What else do you have to say?” Caiwei interrupted him, her eyes filled with mocking, her laughter cold, not reaching her eyes: “Don’t call me your niece anymore, to avoid tarnishing my ears. Did you really think I wouldn’t see through your sleazy plots, sending your butcher’s son to harass Butcher Zhang, ruin our reputation, then going to the Clan Leader, forcing us to submit, ending in trying to rob us, thinking everything would go as planned, Mu Zhongli, your retribution today is divine justice!” Mu Zhongli was choked, his lips trembling: “I, I ...” What he initially intended was to beg Caiwei to plead for him, since she is wealthy now and her words would carry weight, but seeing her cold expression and hearing her ruthless sarcasm, he realized it’s all useless. Besides, the bailiffs who came today were most probably arranged by her, he closed his mouth and was led away, his face ashen... The moment the bailiffs left, Caiwei bowed and said to An Qiyun: “Thank you, County Magistrate An, for your righteous action.” An Qiyun smiled: “Punishing the wicked and rooting out the corrupt is the duty of the government, there’s no need for thanks, instead, I have a small request to ask of Miss. Can you grant it?” Caiwei promptly said: “Please tell, Miss will do her best.” As it turns out, tomorrow is the seventieth birthday of An Qiyun’s mother. All his brothers are influential figures and they’ve prepared an abundant feast for their mother’s birthday banquet. Recently, grilled meat skewers majorly trended, and people who’d tasted it claimed it to taste better than any mountain and sea delicacies, so the brothers decided to add grilled meat skewers to the banquet menu. The issue is, grilled meat skewers are the speciality of Bafu Restaurant, and if their grill chef was hired, Bafu Restaurant might even have to close down. The question is whether Bafu’s boss would agree. Upon hearing this, Caiwei quickly said: “Being able to contribute to the Old Madame’s birthday is Bafu Restaurant’s good fortune, it’s a chance that’s hard to come by, there’s no reason to refuse, Sir, rest assured, we will arrive at your Mansion early tomorrow, we won’t break our promise!” Seeing her respond so tactfully, An Qiyun left quite satisfied, and Caiwei revealed a calculating smile. Tomorrow is the 23rd of the Lunar month, the traditional Minor New Year’s day when few people go to restaurants and most stay home with their families. So, even if Bafu Restaurant was open as usual tomorrow, there’d be hardly any customers, rather, it would be better to sell their service to County Magistrate An as a favour. Besides, it was said that several of An Qiyun’s brothers were influential people, so those who could attend the birthday celebration at An Mansion tomorrow must be either wealthy or noble. Perhaps, she could use this opportunity to promote her barbecue to a larger and further place! After Mu Zhongli was taken away, the startled Lady Du, supported by Chun Liu and Fei’er, returned to her room. Caiwei, with tomorrow’s barbecue at An Mansion in mind, went straight to the door to discuss with Uncle Zhou and Jiu Jin. Uncle Zhou and Jiu Jin both took the matter of grilling at the official residence very seriously. They repeatedly assured Caiwei that they’d do their best in order to bring honor to Bafu Restaurant. While Caiwei was discussing on this end, she suddenly felt someone staring at her from behind. She quickly turned back and indeed, saw a tall figure at the corner of the street. Rubbing her temples, an unnamed anger suddenly flared up in her heart, causing her temper to rise sharply! In the morning, she confessed to that rascal that she should never be disturbed again; after all, what was that figure at the corner of the street? Did he think she was blind? Full of anger, she quickly walked to the street corner, and when she saw the face of the one who had come, the anger in her heart was even more intense. This guy, is that square-faced guard who tried to bribe her with silver in the mountains and even defaulted to kidnapping her when he failed. With a cold tone, Mu Caiwei questioned: “Hey, square-faced bloke, what are you doing here? Why are you spying on me? Don’t even dare to say that you are just taking a walk here.” Upon hearing these words, Chai Feng almost fell, and even the horse carriage next to him quivered. He paid her with a silver coin, but she was dressed like a beggar at that time. Giving her a silver coin was already significant, so why would she still call him a miser? With great difficulty, he calmed himself down and Chai Feng spoke, “Miss, please do not misunderstand, I have no ill intentions. I am only carrying out my master’s orders to deliver something to you!” With that, he took out a beautifully crafted brocade box from his embrace and handed it over with both hands. “What is this?” Cai Wei looked at him suspiciously, not taking the beautifully made box. Chai Feng responded, “I am not sure what it is, my master only instructed me to personally deliver the box to you and convey to you that you are like the contents of this box. I truly hope you won’t belittle or devalue yourself and get covered in dust!” As he spoke, his gaze subtly shifted towards Jiujin. “I mean, belittle myself?” This suggestive phrase agitated Cai Wei to the point of nearly jumping up, she wasn’t even paying attention to Chai Feng’s evasive eyes anymore. “What does he mean? I am just doing my business, not stealing or robbing, how have I belittled myself? And who does he think he is, daring to insult me like this?” Faced with the fiercely aggressive girl, Chai Feng helplessly replied: “Miss, I can’t fathom my master’s thoughts. If you have any doubts, please ask him yourself if you ever meet him.” “Hmph, meet him!” Cai Wei waved her hand dismissively, her face full of contempt: “I have no interest in seeing him, I am not intrigued by pretty boys, and I wish I would never have to see him again in my life. You may go, I am not worthy to receive his gifts.” At the roadside, the carriage jolted again..... On the carriage, the man in the luxury garments sitting dangerously clutched the cup in his hand as if he was gripping someone’s neck, gritting his teeth as he smiled... Heh, she really dared to call him a pretty boy... Outside the carriage, having vented her resentment, Cai Wei turned and walked away. “Hey, Miss, wait a minute!” Chai Feng hurriedly stepped forward to block Cai Wei’s path and again offered her the box. “My master ordered me to deliver this box to you, and I must obey his orders!” “Hoh, must?” Cai Wei maliciously looked at the tall man in front of her and said thoughtfully: “Square-faced miser, HE is your master, not mine. Why should I obey his orders? If I refuse to take his gift, what can you do to me?”
