Lian'er is to marry Ji Wanfu today, and Cai Wei feels a surge of repulsion in her heart. She truly doesn't understand what Lian'er is thinking; does she believe marrying into a wealthy and noble family will bring the happiness she anticipates?
Even though Cai Wei is clear about what Lian'er's future life might hold, it was her own choice and has nothing to do with others. She can only hope that Lian'er is strong enough to endure it!
After breakfast, Cai Wei left first. There were many matters waiting for her at the hunting ground. For instance, interrogating the assassin captured last night - she had to know who wanted to kill her. Furthermore, Empress Dowager Mo is obsessive about 'selecting concubines' for The Emperor; such affairs would cause others to suspect jealousy on her part as the Empress, were she not present.
