Chapter 1027 - 1029: Zhao Yang’s Innermost Feelings (6)
Knowing he was at fault, County Magistrate Shen sheepishly retreated and immediately hired workers to tear down the mansion’s most spacious stage and to build what is now this sumptuous and expansive courtyard. He even moved out all the personal savings he had accrued over the years, sparing no expense to extravagantly decorate the courtyard, adorning it so lushly and luxuriously that it finally placated Madam Cui, who then agreed to move in!
This courtyard, how many times better than the one Aunt Yan stayed in, brought pleasure to Madam Cui, who gradually began to enjoy herself and stopped treating County Magistrate Shen with the disdain she had shown before.
Seeing Madam’s change in attitude towards him gladdened County Magistrate Shen’s heart, and from then on, he made an even greater effort to please her, hoping she would forgive him sooner, so that the husband and wife could put their resentment behind them and live harmoniously together!
At mealtime, County Magistrate Shen unexpectedly returned, which delighted Cai Wei immensely. She had been intending to find him and discuss some matters...
Outside the Shen mansion, several Liaodan men disguised as Han clung around the entrance, casting sidelong glances at the activity within the mansion grounds.
Ever since Housekeeper Daru had seen that woman at the Pear Blossom Brothel, he had ordered her to be closely watched. Daru had already rushed back to Xiaoyaoshan Manor and sent a pigeon letter to Great Khan Saknu with the news.
It was said that ever since ascending to the Khan’s position, Great Khan Saknu had been looking for this woman. If they could help the Great Khan bring her back to Shengjing, wouldn’t that be a great achievement for them?
