Chapter 439 Let Me Take a Look for You(2)_1
Little did she know, Huo Yuan, who had walked the world for many years and seen countless people, saw through her little tricks used in the Back House. He didn’t rebuke her or say anything. Not because he couldn’t, but because he couldn’t be bothered to.
As Du Wanqiu was delightfully thinking of her own plans, Du Wanyue mockingly said, "Is big sister discrediting Mu Caiwei in front of Young Master Huo just to push her aside and rise to power herself?"
Du Wanqiu glared at her and said, "I’m just acting out of sisterly love, wishing Young Master Huo to advise her a bit, is it like what you think?"
Du Wanyue sneered and said, "Even if you tell this to a ghost, the ghost won’t believe you, let alone me. But, if elder sister wants to snatch someone, why not do it overtly? Sneaky tripping from behind would just belittle you."
Du Wanqiu said with a cold laugh, "Your elder sister indeed tried to snatch someone overtly, but unfortunately, she was repulsed and came back empty-handed. Oh, where did your elder sister go? Perhaps she was so ashamed that she hid herself to weep?"
Du Wanyue looked around and indeed did not see Du Wanru, which made her anxious. She turned her back on Du Wanqiu and went looking for her sister.
Cai Wei was pulled by Nangong Yi, who refused to let go no matter how she tried to shake him off. His large manly hand, like an iron clasp, held on to her firmly, drawing the attention of countless palace maidens and eunuchs along the way.
She whispered anxiously and embarrassingly, "Nangong Yi, release your hand."
"Wei’er, I’m not letting go ever again. If I let you go, you’ll fly away..."
He said it metaphorically as he gripped her hand even tighter.
Cai Wei had no choice but to continue walking with him against her will. On their way, Nangong Yi hardly spoke, only holding Cai Wei and walking silently. The hand holding Cai would become hotter as the time passed, until it was burning hot.
