Now she even has fainted from laughing. I fear she might have got poisoned, that’s why I came to inform you, Master!” “Understood, you can leave!” In the carriage, Nangong Yi couldn’t help but let out a soft chuckle, the corners of his lips slightly lifting. Little girl, indeed a little hedgehog! Whoever dares to provoke her will get a strong retaliation! Being a trusted servant of the Imperial Mother, Luo Xue has always behaved arrogantly. She must have said something she shouldn’t have to the little girl, provoking her vicious revenge. Luo Xue will probably keep a distance from her from now on. At this moment, Cai Wei was sitting in the Great House of Mu, lazily answering questions from the others, and playing with her pearly nails. “Sister Wei, where’s the BBQ secret recipe you promised Grandpa?” Cai Wei casually replied: “I’ve written it down. It’s in the red wooden box in the backyard. You can find it tomorrow when we move out.” “Oh, oh...” Having received the answer, the old man had nothing more to say to his granddaughter. He got up and began to walk, saying, “Grandpa is tired, I’ll rest for a while. You can chat with your grandma,” glancing at Lady Bai and leaving. Once the old man left, Lady Bai understood. She pulled her sagging cheeks back into a ‘kind and friendly’ smile, and gently said, “Sister Wei, I realize I never really had a heart-to-heart chat with you before. Now your family is moving to the capital and with my old age, there might not be a chance to see each other again...” She began to pluck her clothes and wiped her tears. Cai Wei shivered and involuntarily hugged her own arm. Well fellow, it seems we’re going down the path of misery, but shouldn’t you have some affection first before there can be misery? From my childhood till now, she, as my grandma, has never really cared about me—not even noticing when I was starving. And now she wants to use tears and affection to move me—it’s shameless! Still, she was curious indeed. They already have the restaurant, what could they possibly manipulate out of her? She was guessing when the old grandmother began to speak again. “In the past, because of some disputes with your mother, I wrongly got angry with you. But now, I regret it. I’ve been thinking I should do something to make it up to you. Yet now, you’re all wealthy and have everything. I guess my humble belongings may not catch your eyes, so I thought another way to compensate you.” Cai Wei laughed and said, “When did you see me in wealth and splendor? If I were indeed, would I be wearing this simple hairpin on my head?” Looking at Cai Wei, the grandmother whispered, “There’s no outsiders here, Sister Wei. Don’t hesitate to tell me. What’s the real relationship between you and your master?” Cai Wei was surprised: “What do you mean?” Lady Bai let out a laugh and affectionately said, “You silly girl, you’re still pretending with grandma. I’ve seen it all. Though my eyes are old, they are shrewd. The way your master looks at you...is more like a man looking at a woman, not like a master to his disciple. His gaze is tender like a puddle of water. Everyone can see through it. Don’t pretend with grandma!” Cai Wei blushed! Damn that man! He must have sneaked peeks at her when she was not looking. Even Lady Bai has noticed his unusual behavior towards her. Has her father noticed anything while sitting with that man? As Cai Wei thought, her face grew hotter. Seeing Cai Wei blush, Lady Bai was even more certain of her guess and replied, “Silly girl, what’s there to be shy about? A woman is bound to get married sooner or later. And to marry such a handsome and wealthy man is definitely your good fortune. But I must remind you. Men like that are easy to forget old love when they find new affection. As an unsophisticated girl from the countryside, how can you survive in that large mansion if you fall out of his favor, with all those scheming servants waiting to grind you down? So, I’ve thought of a great way to help you solidify your status!” Having said that, she closed her mouth and looked nonchalant. Looking at her, Cai Wei suddenly thought of six words: “Women marry and remarry, submit to fate.” It was the most appropriate description of her! “Hehe, I wonder what great idea you’ve come up with to help me?” Cai Wei asked, mocking. She was very curious to find out what else this old pious woman would do to manipulate her. Seeing Cai Wei’s inquiry, Lady Bai thought it was a good sign. Leaning towards Cai Wei, she whispered, “Get Sister Ping to marry the young master as well. That will help solidify your status!”
