Transmigration: From Farmer To Empress-Chapter 1744 - 1751 Liu Xi Performs Surgery (1)
In a flash, seven days had passed, and the day of Chrysanthemum Divination arrived. However, her luck wasn’t good; after waiting so long, the weather was poor as it was gloomy since morning, seeming like it was about to rain.
Cai Wei thought that it was just past April, so there shouldn’t be much rain, and she paid no mind. Late in the day, she changed into casual clothes and quietly left the palace.
At this time, Nangong Yi had already finished his morning court session and was reviewing memorials in space, doing so while watching over the children beside him.
The children were playing with building blocks, which Cai Wei had designed based on modern children’s building blocks and then ordered skilled craftsmen to custom-make. The kids loved them and often played for one to two hours, managing to build many unexpected things with their children’s imaginations, even astonishing Nangong Yi!
Since having the building blocks, looking after the children became much easier.
After getting on the horse carriage, Cai Wei kept using inner vision to observe the men and the children in space. Even though she couldn’t be there with them, her heart stayed with them always!
It wasn’t until it started raining outside that she withdrew her gaze and heart.
Not long after leaving the palace, it started to rain lightly from the sky, and the rain poured more and more heavily. Before she even reached Sishui Street, there was a torrential downpour, accompanied by thunder. Luckily, her coachman wore a bamboo hat and raincoat, allowing him to continue driving. Cai Wei urged him to hurry, as she feared the fierce weather of thunder and rain.
When they arrived at Sishui Street, the street was already empty, with pedestrians seeking refuge in the shops on both sides of the street. Only a few carriages with coverings were rushing by as if escaping for their lives.
Leaning against the carriage window, Cai Wei looked at the street scene in the downpour through the glass window. After watching for half a day, she could see nothing clearly except for the increasingly dense raindrops and blade-like streaks of lightning.
At this moment, the carriage suddenly stopped, and the coachman said: "Madam, up ahead seems to be a Shen family’s carriage, and... a horse!" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
Upon hearing this, Cai Wei hurriedly lifted the curtain and looked ahead. Indeed, in the curtain of rain, she saw two carriages and, upon close inspection, recognized them as the Shen family’s carriage and a highly sought-after horse worth a thousand gold.
Seeing that horse, Cai Wei immediately knew what was happening without having to ask. Such a good horse that ordinary people couldn’t afford could only mean Mo Zili had come to see Juhua!
She felt a headache; this Mo Zili had been shadowing Juhua like a shadow for days whenever she took Juhua out to check the accounts. Although he wasn’t shamelessly pestering her, from some of his actions, Cai Wei felt he was somewhat obsessive. In her era, this would be called paranoid personality disorder, and it was a mental illness where once a person set their mind on something, it was hard to turn it around.
In fact, a person with such a personality, when they fall in love, would love deeply. But similarly, once they lose that love, they might do many unexpected, crazy things. Cai Wei feared that if Juhua didn’t choose him, he might act out impulsively and do something irrational to Juhua, so before Juhua made her final decision, Cai Wei didn’t want them to meet too often to prevent him from doing anything impulsive to Juhua.
Knowing that Mo Zili was currently in Juhua’s carriage, Cai Wei hurriedly instructed her coachman: "You go tell Miss Shen that I have already arrived, and it’s time for our meeting, tell her to leave immediately."
The coachman responded, "Yes!" and then drove the carriage over.
