Chapter 817 - 818: Nangong Yu and Luo Xue (1)
During the meal, Cai Wei inquired about the current situation of the Virtuous Consort with Huo Yuan and received a response that the Virtuous Consort and King Jing were already on guard, so the schemes of Jin Guifei would not succeed.
Although Cai Wei did not know what sort of capability the Huo Family had, which could prevent the powerful Jin Guifei from making a move, Huo Yuan spoke with such composure and certainty that it was clear he had full confidence. While she was very curious about how the Huo Family would deal with Jin Guifei, her relationship with Huo Yuan was merely that of ordinary friends; thus, it was not proper to ask too much, so she had to let it go.
This meal lasted for nearly an hour, and after it was over, Huo Yuan had no reason to stay any longer and was obliged to rise and bid her farewell.
On the way down the stairs, Mu Zhongqing chatted with him cheerfully for a while, and only with evident reluctance did he see him off. In his heart, Huo Yuan was already the prime candidate for his son-in-law.
Cai Wei had no time to consider her father’s desire to become a father-in-law; as soon as Huo Yuan left, she called Zhang Bo to take her back to the manor to continue her experiments with burning glass!
The experiments that afternoon were still unsuccessful, but they had improved a lot compared to before. If the progress continued at this pace, she might succeed when seeing Tuoba Kui in a few days. Nonetheless, she had to try her best!
At dinner time, Cai Wei told her family that she had come back specifically to celebrate Fei’er’s birthday, and that the task entrusted to her by her master was not yet finished; hence, she would have to leave home again for a while.
