Chapter 676: The One Seeking Death Has Come (1)_1
In the letter, Cai Wei briefly mentioned her current predicament. She didn’t disclose where she was, nor did she elaborate on how she escaped danger. She only told him that she was now in a safe place and couldn’t return home for the time being. She asked him to help look after her family and be wary of any malicious acts from Duke An’s Mansion towards them.
Even without her request, he would’ve done everything within his power to ensure their safety. The Mu family had already been relocated to Bishui Villa by him, safe from harm. If everything went as expected, Mu Zhongqing would be able to return home the next day, and their property, and lands would be restored.
However... Auntie Mei would never be able to return home...
While replying to her letter, Huo Yuan pondered for a long time before deciding to inform her about Auntie Mei’s death. Cai Wei was an emotional person. If she came to know that he concealed the news and denied her the opportunity to send her grandmother off on her final journey, she would surely feel remorseful. He didn’t want her to carry this burden, hence after much consideration, he wrote the news of Lady Mei’s death in the letter.
Brother Parrot stared longingly at the handsome and modest man behind the desk, who seemed to be engrossed solely in writing the letter without even sparing him a glance. It couldn’t help feeling wronged.
As a divine beast that had flown day and night to deliver your letter, shouldn’t you have prepared some wine and food as an act of hospitality? Can’t you see I’m starving?
"Squawk—"
Brother Parrot let out a disgruntled protest. The man behind the desk merely glanced up at it before quickly returning to writing the unfinished letter. God knows what he was writing in that letter that took him so long.
Feeling blatantly ignored, Brother Parrot was highly dissatisfied and began squawking loudly regardless of the surroundings.
"Squawk—Squawk—"
The sharp cries successfully drew the man’s attention.
Huo Yuan stood up and slowly walked over to it, looking down at it with an amused smile.
