Chapter 786 - 787 Promise (5)_1
Mu Zhongqing sat in the carriage, leaning against the window, his head extended outside, reminding once again, "Fei’er, don’t forget what your father told you."
Cai Fei laughed and said: "Don’t worry, Dad, I understand!"
Even with his daughter’s response, Mu Zhongqing still felt uneasy. He sat in the carriage, watching his daughter enter the shop before he could relax and had Zhang Bo drive away.
Today, Cai Wei came early on purpose, for the sole aim of finishing the tasks left by Nanny Xi early so she could go to the State Duke’s Mansion. The news she heard on the street yesterday had been bothering her - she would not be at ease without seeing her grandmother in person.
Therefore, as soon as she was out of her father’s sight, she turned around and whispered to Huan Qiu, "I have to go out a little later, could you please accompany me, Sister Huan Qiu!"
Huan Qiu said with no expression: "The Master had ordered, that Second Miss is not allowed to leave the shop."
Fei’er grasped Huan Qiu’s hand and pleaded: "Sister Huan Qiu, I heard some news about my grandmother in the street yesterday. If I don’t go and see for myself, I really can’t rest assured. Please, could you come with me."
Huan Qiu maintained her icy demeanor unaffected by Fei’er’s plea, "Please don’t make it difficult for this servant, Second Miss!"
"Ah, never mind, if we can’t go, then we can’t!"
Fei’er’s face fell. Although Huan Qiu hadn’t been with them for long, Fei’er had some understanding of her personality. This girl was cold by nature, seldom smiled, and seldom talked, but every word she said was absolute. If she said they couldn’t go to the Duke An’s mansion, then they definitely couldn’t go.
With Huan Qiu staring at her so sternly, Cai Wei naturally gave up the idea of going to the Duke An’s mansion. She went to the backyard of the cloth shop and conscientiously started embroidery lessons, continuing until noon.
There was an old nanny in the cloth shop who was responsible for cooking. Every day, Cai Wei sat in the back kitchen with Nanny Xi for meals. As Nanny Xi was old, she would take a nap for an hour after lunch. During this hour, Cai Wei would sometimes continue to embroider, or sometimes go to another room for a nap too.
