Chapter 716: Warm Home (2)_1
Cai Wei had earnestly wished to heal her grandmother’s eyes, to let her once again experience the beauty of life. They would show filial piety to her and give her a blissful old age. However, this simple wish, in the end, came to nothing...
She knelt down, giving her respects to the tombstone by bowing her head several times, and whispered, "Grandmother, I am back. I am sorry, I returned too late. They cruelly took your life. But rest assured, I will not spare any of the people who hurt you. Someday, I will bring them before your grave to pay for their actions..."
Cai Wei knelt in front of the tomb for an hour. Mu Zhongqing and Huo Yuan stood quietly behind her without rushing her or dissuading her. They quietly accompanied her until she stood up when they hurried forward to lend her a hand, fearing that she might have numbed her legs from kneeling for so long.
"Grandmother, I will be going back first. I will come to accompany you when I have time. The promise I made to you, I will definitely fulfill. Please wait in peace!" She murmured, casting one last look at the undisturbed tombstone before turning around to leave...
On their return to the city, Mu Zhongqing claimed to have some matters to attend to at the restaurant. Therefore, he entrusted Cai Wei to Huo Yuan, asking him to take her back to Mount Bishui.
Huo Yuan was more than willing to comply. Cai Wei, being a perceptive woman, grasped her father’s intentions. However, she did not refuse as she had matters to discuss with Huo Yuan as well. Bidding her father goodbye, she then boarded Huo Yuan’s carriage.
As soon as Huo Yuan got into the carriage, Cai Wei looked at him directly and sincerely said, "Big Brother Huo, I really appreciate your help this time. Without your support, who knows how much worse our situation at home could have become!"
Without mentioning the rest, at least her father Mu Zhongqing’s prison crisis was inevitable. There was the terrifying ordeal at the public hall, the various tortures in the large prison- all of it. Her father was a refined scholar, how could he endure such torture!
