Transmigration: From Farmer To Empress-Chapter 232: Return to Mu Family Village (1)_1

Upon hearing Cai Wei’s voice, Lady Du hurried out from the back kitchen, wiping her hands with her apron as she looked over her daughter, asking, "Wei’er, where are the New Year’s gifts for the main house?"

Cai Wei paused for a beat, biting the bullet, she said, "There is too much stuff, I cannot carry it all. So I’ve only chosen the items, after dinner, let Zhang Bo take me with the carriage to get it."

Lady Du said, "I asked Zhang Bo to go shopping with you but you refused, now you know!"

Cai Wei laughed and said: "I know now, not heeding the advice of one’s elders will lead to trouble. In the future, I, your daughter, will not dare to disobey your words again."

Although she was smiling, she couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. This side was like an arrow drawn on a bow, a matter of life and death, yet she still had to deal with those hypocritical, selfish, greedy relatives. Life really is full of helplessness!

Despite her complaints, what needs to be done, still needs to be done. freewēbnoveℓ.com

She activated her Inner Vision to check the loot she had taken from the Lü family. She picked out some mediocre items, planning to use them to deal with the main house the next day.

After listening to her daughter’s explanation, Lady Du didn’t suspect anything and returned to the kitchen to busy herself again.

After dinner, Cai Wei took Zhang Bo’s horse carriage to the market, ostensibly to buy New Year’s goods for the main house.

When the horse carriage stopped at the clothing shop, Cai Wei had Zhang Bo halted. She went inside to buy a set of sky-blue satin clothes for her dad. The lake blue silken robe she bought for her dad in Yushu County City had been torn by Mu Liankui and Mu Zhongli. Although it was mended later by her mother, the patches clashed with the valuable satin and looked quite abruptly. Therefore, she specifically came to buy a new set for her dad so he could wear new clothes for the New Year.

After buying clothes for her dad, she bought some soft cotton cloth for making underwear for the family. Her concept was different from that of the ancients. Ancestors displayed their wealth through clothes and even their undergarments were of silk, but she believed cotton undergarments had better ventilation and were more comfortable to wear. Therefore, she insisted on making cotton undergarments.

After making her purchases, the shop owner packed a large parcel for her and cheerfully sent her out. Now, Cai Wei had become a major customer for them, and they had to treat her well.

Cai Wei stepped back onto the carriage, took the cotton cloth out of the parcel, placed it into the space, and took out some clothes she took from Lü’s House from space. She took out a few articles of clothing, planning to give them to the main family the next day.

"Miss, where else should we go?" asked Zhang Bo.

"To the grocery store."

The main family had asked for some cups and plates, she had to put on a show to meet their demands.

At the grocery store, she picked out a few plates and bowls, but they were not for the main house. There was an ancient superstition that the household should purchase new dishes in order to signify prosperity and surplus in the New Year.

She also wanted to join in on the tradition, so she picked out several items to add to the household collection.

After the purchases were made, the dishes were placed in the basket. She carried the basket and stepped out. Just as she reached the entrance, she saw the icy faced woman subordinated to Nangong Yi standing at the entrance, her arms crossed, coldly watching her.

The woman saw her looking back and said coldly, "The master is at the tea house in front, he wants to meet you."

Cai Wei was very disgusted with this woman. In her past life, she was also a bodyguard. Although she often had a stern expression due to her work, she never frowned like this woman who looked as if somebody owed her money all the time. Chick’s sulking demeanor was suffocating!

The two didn’t meet often, but every time they did, it ended unpleasantly. Cai Wei instinctively refused her requests except for this time where she agreed readily. This was because Tianjizi was coming and she needed to discuss some strategies with that evildoer Nangong Yi. She had been worrying about how to find him, how fortuitous it was that he had sent someone to find her.
