim Sum Shop, rushed over, sweat beading on his forehead.
Zhao Yun’s heart skipped a beat, immediately sensing that something had gone terribly wrong.
As expected, as soon as Mo Liancheng arrived, he bowed and said, "Second Miss, our dim sum shop has been sealed off by the government..."
"What are we to do? What are we to do?"
Cai Fei was spinning in desperation. Duke An’s Mansion had framed their family for theft, two of the three shops at home had been sealed off, and her father had been arrested. How was she to manage this?
Suddenly, she remembered that her mother, grandmother, and younger brother were still at Duke An’s Mansion, she couldn’t help but shout, "Oh no!"
Zhao Yun quickly asked, "What happened?"
"My mother, younger brother, and grandmother are still at Duke An’s Mansion. Would they be dealt with maliciously?"
A horse carriage bearing the mark of Duke An’s Mansion stopped at the entrance of Fa’s Manor. Du Yuheng’s oily powdered face was revealed when the carriage curtain was pulled back, and he immediately said urgently to Fei’er, "Second Sister, get on the carriage quickly, something happened at home!"
Cai Fei asked cautiously upon hearing this, "What happened?"
While asking, she examined Du Yuheng’s face carefully, fearing that he would say something unpleasant.
Du Yuheng said anxiously, "It’s Young Master Wen and Young Master Wu. They got into a fight at school, and Young Master Wen’s head was busted, causing him to bleed profusely. He is still in a coma now!"
At these words, Cai Fei felt a bang in her head, and a wave of dizziness overcame her. She swayed and almost fell over but was caught in time by Zhao Yun.
"Second Miss, how are you?"
Zhao Yun was startled when she saw that Cai Fei’s eyes were wide open and unblinking. She let out a low cry and waved her hand incessantly in front of Cai Fei’s eyes.
Mo Liancheng stood frowning with hands clasped behind him, ceaselessly staring at the exaggerated face revealed inside the carriage!
"Second Miss, let’s go quickly. Young Master Wen has fainted from the pain. You should go and see him!"
Reminded by Du Yuheng, Cai Fei startled awake. She pushed Zhao Yun away, picked up her skirt, and ran towards Du Yuheng’s carriage.
Mo Liancheng and Zhao Yun spoke almost simultaneously. Zhao Yun quickly stopped the bewildered Cai Fei from running any further.
Mo Liancheng moved forward and saluted, questioning respectfully, "May I ask, young master, since it was our Young Master Wen who had an accident, why have you not reported it to our boss but instead came to inform our Second Miss?"
