Chapter 369 Opening a Shop in the Capital (1)_1
Mu Zhongqing and Lady Du returned to the inn with heavy hearts, just as their daughter Cai Wei had perfected the recipe for sandwich cookies. Upon seeing her parents, she hurriedly brought out a plate of cookies and presented them to her parents.
Just as she approached them, she noticed that her mother’s eyes were deep red and her elegant face was slightly swollen. She was taken aback, asking, "What on earth happened?"
Lady Du, upon hearing her daughter’s question, could not hold back her tears. She told her daughter everything that had transpired at Duke An’s Mansion.
Finishing her story with tears streaming down her face, she lamented, "I’m incapable of rescuing your maternal grandmother from that wolf’s den, but I can’t bear to see you falling into it either. Now in a dilemma, it’s truly tormenting me!"
Upon hearing the cruel treatment her maternal grandmother had suffered at the Duke’s mansion, Cai Wei was angered almost to the point of tears. She scoffed, "Go, why not go? Rest assured, with me there, I bet those good-for-nothing layabouts won’t be able to touch us."
"Yes, mother, let’s go. Out grandmother must be longing to see us. And if something were to happen to her when we’re not there, you’d be too late to regret."
Fei’er also encouraged, distressed at hearing about their grandmother’s suffering, yearned to fly over at once to guard her.
"Mother, let’s go. When the day comes that one yearns for care but the caregiver is no more present, it will be too late to go."
Wu’er clenched his fists tightly. He and his master had only learned a few moves, but he practiced those moves daily. Once they arrived at Duke An’s Mansion, he was determined to give back double to those who mistreated their grandmother.
With his big clear eyes suddenly clouding over with tears, he was a soft-hearted child. Upon hearing about the hardships his grandmother had suffered, he was deeply distraught.
