Chapter 418

Lady Cai wept, her tears falling like rain on pear blossoms.

"How many years have you said it's been? I am already twenty. Must I really wait until I am thirty? How is Lord Liu Liu Xuande any worse than that Liu Brother Brother Jingsheng? On the contrary, he is far better!"

"Think about it, how old is Liu Biao? How many more years can he protect my Cai family? Lord Liu Liu Xuande is only just over thirty, he is in good health, and he has decades of bright prospects ahead."

Lady Cai's face flushed as she said this.

"Lord Liu Liu Xuande defeated the allied forces of Ding Yuan Shao and Cao Cao and crushed Sun Ce. Who could Liu Brother Brother Jingsheng ever defeat?"

Cai Zhong nodded.

"What you say is true, little sister. Lord Liu Liu Xuande holds the three provinces, commands over two hundred thousand armored troops, and has fierce generals like clouds under his command. Who knows what the future holds..."

Lady Cai continued.

"Lord Liu Liu Xuande is the Imperial Uncle of the late Emperor; his status is noble. Who is to say what he might achieve in the future... I am only thinking of the Cai family!"

Cai Mao... *I almost believed her. *

"Even so, our Cai family's roots are in Jingzhou, and Liu Biao took you as his wife. Liu Bei is only taking you as a concubine."

Lady Cai snorted.

"What does it matter if I am a wife or a concubine? With my beauty, could I not win his favor?"

"Besides, Liu Biao's wife is still alive. Are you suggesting you would kill her?"

Cai Zhong whispered.

"Big brother, I think little sister is right. If Liu Bei becomes Emperor, our little sister would at least be a Noble Consort! If she could bear an imperial prince..."

Cai Mao naturally knew that if he had another sister, he would throw her to Liu Bei without hesitation!

Lady Cai dropped another bombshell.

"Big brother, I am already Lord Liu Liu Xuande's woman!"

Cai Mao:?! *Liu Bei's speed is... *

He let out a long sigh.

"Fine. I hope your choice is the right one."

*Let Liu Biao scold me if he wants; I will slowly repair the relationship. *

Lady Cai turned her tears into smiles, her mood instantly improved.

She hurried to the main hall, but upon seeing Liu Bei, her footsteps faltered.

Liu Bei saw her expression and knew the matter was settled; he nodded at her.

Lady Cai gave a charming smile and turned to leave.

Pang Tong felt immense envy in his heart.

"The Lord is truly invincible in all he does. Sigh, if only I had half—no, even a tenth of the Lord's ability, that would be enough!"

Once Cai Mao thought it through, his expression also shifted to a smile; having the world-renowned Lord Liu Liu Xuande as a brother-in-law really didn't seem bad at all!

"Lord Liu Liu Xuande, shall we set a date?"

Liu Bei laughed.

"How about five days from now? That should be enough time for Brother De Gui to invite your relatives and friends, right?"

Cai Mao nodded. It was a bit rushed, but still manageable. It was just that...

Liu Bei knew what he was afraid of.

"No matter. If Brother Brother Brother Jingsheng blames anyone, I shall naturally go to offer my apologies."

Cai Mao sighed. What else could he do?

He looked at Liu Bei, and a sudden flash of insight struck him.

"Could it be that when Liu Bei was treating the Governor's wife, he had already thought of this? That Liu Bei is truly terrifying!"

A deep sense of awe for Liu Bei grew within Cai Mao!
