Chapter 403: The Empress’s Invitation Letter (5)_1
Cai Wei respectfully bowed, her face filled with humility and gratitude. She received the invitation letter with both hands, but her heart sank to the bottom.
The Empress Dowager is coming to settle the scores with her. Even though she and her son have parted ways, the Empress Dowager is not going to let her off the hook.
For Mu Caiwei, her only son, Nangong Yi, had ignored the bloody letter. This action would be unacceptable to her, who sits in a high position. As a mother, she subconsciously blamed the third party, not her own son. Thus, her hatred for her grew even more.
Later, there was the incident where Nangong Yi, for her sake, disregarded his own responsibilities and life. In the face of an unbeatable adversary, he stubbornly insisted on fighting Tianjizi to the death. All of these things, no mother could bear. And the Empress Dowager was no exception.
Cai Wei didn’t believe that a few skewers of grilled meat could change the prejudices of such a high-standing mother, and genuinely invite her to attend the banquet. Perhaps there’s a catch at the banquet, just waiting for her to fall in...
At this thought, she shivered. She happened to see the Bailiff of the White House standing up, politely saying goodbye to Old Madame.
Old Madame tried to keep him for a meal, but Bai Shang Palace politely declined, saying he ’needed to return to the palace to report.’ Thus, Old Madame Wang and her three daughters-in-law courteously escorted him to the front gate of the Duke’s mansion, waiting until he was out of sight before turning back.
