Chapter 749: Arriving Early Tomorrow (6)_1
Cai Fei hadn’t considered this matter seriously. To her surprise, not long after the maid left, the madam of the maid’s household came in person to thank her.
The madam, who was young and beautiful, brought a high-quality jadeite bracelet as a token of gratitude after meeting Cai Fei. However, Cai Fei, not being a greedy person, refused to accept it no matter what. Seeing her insistence, the madam, knowing that the fabric shop was owned by Cai Fei’s family, purchased several rolls of satin fabric instead and promised to often visit her for chats in the future...
Although this incident did not seem significant, Cai Wei felt somewhat uneasy and advised her, "There’s nothing wrong with being acquainted with that madam. But you shouldn’t leave the shop with her casually. It’s always hard to judge a person’s inner thoughts. If she turns out to have a deceitful heart, we’ll regret it too late...".
After practicing overnight, Cai Wei made some progress. Although she still couldn’t embroider any pattern, she could at least make even stitches. Satisfied with the improved stitches, she bid Cai Fei goodnight and quietly returned to her room.
The night was falling, and most of the residents of the capital were already in bed. Cai Wei opened her window, and looking at the gentle moonlight outside, she naturally thought of the man who was in Lingbei.
He, like other princes, could have been enjoying his time in a pleasant garden under the moonlight or having a pleasant time with his friends at his mansion in the capital. The capital offered a variety of indulgences. However, for her sake, he removed his brocade robe, put on armor, and went to the savage land of Lingbei, where he is fighting to death with barbaric Meng slaves. During this enchanting night, he could only gaze at the moon in the desolate plains, or be tasting solitude under the moonlight.
A soft pain pierced Cai Wei’s heart; she turned, and hastily writing a letter, she called out to Brother Parrot and instructed him to deliver the letter to Lingbei overnight. As for herself, her heart filled with tender thoughts, tossing and turning until the middle of the night, she gradually fell asleep...
Brother Parrot only reached Lingbei when the sky brightened.
When Nangong Yi saw it, he was having breakfast on an outdoor grassland with everyone. The food he had procured on his way to Lingbei had already run out. Now all they were eating was spoiled food sent by Jin Guifei’s team. Despite being delicacies, they had a moldy smell, and one could tell from the decreasing food consumption that the soldiers were extremely dissatisfied with the meals in the camp.
