Chapter 528: Thrown Out (9)_1
Wen’er and Wu’er were doing well, studying hard at school. Though they didn’t make any friends, the two brothers took care of each other. Even without friends, they didn’t feel alone.
The dessert shop run by Mo Liancheng was thriving, not falling behind at all compared with when she was managing it. Every day, Mo Liancheng carefully recorded the day’s turnover and handed it over to the Bafu Restaurant early the next morning. The Bafu Restaurant has long been back on track. With her father and Zhao Yun present, Cai Wei didn’t need to worry.
The cloth shop was also doing well. Cai Lian visited the shop every day to study embroidery from an old embroidery lady in the shop, along with Cai Fei.
Sixth Uncle Mu’s family was temporarily relocated by their father to a small civilian house near Mo Liancheng’s residence. Reverting to their old trade with Sixth Aunt Mu, they bought peanuts, melon seeds, and the like from the market, processed them into five-flavored peanuts and five-spiced melon seeds for sale. The business was surprisingly booming, netting an income of four or five hundred coppers per day.
The family of Sixth Uncle Mu was content. They were currently saving diligently in hopes of buying a small house in the capital and settle down here.
Wu Xiangyun, whom she met during the Shangsi Festival, was currently being held at home by her mother to learn female crafts. It was said that she had already been betrothed, to a legitimate son of Duke Li Guo’s mansion. The two were considered an equal match, and most importantly, they knew each other since childhood, essentially childhood sweethearts. There was no need to worry about them getting along in future.
Cai Wei was delighted for Xiang Yun’s good fortune. Although they had only met once, fate was a strange thing. Just like her and Xiang Yun, they had developed a deep friendship after spending just one day together, as if they’d known each other for more than ten years.
As for those she despised, Cai Wei did not let them off lightly. She quickly obtained their news from Brother Ying.
Empress Mo was either tending to her flowers or praying to Buddha in the Buddha Hall every day, hoping Buddha could bless Nangong Yi’s triumphant return as soon as possible. Princess Zhao Yang, on the other hand, was secretly planning to harm Cai Wei during the hunt with her nanny. If Cai Wei died, Saknu would surely not let it go. Her father would have to marry her to Saknu to appease Saknu’s resentment.
