Chapter 166: Sneaking into the Boudoir at Night (2)_1
Upon reaching the medical center, Mu Zhongli alighted from the carriage, acting concerned as he assisted Mu Liankui to walk into the center. Mu Liankui looked so sickly as though he was on the verge of death. Mu Chongcai and Mu Chongfu followed behind them looking equally sorrowful and mournful.
Watching the melodramatic performance of the family, Cai Wei felt irritated yet amused. She stopped in her tracks and said to her dad, "Look, the main house’s family knows they can’t take us on, so they change tactics to play the sympathy card."
Upon seeing the overly exaggerated performances, Mu Zhongqing shook his head disappointed and sighed, then walked inside with his hands behind his back.
Cai Wei didn’t feel like going in to watch their exaggerated performance or to discuss the nuances of familial relationships with them. She looked around and saw a line forming in front of a sauce meat shop in the distance and decided to go over and join the crowd.
As she approached the sauce meat shop, the unique aroma of marinated meat hit her nostrils and piqued her appetite. She joined the queue of customers eagerly awaiting their orders.
When it was her turn, she noticed that the shop only sold smoked and marinated meats, no vegetables. Looking at the shiny smoked chicken, the snowy marinated pork knuckle, the purple-red marinated wild rabbit, the marinated tendons, and the marinated pork trotters, her mouth began to water. She couldn’t wait to place her order.
She bought a piece of marinated pork knuckle, a smoked chicken, and two smoked fish. After having the shopkeeper prepare and plate them, she placed them in her basket happily and went back to her own horse carriage. While waiting for her dad, she enjoyed her meal.
The taste of the pork knuckle was exceptional, the flavor unique. The moment she took a bite, the strong meaty flavor spread in her mouth, leaving a lingering aftertaste.
