Chapter 660: Something Happened(4)_1
Du Yuheng saw that a servant had dared to question him, which displeased him greatly. However, to coax Cai Fei into the carriage, he patiently explained, "I heard that Uncle Su had an accident and wasn’t at the restaurant, so I hastily came to find you, Second Younger Sister. Is it that you suspect me, a mere servant?"
The servant laughed it off, "Young Master must be joking, I would not dare to do so! I’m merely thinking that it would be better if we inform our mistress about this, and let her handle the situation. Even though Second Miss is the oldest sister, she’s still young. It’s more appropriate for an adult to handle such matters."
Mo Liancheng stood straight, even though he referred to himself as a ’humble one’, his demeanor did not falter in comparison to the Young Master in the carriage. He even looked more prepared!
Zhao Yun also whispered, "Second Miss, our shop has been sealed off, leaving the shopkeeper, Waiters and Embroider scattered around. Du didn’t have a glance at this situation and rushed to deliver this news. Don’t you find this situation a bit suspicious?"
Listening to Zhao Yun, Cai Fei also felt that something was wrong.
Logically, she should have been standing outside with the shopkeeper and other shop staff, while the shop was sealed off. Even if Du was in a hurry, he should have asked a few questions. However, without sparing a glance, he mentioned this matter, which was against common sense.
Moreover, she had only met this cousin of the main house a few times, able to count the instances on one hand. However, ever since her return from the manor, she bumped into him every night in the garden. Every time they met, he watched her like a wolf eying its prey, which made her goosebumps erupt...
He was the type that not harming her could be considered a great fortune. So why would he take the trouble to deliver this news to her?
Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but feel a chill run down her spine. She took two wary steps back, refusing to move a step towards the carriage.
Du Yuheng, who was already irritated with Mo Liancheng’s questions, was further infuriated when he saw Cai Fei growing wary of him. He pointed at Mo Liancheng and yelled, "You dog slave, who do you think you are, meddling in the affairs of the Duke An’s mansion. Are you itching for a beating?"
After scolding him, Du Yuheng turned to Cai Fei with a smiling face, "Second Younger Sister, let’s hurry up. Your Brother Wen is waiting for you!"
Cai Fei shook her head firmly, saying, "Thank you for your trouble, cousin. However, as they say, boys and girls should not sit together after the age of seven, let alone ride together. Please go about your own affairs, I will return home on my own!"
