Transmigration: From Farmer To Empress-Chapter 1304 - 1311: Body Examination (1)
Chapter 1304: Chapter 1311: Body Examination (1)
Supposedly, the virtuous receive virtue and the wicked receive wickedness—the downfall of the main house family was all of their own making.
Cai Wei’s emotions were not at all swayed by them; she took out twenty taels of silver, handed them to Eldest Auntie Zhou, and said, "Eldest Auntie, I have urgent matters to attend to and cannot return. If Grandmother passes away, please take the trouble to handle her funerary arrangements."
After living in the same village for many years, Eldest Auntie Zhou naturally knew how poorly the main house family had treated the Second house family. Now that Cai Wei could generously offer twenty taels of silver for Grandmother’s funeral, she was already being very magnanimous, especially considering how much the Old Fart had worn down this family in the past.
She accepted the silver and tucked it away, saying, "Rest assured, Eldest Auntie will definitely take care of your family Grandmother’s funerary arrangements properly, guaranteeing your satisfaction."
Cai Wei replied, "Eldest Auntie is surely dependable in handling affairs; I am just troubled to inconvenience you. You came to join in the Zhou Family’s celebration wine, didn’t you? By the time Wei’er left, the Zhou’s new daughter-in-law had already arrived, and it was quite bustling. Please, go ahead, Eldest Auntie!"
"Ah, alright!" freeweɓnovel-cøm
Eldest Auntie Zhou nodded and left courteously.
The current Cai Wei was no longer the same girl Eldest Auntie Zhou had watched grow up—the one who never had enough to eat and had the pallid countenance of a wretched creature. Now, apart from her air of wealth and elegance, she also possessed an irresistible aura that made people involuntarily want to bow down to her.
After parting ways with Eldest Auntie Zhou, Cai Wei bought plenty of food and supplies in the market. She then discreetly caught a few fish from Space and loaded a full cart, pulling it towards Nursing Homes.
The Nursing Home in Qingyun Town was the first Nursing Home that Cai Wei had established, having invested all of her worth to set it up, so it held a very special place in her heart.
Upon arrival at the Nursing Home, the elderly, young, sick, and disabled residents were ecstatic to see Cai Wei, almost more than if it were a festival. They all rushed over to swarm around her, offering warm greetings and inquiries about her well-being.
Cai Wei distributed the goods she brought to everyone, inspected the Nursing Home, and finding it managed well by Old Madam An and Aunt Zhou, she felt gratified. After a good long chat with everyone, she left.
Stepping outside, she found a secluded spot and quietly Entered Space. Having been awake all night, and then harried by that bastard Nangong Yi for most of the night, she was now extremely tired. After a simple bath in Space, she lay down on her large bed made of Golden Silk Nan Wood and fell into a sweet, peaceful sleep.
Unbeknownst to her, far away in the Capital, the scandalous affair between Xiang Yun and the handsome man who had rescued her on the Street had become public knowledge. Everyone in the alleys and streets was abuzz with sensational history of Duke Li Guo’s Mansion’s Young Madam and that handsome man.
Those rumors, fermented overnight, had morphed into tales of the Young Madam’s attempted elopement with her paramour, which was discovered and led to a chase by the Guards of the Mansion resulting in a spooked horse trampling someone—of course, the end result was the Young Madam’s failed escape and her return home, her fate now hanging by a thread...
Powerful and influential, Duke Li Guo’s Mansion dispatched men to secretly investigate who was behind the rumor-milling while also looking into the stranger who had saved Xiang Yun on the Street.
At the time, many on the Street recognized Situ Changge, so the result of this investigation came quickly, with the Guards relaying it back to Duke Li Guo’s Mansion.
This would not have been such a big deal if it were not for the fact that another piece of news reached Duke Li Guo’s Mansion at the same time.
It turned out that on the night Xiang Yun was attacked, one of the Bandits Situ Changge had rounded up recognized him. After being thrown in jail, in an attempt to reduce his punishment, the Bandit reported the incident to Yingtian Prefecture Yamen. Given the gravity of the situation, Zhao Fuyin dared not conceal it and, getting up early, dispatched a messenger to inform Duke Li Guo’s Mansion of the event.
