The next day, I woke up to a knock on the door. I got up and got ready. Feng Yu silently handed me the bronze mirror. After finishing my makeup, I went to open the door. Outside stood my elder brother, Cai Ying. He was dressed in official robes, looking handsome and refined. When he saw me, a gentle smile appeared on his face. However, when he caught sight of Feng Yu behind me, his expression instantly darkened.
"You two..."
Feng Yu stood beside me, adopting a protective stance. He pressed closely against me, seemingly wanting to assert his claim over me to Cai Ying.
"It was Feng Yu who came on his own," I explained to Cai Ying. "He now calls me 'sister' and you 'brother.'"
"Brother," Feng Yu nodded.
"You..." Cai Ying's fists were clenched tightly, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. Clearly, he had not yet processed everything before him. After all, his long-lost younger brother and the sister he had raised were unexpectedly entangled together. Anyone would be shocked in such a situation.
Cai Ying's mind was in turmoil as he thought about who was the pig and who was the cabbage. In the end, he reached a conclusion—these two were a perfect match! After all, he had raised her; no one understood her better than he did. His sister had an innocent and charming appearance, seemingly harmless. However, deep down, her maliciousness resembled that of their father.
When his father was young, he was quite the charming figure. The number of women he had been with was countless. The number of men he had entangled with was also innumerable. If it weren't for the family background of his mother, his father would have long been beaten to death in a sack by someone. However, even so, he still managed to ruin himself and tarnish his reputation. Fortunately, his father was merely flirtatious and not incompetent. Otherwise, the Cai Family would likely have fallen apart because of him.
As the child of his father, even as an adopted daughter, Cai Moyu perfectly inherited her father's genes. She appeared weak on the surface but was cunning at heart. Such a person was most suited for political intrigue. As for Feng Yu, he was the child that his father had lost outside. He had been wandering since childhood. It was said that he suffered greatly because he had been switched at birth. However, it was precisely these hardships that made him resilient. His future achievements would likely not be less than those of his father.
These two individuals were simply a perfect match. One was a venomous female antagonist pretending to be innocent, and the other was a tenacious male lead. It was simply perfect! Thinking of this, Cai Ying couldn't help but laugh out loud. He actually laughed until he cried.
"Brother, are you okay?" Feng Yu looked at him with a wary expression.
"I'm fine," Cai Ying wiped away his tears and walked into the house.
Cai Ying rode away quickly from my residence. He handed me what he had brought and then expressionlessly closed the door behind him. Almost simultaneously, Feng Yu leaned down and kissed my neck.
"Sister, we..."
Feng Yu looked at me, wanting to say something but hesitating.
"Feng Yu, what do you think? Should I extort some money from your parents?"
I stroked my chin, deep in thought.
"After all, they lost their son and have only just found him again. They surely wouldn't want you to suffer any more."
"What do you think would be a suitable ransom?"
I rested my chin on my hand, pondering.
"How about three thousand taels of gold?"
"For a second sale, that's a reasonable price increase of fifty percent."
I nodded and sent a letter via carrier pigeon to Father Cai and Mother Cai.
They quickly replied with furious messages, demanding that I return their son immediately.
"If you don't return him, you'll regret it!"
Then, Father Cai sent several more letters.
I replied without hesitation.
"If you don't pay the ransom, just wait to collect his body."
"If even a single tael is missing, I'll chop him up and feed him to the dogs!"
Father Cai fell silent.
The next day, he and Mother Cai brought me the three thousand taels of gold in cash.
"Now, you can leave," Father Cai said coldly as he looked at me.
"Don't say we forced you out; it was your own failure to follow the rules."
"From now on, don't come back to the capital."
Father Cai said this as he took Feng Yu's hand.
"Feng Yu, let's go."
"From now on, you'll stay with us and live a good life."
Father Cai said as he turned to leave with Feng Yu.
Throughout it all, Feng Yu didn't have a chance to say a word to me.
But it didn't matter.
After all, to me, he was just a toy.
I held the ticket and closed the door firmly. The threats from Father Cai and Mother Cai had no effect on me at all. After all, I had been an orphan from the very beginning. It was the Cai Family that raised me. I knew exactly how much money they spent on me. At most, I would just pay with my life. Anyway, I had nothing to lose.
Thinking of this, I fell into a peaceful sleep. The next day, I moved to the neighboring city. There, I bought a residence. That evening, Feng Yu came to visit. He was carrying a bundle in his hand.
"Sister," Feng Yu looked at me with eager anticipation, resembling a puppy begging its owner for shelter. "I’m back."
"What’s my reward?" Feng Yu leaned closer to me. I reached out and slapped his face lightly.
I had sent his portrait to Father Cai and Mother Cai. Soon, they sent me a letter. "Forget it, we accept our fate." "You can leave now."
