Chapter 125 Family Reunion (11)_1
Lady Du unfolded the bundle, taking out the clothes one by one and dressing her husband. She then rolled up his old, feather-covered clothes and instructed Zhang Bo to throw them out.
When Mu Zhongqing put on that lake blue silkworm-fur robe, his feelings flooded over him and he became lost in thought. In his entire life, the best piece of clothing he had ever worn was a cotton robe awarded to him by his tribe when he became a scholar. He had worn that robe for four to five years until it wore out, but he still couldn’t bear to discard it.
Who would have thought, in his remaining years, he could have the opportunity to wear such luxurious clothes - and all of this was due to his daughter’s accomplishments!
His daughter was not even fourteen years old yet, always a shy and introverted little girl who existed modestly, as invisible as a little grass. But unexpectedly, she grew into a towering tree, and the whole family was relying on her. Despite being in his early thirties, he already began benefiting from his children’s success. He didn’t know whether to feel happy or melancholic.

Inside the ready-made clothes shop
Cai Fei stood in front of a double-sided embroidered decorative screen with a peacock and peony, fascinated by the intricate and elaborate stitching. Intently, she tried to understand and mimic the stitching...
Wen’er and Wu’er obediently stood off to one side. Wen’er’s eyes were fixed on her two older sisters while Wu’er was fixated, albeit with some fear, on the gigantic snow wolf skin hanging on the wall.
Seeing Cai Fei engrossed in examining the embroidery, Cai Wei didn’t have the heart to disturb her. She wandered about inside the shop, browsing and waiting.
The ready-made clothes in front of her were made from exquisite materials and crafted finely. These outfits were much superior to the ones at the Qingyun Town Ready-made Clothes Shop. One design had even been created in three sizes - small, medium, and large - to accommodate every customer’s unique body shape. This meant that no matter how big or small a person was, they could find clothes that fit them here. If only the clothes shop at Qingyun Town were so well-stocked, she could’ve bought the evildoer a properly fitting outfit yesterday and wouldn’t have had a fallout with him!
However, having said that, while that evildoer was despicable and flippant, there was no denying that he had excellent physique and appearance. If he were to don the indigo-colored robe embroidered with bamboo... he would most certainly look attractive and ethereal...
