Hearing Dad’s words, Cai Wei’s heart skipped a beat. In her Space, the most common flower was none other than the Green Manzi. Since the Green Manzi was precious and rare, if she planted it in large quantities and then sold it, she was sure to fetch a good price, much more than the food she had been growing!
With this thought in mind, she opened her Inner Vision to check on the Space and found that many of the vegetables had ripened. She was overjoyed and immediately had Chang Mei collect the mature cabbages and plant Green Manzi in their place.
The crops in Space grew at ten times the speed of those Outside. Green Manzi bloomed once every three years Outside, but in Space, it only took a little more than three months to flower. This way, every three months, she would have a large additional income!
Mother didn’t blame Dad for spending fifty taels of silver on a box of rouge. Instead, she said, "It’s thrifty to raise sons, but daughters should be raised in comfort. A daughter should indeed be spoiled, but one box isn’t enough; we should also buy one for Wei’er."
Mu Zhongqing, not wanting Cai Wei to feel wronged, hurriedly explained, "I originally intended to buy two boxes, but this Skin Moisturizing Cream is difficult to craft, and it takes a few days to make one box. Today, there happened to be only this one box, and as I thought Wei’er would only be back in a few days, I placed another order with the shopkeeper of Mi Fangzhai for a box, which will be available in a few days."
After finishing, as if afraid that Cai Wei wouldn’t believe him, he showed her the receipt for the ten taels of silver he had paid as a deposit.
Cai Wei knew Dad had always doted on them, how could she not believe him?
Therefore, she smiled and pushed the receipt back to him, saying, "A daughter naturally trusts her father. You don’t need to worry."
Mu Zhongqing smiled, folded the receipt, and put it back into his pocket.
After dinner, she went back to her room early. As soon as she entered, she slipped into Space and went to sleep in her boudoir. Having raced through the night on the back of a White-Haired Tiger the previous night, and with the task of dealing with the scum Du Yuheng Tonight, she needed to take the time to get some proper sleep.
Time in Space and Outside were different. One Hour Outside was equivalent to three hours in Space. Hence, Cai Wei slept for six hours in Space, while only two hours had passed Outside.
Well-rested, she emerged from Space and glanced at The Sky Outside, which was almost at Midnight. By this time, the Family had gone to sleep, and the entire Manor was silent and still. She sneaked into the Courtyard, quietly mounted the White-Haired Tiger, and headed straight for Duke An’s Mansion.
In advance, Brother Ying had discovered that Du Yuheng was staying in the Study Room Tonight. Therefore, Cai Wei easily found him.
Through the damp paper window, Cai Wei saw Du Yuheng "engaged" with a fair-skinned little boy, their shiny white bodies writhing incessantly in the dark night, squirming like two white maggots in a dung heap, making Cai Wei feel disgusted.
"Chang Mei, go, squash him!"
Cai Wei turned away, no longer bearing to watch the revolting scene Inside the room. Since Du Yuheng’s every thought was on his lower body, she intended to destroy his ability to harm others ever again.
Chang Mei flashed into the room quickly, and soon after, Du Yuheng’s shrill, desperate screams echoed from Inside. Chang Mei ran out and hurried back into Space while Cai Wei took advantage of the confusion before anyone could arrive, leaped onto the White-Haired Tiger, and quickly fled...
The next day, after Breakfast, Cai Wei accompanied Dad and Fei’er in the carriage to the city. She planned to take charge of her ginseng shop, "Muji’s Shen Record Shop," first, then visit Mi Fangzhai to inquire about the price of Green Manzi. If the price was right, she intended to plant Green Manzi on a large scale and then resell it to Mi Fangzhai.
Upon arrival at "Muji’s Shen Record Shop," Huo Yuan was not there. Cai Wei left a message with Master Situ, asking him to send someone to summon Huo Yuan. She then went to Mi Fangzhai to handle her affairs, rather than waiting idly and wasting time there.
