Returning to Bishui Villa, the sky had fully darkened. Cai Wei first went to her mother’s room, intending to let her know she was back. Coincidentally, Cai Fei, Wen’er and Wu’er were also in her mother’s room, their father had not come back yet, everyone was listening to Fei’er talk.
"Why did you come back so late? It’s already dark!"
Upon seeing Cai Wei, Lady Du began to complain discontentedly. However, her face was filled with joy for having seen her daughter.
Cai Wei narrated her visit to the manor to her mother but left out the parts about encountering Du Wanqiu and others. She only mentioned things that would please Lady Du.
Lady Du was delighted to hear that the manor was well managed and the Zhang family had selected a potential wife for the eldest grandson. She expressed that she would certainly prepare a large gift for the Zhang family when they marry their daughter-in-law. Cai Fei excitedly said, "At that time, I will help them embroider a set of ’hundred years of harmony’ curtains!"
Cai Wei laughed and said, "Now that Fei’er is learning from Nanny Xiu, her embroidery skills must be improving greatly, right?"
At the mention of this topic, Cai Fei immediately became excited and began to talk endlessly about the magical embroidery skills of Nanny Xi. Her admiration for Nanny Xi was comparable to the obsessive fans she had seen in her past life.
Cai Wei was happy to see her joy. She remembered that during their time at the Mu Family, Cai Fei had always had an admiration for learning Shu Embroidery. Today, her wish might have been fulfilled, which must be making her very happy!
Back in the Mu Family Village, Cai Wei also made a vow that in the future, she would make sure her younger sister could live like a genuine lady of noble birth, not having to worry about her livelihood, and only have to embroider her flowers and sip her tea to enjoy a beautiful life everyday.
Now, that wish has been fulfilled. Seeing Cai Wei’s vibrant and contented appearance genuinely made Cai Wei happy...
In the late hours of the night, Cai Wei silently got up from the couch, changed into her prepared night-robe, and slipped out of the window.
At this time, the Capital was entirely shrouded in silence, the cold stone streets were so silent that even the falling of a needle could be heard.
Cai Wei rode on her white tiger, traversed the silent long street, and reached Duke An’s Mansion in the blink of an eye.
She was already familiar with the layout of Duke An’s Mansion and deftly made her way to the Old Madame’s courtyard. She used a confusion drug to incapacitate the servants on night duty in the courtyard, then quietly snuck into the Old Madame’s bedroom.
At this moment, Old Madam Wang was deep in sleep. In the luxurious bedroom, it was icy and deserted. On the expansive bed, there was only her.
The man she had been fighting and scheming for her whole life, in the end, was still not sleeping on her bed. As for this man, she had harmed countless young women and innocent children.
My grandmother’s tragic life was also caused by her. Including grandmother’s brutal death, even though she did not directly instruct the two girls to do it, but if it were not for her stirring up trouble, the two girls would not dare to disrespect my grandmother, and my grandmother would not have been killed.
Therefore, for the death of Grandmother, Old Madame Wang bears a considerable responsibility and should pay the price for it!
Cai Wei released some of the poisonous snakes from her space into her room. She did not want to involve others in the sins she had committed herself. So she obtained snake repellent from the Old Turtle, sprinkling it on the bodies of the several people in her courtyard, before quietly departing.
She was fair in her dealings. Since the Old Madame did not directly give the order to kill my grandmother, she also gets to have a chance at life. As for whether she can survive amid the venomous snakes, it depends on her own luck!
Similarly having the same opportunity was Du Yu Lang, the eldest grandson of the main house, and Du Yu Lang’s ruthless eldest son. Cai Wei performed the same actions and released all the remaining poisonous snakes from her space into Du Yu Lang’s courtyard. Wen’er was nearly killed by Du Yu Lang’s son. That child was only eleven or twelve years old. His deep hatred and lethal assault on Wen’er, aside from the child’s vile heart, was mainly due to his father’s instigation.
